Discovery Coffee- Victoria
Discovery in the park! Discovery Coffee has several locations scattered throughout Victoria and they're busy serving some amazing coffee and roasting some incredible beans!

Hasty Coffee- Home
New on the coffee scene, Hasty Coffee has quickly made a name for themselves in a way not many, if any, other companies have. They've reinvented instant coffee. When the term 'instant coffee' gets thrown around, it can turn many avid coffee drinkers off. Co-founders Jill and Ben have partnered with some amazing Canadian roasters …
Smoking Gun Coffee- Drive-In
It was back in October that I first highlighted Smoking Gun Coffee Roasters on my blog. If you haven't seen that post yet (or just want a refresher) you can find it here. While that was an at home review, this post is a little different. I had the pleasure of visiting Brandon from Smoking …
