Snark Coffee in Renfrew, Ontario located along Burnstown Road in the heart of the Ottawa Valley, Snark is a female-owned, small-batch roastery that delivers coffee with clarity, character, and a conscience.

Set on a serene one-acre property backed by protected wetlands, Snark Coffee is more than just a roaster—it’s a bold voice in the industry, challenging convention and championing climate-first practices with every bag of beans.

Powered by Air. Roasted with Intention.

What makes Snark stand out isn’t just its name—it’s the fluid bed roasting technique that drives its flavour. Unlike traditional drum roasters, Snark’s setup uses convection air to evenly move and roast the beans, resulting in a cup that’s smooth, balanced, and consistently fresh.

Even more impressive? Their entire operation is electric-powered, meaning no fossil fuels, no unnecessary waste, and maximum flavour with minimal footprint. This rare commitment to electric roasting puts Snark at the forefront of Canada’s sustainable coffee movement.

From Crop to Cup with Care

Snark Coffee doesn’t just source beans—they celebrate coffee farmers and their deep-rooted expertise. Every origin is thoughtfully chosen, every roast calibrated with precision, and every cup tells a story. By choosing Snark, you support transparent trade, inclusive sourcing, and a meaningful relationship with the global coffee supply chain.

Plus, their commitment extends beyond the roastery: Snark packs coffee in biodegradable bags, recycles burlap sacks and shipping pallets, and offsets their carbon footprint annually through Clime Co—a company focused on verified carbon offsetting.

Coffee With a Point of View

True to their name, Snark Coffee doesn’t hold back. Their blends—from the smoky “Nightfall” to bright, zesty “Ethiopia Sidamo”—each carry a personality. “She has something to say,” they note. The only question is: Which roast will speak to you?

From approachable medium roasts to rich, dark espresso blends, Snark’s offerings are all ridiculously fresh, beautifully packaged, and full of intention.
