Lark Coffee Roasters
Creston, BC, Canada
Lark Coffee Roasters is a small-batch roaster in Creston in BC’s Kootenays, started by Ilana Cameron in 2015 and named for the birds of the Creston Valley wetlands. It roasts on a Diedrich, favouring approachable medium profiles that balance origin character and sweetness — blends such as Viewfinder, Blackbird and Handsome Tiger plus rotating single origins and decafs. The roasting studio on 11th Avenue North is open to walk-ins a few hours on weekdays.
