Paradigm Spark is a new high-end coffee roaster and cafe on the eastern edge of downtown Calgary
I encountered Paradigm Spark, and its owner, David Kim, when it was a pop-up coffee bar inside the Beltline’s Butter Block bakery. A few days later, it was gone. But thankfully it reappeared, some months later, as a stand-alone coffee roaster, barista classroom and cafe on the eastern edge of downtown Calgary.
Yes, you can order standard espresso-based drinks, albeit from elevated beans. But here is a chance to step up to pour overs or flights of single-origin beans from, say, Colombian Indigenous small growers, and pair it with an inhouse-baked croissant.

Like what you’ve tasted? Then pick up some Paradigm Spark roasted beans or, if you’re feeling flush, connoisseur David Kim roasts.
Welcome to Calgary a place that takes its coffee very seriously.
