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!“

“Beautiful atmosphere. The place is not very big, but very cozy. The service truly deserves 5 stars — the woman behind the bar is always friendly, kind, and professional. She gives excellent service every time, is very responsive, and it’s always a pleasure to talk to her. She even helped us clean up after we accidentally spilled hot chocolate, which we really appreciated. Honestly, she deserves a bonus for the way she treats customers!

As a coffee lover, I can say the quality is excellent — very well prepared and truly delicious. It’s not easy to find coffee like this in Calgary. The food was also tasty and stored properly and neatly.“

“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“

“Adola's is a nice, cozy place to grab a coffee whether you’re planning to stay and relax for a while or just stopping in while continuing on your journey. The owner is a wonderful lady, and her staff are always friendly and welcoming.

They also have a great selection of baked goods and beverages, and the coffees often come with cute designs on top which is a nice touch.
