This coffee shop in Edmonton was named one of the best in North and Central America
It doesn’t get any better than this in Edmonton!
The Colombian, a local coffee shop, was named in the Top 100 Best Coffee Shops in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. In this list, The Colombian managed to break the top 15 coffee shops, being named exactly 15th on the list. They were named in this list alongside 14 other Canadian shops, but they were the only ones from Edmonton to be listed.
As for the ranking itself, it looks at coffee quality, barista expertise, customer service, innovation, ambience, sustainability, food and pastry, consistency, and community impact.
It’s an honour to be named, and we couldn’t be prouder of Edmonton representing the coffee community.

“Our co-founder Kristin flew to San Diego for the World of Coffee to hear it announced in person,” the team said on Instagram. “A ballroom full of coffee people from across the continent. The energy was something else.”
If you aren’t too familiar with The Colombian, it’s an Edmonton local coffee shop with six locations in the area, one more location in Saskatoon, as well as a coffee truck. Its Glenora location is its original, providing the best example of the excellent service and food it provides.
The roastery launched in 2017 at local farmers’ markets, expanded in 2018 into a full-service coffee shop after co-founders Santiago and Kristin discovered their passion in Colombia on their family coffee farm, “Finca Santa Rita.” Now, while they continue to support their family coffee farm from afar, they focus on working with small producers who provide them with exceptional quality coffee.
All in all, not only do they have amazing coffee, but they source it sustainably, and with care you won’t see from every shop.
There’s definitely a reason it was named one of the best on the continent. It’s about time you see it for yourself.
