Normally, most of us groan and complain when Monday rolls around, but the folks behind Hey Monday! are doing a great job of changing how I feel about Monday. The enthusiasm in their branding matches the enthusiasm that they pour into every single bean that they roast. Recently they sent me a bag of their …
Red Raccoon Coffee- Brandy Aged Coffee
This year, I seem to have had quite a few infused coffees (not that I'm complaining), but up to this point, I haven't tried a brandy aged coffee. Thanks to Red Raccoon Coffee, I can cross that off the list now. Based in the Vancouver area, Red Raccoon is brand new on the coffee scene, …
Hullabaloo Coffee Truck
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Hullabaloo coffee truck located next to the Red Barn (which is a very cool store in its own right). They have a pretty neat set up with a few tables in a fairly quiet local. Being that it was a beautiful fall afternoon when I went, they …
Fullstrong Coffee II- “Bordeaux”
Welcome to the second part of my Fullstrong Coffee series. For part one, you can find that through this link. In this edition, I had the opportunity to sample their "Bordeaux" blend- a darker blend.

Stick in the Mud- Home
Stick in the Mud located on beautiful Vancouver Island has been doing their thing since all the way back in 2007! I got the opportunity to try their Swallow dark roast blend. Overall, I was quite impressed with this coffee. The aroma was filled with chocolate notes as well as a slight hint of smokiness …
Red Wine Infused Coffee- Infusion Cask
Welcome back to the final installment of my Infusion Cask Infused Coffee series. This week I was able to try their red wine infused beans. As with the previous infused coffees I've tried from them (of which you can find the whisky infused post here and the rum infused one here) this was another solid …
Beach Camp Coffee Co.- Botanical Bold Roast
Welcome to the second part of my Beach Camp Coffee Co. series. If you missed part one, you can check that out here. In this edition, I check out Beach Camp's Botanical Bold Roast. As you know, traditionally, I would never have considered myself a dark roast guy. However, over the course of the past …

Quince Cafe- Sidney
Sidney, BC. A beautiful little town by the ocean. It makes for a stunning background upon which to drink your coffee. Recently, I took a jaunt up there to check out Quince Cafe. Quince has been around for about five years now and they are located just a short stroll from the beach. Thanks to …
