St. Catharines, Ontario
When checking out places to go for a coffee in St. Catharines you don't have to go far on James or St.Paul street to find a cafe or bistro with alluring signage and seating (some have added a patio on the street...very unique). Neil and I chose by default a lovely little place called Fine Grind, the write up online steered us in the right direction and we were so happy. Our greeter/owner was a smiley guy (didn't catch his name) that answered all my questions and spent time explaining about Jim the coffee guy that is his source locally for fair trade/organic beans based out of Niagara Falls. Neil and I both ordered the *gasp* bottomless cup and a cookie. I asked about vegan treats and foods and he provides both due to demand. How wonderful is that?
We took our seat at the back of the store on the couch (dopple ganger of our own) and our drinks were brought to us as we proceed to add the wifi password to our various devices! All around us are odd bits of art work, paintings and carvings to keep you interested and a book shelf of reading material !
We drank our coffee, ate our cookies and complemented the baristas, there may have also been a rousing fist-bump for a coffee shop well found! Thanks Fine Grind Cafe!
