144 Hunter Street West Peterborough, ON, Canada

This pal is off on some new adventures for the summer and we’ll be saying goodbye to them soon Make sure to come by one afternoon this week to wish them luck! We’re so so incredibly blessed to have had Kat with us the last year and half. They’ve helped Kit become what I always dreamed of it becoming, and I am very proud of them.

It’s time for a break. We’re tired. Given the stay at home order issued today, KitCoffee will be closed for all service for the next 7 days, reopening next Thursday for takeout. Thank you to everyone for the support and continued patronage. We’re so blessed to know each of you. We’ll be back better than ever. ... Stay safe. Stay well. Stay home. (Or go out and get some vitamin d.

Reopening for takeaway Thursday morning at 8am! We will move forward with curbside pickup/takeaway only for the foreseeable future, we will still be open every day 8-4. You can call us to order ahead of time (we suggest only using this for larger orders or food items as for hot drinks we don’t like to make too far in advance so that it’s the freshest possible for you). ... Can’t wait to see you all!

Ooooh, tell me this freshly baked everything bagel isn’t everything right now. That’s right you can’t. Living for the little things during this mockdown. We are open our regular hours for takeaway. Take it easy on the planters outside during the nice weather. What’s your favourite bagel topping!?... Check out @ohnads___ just rocking bagel queen life. We love them. What a gem. @ KitCoffee

Just some sun.

We have a couple bags of Stereo organic decaf on sale for 15$! Come in to grab yours, and don’t forget we can grind them for you!

We have been luckier than most this year. Being small, we’ve surprisingly been able to operate close to normal a lot of the year. Our other food industry small business friends have less serendipitous circumstances. Please support your local restaurants offering Limited dine in, takeout and delivery. @rarelocalrestaurant @stveronus @lepetitbarptbo @tasosptbo @brothers_pizza_ptbo @hanoihouseptbo @samsplacedeli @eastcitycoffeeshop @ashburnham_ale_house @onefinefood @cap...ratoro @thefoodforest @hotbellymamas @bythebridgeptbo @publicanhouse @thepinptbo : Erin from @watsonandlou

Kit totes now available for 12$!! These are a super sturdy natural canvas tote, I love the weight of them. Thanks to @alpineprintcompany for their great work despite challenges with getting stock in during covid. Be nice to you’re local small business owners, friends. They’re experiencing the natural dip in sales that happens every January on top of many new challenges that have popped up because of the pandemic with sourcing and shipping etc. These challenges are largely ...behind the scenes, so please remember to have grace for each other in these times. We’re all exhausted, overwhelmed and sad. Let’s be kind to each other and lift each other up. Recycled leather Cup cozy, java jacket by @jackalshide

Still here doing the things! We are in red zone, which allows us to seat 10 people (conveniently the number of seats we already have). Please read the signs. We appreciate it and are happy you still want to come spend time with us. Come for cookies, and bagels, and coffee and London fogs. Stay for smiles and chats and laughs and warmth.

Can’t wait till you’re all allowed to sit in our sunny window again. For now we’re still open for takeout coffee, pastries, bagels and lunch 9-3 Tuesday to Saturday. Wednesday’s we have fresh sourdough, and our freezer is keeping stocked with take and bake treats!

New roast from @stereocoffeeroasters! This blend of a minimum of 3 of Geoffs favourite beans from different origin countries, this roast is super vibrant and fruity. We are loving all the new artwork; this art is from Toronto based artist@quincyraby_art ! (Sold out until next week!)

With help from @1.5degreescompost we at KitCoffee have diverted almost 2500 lbs of food waste from landfills since joining the composting program back in February!! Also we switched to all compostable cups and packaging (except for our freezer items). Your cup, sleeve, LID and pastry bags, napkins and sand which boxes as well as our nitrile gloves(!!!) are all compostable!

It’s a cookie.

We’ve added Cardamom syrup to our flavourings for the season. I highly recommend a cardamom hot chocolate!

Classic combo. What’s your favourite pastry and drink combo at Kit? Maggie loves a @chimptreats smoothie and a loaded cookie.

Huge shout-out to KitCoffee, one of the first businesses to sign up for our Compost Program! Since joining our Compost Community back in February, they have di...verted 2,480 lbs of food waste through our Composting initiative to-date!

Last year at the @mcleanberryfarm pumpkin patch. What a year it’s been!! This thanksgiving will look different for most people. What are you still grateful for? I’m grateful for my chosen family here in Peterborough where I’ve made my home, for the beauty of Octobers and bowls of delicious bean juice . ... #peterborough #peterboroughontario #ptbo #ptbolove #ptbolocalfood @ Peterborough, Ontario

Here is a fun little story for you! I was born in Timmins, but grew up entirely in Vancouver B.C. When I moved back to Ontario 7 years ago I was able to reconnect with a lot of extended family. I learned that Bea @summerroadsflowerco Mom who taught at Trent while I was there was a dear friend of my late mom and that they were distantly related! (Still unsure of the exact connection there!) ... Recently I learned that Mark Hayhoe of @k2milling is a distant cousin of mine as well through my moms side (the hayhoes). It’s been amazing learning my family’s food legacy in this province, as my grandfather ran an ice cream company for many years in Toronto as well. So excited to announce we are now using @k2millings cold milled Ontario wheat flour in our scratch baking. Unbleached and untreated. Take a 2kg bag home for your bake at home needs for 14.50$! @ KitCoffee

It’s bread day! And like.... is it ever bread day, look at it all!!! 6$ a loaf, today and tomorrow! ... Also @wildflowerbakeryca is opening their shop in Havelock this weekend!!! Check out their page for updates!!

We are rolling out some pretty exciting things! But we also have some less exciting news too. KitCoffee (previously KitCafe) hasn’t raised prices since opening at the farmers market in 2018. We have also always offered tax inclusive pricing. Unfortunately this simply isn’t sustainable for us any longer (especially with the upgrades in compostable packaging) and starting this week we’ll be charging tax on top of our existing prices, as well as changing prices of some sele...ct items. However! In order to soften this blow to our loyal patrons and say thank you for your continued support we now have a loyalty card! Collect ten stamps from either drink purchases OR retail coffee and tea purchases (1 stamp every 10$ spent) and redeem your full card for any free drink. We love you #peterborough @ Downtown Peterborough
