I wasn't sure if was going to review outside of the Hamilton area, but I was really excited to go to a new coffee shop in Ottawa and was eager to share the shop I did find :). I have to admit other than having the address and general idea of where I was in relation to our hotel, I really don't know where I was. My two sisters and I wandered around the the Byward Market after spending a couple hours skating on the Rideau canal and were all agreed to go into the Bluebird Coffee shop.
My first impression was excitement with the obvious coffee roaster in the corner, cool/hip music and wifi access offered at the cash register. The server was very open in answering my questions and quick to offer advice on coffee, lattes and other beverages. I really enjoyed the ambience, the assortment of beans to purchase that are labeled and roasted in house and the variety of sweeteners and whiteners to put in the fresh brew.
1) coffee- $2 for large 16 onze, $1.85 for small 8/10
2) Roasted locally - in house and by the country of origin 10/10
3) Service- 81/2 /10 Friendly, helpful
4) accessibility- ? Byward Market (is that accessible?)
5) Flavour- 9/10 fresh, bold and sweet
6) Eco-friendly- 10/10 composting, china cups, almond/soy no extra charge, locally roasted
7) Cup size- 9/10
8) food- n/a (made in house, biscotti looked really tasty but not tried)
9) Ambience- 9/10 Great music, fun people, could use more lounge type chairs
10) wifi- 10/10 Free, openly offered at cash :)
*fun atmosphere, downtown location and great music! Definitely a great spot to drink delicious, fresh roasted coffee on your own or in a group 'cause there's lots of room!
*overall 9/10 (I love the independent shops for quality and originality).
