Canadians are very lucky to have so many coffee shops to choose from, across the country! We really missed these in a recent trip south of the 49th parallel. Trust me: you do not always want McDonalds when you need your "vitamin C" (C for Coffee!!) - although some people like their coffee (sorry if that's you - I don't mean to offend!) And where else do you go to sit back and relax, and catch up - especially if you don't need or want alcoholic beverages!
So, this is one of my favourite local Starbucks coffee shops to go to, partly because this area is less crowded than, say, the Kanata Centrum outlet. But don't let that fool you! They do get busy!! Like other Starbucks locations, this one has had some changes made to the seating available in the last month or so. now they've added bench seating along the window, with high stools to sit there. This way, they add a few more seats. Good thing, too, as there's nowhere else to put any more tables and chairs! Although it's true that this shop really catches the light, I can say that they have added blinds which is a big improvement. It's still a small shop, busy and crowded. And it's a popular place in Kanata North. read more
