Fresh Press Coffee Bar

"We wanted to offer something different than what was already here," says Questa Lee, co-owner (with her mother, Wendy Lee) of Fresh Press Coffee Bar in Richmond. "Our location used to be a convenience store, but when we looked at the neighbourhood, we decided that a coffee shop might be a better idea."

“Richmond doesn't have much in regards to specialty coffee shops, and we decided that we would like to introduce people to the coffee culture that is popping up around our community. Our aim is to tantalize the taste buds of coffee and tea drinkers by giving them something that the chain coffee shops around us do not offer, while making new experiences very approachable."
