Coffee has been extolled as a super drink, loaded with the potassium, antioxidants, and caffeine necessary to kick start the day after an all-nighter of starring in low-budget horror films. Consume conveniently cupped life fuel with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of café fare and drinks at Cravings Coffee Market on Princess Avenue.

Cravings Coffee Market ecstatically brews 100 per cent premium Columbian and fair-trade coffee alongside a menu of espresso, tea, and light fare in a relaxing café setting. Breakfasters start the day with a coffee ($1.50+; $0.25 extra for fair trade) and a yogurt parfait ($3.25), or a toasted breakfast bagel enfolding a trio of fried egg, tomato, and choice of meat ($3.25). Caffeine adherents with time to spare opt for an espresso creation, such as a caffe latte ($3.10+) or mocha ($3.50+) to sip leisurely while contemplating the weather-controlling device they just engineered.

Meanwhile, latecomers can lunch on paninis ($6.75), grilled herb flatbreads ($3.95), wraps ($5.75), five freshly made salads ($4+), and two soups-of-the-day ($3).

Patrons can idle away the hours tuning into Cravings Coffee Market's big-screen TV, luxuriating on its patio, or connecting to wireless Internet access. On the other hand, 1-pound bags of beans let diners take the café home with them without the hassle of zoning violations ($10+).
