Awesome spot just off the Bow in Eau Claire. Great food and staff. Found it by accident and might have a new favourite coffee and bite stop!
A very nice, high-quality coffee shop and brunch spot. The coffee is excellent, and it’s a great place to enjoy brunch with a comfortable seating area both inside and on the patio. They offer a good variety of brunch options, suitable for different tastes and preferences.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere. The interior is cozy and well designed, making it a pleasant place to relax, work, or meet friends.

My daughter and I keep coming back for the afternoon tea. For $45/person it is one of the best priced afternoon teas in Calgary. The selection you get is fresh and tasty. The scones, tuna sandwiches, macarons, and the carrot cake are my favourites. The tea selection is also nice and I really love the teapots and teacups. Nathan has been our server twice, he took our order promptly, and is very attentive. We will be back soon. Thank you!
