Turtle Crossing Craft Tea & Coffee Roaster

A micro cafe and small batch coffee roaster on Penetanguishene Road at Orr Lake, a few minutes north of Elmvale. The roaster runs on site, so the beans in the grinder were generally roasted in the same building.

The counter covers espresso, americanos and the rest of what proper baristas turn out, alongside organic teas and artisan treats. Coffee shops and cafes are thin on the ground in this stretch of Springwater, and Turtle Crossing is the one people make the drive for. Beans and loose tea are sold to take home.

Ethically sourced is the stated buying policy across both the coffee and the tea. This is a takeaway café rather than a sit-down room, and parking on site is tight.

On County Road 93 between Elmvale and Wyevale, an easy stop for anyone driving the Penetanguishene Road route.
