About Traffic Coffee

Traffic Coffee is a Montreal roaster focused on micro-lots and nano-lots, small batches of coffee from specific farms or plots. Its coffees, including single origins and blends, are served at cafés like Crew Collective.

It suits coffee lovers who enjoy tasting the differences between origins and processing methods. Single origins are good for slow brewing at home, while blends work well for daily espresso or filter coffee. If you have visited Crew Collective in Old Montreal, you may already have tasted it. A bag of beans makes a simple gift for any coffee fan.
