An awesome spot for coffee and ice cream. A number of Kawartha Dairy flavours available. Pricing is reasonable and scoops are large! No outdoor seating.

Specialty coffee, breakfast sandwiches, lunch (my wrap was really good) and most importantly…. HAND SCOOPED ICE CREAM!!!! Over heard some people in line wishing there was better signage out front to let people know it’s there and a menu board that is much easier to read. (It was really busy when I came by) great service and the people working were overly helpful. Such a welcomed addition to the town.

Stopped into Apsley while visiting the cottage. Have been many times but never thought to come into town for coffee! We were elated to find out there was a cafe in town. It was lovely a charming selection of local goods, fresh baked items and Kawartha ice cream. Super reasonably priced as well. I got a huge iced coffee for like under $5 and overall it was one of the best ice coffees I have ever had. My partner got an iced americano and he too thought it was great! The staff were so sweet and friendly. I was having a poor mental health day and the coffee and wonderful service really cheered me up! If you are in Apsley, do stop by and have an espresso based drink here. You will love it!

Excellent little coffee shop! Coffee was 10/10 (and I love I great coffee!) and the sandwiches were delicious. My son said the ham and cheddar was the best sandwich he's ever had. It was a busy Saturday afternoon and the two girls behind the counter worked fabulous under pressure and remained kind and smiley! Great little spot to stop! Also very reasonably priced.
