Food & Drink
Small-batch specialty coffee and tasting-room coffee
Prototype focuses on small-batch roasting and tasting-room service, offering a Vancouver alternative for specialty-coffee customers seeking carefully roasted beans and prepared coffee.
Privately owned by founder Matt Johnson. Prototype Coffee was founded and operates in Vancouver, BC. Johnson grew up in New Mexico and moved to Canada for school; reliable public sources do not establish his current citizenship, so majority Canadian ownership is left unconfirmed.
All Prototype coffee for retail, wholesale and its cafés is roasted at the company's Strathcona roastery in Vancouver, BC. Green coffee beans are sourced internationally through import partners, so the finished coffee is roasted/processed in Canada from imported agricultural ingredients and does not qualify broadly as Product of Canada.
