Delicious coffee, friendly staff.
Best coffee and chocolate around
Brilliant coffeeshop and roasters. Fair trade & organic coffee & good baked goods and sandwiches. No fast food or industrial feel like the one across the road with the red sign.
Great place for a rest between minor hockey games. Great coffee and delicious breakfast wraps
Had the chance to pop in here today to grab some drinks and snacks for the fam. Grabbed some beans, too. Real nice spot. Kudos.
Stopped in for a package of coffee. It's a beautiful location with lots of places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
I took a long, leisurely drive to Almonte this morning. I live an hour East of there. I'm a total coffee snob, had heard great things and wanted to sample and hopefully buy some of their products. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm WELL WORTH THE DRIVE !!!
Good food slow service but polite service
Equator is my go-to place for fresh roasted coffee for use at home. The coffee shop has quickly become a a favourite place to meet friends and colleagues. The staff are particularly bright and cheerful and the espresso coffees are wonderfull. They have a great selection of both sweet and savoury treats including excellent gluten-free options.
First of all, the coffee is the best in Eastern Ontario. The new cafe is beautiful and a great place to chill over a fresh cup of coffee (or tea, if that's your thing).
Awesome coffee, great staff and tons of cool merch. Always interesting art on the walls aswell, worth the trip!
Spacious yet cozy environment. Ordered the flat white and cappuccino which were as expected. Butter tart was delicious. Great spot.
Great coffee as usual, love this place!
Great coffee, friendly staff, warm atmosphere. Always recommended, make sure to try the gooey bars!
Good selection of fair-traded coffee. The staff was friendly and the location inviting and cozy.
Great coffee. Friendly staff. Nice facility.
Awesome place
The best coffee I’ve ever tasted! Staff are super awesome and friendly. Fast service and a really clean and well designed facility. Stop in, you won’t be disappointed!
Location: In Almonte, which is about a 45-minute drive from the Ottawa core. Ample parking available (free). The place: It's quite big and there is ample seating indoors. They also have a patio set up. Since there was no room on the patio (and you couldn't sit down inside), we took our coffee to go. The goods: I ordered a Mocha and my friend had the latté. Both were delicious. From what I'm told, these guys have some of the best coffee around so I'll definitely have to come back and do another taste test. Service: Good. Price point: The two lattés were about $10 with tax.
Love, love, love the coffee here! I recommend the latte. The snacks are locally made and there are sooo many to choose from. Gluten free options here too. Definitely worth your time to check it out. I believe it won an award for they coffee beans.
This is our destination for the rides from Ottawa. Great place, perfect selection of quality coffee and treats.
A great place, very lovely and super friendly
Very friendly staff and delicious Coffee and Treats!
Great coffee, knowledgeable staff. Love going here when I'm in town.
I always enjoy the kale caesar salad when I come into town. Please please though, go back to mixing the salad ingredients prior to putting in the carton takeout box; not only is it messy and complicated mixing the salad dressing in the vehicle, having a plastic container defeats the purpose of using recyclable cardboard takeout containers! Also, if cash is not being accepted from customers due to covid safety reasons, (understandibly so) then cash ought not be accepted for the tip jar located outside with all the bills in it. Just adding my two cents on the subject.
Delicious macchiato ???? and such a lovely space. Fantastic experience.
Friendly service
Hannah makes the best cinnamon buns.
Great coffee
Like the location in ottawa. This coffee shop has a great vibe with great food and coffee.
Very good even reinbursed for a badtea last week
Fantastic coffee
Good cause good coffee but needs a drive through system !
Nicely renovated, pleasant staff.
Best latte in Almonte!!! Warm welcome and friendly staff! Love this place!
This place has a fantastic latte and a great laid back atmosphere. You just can't go wing with this place.
