Details
Milano Coffee is very proudly from Vancouver and has been at the forefront of the west coast coffee culture since it's inception in 1984. But the Milano story is older, much older than that. Few coffee roasters in North America can lay claim to the lineage like Milano Coffee. The legacy of Vancouver based Milano Coffee's artisan tradition dates back three quarters of a century to the very beginnings of Italian espresso itself! The distinct taste derived from the secrets of the torrefazione (a time honored roasting and blending craftsmanship) is fervently protected and handed down from one generation to the next. Our history is traceable, with a lineage of Musetti, Curatolo and Turko - a legacy of three generations of family owned and operated Casa Torrefazione. Our Italian roots remain, but we are now a Canadian, west coast Coffee tradition. more... See more text

It's a tall order when your business goal is to be the best in the world for espresso. But that's exactly what husband-and-wife team Brian and Linda Turko, owners of Vancouver's Milano Coffee, intend to achieve.

In 2017, Brian and Linda's original Italian espresso blends Suave Rico, New Italian and Frank's roasts won gold medals at the annual International Coffee Tasting Competition (a blind sensory evaluation with a panel of 30 international judges). They've won 10 medals in total, having accrued seven gold since 2012.

Brian is a true artisan with a deep-seated passion for coffee excellence and innovation, and his unbridled enthusiasm and curiosity have helped him to maintain the legacy of his mentor Francesco Curatolo, whom he met when he walked into his café-roasting storefront in 1993. Brian says that thanks to Francesco, "I learned the best blending technology since the creation of espresso."

Brian and Linda took over Francesco's Café de Milano and roasting facility in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood in 2003, launching the first of five family-owned and operated Milano Coffee bars.

    First-time at Milano's and not being a coffee expert I had no idea what coffee to select. The server selected a wonderful coffee. And when i returned to buy another cup the manager offered on the house. Such a fantastic first-time experience that I will surely visit them again!

    Best Vancouver cafés for business meetings

    It’s hard not to feel inspired when sitting in this fresh, modern yet lovingly used café, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows to Jonathan Rogers Park and the skyline and mountains beyond it. The noise levels at Milano vary throughout the day: arrive at 3:00 pm and your meeting will likely be one of many. It’s bustling and loud and exciting, but not the place for quiet contemplation. Come during the morning and you’ll be more likely met by ambient tunes and the perfect location for collaborations.
