Rebel Bean Coffee Roasters - Okotoks

It was the sign that caught my attention. Anytime I see 'coffee roasters', I have no choice but to pull the car over and stop. It's in my DNA, what can I say.It looks like an old house, a bit weather beaten, with a few mismatched tables and chairs within the picket fenced front yard, peeling paint, a few dying flowers, and I'll admit, I did hesitate and paused partway up the walk to confirm I wasn't about to enter someone's home. The tip off however, was the delightful aroma of espresso that trailed a patron as she opened the screen door and passed me with coffee cup in hand.Stepping inside, I was engulfed by fumes of delight, and the welcoming sounds of friends deep in conversation, seated in armchairs, at tables, both within the main retail section, and gathered in secondary rooms that at one time would have been bedrooms or perhaps the dining room. Great atmosphere, good vibes.The low counter displayed various bakery items, and served to separate the kitchen staff in the kitchen from the customers. I was greeted with a big smile, and when I asked about their freshly roasted coffee beans, I was directed to the Roast Master, who, while pointing to the vacuum sealed bags along the wall, gave a brief description of the virtues of various blends.I had just finished lunch, and as much as I would have enjoyed a brief respite on the front lawn with coffee in hand, I purchased a pound of their Mexican blend, and headed for home.It appears to be an enjoyable place to visit, and Ma Kettle and I have intentions to return sooner rather than later, to give their arm chairs a test drive.

Great to get a coffee bean that is roasted locally, and with great customer service! Great price with exceptional taste! Many seasonal blends!

Coffee is great and there is a very nice variety of healthy and indulgent treats. Very fresh and yummy. They get busy though and sometimes get overwhelmed so it can be a bit of a wait. It is not Starbucks. Don't go if you just want to dash in and dash out. This is the place to meet a friend, sit, relax, chat and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

Fun for everyone!_Top three things that make it all worth it:_1.
