We’re proud of our city!

Centro House is an everyday classic with loads of caramel and cocoa flavour.

Darn Tasty and Dark ‘n’ Tasty

Dark’n Tasty is the dark side of decaf with loads of smoky flavour and ample body. Both are naturally water-processed for caffeine-free delight.

Your log driver espresso is good, but I still prefer southern harvest and knowing where the blend comes from. I am not a fan of the packaging – the bag is not sealed, nor as air tight as previous bags. The branding with ottawa, confuses me.
