Christmas a Time to Share a Little Bit of Cheer

Spoke with one of the staff members, Linda D., at Destination Cafe recently. The cafe has been extremely busy with its Christmas preparations, in particular supplying customers with Christmas baskets. I bought two of these baskets last year around this time, and I can attest to the fact that these items are of very high quality. These baskets come in two main sizes. The smaller one costs $30 a piece, and has a variety of goodies, including a half pound of coffee, with a choice of Peruvian coffee or the Signature blend. The latter blend is a creation of the cafe's, and its exact ingredients are a closely held secret. The larger size costs $45.00, and contains a full pound of coffee. Both these baskets contain other items such as chocolates and biscotti, and tea is always included.  Custom-made Christmas baskets are also available, and can cost as much as $100.00, depending on size and contents. 

To order these baskets, customers can follow five steps: The first step is to select your holiday basket and quality, the next step is choose the type of grind you would like for your coffee: whole beans, French press, automatic drip or espresso. The third step is to select your method of payment, whether it is by cheque, cash or debit (the debit option is only available in store). You then need to select either pick-up or delivery (note that delivery is only available in Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, West Toronto or Dufferin County).

Destination Cafe is a community based "social purpose business" that is committed to providing those who are challenged by mental health issues to work in an accepting environment that tolerates individual differences. By purchasing these products, customers can find satisfaction in the knowledge that they are supporting people, community and the environment.
