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 …
Common Good Ice Cream Lounge- Abbotsford
You may be asking yourself, "Matt, why are you reviewing an ice cream shop on your coffee blog?". Now that's a fair question, but it just so happens that they also serve coffee, so it'll all make sense, I promise. Opening late last month, Common Good is located in Historic Downtown Abbotsford and has been …
Midnight Roasters- Home
Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford based Midnight Roasters is fairly new on the coffee scene. However, after trying their coffee, and meeting with founder Josh, I have no doubt that Midnight Roasters has what it takes to make it big in the coffee game.

2019 in Review-Part II
Well friends, just like that 2019 is almost in the books. Although I just started this blog in August, I've been to a lot of great coffee shops and experienced some awesome coffee. To wrap up the year, I thought it would be fun to take a look back and talk more about three of …
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 …
Oldhand Coffee-Abbotsford
I love Oldhand's logo design. If you're looking for one of Abbotsford's most hipster-centric locations, Oldhand is your place. And even if that's not your scene, it's still worth dashing in to get yourself one of their delicious hand-crafted drinks or baked goods. Now, Oldhand is a place that is near and dear to my …
