Catfish Coffee Roasters

I’ve been a huge fan of the coffee from Catfish Coffee Roasters for a while. What’s not to like? The beans are grown and harvested in environmentally and socially responsible ways. And then they are roasted fresh, right here in Edmonton. Plus, this is good stuff — every single roast I have tried has been delicious; even the decaf (which I am drinking now because of pregnancy) is robust and flavourful.
But I am also a huge fan of their customer service. These people value their customers, and it shows. I mean, how many businesses, when you leave your purchase on their counter (like an idiot) when rearranging your bags, will go out of their way to make sure you get that extraordinary cup of joe? I really like doing business with my neighbours. Especially when it’s obvious that they value me as their neighbour, too.

YIRG –onna love it is the best blend. The smell of fresh roasted beans!
Now closed, coffee is sold and brewed at Mandolin books a few shops down on 112 ave.

I have tried other locally roasted coffees and this is by far the outstanding choice. Sucker Punch is a favourite, but you really can’t go wrong with any of the Catfish Coffee Roasters selections. The owners are delightful and the pricing competitive which makes visiting their booth at the Strathcona Farmer’s Market all the more enjoyable. For discerning coffee lovers, this is top shelf.

We get their coffee at the strathcona farmer’s market. Very nice coffee, very nice people, and you can try the different roasts while you stand there. At $ 12/​lb, the price is less than the coffee we get at the grocery store, which is more like $ 15/​lb. We like our coffee strong, and many of their roasts are amenable to strong brews. Yum.
