I am really pleased to review the Olive & Kiwi Fine Foods on the Hamilton Mountain. They are a lovely little grocery and restaurant that houses the mountain location of My Dog Joe. I hadn't really seriously thought about reviewing this storefront because I have reviewed the Westdale location, and Mulberry (same ownership) but I this is very unique because of its wonderful location and view. This MDJ has the same baked goods, and wonderful coffee that caters to conscientious people that love fresh baked goods, fresh made coffee that is ethically grown but it's ON THE MOUNTAIN!!! I am so happy that MDJ made this decision to have something for us up here. I drove down Upper Paradise to the brow, right across from the parking lot for the Chedoke Stairs and boom!

I hope all you coffee lovers look them up for take out or eat in! Enjoy!

If you're interested in the coffee growers of cafe Fem, look up the link from C.J.'s a couple weeks ago. This coffee is locally roasted by Steve from Speak Easy Roastery and sourced from the farmers in Peru in support of the local women financially. It feels good to buy, and tastes great to drink. The beans are available for $14 in a mason jar plus $1 deposit if you bring the jar back.
