50 Best Coffee Shops in Calgary

“Great coffee to go and cozy atmosphere. Totally recommend this place. The service is great.“

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

“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!“

“Service is friendly and prompt! The cafe is at the bottom of the Plains Midstream Plaza so there are often office workers visiting. The ambience is usually quiet and good for getting work done. I got the matcha oat latte and it was alright. The oat milk is a bit thin. They have a small selection of baked goods. Next time I would try something other than matcha.“

“Stopped here for a coffee and a quick bite. Love this place. My latte, made with Ethiopian coffee beans was amazing. The chicken wrap was delicious and could definitely be shared by two people. Fre, the owner, was friendly and we had a wonderful conversation. Highly recommend this little gem!!!!“

“A bright, open coffee shop with friendly staff and plenty of space to sit and enjoy a coffee with friends, or watch the world go by. Lots of natural light, and the tables and chairs are well spaced. The iced latte I had was delightful, and I got a tasty pear and jam grilled cheese to go!“

“Bit dissappointed with the quality of the coffee.. not sure if the drip coffee is from Vietnam or the french variation which has a different more smoky woody taste. The coffee was strong, but it had a different flavour profile that was off since my visit to Vietnam. Hard to pin the flavour profile due to the condense milk mixed in, but it's definitely not what you'll typically have in Vietnam or maybe just the parts I've traveled to.

In my opinion overall, I found the coffee okay. Service was great and the Salty Egg Cupcake so-so.“

“I just went there an hour ago, and I loved it!!!
I assume it's a family owned business, cause there was a sweet little girl who welcomed us so nicely & cashier lady was professionally explained choice of shots for my iced latte.
And free cookie treat for christmas was.. 100 out of 10, so great, u have to sell it or share the recipe plzzzz i couldn't stop myself licking crumbs on my fingertip lol

I will def visit again next time, merry christmas and happy new year for the whole lovely team <3“

“June 2023, I was pleasantly surprised that my favorire Coffee Bun is now in Calgary! I’ve been a customer of Papparoti in Dubai for almost 10 years! The coffee bun—soft, warm, and perfectly buttery with just the right hint of coffee flavor. The outer crust was slightly crisp, giving way to a rich, fluffy center. It’s the kind of treat that pairs perfectly with a cup of strong coffee.

Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Since my first visit, I’ve brought my family back many times! And lot of coffee bun take away! Highly recommend!“

“Visiting from Ontario, best donuts I've ever had. Best Boston cream bar none!“

“Best burgers and panini’s out there, excellent staff, reasonably priced. I was hooked when they originally opened and make a pilgrimage when ever possible from west coast. Unfortunately I missed seeing Nick or John, but it is wonderful too see their success.“

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

“If you are looking for a different culinary experience, Primary Colours is a must. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable and respectful! Each dish was so flavourful and satisfying. We had the Candied Hazelnuts and the fries as the snack foods. We had the Small Plate Ginger Beets. For the Large Plate options we chose the Burger Beef Dip and Mushroom Cannelloni. Dessert was the cheesecake and the Not so Lemon tart with Saskatoon sorbet. The unusual flavours were absolutely delightful. We will definitely be going back!“

“*This is not a sponsored post* NW people when you get tired after costco or walmart trip dont forget to stop by Chai N Bites. They serve some unique chai and other drinks combinations. We went today and started our journey of sampling with the “Pan chai”. It turned out to be so aromatic and flavourful and I honestly loved it. Then we sampled “Kesar pista Lassi and Coconut Lassi” which were yummy as well. We finally ordered following: Vada pao: bang on Spice level, that chatkara was there Pinwheel Samosa: So crispy and light snack to munch Dabeli and Veg sandwich: both were equally delicious If you want to try something new and unique give them a chance.. Thank you Chai N Bites for satisfying our street food craving. *They are not on google maps yet, they are loacted in sage hill plaza next to cobs bread*“

“My family and I love walking to Good Earth Cranston on the weekends for a coffee and a treat. Sometimes I swing in for a coffee in my way to work in the mornings too. The new management is so welcoming and gracious, even when I’m there alone with my young daughter. Definitely a neighborhood favorite, and I love they have later hours now! Thank you Ana and team.“

“As a former resident of Toronto, I've noticed that at nearly every coffee establishment, the coffee is just how I prefer it: dark and strong. This place consistently delivers on that expectation. The food is also delicious; my go-to items are the berry muffin, mac and cheese, and Tuscan tuna salad. Such a comfy environment to relax and hangout.“

“Milano’s is one of my favourite spots to have coffee meetings with clients!! The coffees are amazing, the patio is relaxing, and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend trying this place out if you’re looking for a good coffee and relaxing atmosphere.

Parking: 11th always have tons of places to park along the road for 2-3hrs for only a couple of bucks.“

“Monogram Coffee is a Great espresso bar that serves espresso with a glass of cold water, which is how it's supposed to be. Highly recommend this place to everyone who loves coffee and visits Calgary, Alberta
I liked the music and the barista was professional and kind“

“Love this place. Especially their smoothie, matcha latte, and salads. Friendly stuff, healthy food and clean)“

“The horchata at Good Earth is quite good – refreshing with a nice balance of sweetness and spice. While it tastes great, I’m not entirely sure if it’s worth the price point, as it feels a bit on the expensive side for what you get. However, the customer service really stands out. The staff are friendly, and I had a positive experience when the gentleman gave me a pass for the washroom, which was much appreciated. Overall, it's a solid spot for a treat, but it might leave you debating its value.“

“A solid place to get your coffee ☕️ fix. Being located on 17th means that finding parking nearby is certainly hit and miss, but if you are walking in the area then no problem.

It is nice that they have an outdoor patio but it would help to have umbrellas outside because the sun can certainly beat down in the South facing patio. In the winter, it would be great if they had patio heaters.

Inside, it is a pretty simple setup with the counter in the middle and seating along the sides.

The latte was good and well-presented.

The pricing is reasonable too.“

“Why did you change your beef chubbies?! They're now thin and tough, can hardly call them chubby. I come here every second Sunday with dad for years and always have the beef chubbies and eggs....so we were disappointed today when our food came.“

“If you love fabulous coffee, great food and lovely people, @goodearth.eastvillage is your place! You know when people say if you want an honest opinion, you should ask a child…? This is what my 5 year old daughter had to say: “I LOVE this place! Everything is amazingly delicious! I had so much fun that I wish I could come every day!” On the picture with her, are the sweetest people you will ever know, Zakaria and Abier - also owners of this lovely place. Customer service is impeachable, the place is just so beautiful, the location is so nice! Perfect place to go by yourself, with your family or friends (if you have a dog, also welcome, which is just another plus!!!) or even if you are looking for a nice space for small team meetings… close by you will also find a playground and a little dog park. And… super close to the river, so you can also go for a nice walk, just have a lovely day… 100% recommended!“

“Staff is young and I appreciate that. They are so polite and courteous. Great place to stop for a rest and enjoy some ice cream.“

“We met this friendly roaster at the Bears Paw Farmers Market and also visited his little cafe . We can’t say enough about his work ethic and passion for his new craft. We highly recommend trying this new start up business.“

“One of the top 3 places to get espresso in Calgary. Great staff, excellent coffee ... and they gave the people what they want, connection to the world … now with internet! (and credit a card option for payment) Beano truly is the gift that keeps giving.“
