Served south of Calgary, you can find the up-and-coming Red Engine Coffee Roasters based out of Lethbridge! These home-grown grounders launched their business in 2010 and have built a dedicated local following around their café, Sonder Coffee, that offers an array of both coffee and food options.

Our SkipTheDepot selection from Red Engine Coffee Roasters is the Uteuzi Jimbo blend from Kenya that is great for giving you an extra jolt in the morning. This sweet blend incorporates sugar, lemon, and chocolate, creating a well balanced brew that will raise eyebrows with how good it is.
