Raw Sugar café, the coffee shop on my street corner (Somerset and Cambridge), is open at last. I went in for a coffee and met the owner, Nadia Kharyati.

I thought that building was too small for a coffee shop, but I was mistaken. Don’t forget that it used to be divided in two, with the back part used as a travel agency. Now it’s opened up and full of mismatched tables, chairs, and sofas.
Here are a couple of pictures.


Look, an organ

It’s really nice in there. Good coffee too. And so far it’s not half as screwy as the Umi Café.
Raw Sugar has a facebook page:

And a bowl of free buttons.

Umi Café also has a facebook page:

I think it’s amazing how important facebook has become.

Nice muffins. It’s on my list. Kind of looks like a daycare. Beer in a daycare… edgy.
A daycare? Hmmm… yes, I can kind of see it…
But they’re not little tables like daycare tables. My fault. Camera angles. They’re actually regular grownup-sized tables.
What a neat looking little cafe and very wise of the owner to have cute women around for added decor.
Do they serve breakfast, Robin? Or just coffee and muffins? I love the happy dancing coffee cups logo at the top
No breakfast yet XUP, but Nadia says breakfast is in her plans. Breakfast and beer, yummy.
this restaurant looks so cool! Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to stop by.
Bandobras, it’s that time-honoured business strategy: booze and broads. Can’t be beat!
Let me know when breakfast is ready and I’ll meet you there!
Will do XUP.
Sounds like it has some of the coffee shop vibe that I want to bring to Killaloe. I’ll have to check it out when I’m in Ottawa.
Hi Aysa! Well, it’s right next door. And just down the street is Umi Café. My neighbourhood is coffee shop central.
Good Luck Nadia. We are looking forwrd to coffee when we are next in Ottawa.

Attractive muffins luring young women.
Is that pronounced Raw Sugar or Raw Shugar?
Eclectic visual ambiance mixed with caffine
in abscence of pan pipes sure to keep patrons from dozing off.
Thinks: must experience in person.
Hey-
Who is opening up a coffee shop in Killaloe??
Raw Sugar is amazing!
Hello… I noticed a comment that said, “It’s really nice in there. Good coffee too. And so far it’s not half as screwy as the Umi Café.” wowser…what’s up with Umi? How is Umi “screwy”? Just wondering. I’ll have to check out both cafes and see if I notice something soooo off with Umi!
Umi’s fine. Bit up in the clouds. No offence meant.
Up in the clouds – phew! that’s good! I guess that’s exactly part of the charm and why people seem to like both cafes so much. They are both clearly on the funky edge, in decor, concept, and that must be part of why people love both cafes so much! They seem both similar and different…wonderful. They both have changing local art on the walls, music, and of course coffee and food. Wonderful to have options and to have them located so close together too! Thanks for clarifying. I noticed Umi has some amazing concerts tonight and through the weekend, so we’ll be sure to visit both cafes. Mahalo.
