About the Thunder Bay Coffee Scene
Northwestern Ontario's largest city has a loyal and tight-knit specialty coffee community — the geographic isolation from major Canadian coffee hubs has bred fierce local loyalty and genuine appreciation for the roasters who've chosen to build here.
The historic Port Arthur and Fort William districts (the twin cities that merged to form Thunder Bay) both have independent cafés. Lakehead University contributes a quality-seeking academic demographic that supports the local specialty scene.
