September 6, 2018 - Independent coffee shop Grinder Coffee in Toronto has been campaigning on social media to get Ryan Gosling to stop in for a cup of coffee while he's in town for TIFF.
- Owner of Grinder Coffee, Joelle Murray, says in this video that the campaign is to "promote spots outside of the entertainment district or Yorkville."
- The coffee shop had previously unsuccessfully campaigned for Idris Elba to stop by.
Looks like our man is in town and ready for some coffee. Just to let you know
#ryangosling we pay for half your Uber ride.

September 10, 2018 The campaign worked!
And this happened...
#ryanneedsgrinder worked. The man himself showed up. What a good sport, a well brought up Canadian boy. We truly appreciate Ryan taking the time the time to visit us during
#tiff. Take that
@idriselba your loss.

September 11, 2018 So sure enough, Ryan Gosling actually ends up visiting her shop today. In her words, “he just showed up and told me he saw the whole campaign, I told him next time he comes for dinner and a playdate.”
Oh, and I also asked her how he smelled, and she said, “really good!”
7/9
