When it comes to local, food seems to get all the glory but we'll think you'll agree that the liquids on this list are all stars deserving their own time in the sun. For simply better sips, read on!
Let's Talk Coffee
Let's talk coffee and how you can get it locally roasted. Early Bird Coffee in Woodstock roasts their coffee in house and serves it up hot in their cafe as well as in a monthly delivery service within Oxford County. Whether you want it to your door or to grab and go, there's an opportunity to enjoy the beans and we recommend taking it. Coffee-lovers will revel in their golden-pheasant medium dark roast and those who love a morning cup to start their day will enjoy the light robin roast which still boasts a full flavoured cup. Check out all their roasts online. You can't go wrong.
Kintore Coffee's cafe in Embro is home to a delightful menu of hot and cold beverages including their iconic cold brew and summertime Shandy (cold brew and lemonade). This cafe celebrates local providing space on the shelves for locally made candles, food items, jewelry and more. Pop in for a drink and stock up for home. You'll be glad you did!
Cheers to Beers
To those who enjoy a quality craft brew come the weekend or end of the work day, Oxford has options (and some great ones at that). Choose from five local breweries located in Ingersoll (Ingersoll Rails), Tavistock (Madmash), south of Norwich (Ramblin' Road) and two in Woodstock (Upper Thames and their sister location Brickhouse). All locations offer a tap room, retail, plus merch to remember the brew after you finished it (a great reminder to come back for more. If looking for non-alcoholic options Upper Thames Brewing makes a variety of sodas and hop water (think carbonated water with a hint of hops and lemon). Some locations offer growler refill, entertainment full menus. Explore their listings below .