On point. Our second coffee tour stop and we had just a regular filtered medium roast of the day. We've had their coffee before, but this is our first visit to their HQ. We will definitely be back for coffee school! My only suggestion - I couldn't find an events calendar on your website for the courses. We found them eventually on the front page though. If you love coffee, they have all the entry level equipment you need, and some awesome merch. I think my favourite was the Ottawa hearts coffee T. The coffee was smooth, the place was clean and well decorated with a good mix of indoor seating types to fit your mood, and outdoor seats. It hit more of our favourite day-day drinking tasting notes. These guys have a real connection to their coffee sources and they know their stuff!
Always a great experience. Lovely staff.
Great staff, nice selection, I couldn't find the sugar and ruined my coffee... But my wife didn't and loved it!
Great coffee!
Good coffee, nice ambience
Best coffee house in the Valley
Nice atmosphere, good food, and friendly staff.
Really good sandwich and coffee, great atmosphere. We came for lunch and I would definitely go back.
Friendly staff, clean, modern & comfortable furniture and decor, and the coffee was phenomenal! 10/10 will return and recommend.
I’ve been here a few times and each time, it takes a little longer than expected to go through drive thru (even with only one or two cars in front of us). Coffee has been decent but not amazing the last couple times (the Westboro one is 10/10 every time). Plenty of patio space which is lovely!
Locally roasted and ethically sourced. Wonderful place with wonderful people. Just wish there were more breakfast food options on the weekend, but the treats are always tasty.
Really good coffee, really good food, free Wi-Fi, good comfy chairs. No complaints. They feature free-trade coffee and is sold in their cafe in downtown Ottawa and independently through merchants around the Ottawa valley.
Excellent service, amazing coffee and really fresh food!
Great atmosphere!
You need to try the fresh croissants!
Mixed feelings. The coffee is tasty, but the service is ungodly slow. Dont get me wrong, i understand quality takes time but, after being to maybe 20-30 third wave coffee shops around the GTA, Ottawa, Montreal there really isn't an excuse for being that slow. One employee seemed to only be in charge of the grinder and espresso extraction, another only steaming milk. We should be looking at 4-5sec grindtime on the Peak, maybe 5 sec tamp, 30sec extraction, and then a quick wash, knock out the puck. Milk is max 30sec steam on a lamarzocco machine. So.. Its hard to understand why we had to wait 10mins (this is not an overestimate) for two small lattes. We had three drinks ahead of us. Oh well, maybe in a year when i come back they will have their workflow ready. Either way, coffee is tasty but slow.
Great staff friendly atmosphere and best of all a great cup of coffee
Equator is a fantastic place to get a coffee. Starting with its ethically sourced Fair Trade Organic beans is great. Feeding back to the communities that provide is great. The service and the quality of the products are amazing. The people are so friendly.
Excellent little coffee shop. Good selection, good prices. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Great stop for an afternoon coffee and treat.
Excellent coffee friendly staff a good place to relax and take a moment to enjoy life.
One of the best coffees I've had in a very long time. I wouldn't say that I'm a connaisseur, but the coffee was really smooth. I'll try it again for sure.
Grrrreat. Yum
Good coffee and delicious pizza? Ok. Nice spacious location with high tables, booths and couches. Great food and drinks and doesn’t hurt that they’re next to Crooked Mile if you want to check out a brewery.
Really great coffee! Worth the drive out from Ottawa just for your morning cup!
Enjoyed a fantastic maple latte and breakfast wrap. Staff are also very friendly.
Great coffe
Newly expanded. Nice atmosphere and decent java!
Great coffee, tea and treats!
Great coffee. Food is good too but the coffee of course stands out, along with their always friendly staff :)
Excellent coffee, some of the best you'll have in the Ottawa area. The only downside is the quality/consistency of the food and pastries do not match the quality/consistency of the coffee. Excellent and knowledgeable service. A must visit café in Almonte, a destination to be sure for all coffee lovers.
Company doesn't accept cash because it's supposedly too dangerous due to covid.
Amazing coffee, can't say enough about this place!
