You don't need a car for a good cup of coffee here — Corydon Avenue has a small but solid coffee scene, and everything below is a short walk from the Airbnb. Here's where to go depending on what you're after.

The local roaster

Thom Bargen Coffee Roasters (743 Corydon Ave) is the neighbourhood's dedicated specialty coffee spot, roasting its own beans and running a proper espresso bar. If you want something closer to a destination coffee shop than a quick stop, start here.

Bakery cafes with real coffee programs

Forgotten Flavours (858 Corydon Ave), the wild-yeast artisan bakery, brews its own coffee in-house from organic Ethiopian beans, with drip, iced, and espresso-based options — worth pairing with one of their sourdough pastries. A block over, Sugar + Salt Bakeshoppe (897 Corydon Ave) is a cake-and-baked-goods shop that also pours a well-regarded coffee, a good stop if you're already there for something sweet.

If you just need a reliable cup

For a familiar, no-fuss option, there's a Starbucks at 946 Corydon Ave and a Tim Horton's at 949 Corydon Ave, right across from each other near the Cambridge Street end of the strip.

From the Airbnb: All of these are on Corydon Avenue itself, within about a 10-minute walk. Hours can shift with the day of the week and season, so it's worth a quick check of a shop's own site or Google listing before you head out, especially early morning or on a holiday.
