The Indie Coffee Passport
Coffee drinkers, rejoice! Independent coffee shops, unite! The Indie Coffee Passport is back for a second year. What better way to get your caffeine fix and experience Toronto’s independent coffee scene!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the passport, here’s a breakdown. Buy an indie coffee passport for $25. Visit any of the 30 participating coffee shops between September 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. Enjoy one free espresso-based beverage/coffee/tea (up to $4 menu price) of your choice at each coffee shop.
Our plan is to visit each participating coffee shop, get to know the beans, the espresso machines, and the baristas, and then blog about it. Who knows where our caffeine fuelled journey will take us! And please, don’t be shy, share your coffee passport experience with us in the comments section.
