Baristas and Books
Windsor Essex knows how to brew…and book! Whether you canβt start your morning off without it or you love an afternoon pick-me-up, Windsor Essex baristas have you covered. And what pairs better with a cozy cup of coffee from your favourite local coffee shop than a book to lose yourself in from your favourite local book store. To celebrate National Barista Day on March 1st weβve created pairings as perfect as a mystery novel and a macchiato.