Even with the restrictions because of COVID19, Equator serves up a delicious cup of coffee and a great patio experience :)
Delicious, fresh coffee. Great service and staff. A wonderful experience every time I visit.
Always the best espresso.
Such a beautiful quarantine spot for a drive through drink that hits the spot! We drove all the way from ottawa for a oat milk london fog (or just a earl grey late with no vanilla) was all we wanted. The guy who served us was so nice; 100% deserves the 5 stars!
Enjoyed the anniversary party, food and the coffee.
Have always loved everything about Equator! However now I have MORE to love, amazing reno-expansion!!
Great coffee, efficient staff, good food andfun local products to buy.
Freakin' Good coffee is right! They serve the best coffee around and the service has always been good.
I literally drive almost an hour to get a cup of coffee - the best coffee in my opinion! Visiting here is my favorite part of my day off. Beautiful place, great products and fine staff. Highly recommended!!
This place is awesome. Great atmosphere, great coffee, and very good food.
Spacious and pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Their latte was one of the best I've had in Ottawa area.
Pretty good spot.
5 star coffee and local favorite
Amazing coffee from the source in Almonte! Cool decor and lots of space for sitting. Staff was super friendly and directed us to other attractions in Almonte.Tons if parking.
Equator serves my favourite coffee. Nothing tops "Freakin Good". It's just perfect. Staff is always friendly and make great recommendations when you're just not sure what to get. The addition of the delivery window is great when you're on to go.
Great selection and friendly staff
My favorite coffee in the Ottawa area. I cannot believe this is from Almonte Ontario.
Great coffee
Great coffee
Friendly servers, great tasting coffee and snacks!
The best espresso I know.
Every time I go here, I order the same sandwich which is the chicken club. OMG it is so delicious!!! The perfect balance of ingredients and it truly is a gourmet sandwich! Such a great treat!!!
Best Coffee shop in Almonte, amazing coffer and wonderful staff !
Very good sandwiches. The space is nice.
Delicious pizza and coffee that supports a cause! I need nothing more!
Very good coffee, attentive staff, comfy location. The beans this company sells are available all over the Ottawa Valley, but getting them here is one of your best options.
Amazing informative staff and a diverse offer of coffee.
Maple latte is amazing
A fantastic spot for coffee and business meetings!
My new favourite coffee roasters. Reasonable price for the beans with a decent variety to choice from. The shop itself is open and airy with a modern vibe.
Great place. The coffee shop itself is nice, and we order their coffee to my office every 2 weeks in bulk and absolutely love it.
5 star place. Love the expansion. Caring staff and warm comfy seating. Top spot to visit every time I'm home.
People seem very friendly. I only had cash and they don’t accept cash during COVID. I only had cash on me for my coffee and a decent tip. I said I did not need any change and they still refused. The young girl working was very polite and said take the coffe anyway. I said thanks but that’s fine. The reason is they refuse to our cash but they have a jar to receive tips in “cash”. So they do accept cash.
Fabulous coffee locally roasted.
Gets a star for the exceptional coffee. Loses four stars because every ten feet there is either a sign explaining tipping ...the tipping process....and a tipping jar. I tip because it is appropriate...it is highly offensive to be solicited while I visit....for tips. Here is a tip for you.... Pay your employees more......please.
Delicious coffee and yummy muffins. Dark roast is dark and fresh tasting. A real treat.
the coffee is good, the wifi is free. you will however hear cackling middle aged white people even over your headphones, this seems like a regressive safe space for them to act like teens. and all their kids are young sheldon. Gang Gang.
Always a good cup of joe. The drive thru isn't the fastest in the industry, but the service is good and employees are friendly!
great coffee. Friendly staff. Best fresh roasted beans in Lanark County
Lots of space, good food, and excellent coffee.
Great coffee will definitely be back
This place is awesome. I am an addict for the good coffee, and their coffee is 'Freakin' Good', really. That was by the way an actual name of one of the been roasts. ))
The best coffee in Eastern Ontario, with charming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a newly-renovated facility. Wish it was closer to where we live so I could go there every day!
