A local coffee shop has walked away with small business award of the year.

The 35th annual Small Business Calgary Awards ceremony took place Thursday night at the BMO Centre and Rosso Coffee Roasters took home the title.

The cafe has been in Calgary for ten years and has grown to seven locations.

The Chamber of Commerce said part of Rosso’s success can be attributed to its loyal clientele who continues to spread the word about its brand.

Past winners of this award include Village Brewery, Vets To Go and Fiasco Gelato.
