The Full Story
The Inspiration
Trailhead Coffee was born during a backpacking trip along the stunning West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. As I poured my coffee, I was dreaming about owning my own coffee company. I continued to watch the sunrise over the ocean, the tide gently rolling in. I believe that every moment in life is an opportunity for an adventure, why should a cup of coffee be any different? It's an invitation to embark on a sensory adventure, encouraging you to explore new horizons with each sip. With our carefully roasted coffee, let the rich aromas ignite your dreams and the vibrant flavours energize your adventurous spirit. So pour yourself a cup, take a moment, and let the journey begin!
The Dream Started - West Coast Trail, 2022
Trailhead Coffee Established - Edmonton, Alberta, 2024
