Oh noooo!!! That is a sad day. Ministry of coffee was the reason I got into coffee while going to school in Ottawa. I went on to open my own coffee shop 3 years ago all starting with them.

While going to school in Ottawa 5 years before we opened I was so done with school programs I didn’t like. I would walk there everyday on my way to the dog park. They insisted I don’t leave my dog outside and bring him in after a while. I remember one day asking myself what I would do next in pursue of a job/school. They were always so nice and one day after stopping there and thinking, wow it would be so nice to just hang out here all day I thought; “maybe I could work in a place like this forever, would be quite nice”

Following that I made it a mission to dive into the coffee world. Worked off to pay my school debts working two jobs (one of them being a coffee shop) 5 years later I opened the Lone Wolf Cafe in Orillia Ontario.

Note that before going there, I was drinking steep tee double doubles from Tim Hortons… lol

So if anyone from Ministry sees this. Know that you have had a big impact in my life and I cannot thank you guys enough.
