We Placed in The Roasters Pack's 2026 Canadian Roaster Awards The Roasters Pack just announced their 2026 People's Choice Awards and Noct placed in two categories, 3rd for Best Overall Canadian Roaster and 2nd for Best New Canadian Roaster. What this means for us! These aren't judged by some panel, they're voted on by actual coffee drinkers across Canada, the same people buying our bags and brewing our coffee at home, so landing in the top three for Best Overall Roaster next to some of the best names in Canadian specialty coffee, and 2nd for Best New Roaster less than two years after I started this project and only 3 months into opening our first space, is honestly hard to wrap my head around it. The final results Rogue Wave Coffee out of Edmonton took Best Overall Roaster, Alai Coffee from Vancouver got 2nd, we got 3rd, and Hatch Specialty Coffee and Monogram Coffee rounded out the top five. For Best New Roaster, Labo Coffee out of Edmonton took the win, we got 2nd, Alai Coffee got 3rd, and Non-Conformity and Yours Truly filled out the rest of the list. You can see the full results and the announcement videos here: The Roasters Pack 2026 People's Choice Awards Thank you so much Night Owls! Noct started as a one person team messing around with roasting, pretty much spending my life's savings trying to make this dream real, and now we're a small team with a cafe and a community behind us. Every vote that got us onto this list came from someone choosing to spend their time and money on what we're building. Shop Noct Coffee →
