East Van Roasters

East Van Roasters - Empress Blend

East Van Roasters (EVR) are passionate about creating bean-to-bar chocolate and specialty coffee. They source fine quality beans ethically with intention and roast them in their own Downtown Eastside shop.

EVR is a social enterprise dedicated to providing a safe and professional space where women experiencing social and economic disadvantages can gain valuable work experience.

As a social enterprise, at least 50% of EVR’s profits go back into social causes!

We’re so thrilled to have EVR as a mainstay here at Bandidas. Such an incredible business doing important things for our community!
