Ethiopian, Bohemian and Guatemalan blends from Happy Goat, a small-batch roastery in Hintonburg about two kilometres away. Direct-trade, organic, and often still warm from the roaster when ground.

Four French trades under one roof, two blocks south of Parliament Hill: a coffee bar pouring locally roasted beans, a small bistro, a bread counter with more than fifteen loaves a day and a pastry case built around macarons and cakes.
The story of the café
Ethiopian, Bohemian and Guatemalan blends from Happy Goat, a small-batch roastery in Hintonburg about two kilometres away. Direct-trade, organic, and often still warm from the roaster when ground.
Coffee & tea →In the Parisian sense: a small room, simple meals, fair prices. Big bright windows on a busy corner, tables for a lunch with friends, and room for anyone who would rather eat alone with a book.
More →
French-style bread baked every day: baguettes and over fifteen kinds of loaves, some made to order, for breakfast toast, lunchtime sandwiches and the dinner table.
More →Macarons, cakes and small sweets balanced between sugar, salt and texture, made with simple, local and organic ingredients wherever possible.
More →The café sits on the northwest corner of Metcalfe Street and Queen Street, across from the World Exchange Plaza, about a three-minute walk from Parliament Hill. The KD café is a downtown sibling of the Le Moulin de Provence bakery in the ByWard Market.
