I like to start my morning off with a large skim milk latte or should I say "non-fat grande latte" or was that a "skinny" latte. What I'm trying to say is I need a latte in the morning and our neighbourhood is an excellent place to get one. On Wellington, we have the locally run fairly traded/organic cafe Bridgehead http://www.bridgehead.ca/ and further down on Richmond we have two more Bridgeheads and the famous Starbucks http://www.starbucks.ca/. I hate to say this I do love the lattes at Starbucks, however I prefer the atmosphere of Bridgehead and what they stand for.
Surprising to some, there are a few other places in the neighbourhood that serve lattes and are quite good. If you want to avoid the strollers, housewives, Starbucks lingo and wifi surfers, try some of these places for a latte: Ottawa Bagelshop http://www.bagelshop.ca/, Nicastro's on Wellington and Truffle Treasures http://www.truffletreasures.com/. You may not get fast service like in a traditional cafe but it is worth experimenting and trying a different coffee bean. The Ottawa Bagelshop usually serves their lattes with a cookie, Nicastro's serves Italian style lattes and the great thing about Truffle Treasures, you can pair your latte with one of their mouthwatering truffles - yum ... chocolate and coffee.
Do you know of any other places in the neighbourhood that serve lattes?
Who serves the best latte?
