Props to the business being ahead of the curve long ago to offer & create a reuse/recycle community of sorts with the extras from the cafe (those bean bags are really useful for many gardening endeavours). Roasti is also wonderfully situated for those out on neighbourhood errands (laundry mat on other end of parking lot & you'll have just enough time to enjoy a coffee & be back to change the machine), meeting up with friends or a quick stop when passing by. There's lots of parking options in this big parking lot for all the shops. Those with mobility aids, it might be a bit tricky navigating the sidewalk (various items are usually are placed on sidewalk from either direction to the door & getting over the parking barrier blocks is tricky if you're using more than a cane) but I will hope nothing will block you on the sidewalk if you do try to venture in. Looking forward to stopping by the next time I'm back in Sherwood Park.

Honestly I don't really know how they do it but it was one of the smoothest lattes I've ever had in my life! I highly recommend trying it. The actual cafe is pretty cool inside with all the machinery (which I can only assume is for bean roasting?) and the staff has always been friendly. I can't wait for my next latte!

Good thing there's good signage. I honestly would of never seen this place bc I meant to go to home depot but turned too early. I was lost but luckily I was enticed by this place!!! It was worth the impromptu visit. In the back. They have the option to smell the aromas of each of the beans they sell. This was a nice touch and reminds me of coffee plantation tours I've been on. Once inside I was greeted by a sweet nice man who gave me exceptional service. He started off with the most popular roasts...and with over 10 varieties I was overwhelmed. Luckily he took me to the back to smell the coffee beans each on their own. Pretty sweet deal to have beans freshly roasted the day of. The brew was outstanding and the aroma tantalizing on the way home. I'm so excited to try different blends. On this particular visit I had the Ethiopian and Brazilian blends bc they appealed to me the most. Definitely try this local roaster out!!!

I discovered NXT Roasters by accident while browsing through the Yelp app. That's probably the…read moreonly way your going to see this business because why else would you drive behind Home Depot unless you were lost? That said there is lots of parking and good access overall so perhaps the location does work. I believe that they only sell fresh roasted coffee beans and two varieties of a coffee spread. I'm saving the coffee spread for Christmas gifts so I can't tell you if I like them, but I'm sure that I will. Pricing is very simple; everything is $10.00. Bags of coffee are $10.00 and a small jar of coffee spread is $10.00. That's it. To help me choose my coffee the lady took me into the roasting room where I could smell some big containers of the actual beans. I'm looking forward to trying these beans out. They sell several varieties of the coffee beans plus one house blend. Strangely I don't think that they sell brewed coffee, just the beans. So if you feel like cruising behind big box hardware stores keep your eyes open for NXT. It might have been what you were looking for in the first place.

Large to go drip to bring hubs was about $3.50. The staff are lovely, the food and coffee are prepared thoughtfully with love and are the highest quality. I LOVE this place for a treat!

Edmonton is a city that has no shortage of coffee culture. You don't have to look very far to find…read morea hip cafe or a specialty roaster - they're practically on every block. However, not many have grown and expanded quite the way that The Colombian has. I also don't think that anyone else can say that they get their beans from their own family farm... In Colombia. At the helm of the business? Thee actual Colombian himself, Santiago Lopez along with partner Kristin Panylyk. They opened their first full-service coffee shop with a roastery on site in 2018 - this flagship shop still operates today in Glenora and its where all of the beans get roasted. The business has now expanded to seven locations, including one in Saskatoon, each one acting as a hub in its respective community. EDify Magazine named The Colombian as Best Coffee 2025 and there's certainly no disputing the amount of impact that this Edmonton success story has had on the city's coffee scene. I visited the original Glenora location on a sunny Saturday afternoon and you cannot miss The Colombian's signature marquee signage that lets you know (in lights) that you are in the right place for coffee. The cafe was absolutely bumpin' with every table occupied and a long queue to place orders. Santiago Lopez was buzzing around the space greeting customers and taking the time to give detailed bean recommendations. The vibe is fresh and modern with light woods and black accents. The cafe certainly feels like the place to be on a weekend afternoon and I can only imagine that the rest of their six locations are exactly the same. (In fact, their Parkallen spot happens to be my "neighbourhood cafe" but I usually like to visit the OG when I'm writing.) While the interior of the cafe was quite busy, I found solace outside on the adjoining patio. I will admit right away that I am not much of a coffee purist but I do know what I like. I could order a latte or a mocha but I almost always gravitate toward the seasonal drinks menu (if there is one). These menus are usually where you'll find interesting flavours and creative ideas from the baristas - which is what I'm always on the lookout for. On this visit The Colombian was serving up an Orange Blossom Latte (Cardamom and fresh orange syrup, espresso, steamed milk. Floral and bright - $7.25 for regular size) which fit my desire perfectly. Served with a classic latte art look, this might have been my favourite drink that I've ever gotten at The Colombian! Not only could I taste the coffee, a nice robust roast, but the warming cardamom and hint of orange was very enjoyable. Not too sweet, not too bitter. The balance was just right and this felt like the type of latte that I could see myself ordering again and again. A pleasure! The Colombian offers more than only coffee and you'll also find a food menu. Most items lean toward breakfast but there are some sandwiches as well. I've been a fan of their Loxocado (a smoked salmon avocado toast) in the past but unfortunately it no longer appears on the menu. In its absence I chose the Avocado Toast (Avocado, cilantro, garlic, onion, lime, walnut oil, hempseed - $12.00) with an egg added ($1.50). Crusty bread was well-coated in a thick layer of smashed avocado and I really enjoyed the citrus notes to boost the flavour. Very bright and fresh! The textural elements were great too. I cut into the poached egg expecting a satisfying cascade of golden yolk but sadly the yolk had been cooked through. None the less, a decent avocado toast. However, I definitely missed the Loxocado version. Lastly, I was excited to try their Colombian Guava Croissant (Pastry stuffed with guava filling - $4.50). This reminded me a lot of the Empanadas Queso y Guava that I often get from Paraiso Tropical. I thought that it was very cool that they found a way to make a cafe version of this - a croissant instead of an empanada. I was very impressed by this tasty pastry! Not only was the croissant deliciously buttery but the sweet and jammy guava filling really helped to add a playful Latin spin. It's really nice to see some menu items that actually reflect the Colombian heritage - a great accompaniment to the coffee! The Colombian has set their focus on so much more than running multiple coffee shops. The heart of the business is all about sourcing sustainable, traceable, fairly priced beans. But there's more! They offer coffee subscriptions, fundraisers, and even coffee classes. They've got a blog. They've got a podcast. Plus there's a specialty coffee shop on wheels called The Coffee Mule that can be rented for events. Is there anything that The Colombian can't do?? It doesn't seem so. This Edmonton coffee mogul is impressive to say the least and there's probably a cozy cafe location right near where you live. Why not pop in and grab a latte?
