ABOUT US

What began as a hobby for Peaks founder, Dana Meiner, soon became a passionate pursuit. Equipped with a clear vision and a tabletop roaster, this trailblazing female founded Peaks on Vancouver Island in 2006. Through the years, Peaks Coffee continues to challenge tradition and remains committed to offering high quality, no-compromise, laid-back coffee without attitude to the everyday explorer.

We are inspired to understand the challenges of producing coffee with integrity from bean to cup, while supporting and sustaining the work of communities and families whose livelihoods depend on farming.

 

The environment in which a coffee grows and the effort taken to grow and harvest coffee cannot be disconnected from the quality that ultimately ends up in your cup. Our responsibility and pursuit of specialty coffee is evident in every step of the journey, resulting in a distinctive cup with a pure aroma and taste.

We purchase our beans in small lots based on each country’s seasonality in order to ensure the freshest coffee possible. We also look for unique and distinctive varietals that can stand alone or complement other coffee components in a blend.

The main focus of Peaks Coffee is roasting for local businesses up and down Vancouver Island.  We supply restaurants, coffee shops, health food stores, grocery stores and offices.  

We focus on freshness and smaller delivery amounts to keep the coffee as fresh as possible.  

Our small shop on Bell McKinnon Road allows customers to come in, take away a hot coffee and purchase all of the varieties available.  We also carry other locally produced items from our neighbours.  Honey, eggs, pickles, jams, and soap to name just a few!

In the near future we will also be offering many items from Hank's Bakery in the Cowichan Valley.  The chefs create daily pastries and sourdough bread for our customers to take home.
