Java Blend Coffee Roasters

This well established long time roaster has been doing it well for a very long time. It's not just the best coffee in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada its one of the best you'll have in your Global travels. Note: My preference of coffee is buying whole bean and home brewing. When I do drop in to the store the brewed coffee in house is great! For specialty coffees I would check other reviews as I am unable to comment on it due to my straight up java preference but they do look mighty fine. Also great ownership and friendly and prompt staff.

The coffee is always amazing, and I love that it's the same ladies working there for so many years. It's like waking up and grabbing a coffee with your friend. I hope they never leave, they're the best part of it all.

Java Blend often fills the North End of Halifax with the aroma of roasting coffee, as they roast beans right in their store every day. Among their many varieties I have found the best coffee in Halifax, their Fog City blend. Besides coffee beans/grounds and a full cafe, they sponsor a local bike race team and are really an establishment within the community. Check them out.

Excellent coffee with quite a unique taste. Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. Baked goods and specialty drinks are fantastic as well.

I like the Java Blend coffee (taste wise, freshness), but I was disappointed to learn that the "Fairly Traded" label is Java Blend's own invention and that as a roaster they are not actually Fair Trade certified, which means they do not participate in the chain of custody that is supposed to ensure adherence to fair trade regulations from producer to end product. For that reason I prefer JustUs, Laughing Whale or Full Steam Coffee as fully fair trade certified roasters in Nova Scotia. JustUs and Full Steam are available at grocery stores. Laughing Whale is mainly sold at Farmers Markets.
