Philosophy
Catfish Coffee Roasters are a locally owned and operated small batch coffee roasting company that is environmentally and socially responsible from the beans up. All coffee is organic and 100% Arabica. Our bean selections support small growers and independent farmers when ever possible. These farms are ususally too small or economically challenged to obtain external trade marks or certifications to help market their beans in North America.

Catfish Coffee is roasted carefully, in small batches. The process is reminiscent of a chef carefully attending the creation of a delicate dish. The entire roasting process for a mere 5 lbs takes approximately 15 minutes, depending on the beans. The roasting process finished, the beans are dropped steaming hot so they can cool.

About Catfish Coffee
Catfish Coffee Roasters is a small batch coffee roaster that began as a hobby business selling their beans at the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market.
The Market was a great launching pad to introduce their freshly roasted coffee through samples and face to face interaction with Edmontonians. The original selection of beans was small but deliberate. By adding unique and seasonal growing regions like Papua New Guinea and Peru, there is something new and fresh to look forward to each month.
Word quickly grew and so did the need to expand into the newly opened Retail and Production location on 112 Ave in Historic Highlands.
