I've just relocated to Newmarket for a year and I would love to know who the specialty coffee roasters are in Toronto and surrounding areas. Also, as I now realize that Newmarket is a long drive into town for a coffee, anyone know of any stand out cafe's north of the city?

Hi Jenny, I see no one has replied to you yet (you'd never guess its summer :).
Although I roast my own, I also buy roasted from Everyday Gourmet in the St. Lawrence Market. I also know of Balzac's in the distillery district and a roaster in Kensington Market who's name escapes me at the moment.
There is also Dark City who run a pretty big operation, so I don't know if they qualify as a "specialty" roaster, but they offer free delivery on a 2 lb minimum order. I have a friend who uses them (she is no coffee geek) but I don't remember seeing anything (good or bad) about them in this forum, so I don't know if their coffee is any good.
You should read back through this forum and you'll find more comprehensive info.

Maybe you were thinking of Moonbeam COffee Co. or I-deal coffee. You might want to try Alternative Grounds they also have a ... BTW Has anyone (here) tried the Coffee Tree Roastery?
I have a map for T. Coffee noobs like myself that you might also find of some value.
