50 Best Cafes in Calgary

“The best meals in wheels hot chocolate!!!“

“Such a great cute place to have a break from your day and enjoy some good food and drink“

“I'm a regular. I can't figure out why they haven't raised their prices yet?“

“Love the food! Having worked in the area for years, I have never had a bad meal at Ben's. Love the Breakfast sandwiches, Lunch options - both sandwiches and salads are so good., This Family run business will not disappoint but leave you craving something every day! Ramona“

“My favorite coffee shop in Chinatown. Buns and Coffee an excellent combination!“

“A friend has been raving about these donuts so I had to stop in to try!

The donuts were very good, I appreciated that they were not too sweet and the wide selection of flavours.

I feel 4.5 stars would be more accurate for me. Although the donut was very good, for me personally I wished there had been more donut:filling ratio vs so much filling (but that’s a personal preference).

Or maybe a taster box with 3-4 smaller sized donuts so you could try 2-3 flavours, without eating so much filling at once.

Would recommend if you are in the area looking for a snack!“

“The best Coffee in town i love the place very accommodating staff the barista is the best he made my coffee esp art amazing 🤩 pastry’s are also good we love the chocolate croissant.“

“Pro: Really beautiful flowers and good atmosphere.

Con:
• I stood at the cashier area for a while before someone came and asked what I wanted to order. The whole store had 3 tables at that time, there’s no way they would take that long to notice a customer was there.
• I remember they gave us a tray for our food and drinks, not anymore. Today, when I put the straw in my drink, it spilled everywhere on the table bc it was too full.“

“This place is worlds best! The cats are all happy and calm together, the rules of visiting are realistic. The staff are friendly. I bought a bunch of merchandise but was sad that some things were out of stock. I found the same thing online so I ordered it from on there. Thank you for all you do“

“This place is amazing! The owners of the cafe are so sweet and friendly. The drinks and foods are a great price, and they are always soooo delicious!

The cafe is really clean and tidy. The decor is super adorable as well. You can tell the owners of this cafe really care about all aspects of their cafe 🖤🖤🖤“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem we found looking for a cup of coffee. My wife is from Ethiopia and instantly felt welcomed and at home with Fre the owner. She roasted us fresh Buna and did the traditional coffee ceremony for us. We ended up staying for lunch and had some delicious injera and tibs. The atmosphere is a cool blend of coffee shop and traditional Ethiopian iconography if you’re looking for it. Fre kept coming back and chatting with my wife about their lives growing up in Ethiopia. It was a magical experience for my wife who misses home and we definitely recommend“

“always Nice and friendly staff. coffe taste good and omg the bakery there is delicious 😋 😍“

“It is a cute and cozy breakfast and lunch cafe run by Korean owners. This is already my third visit just this year. They are friendly, the space is clean, and the food is delicious with generous portions. You can really feel the homemade touch in every dish. They do not seem to take reservations, but table turnover is fairly quick. The cafe attracts customers of various ages and backgrounds. Highly recommended 😊“

“Great place for a coffee. Sit outside and just soak up the sun 🌞“

“The company’s exceptional craftsmanship in creating a Lego case for my son’s birthday was truly remarkable. I merely provided them with a photograph from Google, and they meticulously replicated the cake’s appearance.
The cake not only closely resembled the image I provided but also possessed an exquisite taste. I specifically requested a chocolate truthful cake, and they executed it flawlessly.
I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for cake creation, particularly if you desire a personalized cake.“

“Exquisite coffee!! I decided to try Deville after my co-worker Timmy recommended the place. Expectations exceeded, best cappuccino and wow— all the pastries look delicious! Kudos to Deville!“

“Went with a friend earlier today, we were welcomed with a friendly smile and polite greeting by one of the staff immediately, which was refreshing. Browsing the menu was easy and we were offered help promptly, though we didn’t need it. The menu sported a variety of yummy treats, drinks, snacks, and even meals, though I only tried a ginger cookie and the “Calgary fog” tea today. My friend tried the peanut butter-marshmallow square and a hot chocolate. The staff was kind enough to serve our drinks to us at the table we chose!! We were both very pleased, the drinks were lovely and the treats were tasty. The location has a busy parking lot, but overall is convenient as it’s close to transit and the parking lot may be busy but does usually have room for parking in spite of that. Despite the shop itself also being busy at times, I noticed the staff working hard to keep everyone happy, behind the counter running smoothly, and keeping the area tidy. Overall, a great little coffee shop with a lot to offer and fantastic customer service, I will definitely be returning and 10/10 would recommend!! (This review has been cross-posted.)“

