We saw the signs and decided to check NXT Roasters out. It was a great experience touring the place and learning about each type of coffee bean they had. Will definitely be coming back for more fresh roasted coffee - it makes all the difference! Yum :)
Awesome place if you like Dark roasts! If you are a new wave coffee drinker this place probably isn't for you, but if you are old school then this is the place for you!
This is the ONLY place we want to buy coffee from from now on ., for the excellent flavour and the minimal use of resources to run this great roasteryThis is how business should be run. And always welcomed and greeted so graciously here. One of my favourite mom and pop shops in Edmonton!
10/10 quality and value from this little tucked away jewel! Drinking their coffee has practically ruined all other brews for me. The owners are friendly and clearly proud of their craft.
It's a nice little place and the coffee beans are really good. Grab them on roasting day if you could.
What a gem this spot is! Inconspicuous spot tucked behind the Home Depot on 68 Ave connecting Gateway and Calgary Trail, but totally legitimate and the real deal.To be honest, the beans and roasts NXT does are a bit too dark/bold and oily for my taste, as I typically enjoy super light and fruity cups brewed in a Chemex, but that still doesn't make it any less than a 5-star spot in my eyes. While maybe not my typical preference, I can still tell that the quality and freshness are top notch and this is a spot I will be recommending to all my friends who prefer bolder brews, because this is a dark roast lover's dream.I especially think that NXT is perfectly representative of the small business charm, with super competitive prices ($10 for 250, cheapest I've seen for specialty coffee in Edmonton or Calgary) and friendly and knowledgeable service from the owners/partners up-front.I've tried the Fazenda Santa Helena Brazil and Costa Rica beans, and both were as fresh as it gets, robust, and distinctive. The Costa Rica especially has a nice aftertaste.Definitely give NXT a shot because they deserve much more recognition!
These people are passionate about roasting the perfect coffee bean. Possibly even obsessed. ?
I stopped and purchased some beans from this place and pulled a few shots... Fantastic coffee... I tried a few other places in town and so far none compare. I also have to complement the lady (I believe it was the owner) that sold me the coffee. I asked for 4 bags and she suggested i only take 2, as they could loose their freshness if I didn't use them quickly enough. She even gave me a small bag of extra beans so I could dial in my machine. She wanted to ensure I got the best out of my purchase! Not only do they have fantastic coffee, but the owners take care of their customers. Remarkable!
Was looking to try some local coffee roasters and since we were in the area decided to stop in and check NXT out. We were immediately greeted by the scent of roasting coffee when we walked in. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable, ground up the coffee for us and let us see where they roast their beans. Will definitely be back for more as they were nearly sold out when we arrived. The Guatemala is all they had left and it was delicious, makes great cold brew.
Very nice surprise. Stopped off here for the first time to a very welcoming experience. Even received a mini tour of the roasting area. Can't be the quality and price.
