Cafes in Westboro, Ottawa: 4 Coffee and Bakery Stops

Westboro has several different reasons to stop for coffee: an established regional roaster on Churchill Avenue, an Ottawa roaster's Richmond Road branch, CloudForest's Westboro cafe, and a French bakery. These four stops keep this guide within Westboro rather than folding in Hintonburg's cafes.

Addresses and official location information were checked on October 20, 2026. The list is organised by the kind of stop you want, without treating every cafe as interchangeable.

Pick your Westboro stop

Equator Coffee — a Churchill Avenue base

Equator Coffee is at 412 Churchill Avenue North. The company has roasted coffee since 1998, with its roastery in Almonte. Its Westboro cafe is one branch of that regional business, rather than the location of the roastery itself.

The official location page lists Westboro hours as Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–5 PM, and Sunday, 8 AM–5 PM. Equator also publishes a separate Westboro food menu; follow that menu if food is part of the plan rather than assuming another branch's selection applies here.

Happy Goat — use the Richmond Road location

Happy Goat's Westboro cafe is at 307A Richmond Road. That address matters: the company's original cafe at 35 Laurel Street is in Hintonburg and is a different destination.

Happy Goat roasts its coffee in Ottawa. The Westboro branch lets you try that roaster while staying on Richmond Road. Its official cafe directory publishes a day-by-day schedule, with different closing times during the week; check the Westboro entry when planning a later coffee.

CloudForest — choose the Westboro location

CloudForest Coffee is at 339 Richmond Road, listed by Westboro Village as unit 2. The company's website lists the Westboro cafe separately from its 63 Eddy Street location in Hull.

CloudForest also has a Hull location. Use the Richmond Road address for this outing and check the official site for the current Westboro schedule before visiting.

Mamie Clafoutis — make the pastry the point

Mamie Clafoutis lists its Ottawa bakery at 400 Richmond Road. It is the bakery choice in this guide: a useful stop when a French pastry is as much the reason for the outing as coffee.

Check the Ottawa location directly for its hours and day's selection. The company's website also promotes automated BASIQ locations in Montreal; their 24-hour access should not be applied to the Westboro bakery.

Plan a small coffee outing

Choose a roaster first if the coffee itself is the focus: Equator or Happy Goat. CloudForest gives you another Richmond Road coffee stop; choose Mamie Clafoutis when you want the bakery to lead the visit. Two stops are enough to compare different approaches without turning the morning into a checklist.
