"Committed to sustainability, Merchants of Green Coffee is a beacon for ethical coffee practices. They import their beans green and process them using renewable energy. Their exclusive blend is called Cafe Solar®, and opt to sell their products at local farmer's markets. Merchants of Green has a ridiculous amount of programming - from workshops on the origins of coffee, to roasting and home brewing. They also offer cuppings to refine your palette and learn the distinctions between different single origin beans. They have a massive, full-service café with space for lounging, catching up with a pal, or settling in for an afternoon of work. They also sell home brew equipment, and offer a Fresh Coffee Network club. If that weren't enough, they also have a 3000 sqft loft space that they rent out for special events of the corporate meeting and wedding variety." - Medina Abdelkader

This is my favorite coffee shop around the city, perhaps the best ever. Friendly and knowledgeable staff; spacious, cozy chairs and couches; variety of single origin and blend coffee beans; variety of good music, not too loud, not repetitive. Good internet speed, excellent ĺave to do work or study.
If you hate air conditioning like me then this is your place to go, windows and garage door are open for ventilation the place rarely gets warm.
If there is a down side in this place it's their food selection which is quite limited, although everything is freshly baked in house.

I miss living walking distance to Merchant of Green! They have amazing lattes, and their scones - my goodness... one of my favourite atmospheres to be in as well. Great quaint yet open space to chat, draw, work... I love it.

Hidden place with a great collection of good coffee and very generous space with nice staff and highly recommended if you are coffee lover. The architecture and interior is also very nice and warm

Terrific vibe and great coffee. Finally, a quiet and chilled place where you can have a conversation without music blaring. Enjoyed my café au lait and apple and bacon scone.

Natural interior and comfy atmosphere. This cafe is on my list anytime. One of my regret is there hasn't ice coffee menu.

I had a cashew milk latte and cheese scone. The cheese scone was delicious! However when I got my latte, it was extremely hot, and when I sipped it, it tasted like burnt plastic. I think the cashew milk was steamed too hot and it was burned. Usually cashew milk has a creamy texture but the texture was watery as well. I couldn’t finish the latte at all, it actually tasted horrible :(

Okay!!! They selling the best hand drip coffee in Canada. I visited all big 10 city in Canada and lived in 3 Canadian major cities. Never able to find better hand drip coffee. (For me)
Never mind drive 30min to the coffee shop just for a cup of coffee. (Okay I buy beans too)
$3 coffee will make your day.
I didn't put any review last few years because I didn't want this coffee shop get too busy but feels like it's already popular.
