TRAVEL MANITOBA
Grey Wolf Café, Dugald Head to Grey Wolf Café for a strong sense of community and culture alongside a fantastic cup of coffee. This family- and Indigenous-owned café encourages conversation with every cup poured, from drip coffee to peppermint tea to the exceptional flavoured lattes. Treats from Hildegard's Bakery, freshly baked bannock and breakfast sandwiches are tasty accompaniments for your drink. Trail's End Coffee, Elma Some of the best coffee stories start small, and Trail's End Coffee is proof. Founder Andrew Goossen first roasted beans at home in a Whirley Pop popcorn popper. Today, his artisan roastery in Elma serves thoughtfully sourced coffee from around the world. On a frosty morning, warm up with their signature Rustic Trail Latte (made with cinnamon and dark brown sugar mixed in with the espresso) or keep it simple with a fresh cup of drip. Grab a bag of beans on your way out so you can bring a taste of Trail's End home. WEST Soleil Coffee & Gift Shop, Swan River If you haven't tried coffee from family-owned Soleil Coffee and Gift Shop, you're in for a real treat. Found inside a small church that's been beautifully renovated to house the café and shop, Soleil prides itself on handcrafted coffee that's roasted to perfection. Try autumn specials such as a harvest chai latte or blueberry cloud matcha, and be sure to stock up on Manitoba-made items in the gift shop while you're there. Cafe Do Good, Brandon Stop in at Cafe Do Good whenever your next caffeine craving hits or you feel like finding a new favourite order. This warm and inviting café offers a stellar lineup of seasonal drinks to choose from that are all bursting with autumn and winter flavours; think cinnamon pear cider, maple sea salt shaken espresso or pumpkin matcha. Whether you're visiting with a friend, unwinding with a book or picking up an order to go, Cafe Do Good is a wonderful option on a chilly day. MJ's Coffee Bar & Bistro, Virden Road-tripping along the Trans-Canada? Make time for a stop at MJ's Coffee Bar & Bistro in Virden. Here, every cup starts with beans roasted down the road in Brandon and ground fresh each day. Try a classic drip coffee paired with a hearty breakfast or lunch to fuel the rest of your drive.

INTERLAKE Interlake Brewing Co., Gimli
Just steps from the beach, Interlake Brewing Co. proves that Gimli isn't just a summer destination. This family-friendly restaurant and microbrewery stays open year-round, with live music, trivia and karaoke nights to keep the winter blues away. Settle in with a pint and a plate of comfort food, and you'll quickly see why locals keep coming back year-round. EAST Stone City Coffee Roasters, Steinbach With two locations in Steinbach, Stone City Coffee Roasters only roasts Specialty Grade Arabica, making every cup a testament to the craft of coffee roasting. For java lovers, their drip coffee is pure bliss. If you're after something fancier, try one of their fun seasonal offerings, including a mini donut macchiato, pumpkin cheesecake chai and, for kids, a banana bread sipper. You can also purchase their beans and coffee syrups to make your favourite at home. Located in the main lodge of Falcon Trails Resort, Owl Wing Coffee House is the ideal place to warm up after a day on the ski trails. Cozy up by the crackling fireplace, gaze out the windows at the snowy landscape and enjoy a menu filled with winter essentials: hot chocolate, spiced lattes and chai tea. Bonus: the café uses coffee beans from Manitoba favourite Little Sister Coffee Maker. Owl Wing Coffee House, Whiteshell Provincial Park
