Origin Trade

Origin Trade has a great ambiance perfect for a quiet read and relaxing environment. As soon as you enter you can just smell that amazing aroma of fresh coffee. I ordered a vanilla latte and was thoroughly impressed with the flavour and wasn't too sweet just perfect temperature as well. Service was friendly and attentive to the cleanliness of the cafe.

Recently transformed cafe into a bar known as Bar Lucy. Amazing ambiance and cozy. Exceptional customer service and friendly servers. Great menu and crafted beers. I ordered linguine for bites and it was delicious! (The quantity was less, I felt). (Too bad that they removed couches) A great hangout place with friends/a date.

If you want good coffee, non painful music and perhaps beer afterwards, come to this place. You won't find another coffee shop that has good coffee +chai and drinks in one place. The service is great and the place is unusual and relaxing. If you want to concentrate on your work then don't forget earplugs.

I only visited recently as I have never noticed it despite living downtown and constantly walking to the Byward market. The space is pretty cool but poorly maintained and a bit dirty. The coffee ( I asked for a medium roast) and the choco croissant were good. I would suggest this place for a casual cozy meetup, or a study place :)
