About First & Fog

First & Fog began with a simple belief: the best coffee is more than something you drink. It is a ritual.

It is the first quiet moment of the morning. The warmth in your hands before the day begins. The cup packed for an early drive, a misty shoreline, or a weekend spent somewhere beyond the noise.

For founder Felix Kirsch, good coffee has always been a genuine passion. Not only the flavour, but everything surrounding it—the preparation, the atmosphere, and the way a well-made cup can make an ordinary moment feel intentional.

That passion became First & Fog.

Inspired by the West Coast

First & Fog is shaped by the landscape of Vancouver Island: cedar forests, rugged coastlines, cool mornings, drifting fog, and the quiet sense of space found near the Pacific.

Our coffees are chosen to reflect that same character—grounded, distinctive, and made to be enjoyed without rushing.

From bold, dark roasts to bright single origins and comforting flavoured blends, every product is selected to bring a different atmosphere to your daily ritual. Some are made for early trailheads and cold mornings. Others belong beside an open window, a glowing fire, or a slow Sunday breakfast.

The setting may change. The ritual remains.

Thoughtfully selected. Freshly prepared.

We believe premium coffee should feel special without feeling complicated.

Our collection brings together carefully selected coffees, teas, matcha, and brewing essentials designed for people who care about quality, but also about the experience surrounding it.

Our coffee is roasted and prepared to order before being delivered directly to you. This approach helps preserve freshness while allowing us to offer a considered collection without the waste and long storage times often associated with traditional retail.

Whether you prefer whole bean, ground coffee, single-serve pods, or a recurring delivery, First & Fog makes it easier to keep exceptional coffee within reach.

A more intentional daily ritual

First & Fog is not built around drinking more coffee.

It is built around enjoying it more.

We are here for mornings that begin before sunrise, afternoons that call for a pause, and evenings spent planning the next escape. For coffee brewed at home, packed for the road, or shared with someone worth slowing down for.

Every detail—from the flavour profiles to the packaging and visual identity—is designed to feel calm, refined, and connected to the outdoors.

Because a good day does not always begin with a grand plan.

Sometimes, it begins with fog outside the window and a truly good cup of coffee.
