Last night, I heard a line on TV that made me laugh out loud: “No one under 25 drinks coffee anymore,” says a 1960s-era accounts executive in the second season of Mad Men (I’m just catching up on DVD). “Just Pepsi. They pour it on their Frosted Flakes.” How times have changed. It’s hard to

A fabulously creative customer decided to create a short fast-motion film of enjoying a cheesecake at Trees cafe on Granville. “Cheesecake gobble, gobble cheesecake, munchin’ on a cheesecake.” In case you were curious, here’s the original for that tune, courtesy of the immortal Louis Armstrong:
Vancouver is a cold, cliquey kind of town? Really? Don’t believe it.

The holiday season is a time of good cheer, but those in Vancouver who are living on the margins still need the help of their neighbors. Trees Organic café was proud to provide cheesecake dessert and coffee for the Christmas dinner of La Bousolle (The Compass), a Vancouver-based community support and welfare center serving francophones who are poor and facing multiple barriers.
This organization is the only francophone non-profit in Vancouver serving those in need of housing, legal aid, employment, social intervention and mental health supports. Thanks again to everyone who volunteered to help make the holiday season in Vancouver a great time for everyone.
At Trees Organic, we roast our own organic fair-trade coffee beans. How do we do it? Café owner Doron Levy roasts beans right in the café on Granville Street several times a week. He shows how it’s done.
Trees Organic uses a commercial-quality Probat coffee roaster to ensure that the best beans get the treatment they deserve. After all, we work hard to source organic coffee beans from around the world that meet our customer’s standards.
First, Doron puts fresh beans into the top of the roaster in a part called the hopper. He sets the temperature he wants and when the thermometer gage says it’s ready, he drops the beans in by turning a lever.
Once the coffee beans are in the roaster drum, baffles turn the beans so that the roasting will happen evenly. This is important to ensure a uniform taste for the batch. Think of it the same way as clothes tumble in a dryer.
All fans of our coffeehouses and lovers of our award-winning cheesecake are invited to an anniversary party at Trees Organic cafes in Gastown (Vancouver) and Richmond. Our Gastown location is having its second anniversary and our Richmond café is turning lucky seven!

This year we wanted to get you something special for Christmas. We’re excited, because we got our hands on some beautiful Sidamo coffee beans from Ethiopia, where coffee was first discovered by a 9th-century Ethiopian goat herder.
The beans came in on Tuesday and we roasted our first five-kilo batch on Wednesday in our Granville Street Roasting House Thursday we had our first coffee cupping. We fell in love. It has medium body with some subtle brightness and chocolaty tones. It’s got great balance and nice length. Our Ethiopian Sidamo beans create a cup that is hard to put down.
What does single origin coffee mean?
Coffee is like wine, origin matters. These beans are from Sidamo in Southwest Ethiopia. Of the Arabica varietal.
How did we roast the Ethiopian Sidamo coffee beans?
This batch was roasted medium dark to make sure we don’t cover up some of the beautiful fruity notes or the chocolaty notes. The beauty of small batch roasting is that we can make a slightly different roast in our next batch a few days later. Variety is the spice of live. Roasting is an art.
Why are we highlighting Ethiopia Sidamo beans for the holidays?
Christmas is a time of giving and Ethiopia sure needs some help. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. When we buy fair trade organic coffee from Ethiopia, we support local growers and their families.
Where is Sidamo?
You’re invited to the Yaletown Mini-Market at Trees Organic Coffee and Roasting House in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighborhood (1391 Richards Street, at the corner of Richards and Pacific) on special days through November and December.
Check out some unique holiday gift ideas and and support your local creative entrepreneurs, jewelry makers and other artisans.
Already thinking about gifts for the holiday season? If you’ve got a Christmas, Chanukah, or New Year’s bash coming up (and that pretty much covers all of us, unless you’re not planning on entering 2012) and want to give back to your friends and family, we’ve got some coffee-bean scented holiday gift ideas:

