Brûlerie des Monts

What Brûlerie des Monts does

Brûlerie des Monts is a privately held, family-owned artisan coffee roaster established in 1995 and headquartered in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec. The company roasts coffee in-house using three defined roast levels — brown/American, dark/Italian, and black/French — applied individually to each coffee at 175-200°C with air cooling and no added water post-roast. Its product portfolio spans 87+ SKUs across five categories: Signature Blends, Single Origin Coffees, Exceptional Coffees / Micro-Lots, Rainforest Alliance certified Fair Trade coffees (sourced from estates such as Aquiares in Costa Rica and Finca La Verona in Nicaragua), and Decaffeinated options processed via Swiss Water and KVW methods. Pricing ranges from approximately $13 for entry-level single origins to $85 for Jamaica Blue Mountain, with samplers and gift cards available as discovery and gifting vehicles.

The business operates a pure direct-to-consumer model through a WooCommerce-powered online storefront shipping across Canada (free standard shipping over $70), complemented by a single physical café-counter location called Le Comptoir at Restaurant Obudum in Saint-Sauveur, which serves as both a retail touchpoint and an order pickup point. Revenue streams are entirely transactional (one-time purchases of coffee, accessories, samplers, and gift cards); no subscription, wholesale, or B2B channels are present. Marketing is digital-first — email newsletter acquisition (20% off first order), Facebook and Instagram presence, and educational Tips & Tricks content — with US sales temporarily suspended in 2025 due to tariff policy. Customer concentration is diffuse across individual consumers and gift buyers, with no disclosed enterprise accounts.
