Sip Independent: Good Coffee Makes Everything Better
We find ourselves relying on the convenience of the drive-thru for our daily wake-up beverage. Have you noticed how long and slow moving these lineups are nowadays? Not to mention that idling your vehicle in a drive-through wastes gasoline and causes air pollution that is otherwise avoidable.

Good Grief Coffee
Good Grief is both a stylish cafe on Thornbury’s main street and a wholesale coffee roaster and supplier. Custom roasts include Kenya Muranga, an easy-drinking bright bean with plum and caramel notes, and Ethiopian Bedhatu Jibicho, sourced from a female-run farm and bursting with rich notes of blueberry. Good Grief also makes all pastries in-house.

The Creemore Coffee Company
There’s no better way to guarantee freshness than to buy your coffee direct from a small-batch, dedicated local roaster. The Creemore Coffee Company offers shade-grown beans, which mature slowly resulting in less bitterness. There’s no cafe/retail location at present but their thriving online store offers a big selection of single-origin organic beans including Sumatran (Indonesian), Cloud Forest (Latin American) and Canadian Maple.
