A caffeine pick-me-up can go a long way during a road trip.
But downing an energy drink from 7-11 or chugging a Tim Hortons coffee isn’t necessarily the most rewarding experience. Remember, more money stays in your community when you buy something from a local business instead of a chain.
Blackwood Coffee Co. has you covered if you’d like to recharge and get a little culture and a lot of local goodness. With locations in Claresholm and Fort Macleod, the popular coffee shop is perfect for your caffeine-fueled recharge in southern Alberta.
Blackwood has quickly become a community favourite in Claresholm and Fort Mcleod, with residents coming from all over to visit the quaint coffee shop. You might get more than just coffee and a snack; you might also get served up some local gossip.
The Claresholm location is just off Main Street, and beyond artisan coffee, they offer a variety of baked goods, including cookies, corn muffins, danishes, brownie bars, bread loaves, date squares, and Skor bars.
All of Blackwood Coffee’s baked goods are made in-house using local ingredients where possible. The coffee shop also offers gluten-free options.
If you’re looking for something more filling, Blackwood Coffee also has egg bites, artisan sandwiches, scratch-made soups, house-made salads, and more. But you’re here for the coffee, aren’t you?
The coffee shop’s coffee is locally sourced and carefully picked for its taste and quality.
Like sculptors carving marble, Blackwood Coffee’s baristas take coffee to the next level. You’ll be glad you stopped!
From decadent caramel macchiatos to a simple shot of espresso, there’s no shortage of options here. Better yet, the coffee shop’s prices are affordable, and its portion sizes are generous, too. Hey, now, that’s a double-double!
But Blackwood Coffee is about more than just its food and coffee. The Claresholm location is inside a funky old heritage building, defined by exposed brick and a rustic outdoor patio set in a small alleyway with charming lighting. That’s a much better ambience than sipping coffee in your car in a Tim Horton’s parking lot!
“Basically, the only real coffee joint in town. Great vibe and people. Just like it’s supposed to be. Found it traveling through town. Just 1/2 block off the highway. I always like shopping locally because the world needs more places like this,” wrote one Blackwood Coffee patron.
You don’t need to be on a road trip to enjoy Blackwood Coffee because you can also order online for pickup or delivery! You can also purchase a Black Box, a coffee subscription by Blackwood Coffee. They deliver to Willow Creek, Lethbridge, Okotoks, and Calgary.
The Black Box has three tiers: Light Edition, Dark Edition, and Custom Edition. Each has three full bags of coffee roasted as you prefer.
Blackwood Coffee is the place to stop if you’re on the road in southern Alberta and need a jolt of java. And you’ll get extra rewards of affordability, large serving sizes, excellent ambience and maybe even meet some new friends. So forget “roll up the rim’: we think a Blackwood Coffee stop is a “roll up and win” event!
