The Artery Community Roasters

Fantastic coffee! After ordering from them a few times, I signed up for a subscription and am very happy with it. I'm always recommending Artery to people now!

Fantastic specialty coffee, especially if you enjoy lighter roasts and unique varieties. I’ve purchased both the Yellow Cat espresso and Light Through the Cracks, which I prepare as a pour over. The latter is a gesha, which you don’t really find elsewhere in Ottawa. The fact that this business does good in the community adds to its value. Let’s support more businesses like Artery. I hope they can eventually open a retail location closer to the core of the city.

The coffee itself is incredibly flavorful and the quality is incredible: easily 5/5 for the product itself. I ordered Funky Fruit after trying and voting for it as best coffee at Ottawa Coffee Fest. The flavor is perfection if you want a special super fruity but also pleasantly strong pour over coffee. Seriously one of the most memorable coffees I've ever had, although it's very pricey it is worth it as a once in a while treat.

The issue was how difficult it was to pick up the coffee after I had ordered and payed for it - rating (2/5) for convinience. As someone who works 9-5, I had no way to pick up my coffee as the business is only open 2 weekdays from 10am-3pm. I live nearby and am not looking to pay shipping on coffee that I can easily pickup. After talking with Will, who was very nice, he agreed to leave the coffee outside for me to pick up after they had closed which was kind of him.

It's just unfortunate to have to make special arrangements to pick up a bag of coffee due to inconvenient/almost non existent hours of operation. As an overall experience id say 3.5/5 but rounded to 4 due to their quality product.

Artery Community Roasters is my new go-to for coffee. I tried the sampler pack and every blend was unique and flavourful. I ordered a couple huge bags of my favourites to last through the winter and a cup from Artery is the perfect way to start a snowy day. At every step of the way, the people who work at Artery have been kind, friendly, helpful and deliver exactly what they promise, all with a personalized touch. A great company with great coffee. What more can you ask for?

Amazing coffee and wonderful service. We discovered The Artery about a year ago and have been ordering from them ever since! Tons of delicious options, fast shipping and an ethical mission - what’s not to love?!
