How Downtown Kitchener Turned into a Coffee Lover’s Paradise
When: Saturday, May 4, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Where: Begin at Fresh Ground (256 King Street East), end at Show and Tell Coffee (30 Ontario Street North)
Walk Leader: Anna Beard
Indie coffee shops – they’re intimate spaces, designed for feet, flirtatious conversations, collaboration and idea generation. They’ve become pillars of education and design. And downtown Kitchener loves them.
We’ll take a wander along King Street between Eby and Ontario, pausing outside four fab java huts, sharing stories of how they came to be and swapping our own tales of how coffee is so much more than a drink.
