KOHI Micro-torréfacteur is described as a welcoming spot with delicious coffee and a wide, aromatic variety, where service is consistently impeccable and the atmosphere feels warm and genuine. The experience centers on direct relationships with producer families, with a focus on respectful, authentic sourcing that shows in each cup. The micro-torréfacteur's offerings are praised for balance and finesse across different brewing methods, with beans from multiple countries offering notable aromatics and terroir. The staff are repeatedly commended for knowledge and helping customers explore and choose coffees, and the no-waste initiative and thoughtful packaging are appreciated. The reviews also highlight a few drawbacks, including occasional inconsistency in quality and taste, with some batches tasting sour or rancid and packaging sometimes arriving damaged, requiring replacements and extra follow-up with customer service. Still, many consider it a must-visit, a reference in the region, with standout drinks like lattes and nitro cold brew and a reputation for exciting discoveries and great value.
KOHI est bien plus qu'un micro-torréfacteur, c'est une véritable rencontre entre le café, le coeur & l'humain. Leur approche en relation directe avec des familles de producteurs à travers le monde se ressent dans chaque tasse. Des cafés cultivés avec respect, passion & authenticité.
La micro-torréfaction, toujours juste & maîtrisée, met en valeur des cafés bruns d'une grande finesse, provenant de multiples pays, terroirs & altitudes. Que ce soit en V60, Bodum, espresso, cafetière italienne ou café filtre, chaque grain révèle une richesse aromatique remarquable, digne d'une dégustation.
& que dire de l'accueil… chaleureux, sincère, à l'image de leur amour du café.
KOHI, qui signifie café en japonais, porte parfaitement son nom.
Pour les amoureux de cafés fins & de dégustation, c'est tout simplement l'endroit de référence. ☕
Nous y sommes alle? aujourd'hui pour nous choisir un nouveau cafe? & Ste?phanie a pris tous son temps pour donner d'excellents conseils.

Je recommande cette boutique.
Bel endroit sympathique avec des passionnés de café!
Merci à Stéphanie qui a pris le temps de nous faire découvrir & choisir notre nouveau café préféré!
I wish I didn't have to write this review, but unfortunately I've had too many mixed experiences to just say nothing.
KOHI has been my favourite for a long time now. I first tried their coffee in an advent calendar several years ago, & it was the best of the bunch. But… what it comes down to is this:
Sometimes you will get the best coffee you've ever had in your life. & sometimes, you will get the worst coffee you've ever had in your life.
It seems to be a coin toss. I buy the biggest bags of beans available, & it's so good that it keeps me coming back. But I've had coffee shipped poorly many times now, in which the bags have exploded open everywhere. That's not a huge failing, but the bigger problem is the taste.
I've tried pretty much everything KOHI has to offer. But if you find a bean you like, be aware that about 40% of the time, it will suddenly be the most rancid tasting coffee of your life. I don't know why this is. I've gotten replacements several times due to entire bags being way too sour & gross to use. This problem only seems to be getting worse, too; I recently purchased several bags & all of them are essentially undrinkable, regardless of my extraction method. It's really unfortunate, & at this point I'm just not comfortable reaching out anymore because I've had to so many times.
On that front, the customer service is generally great! So there's that. But… do be prepared to have to engage frequently.
Today is a sad day because I am officially retiring KOHI from my life. I don't think I'll ever find a coffee quite as great as this one ever again. The search has been very long. But the 50/50 shot of it being great or awful is too much for me to handle anymore.
Stopped by this café for the first time today. I want to say it's the best coffee I've had in the Laurentians - truthfully it's one of the best I've had. period. Well done. I also appreciate their no-waste initiative with the to-go cup being a consignment jar. Looking forward to going back.
Café délicieux. Plusieurs choix de moutures & d'infusions. Arrêtez de chialer que votre café Tim goute l'eau de vaisselle & allez encourager la qualité locale. Je vais certainement revenir essayer le nitro cold brew.

One of the best surprises of our trip! When we got to Kohi, Stephanie suggested we tried'giko hill', an extravagant coffee from Rwanda. One word: amazing. Even more so, probably one of the best coffees we have ever had (& we had quite a few!). Don't miss this!

This place is BOMB!! Canada has so many wonderful cafes with great coffee but this one really stands out. The coffee is truly exceptional. So smooth. The service & atmosphere are really nice as well. We have been 3 times so far while visiting the area for our honeymoon. Check them out!
