Sidetrack: A Wortley Café
136 Wortley Road N6C 3P5 London, ON, Canada

CREW // Picking up from where we left off introducing our star team, with Dan! . Dan lives in the Old South with his family. Beyond coffee and cafés, his other interests include gardening, carpentry, beekeeping, brewing beer, and composting. He says he’s not very good at any of those hobbies, but he really enjoys them nevertheless. We are subtly encouraging him to focus more on that brewing hobby so we can offer proper critique. ;-) . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

BIRTHDAY CAKE // Sidetrack has just turned one! We started the journey to Sidetrack on November 22, 2019, and have been serving up delicious espresso ever since, through a pandemic, a renovation, and many lessons learned and friends made. Swipe right for some of our favourite memories and moments earned along the way. . We got here with your love and support, and we would like to celebrate with our latest creation, a cake in latte form! . Our Tiramisu Latte is as delicious as... it sounds, pairing an indulgent chocolate flavour with notes of amaretto. Enjoy at a special price of $4.95 for our birthday week from this Sunday to next Sunday! Sip it by itself for a dessert drink, or complement it with our shortbread for the perfect treat. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont See more

TRADITION // Vista Hermosa is a remarkable coffee, with fruity sweetness front and centre, and notes of concord grape, toffee, and white tea. Luis Reinoso, the producer, started working on his family’s coffee farm over thirty years ago, learning the craft from his father. Over the years, Luis has perfected the method that is right for his coffee. Vista Hermosa is fully washed and fermented in the traditional manner for over 18 hours, then dried on parabolic patios with raised beds. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

COMFORT // How do you make tea even more relaxing and enjoyable? It’s not easy, but a smooth tea latte with a sprinkling of cardamom goes a long way on an autumn day. . Make it even more interesting with a shot of syrup. We have nearly a dozen options, including seasonal pumpkin spice, gingerbread, and ginger molasses (made in house!). . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

HOLIDAYS // The holidays may not be here yet, but you can already celebrate (pre-celebrate?) with Fire Roasted’s Holiday Blend, an annual, Limited Edition treat now available for your drinking and gifting pleasure. Packaged in a festive red that stands out in the crowd, this blend of Guatemalan, Costa Rican, and Sumatran beans is reminiscent of spiced confections. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

STEAMER // Silky smooth and flavoured your way, steamers are the final word in decaf.

OCTOBER // We have fallen into autumn (see what we did there?) and nothing announces that like Pumpkin. Spice. Lattes. Bring the cheerful flavour of pumpkin spice to your day (plus whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon) and celebrate the season with a warm mug of this perennial classic. . PS. Squash not included. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

LIFE-SIZED // There are cute li’l cortado days, and there are days that call for nothing short of a carafe of pure caffeine goodness. Or perhaps you want to keep the entire family hopping and charged for an active weekend! Whatever your sidetrack, we have you covered with our 96 ounce (12 cup) and 160 ounce (20 cup) options. Please call ahead and it will be ready for pick-up! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

C // ... is for cookie, and our cookies are for you! Chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, ginger molasses, breakfast or strawberry shortbread, there’s a cookie (or two) to go with every cup! Get an even better deal when you get two, because one cookie is never enough. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

WARES // We don’t think it’s ever too early to start thinking about the right presents (a certain day is only two months away...) and it’s impossible to go wrong with a set of delicate yet functional glassware. Kinto’s glasses are double-walled to remain cool to the touch regardless of drink temperature, and its Unitea One Touch teapots make for an easy and minimalist loose-leaf experience. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

BOO! // Our chocolate heard spirits were on their way, and turned pale as a sheet! If hot chocolate is your go-to for warm wintry comfort, try this sweeter twist on a classic. (Of course, no hot chocolate is ever complete without a big peak of whipped cream to crown it!) . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

