This coffee shop might not be big on holiday flavours, but every year, they release their holiday coffee blend and partner up with The Red Door Family Shelter to help families, refugees, and women in need. This year’s blend includes beans from Costa Rica, Guatemala and Ethiopia that have a profile flavour of peach, hazelnut, and silky.
Hale Coffee Company
This local coffee shop serves all the holiday classics such as peppermint mocha, hot chocolate, and gingerbread latte. However, the star of the holiday season from this café is probably their holiday gift set like the pour-over kit.
