About the Calgary Coffee Scene
Calgary's specialty coffee scene has grown rapidly over the past decade, evolving from a handful of pioneering roasters into a genuinely competitive market with a distinct local identity. The city's energy industry money and outdoor-adventure culture have created a customer base that cares about quality and is willing to pay for it.
Calgary roasters tend to be direct-trade focused, with strong relationships in Central America and Africa. The Inglewood, Kensington, and 17th Ave districts host most of the city's specialty cafés. Look for roasters who also run outdoor-friendly operations — cold brew and canned formats are popular here.