“I loved the staff, coffee, food and the atmosphere.“

“Warm and comfy after a chilly Autumn walk by the river“

“The barista was so nice and helpful! The pastries were delicious (almond croissant, cookie and a spinach and feta pastry) and flakey. I asked about gluten free options for a friend and staff was so educated and honest, they had gluten free but couldn’t guarantee it had never been touched by flour, it was so nice to have that information as my friend is extremely sensitive. Overall a 10/10“

“Great place, great people, highly recommend“

“Absolutely the best sandwich I have had! Try the Riches of Italy or don’t go wrong with a Meatball sub! A cappuccino to go was the perfect end to a beautiful fall lunch!“

“We went at 10:35 which is close to their closing time, still they fulfilled our wishes. They are very polite and deserve 5 stars for service. We ordered a milk chocolate - Belgium chocolate drink. That is a must try. So smooth and flavourful also just the right amount of sweet. We also tried the egg sandwich - it was also good.“

“Bought a bag at superstore after seeing a post on your coffee. Awesome coffee and a great story. 😘😋“

“This place is amazing. Everything is plant based and delicious. Their empanadas are unbelievably good. Get the spicy sauce, bring your non plant-based friends as well; their food will appeal to the most stubborn meat eater“

“The staff were very welcoming to our group. We look forward to continuing to connect!“

“Delicious homemade food. Amazing service everytime!!! I go out of my way to pop in here. It’s delicious!“

“Local businesses need support“

“Great atmosphere, great place to sit and enjoy a coffee, however, last visit the Air Conditioner was on so high, it felt like it was about to snow. Barista said controls were locked. Hmmm. Manager should have access. Only seems logical. Overheard others with same complaint.“

“So delicious glad I took a chance. Amazing friendly customer service. Definitely will go back“

“Such a cute little mom and pop hole in the wall spot. I came in craving a good breakfast and ordered the Yummy Breakfast and it absolutely hit the spot. The price was amazing for how much food you get and I was completely full when I left.

They brought us some homemade jam and it was so good. If I could have bought a jar to take home, I definitely would have. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly, exactly how I asked for them.

The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can really tell they care about their customers. They were happy to help, very friendly, and provided excellent service the whole time we were there.

I will definitely be back to try more things on their menu. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cozy breakfast spot with great food and even better people.“

“Can we just talk about Basecamp coffee? AMAZING!!! Thank you! It has replaced tipping point as our household favourite now.“

“Amazing gelato place! Highly recommend“

“Excellent Samosa, I highly recommend this place, delicious Samosa and prices are pretty good too 😋“

“Love their Bacon cheese Bennie!“

“Today I headed down to Gravity Calgary to get some prep done for my upcoming show. I had my favorite dish of theirs called the Jamaican Pie! (Their award winning Vegetable Quiche is my second favourite dish). I paired the pie with their delicious Sweet Potato soup and had Gravity’s Coffee flavour “Insomnia”. It was pay what you want for the coffee day. I cannot rave more about this place. The staff are always cheerful and welcoming. The owner, Andy is so supportive of myself and other local Musicians. There is an amazing Jazz Jam here on Sundays from approximately 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm. (Don’t quote me on the time though.) This place is awesome!“

“A cozy French-inspired café with a charming vibe that feels like a little slice of Paris in Calgary’s Marda Loop. Locals and visitors love the fresh pastries, quiches, and gourmet bites alongside smooth coffee and lattes — perfect for brunch, breakfast, or a casual lunch. The outdoor patio with blankets and a fireplace is a highlight on chilly days, adding to the relaxed atmosphere.“

“Great food (including occasional gluten-free options - just ask) and warm, friendly atmosphere for connecting with “friends new and old”. ☺️“

“Absolutely the best coffee in the city. Fast, friendly service too!“

“Wow! What an amazing find here downtown.
If you're on vacation, from the city, or simply looking for a nice relaxing cup of coffee, some sweets, or a light lunch while enjoying city views, look no further than the Mob Squad on the 21st floor. of the Edison on 9 Ave .
Originally a private venue, this location opened up to the public in approximately 2019.“

“first time going to coffee cats Cafe and had the most amazing sandwich and mocha! quite pleasant place to get some work done as well!“
