Coffizen Coffee Roasters has been roasting small-batch coffee for Burnaby since 2016, and you can taste the difference in every cup. They’re known locally for single-origin beans and their signature House Blend, roasted on-site in a 250 square foot micro-roastery behind the café. If you like bright, floral coffees or a darker, chocolatey espresso, they have a roast profile for you, dialled in and consistent.

On a typical visit you’ll find pour-overs, espresso drinks, cold brews and a selection of whole beans to take home. Their menu lists specific offerings by origin, like Ethiopian natural and Colombian washed lots, and they offer seasonal micro-lots that rotate every few weeks. They also sell 250 g and 1 kg bags, reusable filters, and a small range of locally made pastries from neighbouring bakeries. They roast to order on a 5 kg Probat, so beans for in-store bags are as fresh as possible.

The team at Coffizen are hands-on roasters and baristas who train together weekly, cupping new lots and adjusting roast curves based on taste. When you talk to them, they’ll explain tasting notes, brew ratios and how to store beans at home. Baristas pull precise shots and will happily demo a V60 or Aeropress if you ask. The café is casual and warm, with a few communal tables and a window bench that catches afternoon sun, making it a comfortable spot to work or catch up with friends.

People choose Coffizen for reliable, well-roasted coffee and friendly, knowledgeable service that feels local. They support Burnaby suppliers and host occasional tasting nights where customers can sample new beans and ask questions. For fresh-roasted coffee and real expertise, drop in or order beans online.
