Review from Vanessa G.
7/9/2010 5 Check-ins Here
Don't get confused, this is not a cafe where you can hang out and drink your coffee. It's a place to buy your beans and see actual roasting equipment. Situated on Granville Island away from the market, you really wouldn't find this place if it wasn't for word of mouth. They are our official coffee at my office, and the best office coffee i have ever had. They are also going to be a venue for The Fringe Festival, so catch some live theatre and take in the smell of coffee..or just buy some beans. The ones from El Salavdor are very seductive right now.

Review from Crystal H.
Vancouver, BC
Smooth, rich, bright and full bodied... sounds sexy doesn't it? And it is. Roasted on site signals freshness and coming face to face with the equipment and people roasting equals a bean education.
Rules of engagement:
Know what kind of beans you need. Are you a French Press, Drip, or Espresso drinker?
Listen up! The selection is small, but like wine sommelier the staff here know their beans. "Crisp like apples," "More acidic," "If you are taking your coffee with cream..." etc.
Drink up. Take those beans home (don't be worried if they don't bring you to a cash til to pay) grind em, and enjoy... just like I am while writing this.
1lb bags are $15 on the nose.
