About us
It all starts here...
The story of Aspen Coffee Roasters begins in the winter of 2016, during happy hour at a bar in Maui. The founders of Aspen Coffee Roasters, husband and wife, Gordon and Alison were escaping the bitter cold of their Aspen Gardens home in Edmonton when they struck up a friendly conversation with the couple next to them at the bar who, it turns out, roasted coffee themselves and were the founders of the Australian coffee company, Antz Inya Pantz Coffee Co. A lightbulb in the businessman mind of Gordon was lit and the gears began to turn. After the inspiring chat with Craig Muzeroll and his partner and wife Veronica Rhodes, the inception of Aspen Coffee Roasters was born.
By summertime 2017, Gordon and Alison were packing their car and heading down the highway to Ponderay, Idaho, where they visited the Diedrich Roasters factory to begin their journey into the art of coffee roasting. After a few years of mainly supplying Aspen Coffee beans to close friends and family while exploring the craft, the decision was made to convert the Aspen roastery into a combination of roastery and coffee bar - run by their very own family. Since early 2021, Aspen Coffee Roasters has been pleased to provide whole-bean coffee and espresso beverages at their location in the industrial area of Southside Edmonton. Aspen Coffee Roasters offers a variety of fair-trade beans from different locations throughout the world, and each batch of beans is hand-roasted with care and attention in order to offer our customers the highest quality cup of coffee.
Aspen Coffee Roasters is family owned and operated, we are local Edmontonians and fellow Albertans who are providing our community with one drink we all love: coffee. Come in, see our roaster, grab a drink, and get to know us!
