I am professional athlete from Vancouver and have been getting my beans and coffee from Lynn and connected minds for close to 10 years now. And wouldn’t think to get them from anywhere else. I have had competitions across the world, and the first thing I do before I pack to leave is make sure I have fresh beans from Lynn. I’ve had connected minds coffee on 3 different continents and once I’m out.. Connected minds is my first stop before I head home. I kid you not.. there have been times where I have spent years abroad for sport and every morning I thought about how I couldn’t wait to get home to have “my” beans from Lynn.In my line of work you get to a certain tier of professionalism and competition where the margin of error for success and failure is very small. The demand and pressure to deliver success on you is high. So much so that even the slightest factors that can give you even a 0.01% edge over your competitor, you seek after to take advantage of. This can express itself through supplements, mental training, extra recovery etc..When travelling on the road so much, for many professional athletes, a routine is something that helps them to develop consistency and gain an advantage. When you are living in a hotel week to week, there isn’t a lot that you can control. So familiarity can be calming. Coffee is unique in that it naturally has became a cornerstone in building routines for professional athletes all over sport- myself included. Connected minds and their coffee have been and will always be a pillar in my routine and my sports career. They have been with me from the beginning when I was just an amateur athlete and they have been by my side all the way to the professional level.If you are serious about coffee you need to be serious with yourself and get your beans from Connected minds. If you want to be your best, you have to give yourself the best, and connected minds are just that. The best. They are unmatched. - Plus they deliver ;)

Cody Slevin
The owner knows what he's doing and is a very humble and nice guy

They only sell coffee now, but it's very good coffee at a very good price. Keep in mind it is generally roasted the day you order it so let it rest a few days before you make coffee. It's worth the wait! I've had very quick deliveries so far.

It says they are open Sundays and it was dark and locked. At 11:30am.

Ordered light roast Ethiopian specialty coffee beans. Order was delivered on time and had been roasted the same day. Took camping on the weekend and brewed nicely in our French press. Delicious coffee, lived up to my expectations. Will be ordering more from Connected Minds, thanks!

They bring me coffee. They do it fast, and it is really good coffee. Always! I owe them my life.
Amanda Green
The absolute best place for freshly roasted coffee beans. They made me a coffee person! The beans are consistently excellent quality, the service is fantastic, and it's always a joy to come in and visit these lovely people who are both passionate and skilled. Support local! No chain holds a candle to them.

Quite possibly the best small batch roaster in British Columbia. Grade A beans sourced ethically and roasted in a commercial Air Roaster machine delivering even roasts with good acidity. Put in your custom order now! I just had a medium Papua New Guinea which was so milk chocolatey as an espresso I was blown away.

The owners are very kind and knowledgeable. Latte was delicious and the decaf beans smell incredible. So happy to have found this local hidden gem.
Cute little coffee shop in Coquitlam with some interesting interior. In particular, I liked their poster of coffee beans around the world. We got a cappuccino to go, and it was pretty good. They don't have any seating inside currently unfortunately. Would come back if in the neighborhood.

My wife and I decided to try after going next door for Pho. Pretty decent Americano. Good price, but only 2 shots. Definitely go back and try with a couple of extra shots. They have a nice small batch roaster right next to the front area.

Great mocha, wonderful Batista was very welcoming. Too bad there is no seating inside or out to enjoy your coffee.
