Caffe Artigiano - Calgary

Just over 20 years ago, Artigiano—then aka Caffe Artigiano—formed the centre of coffee culture in Vancouver. Our European bravado was known internationally, as we attracted a very loyal following of Vancouverites, celebrities, and the hearts and minds of the coffee industry, back when the movement began. We were known for our vibrant, welcoming environment, the amazing coffee, and naturally the beginning of a new trend that would soon take over the coffee scene with our skills in Latte Art.

Art is in our DNA, and Artigiano is back to the excellence we have always been known for:

• We don’t use automatic espresso machines.
• We take pride in every single product we sell, and in every beverage we create.
• We source from local partners with organic ingredients wherever possible.
• We select our farmers around the world, by being a loyal long-term partner in their business through good times and bad.
• We roast our own unique blends that nobody can duplicate.
• We take our time.
• We like conversation.
• We deliver our loyal guests a consistent and perfect cup of coffee - every time.

This is our continued commitment to our name, and to the true trade of being a craftsman in coffee. Thousands of baristas have come through our cafes over the years, and they have all contributed to what we are today. For that, we are thankful. We now hope to recreate this coffee culture for the next generation..

Ditch Disposable.

We saved 110,000 disposable cups from the landfill last year. That's 14 times taller than Grouse Mountain!

As much of the world, we are on a journey. We don’t just want to check a box of sustainability. Our efforts need to be genuine and something we all truly believe in for it to have a meaningful impact. All Artigiano team members are actively collaborating with the entire organization, guests, and community partners—to create solutions—together.

We are frustrated, as you probably are, when we hear of how many single use cups end up in the landfill. Our goal is to be the best we can be in driving reusable alternatives to our guests, and to continue improving our back of house operations so that our contribution to this waste is minimal.

At Artigiano, this is where we currently stand:

We diverted over 110,000 single-use cups from the landfill in 2019 through the incentive programs we use with our guests!

Still, we remain committed to making more improvements that will reduce our footprint further. These include:
