Happy they’re recognizing and talking about the ethics of coffee. It’s not just a frivolous drink - it’s something that people get exploited for just so the every day North American can get a caffeine shot in the morning.
All to all the complaining cis white males: maybe try walking a step in someone else’s shoes before opening in your mouth. Minorities (culture, gender identity, dis/ability) around the world are systemically at a disadvantage, with many experiencing race or gender-based violence every day - even here in Victoria. So, sorry not sorry that you felt slightly uncomfortable walking into a coffee shop; we feel this every moment of our lives.

A little gem in the middle of nowhere. Did the Bay bridge/Selkirk trestle loop today and stopped in at B & A for a snack. Met Alana, she is great. Had a miso cookie and a chocolate orange tart, both very good. Stop in and check it out

I love this place. My only complaint is that they had more seating and longer hours. Could you at least extend it to 330pm? I get the post lunch nappies and like a shot of caffeine plz. Also I have no idea about the staff being awful. They have always been super nice to me.

You feel the clear bigotry the moment you walk in as a straight white male. Terrible, pretentious, bitter coffee to boot, literally anywhere else is better and you won't feel judged just for existing.

They support coffee farmer's resistance to Canadian mining companies. That earns my respect!

Been buying coffee from Bows for about a decade, easily one of the best and most consistent roasters in Canada. If you care at all about the future of coffee and those that produce it consider supporting them.

Great coffee. Ethically sourced and still somehow fairly priced. This is our go-to roaster in town. We even had it shipped to us when we lived momentarily out east, it was that good.

Incredible beans, sourced with integrity and I have always had the loveliest interactions with their team over social. Couldn’t recommend more!
