In Edmonton we have our own local bean roaster, Java-Jive (JJ), who does a fabulous job - the beans are ALWAYS fresh (they roast small vats of green beans the previous night for the next morning's retail shipment, and hourly for personal/consumers) and never bitter.
You can walk-in for a tour of the place, which is stunning to see. The hardest decision is which roast to pick.
They are so much cheaper, fresher and better tasting than SBux.
If I am in a town with out a JJ, I ensure I go to TH before SB.