Their service was extraordinary and the food was wonderful.
Always nice here
I went to the Almonte location for the first time for a coffee brewing course. This was a nice way to learn about three great ways of making coffee at home.. French press, Aeropress, and Chemex. The class started with a tour of the roasterie and explanation of the process. Very cool. Johnny was a great instructor and clearly explained fundamentals such as roasts grinds and coffee to water ratios. Highly recommended.
The Good: we ordered 5 cups, an Americano, a Piccolo, a Latte, flat white and a drip. Really good coffee. Drove 30 mins outside town this morning just for it and they are worth it. The bad: there is not much in this category. The ambience is great, the barista was Uber friendly and helpful. The ugly: absolutely nothing. I would definitely recommend. Of all the coffee I have had in my life, Is this a place that I would be jonesing for some really good coffee? No. Is this better than most places in Ottawa or the area. Yes. Keep it up guys, you are doing great.
Great coffee and super friendly staff!
Wonderful family owned roaster and Cafe. Recently renovate -- looks great.
They have been roasting beans for 20 years and serving up the most delicious brews. Always a delight.
Love this coffee roaster in Almonte. Their recent renovations are beautiful. They really have beautiful tasting coffee and are a great source for coffee makers and supplies. There baked goods are delicious as well. If Almonte is too out of the way, there cafe in Westboro, Ottawa is also excellent! ????
Love this place! The coffee is freshly roasted - you can usually find coffee that’s roasted just a few days ago. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Great flat whites and of course amazing beans to bring home!
Super coffee shop.Great for small meetings.Thanks
Great coffee nice staff fun place to go and hang out
Feels very spacious here. Some tables have access to power so great space to get some work done while enjoying a drink.
great coffee!
Great place.
Great coffee and friendly staff
Good, good, good! Great coffee and the lunch there is always a small twist on a well known meal with great taste.
Great coffee!! Really nice atmosphere
Amazing lattes
They have great coffee, espresso etc. They have friendly staff and they really love what they do. I highly recommend checking out their roasting operation, it's really interesting to see where "the magic happens".
Friendly
Coffee is fantastic. Great environment and food.
Amazing coffee, locally roasted. Great place for a coffee date with friends or clients. ☕
Great coffee, slow service.
The cofe is good
Best coffee ever!!! Staff is awesome!!
Decent vegan desserts and the coffee is great. My bike pals dig the sandwiches, I prefer stuffing my face with sugar after a hard day of cycling.
Great coffee house..perfect cup of joe everytime!
Great coffee, atmosphere and staff. You feel loved every time you are in there !
Great coffee and delicious food, especially the sandwiches! I would say the best coffee in the area.
Good coffee, great vegan treats (date square is the best). Conveniently placed halfway through a long bike ride from Ottawa.
Awesome place. Good food, best coffee, amazing staff
Always a great place. Great coffee, great atmosphere.
Very good coffe, roasted on-site, so you know it's fresh and tasty.
Nice clean bright location, well trained staff and a yummy matcha latte.
Coffee and service with a smile
Good coffee! Just went there for the first time and will definitely make it a habit. Staff were super friendly.
had the Skillet breakfast this morning. very good.
Good food and good service. Always worth a stop when you have a chance.
Friendly staff
Have been here many times. The service and the coffee have always been excellent.
Nice surprise to find this funky coffee shop in Almonte!
Great coffee
Atmosphere and service are excellent!
First time there. The coffee and dessert were great.
Ordered eggs benny. The poached eggs were overdone and the potatoes were clearly burnt. The soap in the bathroom was the consistency of water and sprayed me all over my shirt when I went to use it. The hand dryer wasnt working. Overall a disappointing experience
Fast, friendly...great Lattes and HFT donuts!
