THE HUMBLE STORY
Our founder Tyler Sobry, started Humble Coffee Roasters in 2020 with a simple mission: to craft exceptional coffee that connects people. What began as a small operation in a friend’s garage, has grown into a trusted partner for cafés, offices, and restaurants across the region.
From day one, we’ve focused on building genuine, ethical relationships with farmers, ensuring sustainability and quality in every roast. But more than that, we’re dedicated to creating a hands-on experience for our partners—one that’s as approachable as it is elevated.
As our business has grown, our downtown Calgary café has become a space where we can connect with our community and showcase the craft we love. Every cup we brew isn’t just about great coffee—it’s about building real, lasting connections with the people we serve. We’re not just about making coffee; we’re about making moments that matter, one cup at a time.
Mission
We’re dedicated to crafting exceptional coffee, building genuine relationships, and delivering a hands-on experience that’s as approachable as it is elevated.
Our Values
Quality Without Pretense
We take coffee seriously, but never ourselves. Every roast is crafted with precision, ensuring a distinctive and elevated experience—without the ego. Just great coffee, done right.
People First
Coffee is about connection. From our farmers to customers, we build real relationships and always prioritize the people behind the coffee.
Work Hard, Stay Humble
It’s not just a motto; it’s how we operate. We put in the effort, refine our craft daily, and never lose sight of what truly matters—making great coffee, the right way.
Integrity & Responsibility
Great coffee starts at the source. We partner directly with farmers, support ethical and sustainable practices, and make decisions that create a positive impact.
Championing Success
Whether it’s training baristas, equipping cafés, or fueling offices with better coffee, we go beyond roasting to help our partners grow and thrive.

Our Coffee & Charities
At Humble Coffee Roasters, every bean tells a story. We source directly from farmers, ensuring ethically grown, sustainable, and high-quality coffee. Our meticulous roasting process brings out the unique flavours of each origin, creating coffee that’s as rich in taste as it is in purpose.
We’re also committed to giving back. Through partnerships with charities like Operation Smile, PUEBLO A PUEBLO, Food4Farmers, and the Coffeelands Foundation, we support initiatives that uplift coffee-growing communities and bring positive change to the world. From farm to cup, every coffee we create is part of a bigger mission.
