The flow has changed, but the hustle stays the same. I’ll be the first to admit that being forced to slow down has had some real benefits. Guilt-free days off at one of the busiest times of year has done wonders for my state of mind. Still, after an initial adjustment period, we find ourselves filling our days quickly. Eight weeks in, the way we’ll operate in the future is starting to take shape. One of the biggest pieces of this puzzle has been online ordering. It was a scramble to pull together within days something we’d moved to the back burner for months and years, but now, in its earliest edition, it’s flowing like clockwork - at least the part that involves getting freshly roasted beans to your kitchen. We’re working on bringing you more availability online, but as it stands, you can count on your favourite beans being available online on Mondays, and ready for pickup or delivery by Tuesday afternoon. As anyone who counts on a coffee to start their day knows, consistency is key. These days, my mornings start with an AeroPress of whichever single origin beans I’ve got open at the shop, followed by checking on your incoming coffee orders and plugging away at preparing product listings, social posts and blog content while watching the door for curbside pickup. The flow is still happening, and the sunshine’s returning. - Laura --------------------------------------- Coffee just arrived, so reserve your beans at thebrakeroom.com now. You’ll get an email from us as soon as your order has been prepared.
We went for a nice one today. One to clear the cobwebs. Great to see many out practicing distancing while socializing. The @midtownbrewingcompany was a hot spot this afternoon. It’s alway great to see so many friends, but especially these days. Stay healthy, friends. #weekender #sundaze #bayofquinte #topstone105 #cannondaletopstone #cannondale #gravgrav #gravelbike #socialdistancing
It's just a little thing, but now more than ever, the impact of choosing direct trade coffee beans is felt the world over. ⁠ ⁠ We're proud to have been able to offer you Pilot Coffee every week for the last four years, and we're beaming because you've shown up by ordering for contactless delivery and curbside pickup so consistently for the last six weeks. ⁠ ⁠ Locally, this means you get to enjoy your favourite brew, home-style, and our team can keep ourselves busy fulfilling orders. ⁠ ⁠ Regular orders also mean that @Pilotcoffeeroasters can anticipate the demand for whole bean coffee better, avoiding over-roasting and wasting product. ⁠ ⁠ And it means that in unprecedented times - times that are challenging to navigate for those whose livelihoods depend on international trade - farmers in Guatemala, Brazil and Rwanda can still sell their crops at fair prices, to real people. ⁠ ⁠ It means a lot, so thank you. ⁠
Grateful to be able to keep our team rolling along while we all get sorted. Since we’ve started working by appointment our workflow is smoother than ever. Have you dialed in your bike lately? Book from our profile! #thebrakeroom #bayofquinte #countyup #pec
I keep having the urge to set off on my first SUB-24HOUR-OVERNIGHT of the year. I don’t need to pack much after all. A sandwich or two, a can of local brew, and a coffee kit for morning. It doesn’t need to be epic to make memories. It’s times like these where the memories count for more. Until the sunshine’s into the eve! Stay healthy friends. #bikepacking #s24o #veloorange #rrbinthewild
We’re going to lose these moments this year. Still... nothing compared to the loss people around the world are facing this very moment. Stay grounded. Stay healthy. Stay home. #stayhome #paristoancaster #p2a #gravgrav #gravelrace #gravelbike #covid #bayofquinte #countyup

Here’s a memory: Before I let this guy go, I finished for it’s new owner. It’s supposed to be a BMX bike for dads. If anything - this was the start for my dadbike/radbike movement. #dadbike #vintagemtb #klunker #dinglespeed #26aintdead
