Then in 1990, after a year of research and soaking up all he could – which wasn't so easy in those early-internet days – he opened a small coffee house with an in-store 5 kilo roaster in the heart of sleepy West Vancouver. The first Bean Around The World was just as he had envisioned it back in 1978. Pete offered fresh, in-house roasted coffee in a funky, eclectic setting with friendly service and good baking.
Way back in 1978 Pete was on a business trip in San Francisco when he saw his first coffee roaster. That image of fresh roasted coffee never left his head.It was only a year later when the demand for 'The Bean's' fresh roasted coffee exceeded the small in-store roasters. Pete and Barney decided to roast their beans in a central location – at Cowboy Coffee on the North Shore. They travelled down to Nevada and purchased a used 22 kilo Probat coffee roaster (possibly the best excuse ever for a road trip) and when they returned, they set up shop providing fresh-roasted coffee daily to all their stores. The Cowboy Coffee Roasting Company was formed.

BLOGlone tree coffeeOUR NAME: Steeped in local history, 'l'arbre seul' (the lone tree), now a vanished landmark, was one of the oldest recorded sites along the Okanagan Brigade Trail. The trail was first used by fur traders to transport supplies and goods for trade and later used by gold miners on their journey to the Cariboo. We think this bit of history is worth preserving.OUR COMPANY: We are so proud to be from this amazing part of the world, and could not imagine a more beautiful place to freshly roast our artisan coffee.
