Coffee Talk

Micro everything (breweries, distillers, coffee roasters) is all the rage these days.

Enter Gastown’s Timbertrain Coffee Roasters, opened by three buddies with a passion for strong brews. This spot is all about top quality coffee served in an uber-modern, railway-inspired locale. Enjoy an espresso drink and pastry along the train rail stand-up bar or curl up in a carriage car booth with a drip coffee (prepared at the ‘slow bar’ using the Kalita pour over brewing method). Soon they’ll be serving single-origin coffee from an exclusive cold brew tap.

We’re definitely on board. – Lise Boullard
