Drinking coffee, like yelling at the cat, thinking about motorcycles, and setting fire to the neighbour's wicker man, is vital to starting each day. Inaugurate the a.m. with today’s Groupon to Smiling Goat Organic Espresso Bar, located on South Park Street. Smiling Goat sources a cornucopia of premium, beans—including single-origin, direct-trade, fair-trade, bird-friendly, and shade-grown varieties—and brews each cup of coffee individually on the café’s Clover machine for rich, top-of-the-line taste. Try one of Smiling Goat’s signature espressos, such as the Fog City Blend, a velvety, smoky alertness potion that uses fair-trade organic beans from Halifax’s Java Blend Coffee Roasters. The café’s menu of comestibles includes bagels from Great Canadian Bagels, chocolate-covered coffee beans, and an assortment of delectable baked goods.
