We’re serving a fantastic espresso by local roaster Sierra Las Minas from Giovanni’s farm in Liquidambar, Guatemala. Due to its excellent mix of Caturra, Catuai, and Bourbon varietals, this espresso features cocoa characters with a hint of berry sweetness. Combined with steamed milk, its exceptionally smooth body and richness shows strongly. Come by the cafe for a taste!
Last month we had a special show with two new artists from our talented corner of the Earth. This week our resident art group Emmaus returns with their new March show entitled, “Who Do You Say That I Am?” Come down during regular hours and check it out.
The House Coffee Sanctuary is thrilled to present Sykamore this Saturday along with Life As A Song. It’s going to be a great show complete with a Christmas theme! The Jingles rockin’ the Christmas songs (with CD available), be there for 730PM!

On Saturday, the 24th of November, Raindance/Alberta Buzz are hosting a night of National Film Board beginning at 7 PM and continues until 9 PM. See ya there.
Open Mic this Thursday at The House Coffee Sanctuary. I read this comment from Michael a week ago about playing Open Mics back in the day. It has been amazing to see so many fantastic performers that have played our stage in their early days go on to bigger things. Maybe Open Mic is the beginning of a career in music for you? Come down and play on Thursday @ 7pm.
One Saturday a month the Alberta Buzz magazine and Raindance Calgary team up to screen films in the shop. These evenings are great times to celebrate local filmakers and film in general.
Another Sun N Salsa has come and gone and wow! We were so thrilled to be a part of it yet again. The sun was definitely shining (in fact, we can’t recall an event when the sun wasn’t shining!) This year we ran out of lemonade by late afternoon, lesson learned, we’ll have 100 litres ready to go for next year! Thanks to all who stopped by and had a drink and said hello in the shop. Be sure to stop on by before next year’s Sun N Salsa 2013!
The House Coffee Sanctuary is serving up a duo of fine espresso, with Colombian Huila Suaza, and Nicaraguan Los Placeres. Aka Sir Brighton and Ms Honey Prep. We have officially added our third roaster, 15 Kilo a.k.a. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, to further supply our solely Single Origin Espresso and Drip Coffee market. We now carry their Bolivian North Yungas alongside our current stock of the fantastic Sierra Las Minas and Fratello Coffee.
Three of the best roasters/sourcers in Calgary, what a milestone!
The House Coffee Sanctuary is proud to hosting the 2012 version of MUSIC IN THE PARK! This year we’ll feature more awesome local bands including: Septembryo, Star Fleet, Krystle Love B., Chris Gheran, and The Heart & the Flame.
But that’s not all, this year we’ll feature ART in the PARK where net proceeds of all sales will go towards ACT Alberta, the provincial organization responsible for addressing human trafficking.
See you at Riley Park, Kensington, June 24, 2012 @ 1230.
