Proper cup of coffee?

Sometimes it feels a bit like we’re dabbling around the edges of Alberta’s coffee community. We’ve been roasting here in Innisfail for three or four years now.

The only way to get our beans is to visit the local farmers market (astonishingly, few people attend), order them online for delivery, or pick them up at our house.

If you’re looking for a proper cup of coffee what do you do? There are a few local choices, like Dark Woods in Innisfail, Dose in Red Deer. The only way to get our fantasticseveral coffee was at a farmers market.

If you wanted some beans, you could order at Athabasca Coffee Roasters, and have them shipped to your home.

Weary travelers of the QE2 highway have no choice but to rely on foreign companies like Starbucks or Tim Hortons for coffee.

A new hope

But the opportunity for a proper cup of coffee will soon be just a few metres off the highway.

Athabasca Coffee will be opening the doors of our new Cafe at 4804 42 Avenue here in Innisfail. That’s in the Eastgate Mall for the Innisfail Savvy folk.

You can grab a cup of freshly roasted and brewed coffee, and taste the difference. Prefer a latte? Iced Coffee? Cold Brew? Tea? Tea Latte? We’ve got you covered.

And some fresh locally baked goodies, paninis, and sandwiches to go along with it.

And to top it all off it will be the freshest coffee you’ve ever had, roasted right here in Innisfail, by a small family business. You can pick up a bag to take home with you.

Perfect if you love the finest quality, and don’t want to give your hard-earned cash away to big corporate America (or Brazil)

We’re aiming for the middle of March to have our grand opening – depending on trades and inspections.

See you there soon!
