Calgary's flagship specialty roaster and the name most associated with the city's third-wave coffee movement. Phil Robertson and Sebastian Sztabzyb built their reputation on direct-trade sourcing and meticulous roasting. The Simmons Building location is a flagship-style stop, but every outpost maintains the same standard — rotating single-origins, excellent espresso, and a serious approach to every cup. Direct-trade sourcing with farm-level transparency
Rosso Coffee Roasters has several current Calgary cafes; use this as a verified Calgary roaster stop, but check the official locations page before routing around a specific address.
A compact, welcoming specialty shop on the 17th Ave corridor that draws regulars with its unhurried atmosphere and well-pulled espresso. Analog is the kind of place where you come in for a quick cortado and end up staying — good natural light, comfortable seating, and baristas who clearly care about the craft. Expertly pulled espresso and cortados
Fratello is better treated as a Calgary roaster/store stop than a sit-down coffee shop. Go when beans or roaster context matter more than lingering in a cafe.
Monki is a breakfast/brunch restaurant rather than a pure coffee shop. Keep it as a breakfast backup when coffee is part of a meal, and check current locations before going.
