Welcome to Coffee Culture Journal - freshly brewed stories on art and coffee.
Here we feature the artists behind the Coffee Table Art Book, share tales from café life, and
explore the culture that happens whenever coffee and creativity meet.
Coffee, Creativity & Connection
A quiet end-of-year reflection on an unexpected feature in Local Coffee Talk and the ongoing conversation around coffee, creativity, and connection.
Three Years, One Book, and a Second Cup
A reflection on the three-year journey of creating Coffee Table Art Book, the final year that carried unexpected weight, and the people who helped bring it to life. A quiet look back, a grateful pause, and a gentle sense of what’s still brewing.
On the Book
Every Element—From Pacing And Typography To The Tactile Quality Of The Pages—Was Considered To Allow The Work To Speak Without Interruption. The Book Does Not Rush. It Invites Pause. It Asks To Be Lived With Rather Than Consumed.

Brewed in Canada: Printing the Coffee Table Art Book with Friesens
Why We Chose Friesens to Print the Coffee Table Art Book
When I set out to bring the Coffee Table Art Book to life, I knew one thing for sure: I didn’t want it printed overseas. Like so many coffee table books, the default option is to have them produced in China. But I wanted to create something different — a publishing company, Coffee Table Art Book Press, that’s rooted here in North America.
