Little Victories Coffee Roasters: Ottawa’s Passionate Coffee Haven

Nestled in the heart of Ottawa’s vibrant downtown, Little Victories Coffee Roasters stands as a beacon for specialty coffee lovers who crave both quality and character. Founded by lifelong friends Jeremie Thompson, an accomplished barista with deep roots in the coffee scene, and Andrew Bassett, a veteran roaster inspired by Melbourne’s world-class café culture, Little Victories is driven by a mission to elevate every cup. Their approach centers on direct trade relationships with producers, resulting in a rotating portfolio of meticulously sourced single origins and blends—roasted on a state-of-the-art Loring Falcon to highlight sweetness and complexity. Their flagship on Elgin Street, alongside cozy Bank Street and the sleek brewbar at Queen Street, offers minimalist yet welcoming spaces where guests can enjoy espresso classics like the Aussie capp or the Melbourne-inspired “Magic,” alongside hand-brewed filter coffee via AeroPress or Loveramics drippers.

Little Victories has quickly earned a place among Ottawa’s most celebrated roasters, regularly nominated for coffee roaster of the year and recognized in top specialty coffee roundups. While their beverage menu is the star, each café rounds out the experience with a curated selection of teas and pastries that pair perfectly with their signature drinks—mocha aficionados will appreciate the house-made chocolate syrup. Whether you’re a purist seeking single-origin expressions or a foodie chasing Ottawa’s next little victory, these cafés deliver a soulful, community-focused vibe that makes every visit memorable.
