This fast-paced, cash-only coffee shop is located right in the heart of the ByWard Market. It boast longer hours and has a patio, prime for people watching. Serving a variety of pastries and a fantastic assortment of coffees, this is a regular destination for coffee lovers in the downtown core.
Squirrelled away down quiet Clarendon Lane in historic ByWard Market, Planet Coffee has been attracting regulars for more than two decades. Perhaps it’s because the large windows brighten its subdued silver-gray decor. Perhaps it’s the sunny-day option of unhurried outdoor seating. Perhaps it’s because of the luscious lemon squares (the breakfast crowd opts for healthier nature bars). Perhaps it’s the homemade lemonade or soy maple latte served by friendly baristas. It’s the kind of place you can sit forever without a hint you should move on. The downside: they don’t take plastic.
