It’s nearly impossible to walk a block in Victoria without strolling past a coffee shop.

Whether a trendy chain or a boutique independent joint, coffee is a big deal to Victorians.

“We have a really sophisticated coffee market here,” says John Oughtred of Oughtred Coffee & Tea, a roasting and distributing company established in 1973. “The attention to detail, the quality of preparation, the roasters … When you get the leaders that come in and really do a good job it pushes the envelope for everyone else.”
