Our History

The story of Aspen Coffee Roasters begins at a bar in Maui, during happy hour, in the winter of 2016. The founders of Aspen Coffee Roasters, husband and wife, Gordon and Alison were escaping the bitter cold of their home in Edmonton when they struck up friendly conversation with the couple next to them at the bar. When asked what they did for work, they explained to Gordon and Alison that they roasted coffee in Australia and were the founders of Antz Inya Pantz Coffee Co. A light bulb in the businessman mind of Gordon was lit and the gears began to turn. After the inspiring chat with Craig Muzeroll and his partner Veronica Rhodes, the inception of Aspen Coffee Roasters was born.

By 2017 Gordon and Alison were packing their car and headed down the highway to Ponderay, Idaho to visit the factory of Diedrich Roasters to begin their journey into the art of coffee roasting. After some years of mainly supplying Aspen Coffee beans to close friends and family, the decision was made to convert the Aspen roastery into a combination of both a roastery and a coffee bar run by his very own family. Since early 2021 Aspen Coffee Roasters has been happily providing whole bean coffee and espresso coffee beverages at their location in industrial area South Edmonton. Aspen Coffee Roasters offers a variety of fair trade beans from different locations throughout the world and each roast batch is roasted with care and attention to offer our customers a 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!
