Hey guys! Did you miss Part I detailing my overall experience at Beanstock 2019? Not to worry, click here to check that out. If not, welcome to Part II, nice to have you here. In this second installment, I will be exploring my three favourite roasters from Beanstock 2019. Let's dive in! Thanks Agro for …
Beanstock 2019-Part I
View from the stage. Beanstock. A gathering of almost 30 independent roasters and over 2,000 people over the course of two short days. In other words, a coffee lover's dream. It was a great experience and one I won't soon forget. This year, I had the pleasure of attending the first session of Beanstock via …
Driftaway Coffee-Home
Located in New York, Driftaway Coffee has been in the coffee subscription business (although their coffee is also available without one as well) for close to a decade now. I was first introduced to their coffee about six or seven months ago, and I've completely fallen in love with them. With that in mind, prepare …
My Experience with Gas Station Coffee
Yes, you read the title right, I indulged in a cup of gas station coffee (the things I do for you guys) and below I've detailed my experience. Spoiler alert: after drinking this, I appreciate the specialty coffee I've had at local shops much, much more. On the way to the gas station I kept …
Decades-Chilliwack
Opening it's doors in 1998, Decades Coffee Club has been serving a variety of not only coffee beverages, but a smattering of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan food options as well. Their shop is quaint, with a very relaxed vibe to it that invites you to come in and make yourself at home. The second level …
Smoking Gun Coffee-Home
Located on 1st Avenue in Mission, B.C. (actually attached to beloved local coffee shop, The Penny), Smoking Gun Coffee Roasters has been specializing in ethically sourced, small-batch coffee since 2015. I've always been a fan of their coffee as they always taste that they've been thoughtfully produced. You can tell that they put a lot …
The Polly Fox-Abbotsford
Their charming logo. Located in charming Downtown Abbotsford, The Polly Fox is slightly different than your average cafe in that everything they serve is 100% gluten-free. Now, as delicious as their baked goods are (their banana bread is amazing), my focus remains on the coffee aspect of the cafe. For starters, the staff at The …
Interview with Tyler, author of TheBloom
This is Tyler. Hey guys! So, if you hadn't guessed from the title, the blog this week is going to take on a slightly different format. This week we are talking with Tyler, a former Vancouverite now based out of Calgary, creator of TheBloom blog (links and the like will be below, he's well worth …
The Penny-Mission
A charming cafe nestled in the middle of 1st Avenue in Mission, B.C, The Penny has what I would describe as a "relaxed, yet hip" vibe to it. When you walk in, the outside hustle and bustle is all but forgotten. You are almost teleported to a more quiet, calming version of the street. It …
Goats on Roof- Home
This entry will be a little different then my standard reviews. This coffee, the Billy Gruff blend, is a coffee that I've been drinking at home as of late. Feel free to leave some feedback/comments on what you think of this type of post below. I picked this variety up while on a camping trip …
