Amazing coffee shop with even better owners!
I was very sorry to hear that Fraser Sneath Coffee was closing just a few months ago as that was my go-to spot for fantastic third-wave coffee in Brandon. Luckily, H Coffee opened soon after to continue providing Brandon with easy access to high end coffee.
Most Canadians are used to coffee with sugar and cream/milk (double double) but an Americano ordered black (nothing in it) with high quality beans like the ones at H Coffee give you natural flavour and sweetness with no sugar necessary. Way healthier in my opinion. They do specialty drinks such as flat whites, lattes, etc just as well as espresso and pour-overs.
The inside is incredibly well decorated and has a similar vibe to great coffee shops in Winnipeg like Thom Bargen and Forth. Makes it a cool place to meet a friend for a chat or hunker down to power through some e-mails or schoolwork.
I encourage anyone in Brandon who is a regular at Starbucks/Tim Hortons/McDonalds to check this spot out and support a local business! Qiaoya Liu and her husband moved all the way from Shanghai, China to start their coffee shop here and love the city of Brandon so I hope we can show them our appreciation for providing Brandon with this service making it a more attractive city to live in.
**For anyone who makes coffee at home, you can purchase Phil and Sebastian as well as Pilot coffee beans and they'll grind them for you....
Read moreI was checking out the area near my hotel stay and found this spot with quite the review score.
I've never had a cup of coffee I liked. Always too bitter or diluted to the point I barely consider it coffee. I thought I'd never enjoy it.
So I figured I'd try this coffee shop and see if the reviews amounted to expertise that could change my view.
After a brief chat in the beautiful environment they've created, I was suggested the mocha. I added a couple of chocolate chip cookies to fill out my experience.
It was wonderful! I still faintly noticed the bitterness, but only because I sought it. The flavour, presentation, and immediatly drinkable temperature made the coffee itself superb. The lovely atmosphere of the spot is quite the welcome bonus, too.
I'm very happy I took a short walk over to experience the first great...
Read moreNot only is this the best coffee in town, hand down it's the best in the province. Not only has Patrick committed hours of training to the craft and art of making coffee (see certificates on the wall) but his passion for coffee is evident in each cup he makes. His wife Choya is extremely friendly and makes great efforts to get to know the regulars which allows people walking through the door to feel like they are coming home. I can't express how fortunate we are to have this caliber of coffee in our town. It's the best place to sit and read a book, catch up with a friend or grab a cup to go run errands. I should add they also have delicious loose leaf...
