If Fair-trade organic coffee is a bonus, there is a coffee 
house/supplier in Almonte that sells a not bad Costa-Rican dark bean.  
They're called Equator Coffee..  

They have a long list of local outlets, several are in the general area 
of geography you specified, and they have a few mail order plans as 
well.

For others who don't like stale or burnt coffee, they also sell fresh 
green beans you can roast yourself.
