Ottawa's #1 Weekly Restaurant Publication

Affordable local print advertising that gets seen—again and again.

What is Coffee News Ottawa?

Coffee News is Ottawa's friendly little brown paper—a free, weekly publication found in restaurants, coffee shops, waiting rooms, hotels, libraries, and lobbies across the city.

Each week, thousands of Ottawa residents pick up Coffee News to enjoy uplifting content, fun trivia, horoscopes, and local business advertising. It's the perfect companion for morning coffee, lunch breaks, or while waiting for an appointment.

Unlike traditional newspapers or magazines, Coffee News stays on tables and counters all week long, giving advertisers repeated exposure to engaged readers in a relaxed, receptive environment.