Very long time getting our food, never got our second pizza, bland tasting dressing on kale salad, pizza oven not cleaned in while, first pizza had charred leftovers underneath. Got partial refund, good coffee, nice staff.
My husband and I recently went to this coffee shop for the first time but were quite disappointed. We ordered two falafel wraps and a coffee, which came to $34 (including tip). The wraps were very dry, as they did not have any sauce on them at all (usually when I get a falafel wrap it has tzatziki or some other sauce included). On the side were some regular potato chips, which didn't help with the overall dryness of the meal. In addition, my husband ordered a coffee with milk and sugar but the sugar was missing. Overall, we think that $34 for two wraps and a coffee is expensive, especially since it wasn't all that good.
Helpfull and knowlegable about products
Great coffe, great staff.
Great coffee and food. Knowledgeable staff. Nice shop!
Great coffer roasted in Almonte
Great coffee and atmosphere. Staff is awesome!
Very cozy place for family brunch or friends gathering on weekends. We had skillet breakfast and egg Sammy, very delicious taste! Staff are friendly and helpful too. Parking spots are many and big, only thing is the turning from the road into the plaza is tricky, we had to turn left from march road right after a traffic light.
Great experience, service and food.
wish this was more central Almonte, in the "downtown" region coffee is okay, atmosphere is great!
Good staff good selection and good prices.
Staff amazing, coffee amazing, supportive to local events, music, artists, community even more amazing. Food honestly kinda hit and miss as they change it up tea briskets are always really good and the cinnamon rolls used to be my top recommended ones of any but they have changed too (although to be fair I hadn't tried the new ones yet, they may be even better lol)
Great coffee, food and wonderful service :) highly recommend!
Excellent coffee and if you prefer beer there's a brew pub steps away!
Great atmosphere
Great coffee.
A casual fair trade coffee house that you can sign up to go on a tour of the back to see how they roast their coffee beans. I've gone several times and each time the dark coffee or coffee drinks are outstanding.
Love this place. Great staff and some of the best coffee around.
Friendly service, delicious muffins
I come for the scones every time! They’re just amazing. A perfect combination of buttery and not too crumbly. I’ve tried the double chocolate, goat cheese and pepper, chive, raspberry and white chocolate! Each have been such a delicious morning treat! Can’t wait to see what new flavours they have to add!
Great coffee and friendly staff.
Worst Espresso ever too acidic and lacked body The place is interesting and even the outdoor seating was nice, but this bad coffee ruined it
Love. Love. Love. Best cappuccino in town and I am obsessed with The Cubano for lunch. I only just realized that the drive thru is open earlier in the morning which makes me happy for my commute to Ottawa for work. I wish the hours were a bit earlier and a bit later to accommodate everyone that lives in Almonte, but travels to the city for work.
Cute and kind and great coffee faster tha. Starbucks
Great ambience
It sucks, bug time, don't bother!!
Great coffee
New place looks great and coffee always delish. Friendly staff and IPA on tap. Who could wish for more.
Great coffee, nice baked goods. The smell of them roasting will definately make you want to stop in!
A premium experience at this in house roast coffee shop. They have lots of other surprises inside and it's a one stop shop for custom blends both ready made as well as available in grinds or beans.
Wonderful atmosphere, great coffee. Going back soon.
Went mountain biking in the area and was hungry afterwards so I went to Tim Hortons not that far from Equator Coffee Roasters. While I was in the drive through at Tim’s I asked myself what the hell am I doing, I should be supporting a local restaurant so I googled the internet and I found Equator Coffee Roasters. The Cuban sandwich I had was as really good. It reminded me of the Cuban sandwich I had on a vacation in Florida.
First time going here and it was amazing. Such a nice atmosphere and I love how they sell art. The guy working was sooooo kind. I got a trail mix muffin and I think it's the best muffin I've ever had.
