Our Story

A neighborhood roastery, rooted in tradition.

Al-Qitta brings the abundance of the Middle Eastern souk to North Edmonton. Every nut is hand-selected from trusted growers, roasted in small batches, and seasoned by feel — the way our families have done for generations. Walk in, scoop a sample, and let the aroma do the talking.
