Not everyone that goes into a coffee shop is there for a caffeine fix, according to John Krottner.

The co-owner of Pilgrim Coffee House on Sooke Road in Colwood, says that 25 per cent of the customers don’t purchase a caffeinated beverage.

Krottner said at Pilgrim, approximately 10 per cent of customers buy decaffeinated coffee. For some, they may just like the taste and not need that caffeine kick.

He added that roughly 15 per cent of customers only order food. Pilgrim has a variety of food and snacks, including soup, sandwiches, wraps and muffins for people to come in for a meal.

Still, 75 per cent of his customers come in to enjoy a caffeinated beverage.
