our little corner

A coffee house that feels like your kitchen.

Saint Roast opened in 2016 in an old bicycle shop on Alberta Street. We kept the brick walls and the big front windows, added a Probat roaster in the back and a long oak table for everyone to share.

Our baristas know most regulars by name — and their order. The coffee is roasted every Tuesday in the room behind the counter, so the whole street smells like it.
