Caffeine connoisseurs can now
sniff, swirl and slurp their way through 38 different coffees by the cup at Bean
Brothers Café Bistro in Kerrisdale. Like sommeliers who showcase fine wines
by the glass, the baristas at this bustling coffee-bar-cum-restaurant brew single
cups of exotic, mostly free-trade and certified-organic coffees—Nicaragua
Las Sabanas and Jamaican Blue Mountain, one of the most expensive coffees in the
world, are two popular choices—for their clientele. “We want to offer
coffee lovers the same kind of experience that wine lovers can get at a great
wine bar,” says new owner Arkady Draliuk. Just no spitting, please.—Ann
