BBCR.ca

gatineau's specialty coffee scene has its own pace, quieter than the river-crossers might expect, and the roasters who've committed to this side of the outaouais tend to build something loyal rather than loud. bbcr.ca, out on rue de vernon in gatineau, is one of those places. it's an independent roaster operating from a unit at 595 rue de vernon, and if you're specifically tracking down small-batch canadian roasters, this address keeps coming up. the regulars here aren't casual about it, either. people return with the kind of consistency that says something about what they're getting, not just where they're going. worth finding your way out to the j9j end of gatineau for a bag of their beans on a weekday morning.
