Best Independent Coffee Roasters in Victoria, BC (2026)
Victoria's roasters run from a North Park shop dating to 1983 that roasts on a mid-1930s Royal roaster to a Government Street micro roastery opened in 2023, with a Kings Road café whose first roaster dates to 1996, a cluster of roasteries around Rock Bay, and small-batch roasters that deliver by bicycle and in compostable bags. Stated founding years on the sites and listings run from 1983 to 2023.
We've mapped the active independent coffee roasters listed under Victoria 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 gives no location for sourcing, is left out. The orbit section covers roasters that Roast Local lists under Saanichton, Esquimalt, Langford, and Sooke.
