Discover Kape: Authentic Philippine Coffee in Vancouver, BC

Kape is proud to be the first and only purveyor of Philippine coffee in Vancouver, offering a unique and socially responsible coffee experience. As a social venture, we are dedicated to providing farmer-direct, sustainable, single-origin coffee that supports the livelihoods of Indigenous growers in the Philippines. Our mission is to share the stories of these remarkable farmers and their high-quality beans with coffee lovers in Vancouver, BC, and beyond.

A Rich History and a Bright Future

The coffee culture in the Philippines has a storied past. It began to flourish at the turn of the millennium when foreign-branded coffee shops started to dominate the urban landscape. City dwellers quickly embraced the trend of frequenting these international chains, shifting away from their usual instant coffee at home. However, many were unaware that coffee-growing had deep roots in the Philippine highlands, cultivated by Indigenous communities for generations.

Once a leading coffee exporter, the Philippines saw a decline in production due to a lack of state funding and support. This led many coffee farmers to rely on private initiatives and foreign aid to continue their work. Today, Kape aims to increase awareness and appreciation of Philippine specialty coffee, expanding the market for sustainably sourced beans and showcasing the best of what Philippine coffee farmers have to offer.

Our Mission and Values

At Kape, we believe that the best coffee beans are those that tell a story. We source our beans directly from farmers we know and trust, farmers we are blessed to call friends. Our mission is to share the resilience, indigeneity, and passion of these coffee farmers with the world. By doing so, we hope to build better livelihoods for Philippine coffee growers and their communities.

We are proud to bring unique coffees from remarkable women and family farmers in the Philippines to the coffee enthusiasts of Vancouver, BC. Each cup of Kape coffee is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our farmer partners, and we are committed to sharing their stories with every sip.
