Welcome
“One of our biggest challenges early on was sourcing high quality coffee. I searched all over BC for the freshest and highest quality coffee beans, but there was no local supplier that met my strict standards. After traveling to many coffee plantations and speaking with the most hardworking coffee farmers, I learned that the only way to achieve the quality of coffee I was looking for was to import our green beans from around the world and roast them myself! After 20+ years of roasting coffee beans, I can proudly say Ohya Cafe serves among the best coffee in Canada.”

Brew The Rich Taste
Key tips for brewing perfect Syphon Style Coffee at home!
Syphon Style brewing gives the barista full control of:
- Coffee ground coarseness
- Water temperature
- Burner heat level
- Brewing duration
- Extraction amount via stirring
Ohya Cafe’s Tips for You
* The water has to be below boiling temperature, too hot and coffee will taste burnt. Too cold and it’ll be too acidic. 90-95°C is perfect.
* Burner keeps the water temperature consistent throughout the full process, not letting it get too hot or cold.
* We like our brew duration to be around 1 minute (top secret for those who have made it this far, ssh!)
