EDIBLE BC (2011)
I was part of the first generation crew for this awesome little restaurant on Granville Island that focuses on local ingredients and products. Unfortunately the coffee bar wasn't as popular as was predicted and was downsized, but I had a great time with some great folks while it lasted!
BEAN SCENE COFFEE WORKS (2008-2011)
My last company that I worked for is a super rad place ran by a couple of super rad coffee freaks, and operated by a bunch of rad, professionally casual baristas and baristos. We are exclusively Kelowna's local provider of artisan traditional espresso drinks, as well as Kelowna's original home of latte art. We roast our own organic beans, bake all our own goodies, and pull our own shots! We go for local and organic as much as we can, and quality provided. We use organic syrups in our flavored drinks, and locally made ingredients in our baked goods. If you ever find your self in Kelowna, beautiful British Columbia, I insist you drop by one of our two locations; Downtown on Bernard Ave. right by the beach, or in Rutland on Rutland Rd. and Hwy 33.
