Who Are We?

We make coffee. But we’re really in the business of waking up the world. We work to unite goodness with prosperity. We dream, then do. And above all else, we wake up and kick ass!

We roast Canada’s #1 whole bean coffee. Our Arabica beans are 100% certified Organic and Fairtrade. We’ve been doing this for over 25 years, smack dab in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.

And our coffee beans aren’t the only award winners around here. Our human beans kick ass too!

Kicking Horse Coffee has been named one of the Best Workplaces in Canada® since 2015. Whoa! We believe creating a workplace that offers great careers and supports your unique lifestyle, whether you’re located in the Rockies, or anywhere else in Canada!

The spirit of Kicking Horse Coffee can be summed up in five words: awake, courageous, intentional, sophisticated, and love, yep, love. These are the values at our core, the foundation of our culture.
