While visiting Ontario, we stopped in Barry's Bay. I looked on Yelp for coffee shops and found nothing in the area. A lady at the local Metro grocery store pointed me to Madawaska Coffee Inc. As we approached, I had a good feeling about the shop. As we entered, I saw their roaster and professional espresso machine and got more hopeful. The staff was helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about coffee and roasting.
I got a small cappuccino, less hot. The temperature was just right and the coffee was slightly nutty and slightly sweet with no bitterness. The person helping me also roasts their coffee and explained to me that this is their espresso blend. I was impressed with the quality and flavor.
My family got other drinks and found them excellent. Anyone passing through looking for a great coffee should stop here. I also purchased a pound of their locally roasted coffee and am looking forward to trying it. read more
