7 London, Ontario Coffee & Tea Shops With Nutritious And Delicious Options
Coffee is more than just another hot beverage—it’s a lifestyle and a culture. Whether you’re catching up with old friends or just taking a break for yourself, your cup of joe shouldn’t be just good—it should be good for you. The health benefits of coffee are abundant (in moderation, of course), so long as you know where to go. Whether you’re looking for fair trade, organic beans or alternative milk options, like soy or nut milk, the following is a list of coffee shops nearby in London, Ontario that are brewing up grinds for your daily fix.
10 Eighteen Coffee Bar
10 Eighteen Coffee Bar caters to your every craving, from fresh pour over coffee to select wines and craft brews. Independently owned and operated in the heart of the Old East Village, everything on the menu is made in-house or sourced locally in Ontario. Vegan and gluten-free baked goods, charcuterie boards, and sandwiches are the perfect pairing to 10 Eighteen’s three exclusive roasts. What makes this café stand out from the rest? Rather than batch brewing their drip coffee, they freshly grind the beans after you place your order—providing you with a high-quality cup every time.
