Little Victories Coffee Roasters: Ottawa’s Pursuit of the Perfect Cup

Nestled in Ottawa’s vibrant neighborhoods, Little Victories Coffee Roasters radiates an energy that’s equal parts craftsmanship and community. Founded by Jeremie Thompson—an accomplished master roaster, barista, and espresso technician—and Andrew Bassett, a barista whose skills were honed in Melbourne, this independent roaster draws on deep expertise and world travel to elevate Ottawa’s specialty coffee scene. The duo’s relentless pursuit of “little victories” is etched into every detail, from the sleek, cream-accented interiors to the Australian-inspired drinks like the crowd-favorite Magic coffee and Aussie cappuccinos. There’s an unmistakable sense of pride in how they approach each roast and pour, fostering a space where both coffee aficionados and casual sippers find their place.

Little Victories’ coffee portfolio is a testament to their passion for excellence. Their range covers everything from vibrant single origins—like the Colombia Viviana Realpe Pink Bourbon and Guatemala CCDA Microlot Natural—to signature blends such as the 7-10 Split Espresso and Perfect Dark. All coffees are roasted in-house to accentuate sweetness and complexity, using precision equipment like matching pink Slayer espresso machines and Mahlkönig grinders. Guests can enjoy manual brews via AeroPress or Loveramics drippers and expect a tightly curated pastry selection to complement the drinks. With a focus on traceability and quality, this roaster not only showcases superb coffee but helps set new standards for Canadian coffee culture—one little victory at a time.
