Coffee Crawling Through Vancouver

June 8, 2011

Posted by:

A couple of us from the office recently went on a café crawl visiting local coffee shops in Vancouver to enjoy great coffee.

We visited Moja Coffee, Café Crema, Elysian Coffee on Broadway, and Kafka’s Coffee & Tea. Each coffee shop had personality offering an unique décor and ambiance and all the baristas were super friendly.

At every establishment, we ordered an espresso, a cappuccino, and a couple brewed coffees. We enjoyed coffee from a variety of brew methods including the pour over, french press, syphon pot, and aeropress. At some shops, we ordered the same coffee brewed using 2 different methods. I was surprised at how much of an impact and noticeable taste difference the brew method had on the coffee.

We tried a variety of single origin coffees but my favorite was an Ethiopian coffee that smelled and tasted just like fresh blueberries. Another highlight was a cup of cappuccino that was so delectable and sweet I could drink it all day.

It was definitely a fun way to compare coffees and expand my palate. My next stop, the Commerical Drive neighborhood — looking forward it!
