Meet the Industry: Pastries Worth Making Room For
Meet the Industry brings together Calgary coffee shop owners, pastry makers, food entrepreneurs and invited guests for an evening of tasting, conversation and new connections.
A great pastry can give customers another reason to stop in—and something extra to add to their coffee order. But finding the right products for your shop means considering taste, pricing, supply and what your customers will come back for.
On October 20, we’re bringing coffee shop owners together to sample pastry options, meet the people behind them and explore potential additions to their menus.
What to expect:

A tasting of pastry options for your café
Introductions to the makers and businesses behind the products
Conversations about wholesale pricing, ordering and supply
Connections with fellow Calgary coffee shop owners
Time to take photos, share favourites and ask questions

Come prepared to think about:

What do your customers regularly ask for?
What’s missing from your current pastry selection?
Which products could pair well with your drinks?
What would you need from a supplier to make a new product work in your shop?

Know a coffee shop owner? Come together!
If you don’t own a coffee shop but know someone who does, we’d love to welcome you both. Bring your friend, enjoy the tastings and take plenty of photos along the way.
This is an opportunity to discover new products, build supplier relationships and explore what could become your customers’ next favourite.
