Best coffee I have had in Ottawa. Too bad they only have the one location.
As previous posters have mentioned - try to bring your own mug if possible. -

I Deal Coffee is VERY good. Definitely some of the best stuff Ottawa has to offer. However, I'm holding it to the same standard which I would any city that may hold WAY more indie coffee shops.
The atmosphere is unintentionally old fashioned and a bit rustic. The booths have clearly spent their share of time there, for example. There's a lot of space for patrons though and even a cute patio for summer, facing onto Bruyere Street.
The work space for doling out the coffee is pretty small but they certainly can do the job well back there! When you order coffee, they ask if you want light or dark roast. I like the coffee a lot and you can just take it to the other side of the counter for some delicious, free accompaniments like gorgeous raw sugar, soy milk and all the other standard fixings. I'm also a fan of the latte, with a little chocolate powder on top and my cranberry scone was yummy! They give you two packages of butter and knife with it, shame the butter was quite hard/frozen.
Service, I've found, is not particularly warm. It's efficient, they know what questions to ask you to get it right but it's not very chatty at all. Actually once after I had looked at my bill for a scone and latte, I commented on how good the prices were (about $5.50 for both, tax in). The baristas response? "Yeah, we make it affordable so people will tip us"
I already hadn't tipped......... Awkward. I'm sorry, I was paying with a credit card and didn't have change!
Anyways, I'll still be going back. They have a solid product which I enjoy. Check out the back by the washroom to see where they keep the beans and weigh them! Also, if you buy a pound, you get a free cup of coffee! -

Very friendly service and the scones are awesome. I stop by here on the way to work everyday and much enjoy the atmosphere, service and quality than the big chains.
I always recommend this place to anyone in the area as a place to check out. -

Yup, I am a big fan!
Great atmosphere, great folks working there. The oatmeal choc chip cookies are soooo good. And I'm really into the iced coffees lately. (You can get them with coffee ice cubes, if you like).
They use organic milk and cream, which I really highly appreciate. -

Delicious coffee! Great service! Amazing coffee mugs, if you stay to enjoy your coffee. EXTREMELY saddened that they served my to-go coffee in a STYROFOAM cup!!! If you want to try this place out - please PLEASE bring your own travel mug.
