Last night Jason & I were honoured to receive a Hamilton BIA Award of Excellence for Business and Community Partnership.

We feel grateful to have spent the evening with so many Hamilton entrepreneurs and business owners - good people who genuinely make our city better.

Community is why we do it. Partnering with and, over the years, so many other organizations & events within the city, and building beautiful spaces that enhance community life is core to who we are at RELAY.

Jason & I may be the owners of RELAY, but we are by no means running things solo. For 15+ years there have been incredible employees who have given us their time, energy, and love for people, to build RELAY into what it is. We are deeply thankful for everyone, past & present, who share our vision and who make our city better, one interaction at a time.

Thank you to the City of Hamilton and to all the people who have supported and encouraged us. From the people buying our beans all the way back in 2008, to our new fans who met us through Heated Rivalry, to family & friends who loaned us funds and encouraged us on hard days, to every single person who has stopped by for a coffee and said "thank you" to their barista. We love you 💙

Gingerbread Syrup ~ add it to your latte, chai, iced bevvie, or cold brew!
Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate ~ that probably enough detail - yum!
Festive shortbread cookies!
Gingerbread Cookies ~ vegan and free of gluten ingredients but you’d never know!

I may have gone overboard with the exclamation marks but hey, ‘‘tis the season to celebrate 🌟
