Brûlerie Du Vieux Ste-Rose — Restaurant in Laval (administrative region)

I have been looking for a good roaster near me and following my experience with this Brulerie's coffee, my search for good coffee is far from over.

I ordered a 440g bag of House Espresso. I own a Breville Dual Boiler and a Breville Smart Grinder so naturally I kept the beans whole. The cost of the bag was just shy of 19$, so I expected a fresh roast that would compete with other coffee-shop brands sold in that price bracket (49 Parrallel, Bows and Arrows, and the like). The barista assured me that the coffee had been roasted the Thursday prior to my purchase (making the coffee only 5 days old).

My disappointment was almost immediate upon opening the bag at home. The coffee was over-roasted, oily and black as tar. The smell emanating from the bag was anything but delicate and these factors alone should have stopped me from even putting the beans in my grinder.

Try instead serious roasters such as BBCR / pilot / Saint-Henri etc. I Hope they modernize their practices we are not in the 90's anymore!! Serve as a warning to all clients google it oily black beans are a sign of...

Lovely heritage coffee shop in the village of saint rose, owner and staff are very customer oriented. Pat even showed us the roasting process of fresh beans, I’ve never experienced a lesson in coffee anywhere! It was amazing! The coffee was perfection and the croissants were so fresh, I felt like I was in a tiny village in France. I would say having a coffee at this location is an experience and a great way to spend...
