I met my mother in Kemptville for grocery shopping fun and a coffee date. Just off Hwy 416, past the two roundabouts on the way into Kemptville is Brewed Awakenings. This shop is in a little strip mall on your left as you're driving into town. Let me tell you, I'm so happy to have found a great place to stop for coffee halfway between Ottawa and Brockville, I drive I make often.
Mom and I both ordered Americanos with an extra shot. They only put one shot in a medium sized cup, and I always need something a little stronger than that. The coffee was great! They roast their own beans and it's nice and fresh. The staff were nice a friendly!
Also tempting are all the treats displayed in the case. I'm not having sugar right now, but wish I was so I could have one of their Nanaimo bars.
The only thing I would change about this place is their lack of Splenda. I only use Splenda or Stevia in my coffee these days, or nothing at all. I was fine with just cream and cinnamon this time, but was really craving something sweet.
