A great cup of coffee is part art, part science, part romance combined with love for a great bean chosen and roasted to perfection then blended to give the ultimate taste experience. All of this done by our Master Roaster trained in the old traditional italian ways.
Now that's Amore
IN 1981 CASA DEL CAFFE WAS ESTABLISHED IN VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA; CANADA BY VINCENT GENTILE.
This followed his five year apprenticeship as a coffee roaster in Italy where he studied and mastered the fine art of coffee roasting in its true Italian Tradition, Ensuring "La Vitta e Bella".
CASA DEL CAFFE is British Columbia owned corporation and has earned a reputation for quality coffee and dedicated service.
