    Front of the cafe and roastery.
    Jennifer P.

    My husband and I usually go to the Equator Coffee in Westboro, which is walking distance from our house. We like their coffee and baked goods, but my husband recently got into roasting his own coffee beans, so we decided to go to their main location in Almonte, which is a cafe and roastery to buy some green coffee beans. Well, we weren't able to buy any green coffee beans from them, despite them having some there (in big vats). We were told that we had to buy them online and pay to have them shipped to our house. Picking up at the store after purchasing online is only available for wholesale orders, so retail orders have to pay for shipping regardless. So that kind of sucked. Good thing we didn't drive all the way to Almonte just for those green coffee beans. I think that they should develop a system for people to buy green coffee beans at the roastery. Like the beans are right there, so just have the staff weigh out a pound, package it and sell it. Anyway, we left without buying anything, but I'm sure their coffee and food are good, because they supply the Westboro location, which we've been to many times. This Almonte location is much bigger and it also has lots of free parking.

    As always, the staff, and what they serve, exceeds expectations. The flat white and ginger molasses cookie was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Some would question why I would drive 25 minutes for something I can get closer. My answer is "why not?". Sometimes the travel makes the experience that much richer.

    A casual fair trade coffee house that you can sign up to go on a tour of the back to see how they roast their coffee beans. I've gone several times and each time the dark coffee or coffee drinks are outstanding.

    Even the latte is made with love .

    Incredible service and BOMB coffee. I would say, without hesitation, the best in Canada. Prices are fair and the store is bright and lovely.

    The coffee beans are great and I love the smell that wafts over my street when they roast the beans.

    (You aren't going to find it by wandering the shopping district.) They do sell a number of interesting fair trade items - jewelry etc.

We dropped by to check out this Frankenstein of a creation we saw online. It was an espresso in a donut. Yup you read that right! Space is a little smaller than the old location but they now sell vinyl and books. The barista is a awesome. Super friendly and makes good coffee. There's a lot of different drinks you can get, the food menu looks a little limited at the moment but they're working on it. They're also working on a liquor license as well. Here's a pic of the donut coffee. The donut is really dense at the bottom but light on the top. There's also some Nutella or similar spread inside the donut. I'd say, I might get this again as they're willing to put any drink inside. I found the dense part of the donut heavy, so donut tops only for me! Hopefully they expand the food options, will be back though.

Brilliant if you like to try different coffees right??? B R I L L A N T! Today I tried [Structure]'s Kewo Kemina and It smooth and packed a lot of flavor. I enjoyed It as a flat white. They also don't have to go cups here. You must bring your own, borrow one of theirs, or use a for here cup that makes you feel like you're at home. It's very flexible and they were very nice. My barista was kindly chatting with me which I highly enjoyed. Great vibe, relaxed, nice place to work or relax. There's indoor seating and an outdoor patio that reuses crates for seating. Another brilliant idea. Plenty of street parking, kindness and positivity. Thanks for a lovely experience

The Long Version: My husband and I met my husband's sister and her husband here to hang out before we went to see a show at the Studio Theatre. I got a cinnamon bun ($3.50) and a herbal tea ($3.50), and my husband got a black coffee ($2.75). The cinnamon bun was unremarkable in my opinion. It was just ok, maybe even a bit dry, and also on the thin side. Not thick and fluffy. My tea was just a tea bag from Four O'clock Teas (I got Turmeric Cinnamon, which at least is a more unusual flavour that I haven't seen in stores). The temperature was nice and hot, but it was just bagged tea from a brand sold in health food stores. The inside of the cafe is nice. We sat in the front room near the service counter, but there are back rooms that are a bit more quiet. I would say the ambiance is the nicest thing. Service was pleasant. Maybe some of their other baked goods have more oomph and maybe their crafted drinks are special. My experience was just ok, but it might have been what I ordered. Street parking or paid parking lot parking only, but the lots are free on weekends and you can park on the street for 2 hours for free. Review #39 (2025)

A general observation, not specific to Bridgehead: corporations are, in my opinion, ruining the once lovely experience of going out for a delicious coffee

I will purchase Starbucks if its my last resort as a treat, but I find their baked goods/food uninspiring and overpriced. I also do not enjoy their coffee, and don't even get me started on their refreshers, its basically full of ice. ANYWAYS, this is not a Starbucks review. Equator was a breath of fresh air. The interior was clean and bright, with the most amazing, cheerful staff. They carry Suzy Q donuts which we did order (oreo and blueberry fritter, both amazing) and the hubs grabbed a flat white. The drink menu is on the smaller side, which I like. Too many options confuse me. I like things to be simple. They also have some prepared foods like sandwiches, and some bowls. I did notice a chickpea salad bowl, which I will have to try next time. Only downside, is this place is so popular that with the many tables around, there was no seating. I stood eating my donut, until we luckily had a table open up a couple bites in. I would love if they added some bar stools around the barista station. There are some outdoor tables, but it was a chilly day. I CANNOT wait for Equator to open at the Indigo on Ogilvie.

All this to say that the Equator coffee shop is big and bright, more spacious with more seating than the previous one. For instance, the dividing retractable door is gone.

I used to be a regular in the previous place; then I moved away! So, I'll be back when I can.