Coffee and service was great
Came here because they sent out an email to those subscribed to their mailing list with a promo code for a free bag of coffee which is so generous. I do wish that their online store offered pickup at the Ottawa locations rather than the one in Almonte, but for free coffee I was willing to make the trip.
the greatest espresso brownie i have ever consumed
The entrance has no automatically-opening door for the handicapped!!! And the doors are heavy. I and others have repeatedly pointed this out to staff. No action is being taken. EQUATOR COFFEE ROASTERS IN ALMONTE IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE HANDICAPPED AND THE ELDERLY.
Locally roasted delicious coffee, great place to hang out.
Wow! What a great place. We like to buy fair trade and Equator has a variety of coffees, as well as loose tea. And we did a tour of how they roast their coffee and that was great too. We will be back!
This is a great all around cafe. I say all around because they roast their own beans, have great in house coffee and other beverages, have a tasty selection of treats (e.g. date squares) and even have some good meal options. They even have unique tea and coffee making equipment for sale like mugs, filters, grinders etc. And let's not forget that they will show case local artist. I appreciate the fact that they use Organic Fair trade coffee beans and roast it locally. In fact, after my own exhaustive search, Equator's beans are now a staple among my own at home brewing. The staff have all been really helpful and pleasant. Lastly, it is a really nice and inviting space to sit, chat and enjoy your favorite beverage. I highly recommend checking Equator out.
Awesome coffee and service every time and a very friendly atmosphere
Definitely recommended. Courteous staff and fantastic coffee completes the picture.
Best hot chocolate ever...since renovation it has a cozy inviting atmosphere.
Awesome atmosphere, friendly service, great food and beverages
Amazing atmosphere, great food, priced similarly to Starbucks but with better quality coffee
I drive 30min out of my way for their flat white. The food is great too.
Very nice young gentleman handed us our order via paddle :)
Great cup of coffee. Stopped here on the way to my parents place (we were tired of Tim's), and glad we did! Pleasant staff, not too busy when we were there, but I could see early mornings being busy. Two Americanos, very rich and smooth. Just what we needed. We liked it so much, we stopped again and even had a small bite to eat. You will not get a full meal here, but perfect for a small breakfast, or quick bite. If you're staying in, they will bring it to your table. Quaint sitting, and a fireplace, which would be more than welcome on a cold winter morning. They also hold brewing courses, in case you are interested. An on premises bean roaster smelled great, and is where they 'finish' their beans before grinding. Nice environment, clean and spacious. The bathrooms were clean, with some stories of where they gather their beans. Always nice to know the back story. Overall, very happy with Java here, recommend you stop in. Cheers, Jay
Great initiative to expand the sidewalk with a tent, adding patio space to eat outdoors. Even better, adding the drive thru window! Smart response to current conditions!
Nice and cozy place to grab coffee or tea! Really good ambiance and service!!!
Exquisite double espresso and fluffy croissants ????. Wonderful choice of teas. ????
Best staff. Awesome coffee and amazing building! Worth the drive if you aren't in the Almont area.
Amazing chai latte
Very good standard of coffee and produce, but service can be poor. Had to wait over 10mins for 2 coffees because staff were too busy chatting trivially to customers instead of serving / making coffee. Very frustrating and disappointing as the produce is worthy of praise.
Cinnamon buns are to die for!!
Great coffee and great atmosphere.
3????
Great coffee, friendly people
Excellent coffee, great baked goods.
They gave me an outstanding nitro iced coffee for a reasonable price all things considered. If I were a regular, I would ask for less ice, but they are fair with this. I got about a third of a cup of ice. The service is very friendly, and we got through very fast. They do sell out of food pretty quickly though.
Best Coffee in the Valley I typically get a French Press and a cookie. My Mother-in-law demands we bring back a half dozen scones whenever we visit Almonte. I bring back a pound of Yeti.
Wonderful coffee and friendly staff!
Good place to go fa-caffe
great food and cozy atmosphere
Excellent coffee, friendly staff
Best cappuccino and great gluten free food!