ENERGETIC // Kombucha is already a refreshing blend of delicious and healthy, and Booch has levelled it up in this all-new Apple Reishi Chai flavour. Reishi, or lingzhi, is a mushroom that has been traditionally steeped as a herbal tea and is becoming popular as an interesting addition to familiar beverages. Come by and give it a try, and don’t forget to pair it to perfection with an apple scone! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

COMFORT // Sweater Weather is the perfectly-named coffee for this season, featuring a limited blend of Guatemalan and Columbian coffees with the aromatics of sweet citrus and dried fruits, and notes of cherry, caramel apple, milk chocolate, and nostalgia. Sink into a mug of this in those not-yet-light fall mornings, or take it along for a late afternoon walk and get sidetracked. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

FAVOURITE // @fireroastedcafe’s Grand Bend Biker Blend has been a customer favourite from day one, and for good reason. Combining complex flavours from three beans, this dark roast has a robust and peppery feel perfect for a weekend drink that warms and energises! The extra dose of caffeine from one of the beans being a hearty robusta doesn’t hurt either! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

SIMPLE // Sometimes, a simple glass of milk is all that’s called for. You can always get just a glass of milk at our café dairy, almond, soy, or oat and add in a dash of syrup for flavour out of our wide selection. Chocolate is always a favourite, but there’s also caramel, ginger and molasses, vanilla, and many others! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

ONE LAST TIME // The weather is taking a turn for the colder and memories of summer are morphing into quiet evenings, warm mugs, and cozy sweaters. There is still time to enjoy some of our favourite summer beverages indoors, and a big mug of Bottle Neck on ice is the way to go! . Bottle Neck is one of our year-round favourites and one of our favourite names in the line-up! Our friends at Detour found a baby raccoon with its head stuck in a broken mason jar near their café in ...Dundas one morning, and named this blend to commemorate the rescue of their little friend. * Photo credit: @mykalekitchen * #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont See more

SIDEKICK // We like simple, effective ideas dialled up with premium materials and build quality, so we love the Espro P7. While other French presses may lose heat from the first minute, the P7 features a dual-wall, stainless steel carafe to retain heat for hours, making it the perfect work-from-home companion. Its dual-stage micro-filters remove sediment and fines while passing on maximum flavour and aroma, giving you a clean-drinking, delicious beverage that’s always served at the right temperature. . In addition to all that, it’s a great looking piece of kit that will complement any kitchen and is a pleasure to look at and use! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

WARMTH // We love the smell of baking in the air, and the first step of enjoying an apple cinnamon scone has to be its warm, welcoming fragrance. Biting into a warm scone is one of the best ways to blanket oneself against these cold days, and the promise of colder days ahead. Pair it with a hot chocolate, and it’s perfection! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

BASICS // We love our seasonal, single origin coffees with a story, but getting back to basics and pulling up a cup of a familiar blend is just plain nice. Our year-round blends each bring something unique to the table, complementing each other and forming a sensible set. . Bottleneck is sweet and balanced with browning sugar aromatics leading to a creamy texture and smooth, comforting notes of fig and toffee. Bouncy Castle is a fun, cheery coffee as its name implies, full of... happy aromatics and a sweet, juicy finish. Punch Buggy has a deep chocolate backbone, fruitiness reminiscent of cherry, and a syrupy sweetness to round it all out. . Which one should you pick? Our 3 for $49 offer makes it easy to choose our favourite option when it comes to coffee: All of the Above! (And if dark roasts or decaf are your preference, they are part of the family too!) . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont See more

PROPORTION // Getting the ratio of coffee to water right is one of the simplest steps in creating great coffee, and also one of the most crucial. Off by as little as a few grams, and what could have been an extraordinary shot or an perfect cup of coffee could taste far below its potential. Good coffee deserves careful handling! This is why we carefully measure out coffee down to the gram, and sometimes a tenth of a gram, to get the right balance and make the most out of each coffee based on our own experience and the roaster’s recommendation. Our espresso machine's integrated scale helps us maintain the right ratio of espresso to water, every single time. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

