We’ve hosted a lot of firsts. First days of university, first dates, first “shall we do this again?” Then a few of you came back with a ring and a photographer. And some of you even came back to get married! Our Ontario coffee shops have quietly become a romance hotspot and honestly, we get it. 🥹
Where did you meet your partner? 👩❤️💋👨👨❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👩

Coffee has been banned more than once, and it was rarely about the coffee. In Mecca, Istanbul, London and Paris, the people in charge worried about the same thing: a room full of people with their own opinions.
Swipe for a quick history of the coffeehouse as the most suspicious place in town. ☕️

Café Harvest is back! 🍂 We make it with real pumpkin purée, warm spices, Canadian maple syrup and espresso, so it actually tastes like fall instead of the idea of fall.

We couldn’t pick just one caramel apple drink, so we didn’t. 🍎☕️
Latte for the classicists. Chai for the spice people. C***r for the caffeine-optional. Shaken espresso for those of you with a 9am and no plans to be late to it.
Fall is here and it’s in a cup at Balzac’s. 🍂

Home is your first place. Work is your second. The third is where community happens: cafés, libraries, barbershops, the park bench with the good view.
Sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the term “third place” in 1989, and the research since has been pretty clear. Casual conversations with people you half know make us happier and more connected. Even a real chat with your barista counts.
Where’s your third place? Tell us below. We’ll try not to take it personally. 👇
