What better name for a coffee shop? The Ministry of Coffee is clean, bright and cozy, perfect for zoning out and getting some work done. Their coffee is some of the best in the city, and whether you prefer a straightforward cup of drip coffee or a fancy Nutella latte, you won’t be disappointed. They also serve pastries, soups and sandwiches, all of which are made in-house. There’s free WiFi for customers. However, there is no WiFi at all on weekends.
Don't be fooled by the name: The Ministry of Coffee has an abundance of loose leaf tea on site. Black Vanilla, Darjeeling, Spicy Chai, Lemon Ginger – these and more can be yours. Find a seat in the warm but minimal space and reward yourself with a pastry. You'll find the strawberry lemon doughnut cake goes well with almost any flavour of tea.
If you want to beat the lines at this popular Elgin location, you should set the alarm clock a bit earlier. The spicy chai lattes and Nutella hot chocolates have caffeine-starved people knocking down the doors every morning. If you dream of combining caffeine and chocolate, this is your place.
