Bowen Coffee Store

On a long weekend retreat with my family. Had one of the best coffees in Vancouver — by far the best on the Island.
Highly recommended!

We, the guy I am dating and I in the past few weeks picked up some roast coffee her to work with his new expresso machine. I love the smell of the blend which is earthy. I am a picky coffee drinker and even I appreciated the aroma of the blend. The price is very reasonable.

Cute shop with lots of selection, I bought a few tea’s to bring home with me. Lot’s of beautiful product, next time I’m in town I will buy those bamboo tea cups! :D

So, i had been on silent retreat for… under 24h. OK, not that bad, but i was in great need for strong wicked coffee before the ferry back to civilzation and Bowen Coffee Store… you did me some goooooood!
I asked for an americano in my travel mug and asked him what size he normally did. He said 3 shots but then asked if I liked stronger or weaker… i said stronger for sure but not tar-​like either. He nodded.
What i ended up with was a HUGE americano, strong and wicked. I mean, it was wicked in the pure sense of the word. I actually only drank half and I think a few hairs sprouted from my chest. SOOOOO good! But it was a lot for little olé me. Regardless, I liked the way this man thought. And all I could think was «i could live here».
i will be back.
