FUNK. Coffee Bar - Where Butterflies & Craft Coffee Collide π¦β
Nestled in the heart of the city at 1025 Dunsmuir Street, FUNK. Coffee Bar is House of Funk Brewing & Roasting's love letter to specialty coffee. This isn't your average cafΓ© - it's a flavor laboratory where single-origin beans from Latin America, Africa, and Asia undergo small-batch, temperature-controlled roasting to highlight their natural fruit acidity, nutty aromas, and chocolatey sweetness. πβ¨ Their light-to-medium roast philosophy (with experimental fermentation processes like natural/honey processing!) creates cups that taste like liquid terroir. The team sources directly from farmers, ensuring transparency and quality in every sip. It's coffee with both a conscience and a personality - much like the swarm of symbolic butterflies that recently caught my attention downtown... (After watching Xu Zhiyuan's profound interview with Lin Xiaoying about China's education system - where she critiques how standardized testing strips individuality and breeds utilitarian mindsets - her words "Uselessness is of great use" lingered. Seeing those butterflies reminded me: There's always hope beyond rigid systems. At FUNK., that hope tastes like perfectly brewed rebellion.) β Our Coffee Verdict: POUR OVER: Mind-blowing smoky notes - a must for complex flavor chasers! π₯ LATTE: Unusually bold bitterness (rare for light roasts!), though bean aroma could be stronger. π€ π FUNK. Coffee Bar 1025 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver π¦ Why It Flutters Above: β Direct-trade, traceable beans β Small-batch roasting = maximum freshness β Experimental processing methods β Thought-provoking space (literally & metaphorically) #CoffeeCulture #VancouverCafes #SpecialtyCoffee #ThirdWaveCoffee #COTD #VancouverLife #BrewedWithPurpose #CoffeeTherapy #HouseOfFunk