BALANCED // Saint Drogo, named after the patron saint of coffee shops, is a dark roast with a nutty and toffee-like flavour profile. Coffee beans sourced Peru, Costa Rica, and Brazil are roasted separately and blended afterwards, guaranteeing full control of the final product and a balanced beverage. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

THANKS // We have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, after nearly a year (so close....) of being welcomed into our warm and wonderful community. Swing by and say hello on Monday we will be open for shorter hours of 8 am - 4 pm and see you again with regular hours on Tuesday. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

HANDY // We love loose leaf, but we will readily agree it could stand to be a lot quicker and more convenient to make. Fortunately, it’s HandyBrew to the rescue! Fill it up with your favourite leaf and hot water at the right temperature, wait (the waiting’s the hardest part), and then place it on your favourite mug for a lovely start to the day. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

TREACLE TREAT // Settle in for a warm ginger hug by combining our new ginger molasses latte with a ginger cookie. The latte combines our very own recipe of ginger molasses syrup and it topped with a flourish of nutmeg and cinnamon (and whipped cream, if you like) while the ginger cookie is a perfect pairing to put you in sweet ginger heaven. PS. Tag your favourite ginger. #tagagingeryouknow . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

WARMTH // Autumn colours and a bite in the air mean it’s time for a big, warm mug of delicious hot chocolate, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and made more interesting with one of our many syrups, from classic caramel and hazelnut to seasonal peppermint, cinnamon, and gingerbread. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

PAIRING // Who said pre-packaged convenience could not also be delicious and made with local, wholesome ingredients? Our lunch salads by Rebel Remedy balance perfectly with our cold tonics from them, and together they are an amazing lunch option! . The cold tonic that’s closest to our hearts right now is the exciting new Blueberry Honey Lemon Immunitea. With seasonal cold-pressed juices and 19 herbs, flowers, and roots, it’s an amazing late morning pick-me-up! . Among Salads,... enjoy the Caesar with (McIntosh Farms) Bacon or (vegan) ’Shroom Patties, or the Seasonal Salad with (vegan) ’Shroom Patties. The Caesar is dairy-free. Both salads are gluten-free, as long as you leave out the croutons from the Caesar! . The Caesar combines mixed kale, cabbage and radicchio with spiced chickpeas, miso quinoa, pickled red onions, cashew, dairy-free hemp ‘cheeze’, with optional paprika sourdough croutons. . The Seasonal has a rotating roster of seasonal vegetables spiced up with the flavour of sumac chickpeas, dukkah, toasted European pumpkin seeds, and miso ginger dressing. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #londonont #lunch See more

SEASONAL // It’s getting to be the time of the year for fallen leaves, tricks and treats, and of course pumpkins. We will start off the season with these soft and delicious pumpkin muffins (and we wonder what's coming up next ) . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

SPIRITED // Occasionally, we come across a coffee that works beautifully as both a filter coffee and an espresso coffee. Espiritu de Wari is one such coffee, sourced from the fabled Cusco region in Peru, the ancient home of the Wari culture. . The coffee is a blend of caturra, bourbon and typica varietals. It is fully washed once picked and fermented for 16 hours, before being dried on covered patios and raised beds. The final result is an apple pastry-like flavour, with sweet and spicy tastes reminiscent of blackberry, caramel, and apple. It’s a delight trying it side by side as a filter coffee and an espresso drink, and noticing the similarities and distinctions! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont

PRECISE // Tamping is a well-known step in the making of espresso, and also a significant source of variability and workplace injuries. . The tamp can change depending on arm strength, time of day, the barista's height and weight, and if it's a rushed moment. That in turn can change the taste of the espresso. Our automatic tamper removes the uncertainty by consistently tamping in precisely the same way at exactly the same pressure, every single time. Contrary to industry myth..., tamping technique has been shown to make no systemic difference to the taste of espresso; it’s consistent pressure and positioning that matters. . Tamping is also the source of repetitive stress injuries (RSI) to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, unacceptably common in our industry. By giving this risky chore with our robotic helper, we are avoiding the risk of chronic pain and freeing up our baristas for the more complex, artistic, and very human work of crafting and delivering the perfect drink, every time. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont See more