Cheesecake for dessert!The whole family has come over for the holidays and they’re hungry. Spoil them with Vancouver’s best cheesecake. Everybody loves cheesecake – even little Timmy, who can’t be bothered to finish his yams. We serve it up in seven flavors, including the Sin (Belgian chocolate and sour cherries), blueberry, mocha, key lime, the classic New York style, plus the flavor of the season: Chocolate Orange!
On a winter morning the day after the big party, wake yourself up with some organic fair trade coffee beans from the best coffee-growing regions on the planet. We’ve got beans from Peru, Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Sumatra and more. Ask our café baristas to recommend the perfect beans for your special someone, whether they prefer something with full flavor, spice, smokiness or hints of flavor like chocolate.
French press is a popular and gourmet-style way to make coffee. Fans of the French press will swear by the boldness and flavor it brings out of coffee beans. While it’s seen by some coffee aficionados as a fancy cup of coffee, making it is actually a pretty straightforward process!
Here’s how you make French Press coffee:
Trees Organic barista Irene took a few moments out of her busy day so she could tell us what it’s like working in the heart of Vancouver’s café culture. Thanks, Irene!
Tell us a little about yourself.
Trees Organic serves up coffee with beans from all around the world, from Latin America to the far reaches of Asia. The flavor you get in your cup depends on where it was grown and under what conditions. Just as wine comes in all kinds of vintages for you to compare, you can taste different kinds of coffee and enjoy a wide range of subtle differences.
Coffee Beans. A Matter of Taste

“Trees Organic Coffee & Roasting House is a nice relaxing café serving good quality coffee and some pretty yummy treats. After much consideration, Chris and I finally decided on which two cheesecakes to try – the Sin and the Blueberry. The Sin Cheesecake is made with Belgian chocolate and sour cherries. At first, I was a bit hesitant to try this one because I’m not a big fan of sour cherries. However, this cake is rightfully named for being “sinfully” delicious. The sweet and tart cherries gave the cheesecake a good level of moisture, making the cake just that much more fluffy. And the chocolate made the cake super smooth and silky. The consistency and sweetness of the cheesecake was just perfect! Mmmm, yummy!”
First, about the scones:
“While Trees doesn’t have any vegan cheesecake, it does sell a vegan scone. And a fine scone it is, too. It seems to have the flavour of both a cinnamon-sugar donut and a cinnamon roll. Packed with pumpkin seeds, raisins, and dried apricots, it’s made with whole-wheat flour, so it packs quite an iron-rich punch. It also has a perfect moistness and texture that would convince any scone aficionado that it wasn’t vegan.”
Our beverages also seemed to be a hit (well, you’d kind of hope so! We’re a café, after all):
“While we’re discussing lattes, we’d like to say that whatever blend Trees uses for its decaf lattes is quite nice.”
“I only discovered Trees recently, as they have a small, but fresh, menu. Their specialty is cheesecake, and supposedly the best in Vancouver. But they also make homemade quiche, soup, and huge variety of unique sandwiches and baked goods.”
So far, so good. And our quiche and sandwiches have a lot of personality:
“The quiche comes in two types: Ham & Cheddar or Spinach & Feta. Simple maybe, but boring no. The crust is homemade and it comes with a small side salad that has dried cranberries, pumpkin & sunflower seeds. The sandwiches, which I have yet to try, are on fresh baguettes, warmed and with unique ingredients, such as Bocconcini, Tomato & Basil, or a vegetarian with Chevre, Basil, Capers and Roasted Pepper.”

Trees Organic Coffee & Roasting House goes ‘uptown’ to Yaletown
The weather is finally getting nice and if you’re like me that means it’s the beginning of the much dreaded bathing suit season! I’d attempted to start yet another diet in anticipation of an upcoming pool party when I was faced with a major dilemma. Trees brought back its mango cheesecake for the summer and as a PR consultant for the cafe, I needed to try it if I was going to start promoting it.
As a young girl I got so excited about Easter. I loved the anticipation of spring, the Easter Bunny’s arrival and the marizpan treats my Oma would bring.
Growing up with a part German heritage, it just wouldn’t be Easter without marizpan for me. The sugary almond flavoured confection that is often shaped into Easter eggs and Easter bunnies is also incredibly delicious in cakes and covered with chocolate.
On Monday, March 16 Trees’ baker Andres Salas showed off his killer baking skills and adorable personality on City TV’s Lunch TV. Andres was a hit but the real star was the Irish Cream Cheesecake, made especially for St. Patrick’s Day. Here’s the secret (or not so secret) recipe for you to try at home! YUM!
It’s crisp on this early morning in Vancouver, and the Canada Line sky train crew has already been hard at work for hours just steps outside the doors of the Granville street cafe. I’m cold, my head is pounding and all I need is my morning fix to get this day off to a better start.
Recently Tasting Vancouver and the Vancouver Sun reviewed Trees Coffee and gave us a glowing review noting our renowned made-to-order sandwiches and cheesecake.
