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
Ever been on an Easter Egg hunt? The upcoming Easter holiday is a time of rebirth and renewal where Canadians spend with family; many of us have enjoyed the more fun traditions we now associate with this time of year; egg-decorating, eating chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs and – maybe the most popular part for
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. There are 713 groups on Meetup.com in the Vancouver area alone, along with dozens of events listed on Facebook and over 1,000 local professional networking groups on LinkedIn. Our Yaletown, Gastown, Richmond and Granville cafes are the perfect cozy locations for your next
Every Thursday and Friday night on Trees Café in Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, local musical greats sing and play their hearts out on a very intimate live music stage. Musician John Pippus rounds up the talent for these evenings of coffeehouse revelry and occasionally takes a spot on stage himself to entertain the caffeinated
Have you tried any of our teas from around the world at our cafes? Or to put it another way, did you know we even served all kinds of great teas from around the world? There’s a great scene from the delightful film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World that portrays very well the gulf of
Trees Organic Coffee and Roasting House is taking part in the Taste BC Fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital. Take a quick poll on Facebook and you could win tickets to the big event! We’re giving away two sets of two tickets worth $100 each. (One entry per person).
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.
