About No Go Coffee
About No Go Coffee: Get To Know Us
No Go Coffee started in Karin Rabuka’s small rural kitchen in North Gower, ON. Karin’s dream to one day open a coffeehouse sent her on a quest to learn all she could about coffee, coffee beans, and coffee roasting.
What happened next is the stuff of dreams.
Small batch roasting for friends, family, and her local community quickly grew to a wholesale coffee business, mobile coffee truck, and in 2024 a coffeehouse in Osgoode, ON.
Karin and her team started roasting fair trade, ethically sourced coffee in 2010 – quickly building a reputation across Ottawa and the National Capital Region for high quality, freshness, and friendliness.
Community and Comfort
It all starts with community for us, making a personal connection with you is our priority. We love talking about coffee, finding out about your favourite blends, and learning about you.
Building community connections and offering you a cup of comfort is why we started.
You are the reason why No Go Coffee began.
In our Osgoode coffee shop, you can shop merchandise from local makers including honey, candles, pottery, artwork, and more. All of our coffeehouse treats are baked in-house or ordered from local bakeries.
Eco-Conscious, Organic, and Fair Trade Always
From our coffee roastery to our take-out coffee cups, we prioritize the environment and community.
- Low emissions roaster and afterburner
- Compostable and plant-based No Go Coffee packaging, cups, and containers
- Local farmers and growers use our coffee bean chaff and burlap bags
No Go Coffee is locally- and female-owned, fair trade, and organic.

“No Go Coffee has been one of my go-to places…”
…for connecting with both friends and colleagues, whether it’s the coffee truck (that I will go out of my way to pay a visit to) or holding staff meetings at the Roastery. The No Go Team are knowledgeable and friendly and the coffee is the best! The No Go truck is an appreciated feature of life in the South Ottawa / North Grenville area, seeming to magically appear wherever “community” is happening.
