For over 100 years, Union Coffee has been a presence on the Montreal coffee scene. Dating back to the beginning when they were along Saint Catherine street, Union Coffee has been at the forefront of importing a diverse variety of beans to roast, blend and sell to Montreal consumers and restaurants. Sales took off, with Union Coffee supplying coffee to many restaurants and cafés in Montreal. A retail counter was opened at the Jean Talon location, and sales of cappuccinos, espressos, lattés, and other coffee beverages to the public soon made Union Coffee the place to go to for a great cup. But the bean was not the only focus of the business, as in the mid-70's Union Coffee was the first company in Montreal to sell the home version of the still-popular Baby Gaggia espresso/cappuccino machine, an innovation for consumers looking to brew that delicious beverage themselves.

It was in the spring of 1950 in a small room on rue Jeanne Mance in Montreal, that Guy and Réal Brossard founded Brossard Frères inc. These two visionary traders will have their first experiences in importing and roasting coffee. Passionate about this hot drink that awakens the senses, they will unknowingly become true pioneers of the Montreal coffee scene! At the time, it would first be the religious communities and institutions neighboring the Mile-End district and Little Italy that would be the first to trust them. Little by little, the smell of freshly roasted coffee will attract passers-by and neighbors curious to taste their flagship product: Le Café Brossard. Their mission at the time: To offer quality coffee, freshly roasted and sold at a fair price. It is thanks to this premise that they quickly win the hearts of the neighborhood, and also that of a clientele that increasingly exceeds the limits of their neighborhood.
