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 …
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 …
Commercial Drive Coffee Company- Home
What began in 2010 as a conversation amongst a small group of people, the Commercial Drive Coffee Company has grown tremendously and now boasts six different roasts in their arsenal. Proud to be roasted in East Vancouver, Commercial Drive aims to provide coffee that is reminiscent of the European coffee scene. At the time, they …
Brews Brothers Coffee- Home
Brews Brothers Coffee, established in 2007, has been a fixture in Sierra Vista, Arizona. They boast roughly two dozen different roasts, both decaf and regular, in their impressive lineup. Additionally, they also have a coffee shop, which I have yet to have the pleasure of visiting, but I would love to one day. The roaster, …
Two Bears Coffee-Home
The can of goodness. First a little background. Two Bears Coffee offers sustainable coffee by using quality, direct trade coffee. The beans are then roasted in small batches and then 'flash brewed'. What exactly is flash brewed? Flash brewed coffee is chilled rapidly (hence the 'flash'). It's recommended that you replace some of the water …
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 …
French Press Coffee Roasters- Qualicum Beach
The offerings at the cafe. This place was recommended to me by fellow coffee blogger Tyler of Commonly Coffee (check out his blog here) and it did not disappoint. Located in the charming town of Qualicum Beach, French Press is relatively new on the scene only having been roasting for a couple of years, but …

Creekside Coffee Factory- Langley
The massive bear in question. Creekside Coffee Factory is a mini-chain that has locations in Coquitlam and Langley. As Google Reviewer (and local guide) Tariq wrote, "In the cafe, my experience was okay". I completely agree. That sentence perfectly sums up my experience too. It's Langley location, located in "SmartCentres Langley" aka a suburban paradise, …
PINKAVO Cafe- Langley
The interior of the cafe. PINKAVO had only opened a couple of weeks prior to our visit, but it was clear that they've already made their mark on, not only Langley, but the Valley as a whole. For good reason too, as there's certainly much to love about them. They are huge on community, incredibly …
Rampage Coffee’s New Espresso ‘Ignition’- Home
I love the look of this bag! This week, as the title suggests, I'm discussing the limited edition espresso from Rampage Coffee, 'Ignition'. At the time of writing this post, they were nearly sold out (update: they are now officially SOLD OUT of it). But fear not, they plan to do more limited releases and …
