Devil’s Head Coffee was born from our passion for the outdoors and a love for great coffee. As avid adventurers in Calgary and the Rocky Mountains, we often found ourselves awake early, tackling trails with terrible coffee in hand. Determined to change that, we began roasting small batches at home, starting with a popcorn popper then an electric drum roaster to now a professional roaster. What started in our Bowness laundry room soon grew into a full-fledged local Calgary coffee roastery and cafe, supplying fresh-roasted, specialty coffee to our community. From roasting 50 lbs a month for curious neighbors to upgrading to a 5 kg roaster in our dedicated roastery, we’ve come a long way.
Today, Devil’s Head Coffee is proud to offer freshly roasted coffee beans for local pickup, in-store enjoyment, and online delivery across Calgary and Canada. Whether you’re fueling your next adventure or just enjoying a quiet morning at home, we’re here to bring you high-quality, small-batch coffee with bold flavors and an adventurous spirit.
Thank you to all our supporters—we look forward to serving you in the future!

Chris
Meet Chris, the founder and head roaster! He handles everything from roasting and sourcing to customer service and managing our mobile café. With a background in Environmental Consulting, Chris discovered his passion for coffee after an injury sidelined his rock climbing. He embraced coffee roasting, applying scientific methods to craft unique roast profiles. You can find him tinkering with espresso and roasting daily at the shop—stop by and say hi!
Tanis
Tanis has always loved coffee, enjoying 15 minutes of quiet each morning to start her day. Chris, a natural morning person, would jump out of bed with a shot of espresso. While commuting downtown, she would think to herself, “He needs a hobby so I can reclaim my mornings!” Fast forward 10 years, and she inspired him to pursue coffee roasting. Now, she manages the books and events for the business while juggling a full-time HR job and being an amazing mom—truly a superhero!
