Off the Rails Coffee House and Gallery

I have a love-hate relationship with Starbucks these days.

Starbucks is consistent in being Starbucks. The only issue is that it tends to get crowded during finals week.

Although this charming town is no longer directly on the highway, it is definitely worth taking a few extra kilometers to visit. The coffee and food at the quaint old shop are excellent, and the decor adds to the lovely atmosphere. South Johnstone, named after the river running through it, is still home to a functioning sugar mill that keeps the local pub bustling. In addition, there is a fantastic organic goods store and a top-notch butcher that specializes in traditional smoked smallgoods. After enjoying your coffee, be sure to take a stroll around the town to explore all it has to offer.

I always turn off the Bruce Hwy and head to South Johnstone for a break at Off th Rails Cafe and Gallery. The food is always fresh and healthy. Great coffee. The staff are always lovely and accommodating.

Faaaantastic, this groovy little place is well worth a visit, delicious coffee and cake, take a friend visit often
