Services
Coffee Roasting
Our artisanal coffee roasting combines traditional methods with modern precision. We work directly with global growers to source premium beans, employing small-batch roasting techniques that enhance each origin's unique characteristics. From light citrus notes to deep chocolate undertones, our roasting process preserves flavor complexity while maintaining consistent quality standards across all blends.
Private Label
We create customized coffee solutions for businesses seeking branded products. Our private label service includes blend development, packaging design, and volume pricing options. Clients benefit from our 25+ years of expertise in crafting signature profiles that align with their brand identity and customer preferences while maintaining commercial viability.
Fundraising
Our fundraising program provides organizations with high-quality coffee products for resale initiatives. We offer competitive margins, marketing support, and flexible order quantities. The program features specially curated blends that combine social responsibility with financial returns, supporting local non-profits and community groups across Atlantic Canada.
Cold Brew
We produce smooth, low-acidity cold brew using proprietary steeping methods. Our nitro-infused version delivers a creamy texture without dairy additives. The process begins with select medium-dark roasts that develop rich flavor profiles over 12-hour extraction periods, ensuring consistent quality in every batch served at our cafes.
Espresso Bar
Our espresso bars feature signature blends like Espresso Zydeco and Lescarbot. Trained baristas prepare drinks using commercial-grade equipment, maintaining precise temperature and pressure controls. The menu includes seasonal specialties and classic preparations, complemented by fresh baked goods and locally sourced food items in our Moncton location.
