Sourcing directly from hardworking farmers in central America, East Africa, and the southern hemisphere is the cornerstone of Burnaby, British Columbia-based 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters. That passion for single-origin espresso and fresh crop filter coffee is on full display at the roastery\'s newest cafe -- courtesy of local firm Hager Design International -- within downtown Vancouver\'s FortisBC office building. According to senior interior designer Karl Travis, this location embraces a \"slightly higher-end approach\" than the rustic, beachy feel at the brand\'s Kitsilano outpost, or the industrial vibe at the Main Street one.
