Brewing Hope and Connection: A New Chapter for 2025

2024 marks another chapter in the story of The Mister Brewer—a dream that has grown into a calling.

To me, coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s family, connection, and strength. When my uncles, Joe and Franco Sottile, passed away, it was the hardest time my family had ever faced. Coffee became more than a drink—it brought us together. Around the table, with steaming mugs in hand, we shared stories, tears, and laughter. It reminded us that even in loss, we could find strength in one another.

That’s where I discovered my purpose: to bring people together, to honour those we’ve lost, and to create a movement of love and change.

The Mister Brewer was born from that purpose. Inspired by the care my uncles received at Brampton Civic Hospital, I set out to build a coffee company that would spark connection, make a difference, and unite a community. Together, we’ve raised over $6300 for the William Osler Health System Foundation and shown that one purpose can bring people together.

To my incredible partners and supporters—thank you for making this dream your own. As we move forward, let’s continue to brew more than coffee. Let’s brew hope, connection, and change.

With love and purpose,
Anthony Lombardo
