Bump 'n' Grind Cafe

During this never-ending search for the best cup of coffee in Vancouver, we stumbled upon a little cafe tucked into the wall near Commercial Drive and Venables Street. After already making ourselves a pot of Kicking Horse in the morning, we shuffled our way up the drive and turned into this little slice of caffeine.

On entry, the place seemed cozy and comforting. It was lightly populated with what appeared to be students "working hard" on their laptops, along with a family with children. Not to mention some sensual smells of brain-boosting caffeine.


They had a decent selection of baked goods and edibles, but it seemed a little pricey so Tammy and I just opted for some coffee.

Of course, we decided to drink our coffee black to see what it actually tastes like. It smelled delicious, as our barista ground the beans fresh for each cup.

When sipping this roasted, scalding concoction, many flavours flashed into the front of my mind. There were fruity notes, and nutty undertones with some acidic flavours. Best of all, this was a coffee with many characteristics but it all just worked together and simply tasted amazing!

As the coffee cooled down, its flavours grew slightly more prominent. This is one of the many gems in our city!
