As you step into Tiger Sugar’s world, you find yourself immersed in the captivating narrative of this beloved boba brand. Your journey begins in Taichung, Taiwan, in 2017, where humble beginnings gave rise to an international sensation. Tiger Sugar, now a cult brand, has become synonymous with excellence in the world of bubble tea. The allure lies not only in the delectable taste of their drinks but in the unique storytelling through the iconic “tiger stripes,” hand-poured syrups that leave a distinctive mark on each beverage. The pride is evident as you discover that imitations abound but fail to match the tried-and-true methods that have stood the test of time. The proprietary 8-hour cooking method for syrups and tapioca pearls ensures each sip is a harmonious blend of tea, milk, and syrup. The grand opening was recently well-attended at The Premium Outlet Collection Mall!

BeanZilla Coffee Co.

BeanZilla Coffee

Family Owned & Operated
Town of Devon

We are a young family based in Devon, AB, who are focused on connecting people with our locally roasted coffee, which is fresh! Our roasting journey started only a short year ago, in November 2022, after seeing how fun, exciting, and creative roasting coffee is. Every bean has unique flavour profiles that exist just from the soil it is grown in, the elevation, or even which part of the world it comes from. As roasters, we strive to bring out the best each bean has to offer and showcase its individuality. While the beans come from all over the world, the roasting happens right in our home. And I know what you’re thinking—yes, our house smells amazing! Our focus on freshness means you won’t find us sitting on grocery store shelves for months. We can mostly be found at farmers markets, online, or in a few vendor-run shops. If fresh roasted coffee sounds good to you, then check us out at Beanzilla Coffee!

Beanies Hometown Coffee

10 Saskatchewan Ave
Town of Devon

Great coffee at home all starts with the bean. Freshly roasted coffee beans, harvested from small-lot crops and then roasted to perfection, offer a truly flavorful profile without any bitterness. Treating coffee as a fresh product instead of a pantry product, with the best flavour profile being within 3–30 days after roasting, a coffee lover enhances the effects, taste, and experience of their morning cup.

At Beanies Hometown Coffee, our beans are roasted right here in Devon. We bring in a fresh batch every week, and the beans are sold by weight, sustainably packaged in airtight jars, on an exchange program to reduce waste. We have a deliciously deep dark roast from Guatemala and a decadent medium roast from Colombia. Although we are not a coffee shop yet, we are located in the Walking Trails Marketplace. Come in for a sample, sit and visit, shop, and soak up some small town life.
