Well, well well... Hello there, dear reader. What's it been, almost four years since you've heard from me? It's so true when they say that time flies. Now, I'm sure you have some questions for me- namely what have I been up to? Why am I back? And what can you expect from me moving …
Yirgacheffe- Red Racoon Coffee
Well, well, well, it's been a little while since I've done one of these. Before I try and stumble through my first review in some time, I just wanted to say thanks for reading! It means a lot that people still read my blog even though I've been away for awhile. Anyway, a few weeks …
Hey Happy Coffee- Victoria
Hey Happy has been on my list of shops to try for quite some time, so I was pretty stoked to be able to finally check them out. They have a great space downtown. It's very bright and inviting, but also cozy and laid back at the same time. Unfortunately they were packed when I …
Grays Cafe- Sidney
Grays is a relatively new cafe on the scene and I recently got the chance to check them out and see what they were up to. They have a great little space and they certainly make the most of it! It's a great, bright space that serves some really solid coffee. I ordered myself a …
Smoking Gun Cafe- Chilliwack
Now, those of you who have been around the blog for a while, the name Smoking Gun probably sounds familiar as I've talked about them a couple times over the years (man that makes me sound old haha). Anyway, if you need a refresher, or you missed those posts, you can find them here. In …
“DejaBrew”- Model Bean Coffee Co.
Of the two coffees that Kelowna based Model Bean sent over, this was the lightest. I'm always intrigued by light roasts, because I feel like they always seem to have a surprise up their non-existent sleeves (in the best way possible, of course). So I was excited to dive into this Colombian offering from them. …
The Palm Coffee Trailer- Abbotsford
To start this review off, I have to ask the question- why does all the cool stuff happen in my hometown after I move away?! Haha. The Palm is a prime example. I've been excited to try out their offerings ever since they launched and was finally able to make that happen when I was …
Diego Rubelo (Costa Rica)- Pallet Coffee
A few weeks back, I got the chance to check out one of Pallet Coffee's cafes in Vancouver. I was incredibly impressed with them and knew that I needed to try some of the coffee that they roast. So, in quick fashion, I placed an order for a couple bags. This coffee was a sample …
Habit Coffee- Victoria
Habit Coffee has been on my list of places to try for quite some time now, so I was incredibly jazzed that I was finally able to hit them up. Long story short, they did not disappoint. The vibe was good, the people were great, and above all, the coffee was fantastic! I decided to …
Pallet Coffee- Vancouver
Happy 2022! I hope you all had a great new year. Welcome back to another year of reviews and coffee talk. Let's dive in. On a snowy morning, I headed to the Oak Street location (shout out!) of Pallet Coffee. I didn't stick around, opting to take my cortado to-go, but I did make note …
