Calgary / Canada
Jamie Parker and Mike Wenzlawe founded Canadian Heritage Roasting Company after developing their roasting instincts an unlikely way — on the fireline, working as wildland firefighters before either of them opened a roastery.
Best for Coffee that funds one tree planting per bag sold
Jamie Parker and Mike Wenzlawe founded Canadian Heritage Roasting Company after developing their roasting instincts an unlikely way — on the fireline, working as wildland firefighters before either of them opened a roastery. That background led to a roastery in Calgary's Ramsay neighborhood, branded as "Canada's tree-planting coffee company," with a tree planted for every bag sold.
The firefighting-to-roasting path gives the company's environmental branding a more literal grounding than most: two founders who spent years working around wildfire and forest land built a coffee business whose central promise is putting trees back.
Between the fireline origin story and the per-bag tree-planting commitment, Canadian Heritage ties its founders' former profession directly to what the business gives back with every sale.

Calgary
Monogram sources direct, long-term relationships with producers across Colombia, Bolivia, Java and Central America, roasting daily in Calgary. Its team has claimed nine Canadian Barista Championship titles and shipped more than 150,000 online orders.
Best for Monogram sources direct, long-term relationships with producers across Colombia, Bolivia
Monogram roasts daily out of Calgary and ships worldwide, built on what it describes as direct, long-term relationships with producers across Central America, South America, Colombia, Bolivia and Java rather than buying strictly through brokers. The company's competitive record is a genuine differentiator: its team has claimed nine Canadian Barista Championship titles (a graphic on its own site also cites ten), and its work has been covered by Barista Magazine, the Canadian Barista Association, Avenue Magazine and LA Magazine. On the retail side, Monogram states it has shipped more than 150,000 online orders, backed by a subscription program with delivery scheduled every two, three, four or five weeks and discounts scaling from 5% to 18% depending on order size, plus free shipping across Canada on orders over $50 (and over $70 to the US). The combination of a repeatedly title-winning competition team and a sourcing story built around named producing countries rather than a single origin story suggests a roastery whose public identity runs through its baristas' results as much as through any one signature bean.

Inglewood, Calgary
The Next Page is an independent bookstore and coffee shop on Calgary's historic Inglewood main street. It pairs a curated book selection with in-house coffee along a historic commercial strip.
Best for Curated new, remainder and used books plus an espresso bar
The Next Page occupies a bay in the Burn Block, a heritage building constructed in 1912 on 9 Avenue SE in Inglewood, Calgary's oldest commercial strip. Co-owners Jeremy and Richard spent three months hand-picking every title they wanted to stock while they waited for the right space to open up; when a bay in the Burn Block became available, they signed the lease the next day. The store keeps new and remainder books on the main floor, with a basement level given over to used books, alongside an espresso bar and tea shop. Floor-to-ceiling windows and shelves with sliding ladders, vintage furnishings and wooden floors carry the building's original character. The shop is locally owned and dog-friendly, offers free book deliveries and special orders, and hosts regular events. It also makes a point of stocking and displaying titles by LGBTQ+ and BIPOC authors. The Next Page has a sister store, Pages Books on Kensington, elsewhere in Calgary. Its stated motto: "Long live the book."
