Finally getting around to some V-day content here on GLV and didn’t want you to miss the news about East Van Roasters!<\/p>\n

If you’re shopping for something sweet for yourself or someone special this Valentine’s Day, head to East Van Roasters (319 Carrall St., Vancouver). This social enterprise will melt your heart with a new assortment of artisanal chocolate goods made in-house with love.<\/p>\n

\"east<\/a><\/p>\n

Established in 2013, East Van Roasters is a certified charity and social enterprise operated by PHS Community Services Society, a non-profit housing and health care agency. The coffee shop hires women who have experienced challenges living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and provides a welcoming and supportive community where they learn to produce fine chocolate and baked goods. All proceeds go back to supporting the social enterprise and the work they do to remove barriers for women in the community.<\/p>\n

“When we think of chocolate and coffee we think of comfort. When we think of chocolatiers and coffee roasters we think of craftspeople,” explains manager Shelley Bolton. “The people we work with come from hardship but the more they immerse themselves, the better they become at their craft. The intention is to be the best at what we do and provide an opportunity for our peers to excel.”<\/p>\n

To celebrate their love for the community, East Van Roasters has produced a delectable assortment of custom Valentine’s treats that are both organic and fair-trade. The seasonal collection includes several classic Valentine’s heart boxes, which contain various truffles, chocolates and confections, lovingly handcrafted small Buddha and heart shaped chocolates and several variations of the traditional chocolate bar. For lovers of white chocolate, East Van Roasters offers a white chocolate bar with strawberry p\u00e2te de fruit and Himalayan pink salt. It’s the perfect complement to the dark chocolate offering, which features chocolate and cocoa nibs, both sourced from Peru.<\/p>\n

All coffee and chocolate is roasted and made in house, so shoppers get to see the true craftsmanship that emerges from bean-to-bar preparation. East Van Roasters is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday, for a daytime rendezvous or a calm oasis within the bustle of downtown.<\/p>\n
