Ashanti Coffee Cafe - Thornbury

Dropped in after some cheese tasting, ordered double espresso, tea fog, pumpkin spice latte and butternut square soup.

Came in on a busy Sunday afternoonService was quite slow, not sure if they need more staff or just efficiency.

We stock up on coffee here before heading back to western Canada. The beans are great. Snacks and sweets are worth a special trip. We went to Collingwood the other day and had lunch at their shop there. Fantastic offerings on bread, wraps, and cebatta bread.

Okay place for a coffee and a sweet. Service tends to be slow as the staff know the town regulars so there is a lot of chit chat during service. Not a place to rush in and out of. Seating area is crowded and tables are often dirty, not wiped. I've seen a dog in the kitchen a few times. Not sure how this is allowed from a public health perspective. Coffee is good. Sweets are good. I prefer the Collingwood store.

The coffee is roasted locally from beans grown and shipped from their own estate in East Africa. This is a great place to stop for a morning coffee or for a light lunch.
