The bar area at Good Kid. The space where Good Kid is located has seen a couple iterations of a cafe over the years, none of them overly memorable, so I was excited to see what the team behind Good Kid did with the space. I was blown away by the transition! It's so much …
Midnight Roasters- Home
Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford based Midnight Roasters is fairly new on the coffee scene.

Everything from their branding, location, …

(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 …
