50 Best Coffee Shops in Calgary

“Congress Coffee Company feels more like a vibrant community hub than a corporate chain. The welcoming staff and variety of arts events make it a standout spot. While they’re known for their expertly roasted coffee, I personally love their teas paired with a sweet treat. The butter tarts, in particular, are irresistible and keep me coming back for more. Whether you’re there for the drinks, the snacks, or the atmosphere, Congress Coffee is a gem!“

“this guy told me to go here and it was sooo goood the xin shao morning coffee was the best on the menu“

“The latte I had at Sought and Found was well-balanced and exceptionally smooth, with a clean finish that highlights the quality of their beans and milk. The café has a calm, focused atmosphere—great for solo visits or light work. You can tell the staff take their craft seriously, and it shows in every detail of the drink.“

“Love eating here when I can. Staff super nice. Somebody ate my sandwich thinking it was their’s (honest mistake) and everyone was super apologetic. I didn’t really mind since i was already eating the mac and cheese (i was starving lol) but they offered me free coffee! Mac and cheese was awesome. Beef wrap also pretty good :)
Sorry if mac and cheese is blurry, camera bugging out.“

“Frida’s Coffee Shop has been my go-to spot ever since it opened. As soon as you walk in, Frida—the owner—greets you with a warm smile. Shaheen and Juma are also incredibly friendly and always attentive to customers’ needs. The shop is cozy, clean, and just a few blocks from the Kerby C-Train station. If you’re driving, West Village offers heated parking on P1, and there’s also an Indigo open lot across the street. It’s a convenient place for a business meeting or simply catching up with friends. Truly an amazing spot whenever you need a dose of caffeine.“

“This is my boyfriend’s and my favourite coffee shop. The atmosphere is so cute, they have games to play, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. They make the drinks quickly, and the coffee is excellent quality—perfect for starting the morning or for an afternoon pick-me-up. I would highly recommend!“

“These guys came to my rescue and did a last minute order for approx 20 people. Food was amazing and the service was even better. Would recommend this location 100%.“

“Love Euphoria. Great and tasty selection of pasties and drinks. Highly recommend!“

“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“

This was our first time visiting Banff, and Adola Cafe was the first place we stopped for coffee—and our last before heading back to the U.S. What a beautiful way to bookend our trip!

Our barista, Ingi, made our coffee absolutely perfect. You can tell they care deeply about the craft. The coffee was rich, smooth, and flavorful, and the pastries were fresh and delicious.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was warm and friendly. We highly recommend Adola Cafe to anyone who appreciates quality coffee and pastries. It’s a must-visit spot in Banff!“
