Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome. How else can I describe The Carrot? Oh, wait - awesome.
To kick things off, The Carrot has everything I look for in a coffee shop. Lots of tables, piping hot coffee, friendly staff, free wifi, and an eclectic soundtrack.
Even better? It's a community run project, meaning everyone who works there is a volunteer and it's totally non-profit. So when you grab a coffee here, you're helping out the community, too!
Swing by in the evening for live music, and don't forget to check out the art on the walls. They feature a new local artist every month! -

The Carrot is a community arthouse/music venue/coffeeshop on Alberta Ave. They are volunteer run and sell the standard coffeeshop type of fair, as well as some lunch items. They have a stage and open mics on Saturday and Thursdays. When I came in this afternoon there was a performer singing, and a lady was painting. The Carrot also has a number of local artists wares for sale some jewellery, pottery, cards, even soap.
I ordered a ginger spice cider, which tasted like apple cider - I wish there was a little more ginger zip to it. I also got a slice of lemon poppy seed cake which was pretty good. For the drink and cake it was $5.50 - which is a pretty reasonable price. While the food and drink are good they seem almost secondary to the space itself, and what's going on inside. Music, art, conversation - there's a really great, artistic vibe going on here.
Apparently there is wifi here, but I didn't try it out because I didn't have my ipod with me. Still that's probably for the best. The Carrot is more of a place where you'd open a notebook and write something creative, rather than open your laptop and finish that business report. It's nice to know The Carrot is supporting the arts as well as being a good local establishment.
