High on the list of the reasons we love Toronto is its abundance of cool, independent coffee shops. We’ve made it our mission to try just about every one in the city and thankfully a new passport has made it that much easier and cheaper (we’d like to think they made it just for us)!

Behold, the Indie Coffee Passport! The concept? It’s simple. For just $20, you can indulge in one coffee or tea (up to a $5 value) at each one of the 24 indie coffee shops participating throughout the city between Sept. 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 (that’s a $120 value if you’re calculating). The pass can be picked up at any of the participating coffee shops or online at www.indiecoffeepassport.com/buy.html, and goes up to $25 after Oct. 1. There’s really no better way to explore the city and enjoy one helluva caffeine high – GET ON THIS!
