The Latest From SG

Welcome to our blog! Yes! blogging is still a thing! For us it is at least.

We wanted a place to share all of the fun things that happen behind-the-scenes here in our Chilliwack Cafe and Roastery. We post new articles about three times a month and you can find brew tips, info about our coffee and coffee in general. We also like to share hot tips and goss about what's going on in the Fraser Valley and fun things to do. We also post some recipes and ideas for how to take your home coffee sipping experience to the next level.

Please explore and comment and if there's any topics you want us to dive into on our blog, reach out to us here.

If you're specifically looking for brew tips, check out our Brew Guide.