TOFFEE // Carefully roasted and balanced to bring out richer notes of toffee, dark chocolate, and molasses without losing its natural charm, @fireroastedcafe’s Guatemala is a treat for the discerning dark roast drinker! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #supportlocal #coffee

UPGRADE // We got several queries about this curious addition to the AeroPress family, and we have answers! . The Fellow Prismo is a valve goes at the bottom of your AeroPress and is pressure-actuated, meaning it will not open below a certain minimum pressure. This ensures that any coffee is only produced if you are pressing down hard enough, and the coffee thus produced is startlingly closer to espresso than with an unaided AeroPress. As a bonus, this also solves the common ...AeroPress complaint of sometimes leaking while water is being filled into it. . If using the Prismo, do remember to change up your ratios! The company recommends adding 20 g of finely ground coffee to 50 g of water, agitating for 10 seconds, and steeping for a minute. . PS. Of course, the best way to get started with AeroPress in your life is our AeroPress Combo, combining an AeroPress, a Fellow Prismo, and an Able Disk (or pack of paper microfilters) for just $99. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont See more

FLAVOURS // We have a rotating selection of chocolate, lemon, salted caramel, strawberry, and vanilla macarons and we wouldn't want to miss any. Get them for $3.95 each or 6 for $16 for a fuller plate of flavour! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #coffee #macarons #dessert #bakery #bakedgoods

TONIC // Rebel Remedy’s Immunitea is one of our all-time favourites around here, combining the refreshing taste and benefits of seasonal cold-pressed juices, raw honey, and a blend of 19 herbs, roots, and flowers. The newest flavour is Blueberry Honey Lemon, in the café now! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #supportlocal

CLASSIC // Simple is often best, and Americanos are as simple and wholesome as it gets. Combine a shot of delicious espresso and water in just the right way, and enjoy a perfect, perked-up replacement for filter coffee. If filter is your go-to, give this classic a go. . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #coffee

OPEN // We love long weekends, and what better way to relax than on a summer patio with a latte and a bagel bomb (or a scoop of ice-cream and a macaron)? Whatever your plans, we are here from 8 am - 6 pm on Labour Day to help you have that perfect long weekend! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #supportlocal #coffee

EARTHY // Introducing @fireroastedcafe’s newest dark roast Sumatra. . These are processed using the unique Indonesian practice of wet-hulling. Indonesia’s rainy climate makes slow drying impractical and inconsistent, so the coffee is moved quickly from farm to mill after fermenting, without a long drying stage in between. This means the beans still retain much of their original pulp and liquid entering the mill, leading to an instantly recognisable flavour and aroma in the ...cup. . Expect a rich, earthy flavour with a full body and real complexity when we feature Sumatra on the bar very soon (keep an eye on our story), or bring a bag home for an early peek! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #shopsmall #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #supportlocal #coffee See more

BETTER TOGETHER // AeroPress was a leap forward in making coffee at home, with its simple operations and an inspired community experimenting with new ways of using it. . The easiest way to level up your AeroPress game is an Able stainless steel disk filter, which ensures that all of the nuance and flavour ends up in your mug and cuts out the papery taste (and paper waste!) . Then complete the upgrade with the Prismo, a pressure-actuated valve that keeps the AeroPress from lea...king coffee ahead of being pressed. The Prismo does not open until a certain threshold of pressure is crossed (lean into it!) meaning it gets the AeroPress much closer to a true espresso experience, right on your countertop for an exceptional morning pick-me-up! . Get an AeroPress + Able disk + Prismo together at Sidetrack for only $99 including HST, a 45% DISCOUNT to online (Amazon.ca) prices. You may also swap out the Able filter for a pack of 350 paper microfilters, if you prefer! . #wortley #wortleycafe #wortleyvillage #sidetrack #sidetrackcafe #londonontario #519london #519londonontario #shoplocal #indiecafe #ldnont #londonont #coffee See more
