Best Coffee in Prince Edward County

If you're looking for the best coffee in Prince Edward County, you've come to the right place. Read this post to find all the best cafes in Wellington, Picton, Bloomfield, Consecon, Carrying Place, and Demorestville Prince Edward County. We've even included the best places to stop on your way into the county, through Trenton and Belleville.

First off, Be prepared for nothing being open exceptionally early, or exceptionally late in Prince Edward County. Since we are most often photographing our couples at sunrise and sunset we are those people looking for good coffee between 7-8 AM and let me tell you, there is not much available! After many mornings spent patiently waiting for our favorites to open we’ve learned to take the time to make a Chemex in the morning, pour it into our Huskee Cups and then look for a mid-morning pick me up after the shops have opened between 8 - 9 AM. Lucky for us (and for you) there are plenty of options for locally roasted coffee beans and beautiful cups to drink your homemade brew from.
