LOCKEPORT TOWN MARKET ROASTERS
ROASTED WITH PERFECTION BY THE OCEAN . . . COFFEE THAT CARES
OUR COFFEE AND WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Our values
We began roasting coffee in 2023 with a focus on quality and small batches. As coffee lovers we got tired of the same old industrialized brands with their cliched marketing strategies. We wanted to put the craft back into coffee. Being in a small fishing village on the shores of the Atlantic ocean, we like to think we take those small town values of friendliness and caring and put just a little bit of that into our coffee. We roast and package by hand, giving a personal touch to each bag that is missing in todays commerce driven world. We like to think that we make coffee that cares.
You’ll also notice from our packaging that we love to celebrate all things Nova Scotia, especially those places that shape us, our history and our communities. We wanted our coffee to tell a story, to a history remembered, and values that today many called old fashioned.
Our Coffee and the Ocean Air!
Our green coffee beans are selected for their highest quality from what is referred to as the ‘specialty coffee’ realm. We then roast in small batches achieving a roast level and profile that brings out the best flavour in each bean. We only work with green coffee importers that ethically source their green coffee beans. For example, our two main products “Tradewinds” and “Gull Rock Dark” are sourced from local farmer driven co-operatives and small independent local farms respectively. Come into the store on the right day and you may even catch the scent of fresh roasting coffee in the air.
Our green coffee is also stored and aged right here in our store's location in Lockeport, by the Atlantic Ocean. Some say you can even taste the salty freshness of the sea air in our coffee, adding a sweetness that few others roasters can match. Myth or fact? Try our coffee and find out!
