The coffee at Chez Mère-Grand comes from Hochelaga

When you choose the coffee you serve at Chez Mère-Grand, you also choose a way of doing things. Ours comes from Kittel, a roasting workshop in Hochelaga, in the east end of Montreal. Here's why we chose it.

Roasted here, in small batches

Kittel roasts Monday to Thursday, in small batches. Freshly roasted coffee keeps its aromas: it's the first thing you notice in the cup. And because the workshop is only a few kilometres from the café, our beans haven't crossed a continent before reaching the grinder.

Delivered by bike, all year round

Kittel delivers its orders by bike, summer and winter. It's a small detail that says a lot: a company that thinks about its footprint right down to the last kilometre.

Direct relationships with growers

Founded as "Kittel atelier de café", the workshop builds long-term relationships with growers, works with transparent importers and sometimes buys directly from farms. The goal is simple: to pay the people who grow coffee better. Good coffee starts with a farm that's treated well.
