Your Kitchen: Local coffee roaster named one of world's best 100 coffee shops

Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
Ottawa's Little Victories Coffee Roasters is featured on local news after being named one of the 100 best coffee shops in the world. Co-founder Andrew Bassett discusses the team's decade-long journey operating three cafes in Ottawa and demonstrates brewing espresso at their flagship Elgin Street location.
Inside this video
From CTV News:
“The word I keep using is surreal, to be honest. I think Ottawa is again unfortunately just not known as a really famous hospitality city.”
“We have three excellent cafes in Ottawa, but the the location that got highlighted is our flagship cafe on 44 Elgin Street.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
