Balzac's Coffee Roasters is a Canadian coffee company with sixteen retail locations in the GTA, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Niagara, Kitchener, Stratford, Guelph, St. Catharines, and Kingston.[1] The first Balzac’s café was opened in Stratford, Ontario, in 1996, by entrepreneur Diana Olsen.[2] The company's headquarters and roastery are now located in Ancaster, Ontario.[3] Named after the famous French novelist and famed coffee drinker Honoré de Balzac, the cafes serve traditional and fair trade blends, as well as espressos, hot chocolate and a variety of cold beverages. Each of Balzac's Coffee Roasters locations has a café poster unique to its district.

Balzac's was featured in the sixth season of Dragon's Den; two of the venture capitalists on the show bought into the company.[4] In 2016, the company started a new business, selling coffee beans in grocery stores across Canada, including Loblaws, Sobeys and Whole Foods.[5]
