Physical space
We have been in our space at 208 Main Street in Schomberg since 2006. Before the coffee shop it has had a variety of purposes, most notably as the general store that served the area back in the 1950s when it survived Hurricane Hazel. We are carrying on the tradition of surviving adversity, being at the core of the village, and providing people what they need, and that includes good coffee. Want to come see us? Use the map.
Mental Space
The community has been incredibly supportive over the years and we do what we can to return that support. Being located in beautiful King Township and sharing our love of the outdoors with our animals drives our approach. Not liking being told what to do drives our attitude.
We offer a space for children’s art as well as a spot for local and little known artists to hang their art and take little to no commission
Our dairy uses reusable glass milk containers and are located in Creemore; they are re-used every week and processed using rebuilt equipment from the 1940s. They also make great ice cream, which we have.
We only use bio-degradable cups with recyclable lids and sleeves (if we will even give you a sleeve)
In fact all our take out containers are bio-degradable or recyclable
