Annual Open House Celebrating 16 Years!

by Mark Hayward | November 5, 2025

Join Us for Our 16th Anniversary Open House at Velvet Sunrise Coffee Roasters!

We’re excited to announce that Velvet Sunrise is celebrating its 16th anniversary, and we want you to be part of the festivities! Join us for an Open House on November 29th from 9am to 4pm at our roastery located at 100 Ringwood Dr #8, Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON.

Over the past 16 years, we’ve brewed more than just coffee; we’ve created a community of passionate coffee lovers. We look forward to our open house each year as it allows us to thank the community for their support. We invite you to come enjoy complimentary tastings of our holiday coffee blend The Nutcracker, Lisa’s famous holiday baked goods and of course our yearly specialty latte. We also love to give the community the opportunity to explore the behind-the-scenes of our roasting process, and learn more about where their coffee comes from.

Come share a cup with us and celebrate a decade and a half of great coffee, wonderful memories, and the incredible people who make it all possible. We can’t wait to see you there!

For more information, visit our website at velvetsunrise.ca or follow us on Instagram @velvetsunrisecoffee.

Cheers to many more years of coffee and community!
