109 Cafe Roasting Studio

the single origin pour-over is a good place to start if you're unsure, but the espresso-based drinks here have a following for a reason. 109 cafe roasting studio sits on government street, which puts it in the thick of victoria's downtown core, close enough to the inner harbour that you'll likely pass it whether you're wandering or commuting. what separates a roasting studio from a standard cafe is the sourcing attention that happens before a bean ever meets heat, and that focus tends to show in the cup without anyone having to tell you. regulars here clearly feel the difference, and the word-of-mouth runs strong. if you make it in on a weekday morning, the pour-over is worth the extra few minutes of wait.
