Founders discussing coffee roasting in a warm coffee shop environment

Fueled by Passion, Rooted in Community

Maple Hearth Coffee Roasters began with a simple dream: to create a cozy corner where Toronto's community could gather over exceptional coffee. Founded by lifelong friends, avid coffee enthusiasts, and proud Torontonians, our journey started in a small garage with a big vision. The 'Maple' in our name pays homage to our Canadian roots and the warmth of a maple-infused embrace, while 'Hearth' signifies the gathering place, the heart of the home, and the warmth we hope to embody.

Our mission extends beyond brewing and roasting; we aim to foster connections, celebrate craftsmanship, and contribute positively to our local community. From day one, ethical sourcing and sustainable practices have been at the core of everything we do, ensuring that every bean tells a story of quality and responsibility from farm to cup.
