Newfoundland and Labrador's specialty coffee scene runs from St. John's through Corner Brook, the Bonavista Peninsula, and Fogo Island. The province's 10 active independent roasters serve communities where coffee infrastructure is genuinely scarce, making the operators who've stuck deeply tied to the year-round Newfoundland economy.
Roast Local maps 10 independent coffee roasters across Newfoundland and Labrador, concentrated in St. John's, Mount Pearl, and Bonavista.
10 independent roasters listed · Updated August 2026
St. John's anchors Newfoundland and Labrador's specialty coffee scene with multiple active independent roasters serving the provincial capital. 7th Wave Craft Roasted Coffee and Cape Coffee (founded 2022) cover the downtown and George Street specialty corridor. Mount Pearl's Jumping Bean Coffee, founded 2005 and one of the longer-running NL specialty operators, extends the metro just outside St. John's. The Avalon Peninsula's coffee scene is shaped by Memorial University, the provincial government, and an outport-and-rural population that has been engaged with specialty coffee for nearly two decades.
Western Newfoundland runs its own coffee corridor. Corner Brook's Brewed Awakening (founded 2007) anchors the Humber Valley and Gros Morne gateway. Deer Lake's Gros Morne Coffee Roasters serves the national-park tourism economy. The western NL specialty scene runs at its own pace (busier in the summer hiking-and-touring season, slower through the long winters), but the operators who've stuck have built genuine local identities.
The Bonavista Peninsula and the offshore islands add some of the most isolated specialty coffee operations in North America. Bonavista Coffee Company anchors the peninsula's small-but-passionate coffee culture. Trinity Coffee Company (founded 2014) serves the historic outport town whose tourism economy has grown alongside the broader Bonavista revival. Carbonear's Dark Star Coffee Roasters covers the Conception Bay corridor. Fogo Island Coffee in Tilting operates on one of the most remote inhabited islands in Atlantic Canada, a small-batch operation serving the island's year-round residents and the steady flow of visitors to Fogo Island Inn. The 10 active independent Newfoundland and Labrador roasters represent a province where coffee culture is genuinely tied to the year-round outport economy.
