If The Coast gave an award for most award-winning, Just Us! (with a location on Barrington and at 5896 Spring Garden, 423-0856) would win hands down, with four wins this year. Their secret to success? “The social awareness we bring forward,” says inventory manager Frani Chandler, referencing the company's commitment to fair trade and environmental causes. “A lot of customers are happy about the social justice. It’s not that you’re just coming for a coffee.” There’s also something to be said for the locally roasted coffee (in Grand Pré), fresh food, and attention to detail. “We strive to give great service,” says Chandler. 1678 Barrington, 422-5651
