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 …
Merci Coffee- Chilliwack
Merci's logo. Well Chilliwack, you're officially two for two on coffee trucks. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Matt and Jess (owners and operators of Merci) with my Jess (spooky, I know). Coffee people, for the most part, are a friendly bunch, and Matt and Jess are no exception. We had the opportunity to …
Coffee Shop vs. Coffee Truck
I feel as though it's safe to say that we are all familiar with the traditional coffee shop. I'm sure we all have our favourites, and I'm equally as sure that you've most likely been to more than one. But how about coffee trucks? This is something that, and correct me if I'm wrong, is …

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. Before diving into the coffee itself, I …
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! Again, with the way things are surrounding COVID-19, I didn't get the full on cafe experience. Rather, I got to order at the designated window. But hey, it looked like a …
Caffe Fantastico- Victoria
Part of the interior of the cafe. Caffe Fantstico, a Victoria staple since 1998, has three locations throughout Victoria. I visited The Roastery location while I was there. Obviously, due to Covid-19, I didn't get the full atmosphere experience. But from the peek I got inside, it seemed very warm and cozy. It was also …
Conversation with Morgan from Notepad Coffee
Do you remember the kind of things you were doing when you were nine? I was probably still picking my nose and falling down stairs. Pretty much the exact opposite of nine year old Calgarian, Morgan. For years, Morgan has had a love for coffee, so much so that he's started his own coffee company …
