Cafe Codiac & Drive Thru

I grind my own beans daily for manual espresso. I was looking for freshly roasted beans for optimum results.
The roaster (employee) was unable to tell me when the beans had been roasted. There's no 'roast date' on the bags! Generally, this is the advantage of local roasters over other brands. Tell me the date, allow me to let it off-gas the appropriate number of days, package it in a C02 releasing bag, and give me consistency. I didn't get any of these choices.
I tried three varieties, and each resulted in a poor end-product I would normally attribute to older, stale roasted beans.
At $17-$19

We tried lots of coffee roasters and Down east has by far the best coffee. Zydeco and Lescarbot are by far me and my fiancé favorite flavours.
I recommend anyone looking for local roasted coffee beans to give them a try.

Non pareil. Without parallel. Great coffee roasted by The Expert, Terry Montagu. Everyone here is an enthusiast. Great to be part of it as customer and support it.

Exceptional taste and very fast delivery. Love the personal touch with each order!

Very nice spot. Go for the smell of the coffee if nothing else. Wow! The staff were great. I highly recommend it.

Down East Coffee is absolutely amazing! I have enjoyed different roasts and they are all unique and taste wonderful! Recently I can only drink decaf because of migraines, and I was amazed at how tasty the decaf is! We order in BC regularly and only use Down East coffee now as it is the best 😊

Staff are amazing and very friendly and helpful. They were able to track down a blend that they had made for a fundraiser 2 years ago as a gift for my wife who had loved that coffee! Thanks for making my Christmas shopping that much easier and for helping me get some brownie points in the process!

Xmas Came a little early in our house! Thank you @Down East Coffee for making my mornings a while lot brighter. ☕️ Truly the best cup of coffee! Fast, personalized delivery. 📦

Amazing selection of locally roasted coffees. Absolutely love the Nica Dark blend!! And a wonderfully quaint little spot to stop off for a delicious fresh brew :)

Quality is well known right at the first sip. Great Customer service. I will be returning to test other items. Can't wait!

Quality beans, quality coffee, knowledgeable staff. Traditional roasting techniques/practises and a rejection. Great stop for a long drive to/from moncton/Northern NB. Brewing equipment available.

They roast some of the best coffee. It seems to be more of a pick-up and go kind of place as their isn't really anywhere to sit down and have a conversation or read a book in this lovely building.

Terry has been building his business for decades. Quality coffee and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. This roaster location has 5 inside bar stools and they are working towards an outside patio.
His son and daughter in law are now building the first of the 3rd generation of master roasters.

Your dedication to Excellence creates a World-Class experience every time. Absolutely Delicious!

I bought a pound of coffee beans from “Smile a While” in Rexton to bring back to Ottawa. The coffee is absolutely delicious and the beans aren’t over roasted. We’ve been using a pour over method and the bloom we get is exceptional! Will definitely be buying more when I come home for Christmas next month!
