Hello Beautiful People,

Last Thursday I met up with a friend for after-work drinks, which is a fancy way of saying we went out for coffee. We decided to venture outside the typical Starbucks or Bridgehead crawl and decided to check out some place new. We ended up at Ottawa’s new coffee house and lounge – Origin Trade. Part coffee-shop part wine bar, Origin Trade really hit the nail on the head in terms of artsy and contemporary decor. They offer a full range of drinks and a decent sized bistro menu. It was still too cold last Thursday, but I am eager to go back when their cute patio is in full swing!

Happy Spring-
