What the creator captured
The Travel Review Crew embarked on a seven-cafe crawl through Ottawa, finding Arlington 5 to be the standout for its bold coffee and vibrant community atmosphere. They were particularly impressed by the unexpected spectacle of the Changing of the Guard parade which added a unique ceremonial flair to their downtown journey. While they appreciated the local art and quality brews, they found the Ministry of Coffee location to be too sterile and lacking in personality.
