Manager Melissa Dass says the free coffee copycat came into the Ottawa restaurant Thursday morning and made a similar gesture.
Customers paying it forward for coffees are seen fairly regularly at her location, but Dass says she’s never seen such a large amount paid before.

Edmonton’s Good Samaritan was described by staff as being in his mid to late 20s, but no description of Ottawa’s version has been given.
Dass says the man wanted to remain anonymous and the store will respect his wishes.
