Melriches opens at 6am every day, so usually I’m up at 5am. It doesn’t take me long to get ready when it’s as early in the day as that. One of the first things I do when I get to the cafe is to make sure we’ve got enough cups available for the first morning rush – it can get surprisingly busy and fast even that early – it seems like there are people who can’t wait to get their first sip of coffee of the day and really wake up.
Usually the newspapers turn up by 6.15. Ed the delivery boy drops off a copy of the Sun, Province & Globe and Mail and you can find them on the rack opposite the coffee counter if you’re quick.
