Hello to all my lovely and caffeinated readers!
I'm so sorry for being MIA in the recent weeks, my blogger hasn't been working!! There are a lot of new and exciting things coming our way in the new year; so make sure you stay tuned and keep reading to hear all about the crazy and unexpected adventure.
Also, I joined a brand new social media webpage called "
Zomato" The app is super cool and useful for every foodie looking for a great place to hang out, pig out and go on romantic dates. Be sure to follow me on the
Zomato app, so you can be sure to keep track of all my
coffee (and not so
coffee) explorations!
As you know, a few weeks ago I visited a little
coffee shoppe called
The Good Neighbour, don't take this name lightly kids, they really are
The Good Neighbour and I mean this in every literal way possible!
The Good Neighbour is literally located in a neighbourhood (hence the name), the
coffee shoppe looks like a typical home, inside of a typical neighbourhood. Once you enter the house (
The Good Neighbour) you get an urban and hipster feel. Inside the
coffee shoppe you will see the
coolest looking people around town. The decor was filled with
warm and
deep colours, I got an industrial-studio feel from the decor. The tabletops were a
light brown wood, there was a cute bar over looking the city streets and there were tubes of
coffee beans hanging beside a chalk board menu behind the cash counter. It was cool and very different, definitely left an impact on the decor side of my brain.

When I entered
The Good Neighbour, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was filled with cheerful, hipster customers. I walked up to the counter to order my medium double double the man behind the counter was so nice and happy to be working. As he was making my
coffee, I asked him many questions about
The Good Neighbour and he was properly trained and knowledgable about every question I had for him. He explained that the
coffee The Good Neighbour sold was
organic and
100% free trade, he also mentioned to tell me that when customers buy
coffee from them, they know for sure they are buying quality and aren't just "throwing" money away.

The flavour you ask? Raw,
organic and great! As all of you know, I am a self-proclaimed
coffee connoisseur, which actually means, I
love coffee and not only do I love
coffee; I also adore a great cup of
coffee. Not many people really take the time like I do to make sure to really know and understand what kind of
coffee I am indulging in, and I can honestly say that
The Good Neighbour's coffee was just very real. Real, not like the processed
coffee we are all used to from the typical franchises around us, but real in the sense it didn't taste like the favour was tampered with. The
coffee was amazing and tasted a little fruity, which kind of makes sense; since
coffee beans come from a fruit and then are roasted to get their flavour.

There was no drive-thru option, and there was no parking spaces available. I had to park on the side of the road.

Price: $4.25. The price is high, but as the barista said; you are getting what you pay for: amazing, free trade and
organic coffee; with no secrets.

coffee, the baristas are willing to explain everything to you without feeling like you are bothering them.
