From the cherry tree to the cup, from the bean to the bar and from the earth to the glass, this excursion will introduce you to the little gourmet pleasures in the heart of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Your morning will begin among the aromas of coffee at the Bean et Bonheur roaster. Steve, the co-owner, will introduce you to the world of coffee through responsible purchasing, coffee culture, roasting, the language of this beverage and finally a comforting tasting.
You will then head a few steps further to the artisanal chocolate factory Treize Chocolats.
