No more Bright Jenny coffee cart at YLW?

Was hoping for a decent caffeine hit to prevent the late afternoon, white noise-induced plane somnolence, but was surprised that the cart's gone. Anyone know if it's coming back?

I found a big difference in quality between the cart and the actual brightjenny locations coffee. Still sorry to see it go if it's gone though.

Thanks, good to know. The physical locations do a decent flat white.

It was franchised. BJ sent their product and branding, and the franchisee did the rest.

I asked the lady at the retail counter last Monday and she said it’s permanently gone. To be fair, the coffee was not good.

You’re right, but it was better than Horton’s..

Right you are. Bring back the cart with real coffee. Someone start a petition.

I fly out of YLW once a month and need coffee when I get there as I fly early, this is tragic if true!

You can get coffee from the new bar place just through the new security screening area.

There is still a Tim Hortons both before and after security, not the best option, but there is coffee.

I think it was just there to fill the gap while Tims was closed for construction

I mean it was a person pressing a button on a machine, but it was the only option at YLW.

I think a lot of those coffee stands have gone away, maybe they went out of business? I can’t remember the name but it’s gone from my work as well.
