Best Independent Coffee Roasters in Edmonton, Alberta (2026)
Edmonton's roasters run from a 111 Street tea and coffee shop that traces itself to The Java Shop to roasteries that opened in the 2020s, with a Probat-equipped roastery that has hosted national barista competitions, a café group sourcing from a farm in Colombia, and small-batch brands that deliver across the city. Stated founding years on the sites and listings run from 2006 to 2024.
We've mapped the active independent coffee roasters listed under Edmonton as of October 2026. Every fact below comes from the roaster's own website or its Roast Local listing. Where a site does not state something (a founding year, a roasting machine, a street address), this guide does not state it either. One listed business, whose site did not load for sourcing, is left out. The orbit section covers roasters within about 35 kilometres that Roast Local lists under Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Beaumont, and Stony Plain.
