No Starbucks in site! Roasters was the delight! Had a wonderful specialty cafe in a real cup while lounging on a comfort chair! The only thing that would make it better would be a shot of baileys to add to the flavor.

Scarborough, a land where Tim Horton's rules! One will find a Tim Horton's in almost every major intersections, in a gas stations and everywhere you look..
A coffee shop in Scarborough that has their own coffee roaster and roast them in house?!! That is really hard to believe!!
The Village Roaster is this rare gem that is one of the kind in Scarborough. As stated in their website all the beans are roasted in small patches on the premise.
For drip coffee, all their signature toast are available: light, dark and special. All the baked goods are nicely displayed.. all looks so tempting, especially the butter pecan tarts.. I caved in and got a biscotti..
Cappuccino ($3.10) and Hazelnut chocolate dipped biscotti ($1)
- Cappuccino is Not bad.. but lacking something... I like my roast stronger
- I really enjoyed the biscotti, not too crunchy and really so chocolaty!!
The decoration is similar to Second Cup. Love the sofa love seat right by the door.. Nice and relaxing sipping my coffee there.
The roaster is an impressive and nice decoration in the store. Maybe I should buy some of their coffee beans and make some coffee at home!
BTW, I really not too excited when staffs trying to practice how to make milk froth for my drink right in front of me...
Though open till 10 pm, but No WIFI access. so The Village Roaster would not be my Yelp Office! -

I drove by one night and as usual I don't expect much out of this part of the neighbourhood on Kingston road. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a sign that said Village Roaster as I drove past. Okay I thought, what are the Villagers roasting this time? Pork or Beef?
Did I read the sign wrong and hit the Jackpot to find a (B)roaster instead? By the middle of the Third question I was about to ask myself, I did my famous Y(elp)-Turn(aka U-Turn).
It turns out it was neither Pork, Beef nor Chicken but Coffee Beans. Time for a nightcap but this time it was more like a nightLATTE. They use their Village Light variety for their espresso beverages so I wasn't sure if it was the Milk that made it weak or just the espresso bean selection itself.
Discovering Village Roaster in Scarborough is almost like finding there's an Indie Coffee(Red Bulb) in Stouffville.
As to why Village Roasters chose this spot, I guess Scarberians need Coffee too...Listed in: Coffee Drinks
