Hey Happy has been on my list of shops to try for quite some time, so I was pretty stoked to be able to finally check them out. They have a great space downtown. It's very bright and inviting, but also cozy and laid back at the same time. Unfortunately they were packed when I …
Grays Cafe- Sidney
Grays is a relatively new cafe on the scene and I recently got the chance to check them out and see what they were up to. They have a great little space and they certainly make the most of it! It's a great, bright space that serves some really solid coffee. I ordered myself a …
Smoking Gun Cafe- Chilliwack
Now, those of you who have been around the blog for a while, the name Smoking Gun probably sounds familiar as I've talked about them a couple times over the years (man that makes me sound old haha). Anyway, if you need a refresher, or you missed those posts, you can find them here. In …
“DejaBrew”- Model Bean Coffee Co.
Of the two coffees that Kelowna based Model Bean sent over, this was the lightest. I'm always intrigued by light roasts, because I feel like they always seem to have a surprise up their non-existent sleeves (in the best way possible, of course). So I was excited to dive into this Colombian offering from them. …
The Palm Coffee Trailer- Abbotsford
To start this review off, I have to ask the question- why does all the cool stuff happen in my hometown after I move away?! Haha. The Palm is a prime example. I've been excited to try out their offerings ever since they launched and was finally able to make that happen when I was …

A few weeks back, I got the chance to check out one of Pallet Coffee's cafes in Vancouver. I was incredibly impressed with them and knew that I needed to try some of the coffee that they roast. So, in quick fashion, I placed an order for a couple bags. This coffee was a sample …
Habit Coffee- Victoria
Habit Coffee has been on my list of places to try for quite some time now, so I was incredibly jazzed that I was finally able to hit them up. Long story short, they did not disappoint. The vibe was good, the people were great, and above all, the coffee was fantastic! I decided to …
Pallet Coffee- Vancouver
Happy 2022! I hope you all had a great new year. Welcome back to another year of reviews and coffee talk. Let's dive in. On a snowy morning, I headed to the Oak Street location (shout out!) of Pallet Coffee. I didn't stick around, opting to take my cortado to-go, but I did make note …
My Top 5 Roasters of 2021
Welcome to part two of my year end recap, where I look back on some of my favourite roasters of 2021. I tried A LOT of different coffees this year, so this list was really hard to put together, but I did the hard work and came up with my list- enjoy! 5) Single Village …
My Top 5 Coffee Shops of 2021
It's hard to believe that another year is almost in the books, and a crazy one at that. This year, I didn't make it to as many new coffee shops as I had hoped, but, looking back, I still enjoyed the shops I did visit. Without further ado, here are my top 5 favourite coffee …
