Fast Facts:Location: Victoria, BCCoffee Name: The Hudson BlendOrigin: Brazil, Colombian, Indonesia Brew Method: Aeropress The front of the bag. I really dig the colours they used!

Regard Coffee- Home
For an introduction to Regard Coffee (and their amazing cappuccinos) check out my post here. While I was visiting Regard, I picked up some beans to brew at home, and that's what I'll be discussing in this post. The beans I picked up were the Seven Falls variety, a medium/dark Brazilian coffee. My brewing method …
Regard Coffee- Nanaimo
A glimpse at their interior. Located in an unassuming strip mall, Regard is certainly no strip mall coffee- they're doing something really special over there. Walking in, you'd think you were in some hip district in a big city- they've got that kind of vibe going. It's a small space, but they certainly make the …

The Buzz-Nanaimo
I knew I was in for a treat from the moment I was greeted by the chalk outline in front of their door. The Buzz likes to have fun, but in a sophisticated, yet not stuffy way. Their cafe manages to create a very cozy and inviting atmosphere through their use of artwork, seating arrangements, …
Pacific Brimm-Parksville
Just a stones throw from where we were staying, Pacific Brimm was recommended to us based on their food. Of course, I was there for the coffee. The shop looked as though it had potential. There was plenty of character and charm in the decor to go along with a variety of seating options, both …
Shed-Tofino
The Shed To be perfectly honest, I set the bar quite low as I walked up to Shed. Their main focus is on the restaurant side of things (or so I thought). In my experience, regular restaurant coffee is usually fairly pedestrian, and I ordered a latte from Shed, what a risk! But it paid …
