Ontario's Horror Themed Cafe Is The Spookiest Spot To Sip Coffee This Season

Coffee to die for. 💀
Lead Writer, Travel

You don't need to go to a haunted house in order to get spooked this season. You'll feel as though you've stepped into a horror movie at this creepy cafe. With frightfully delicious drinks and eerie decor, you can sip your way into spooky season at Ontario's Deadly Grounds Cafe.

You'll be shaking from more than just a caffeine high at this unnerving venue.

Lurking in Courtice, just outside of Oshawa, the Deadly Grounds Cafe And Curiosities will add an extra shot of scariness to your day.

The horror-themed venue serves up all sorts of drinks and food that will get you in the mood for Halloween.

The unique shop is brimming with creepy decor, and you can find paintings and statues of characters from some of your favourite scary movies.

The cafe opened in 2015, and you can enjoy fancy lattes, meals, and spine-tingling brews in a haunting atmosphere.

The menu consists of fresh bagels, baked goods, and more. You can even indulge in skull-shaped muffins.

You can sip flavoured lattes that are anything but frightening. Some flavours shared on Instagram include White Zombie (white chocolate mocha) and Peanut Blooder (peanut butter mocha with whip, Skor bits and red drizzle).

The roasts are available to purchase online as well, and with names like Wasteland and SnickerBrutal, you can start your morning in the spookiest way possible.

The hot chocolate and tea are equally scary and come in flavours like Ripper Street Bourbon Vanilla Tea Latte and Rocky Horror Spice Pumpkin and Vanilla Tea Latte.

If this isn't enough to give you the chills, you can visit some real-life haunted places around Ontario this fall.

Fill up on sweet treats and Halloween vibes at Ontario's horror-themed cafe this season.
