Came here for YYC Hot Chocolate Fest 2025. I was severely underwhelmed by the hot chocolate. It didn’t come close to what was advertised. I ordered a sammieroos hot chocolate which should have been a white chocolate cookie butter hot chocolate with two house made cookies. Instead, I was given a cup of PLAIN steamed milk that was HALF whipped cream with just one cookie for $11 which I then gave a tip for as well (my mistake, in hindsight). I just feel taken advantage of.

Everything was extremely overpriced for the amount of food and quality that you get. $1.50 for milk alternative is just crazy in this day and age, especially in a tea latte where half of the 12oz cup is water.
The Miso BLT bennie came with overcooked eggs, burnt bacon and only one side of the bennie had tomatoes which was odd. We were the first table sat for the morning, so there is no excuse of being busy.
The tip machine only had options of 18%, 20% or 22% which is a big ask. Overall, I wouldn't return as the value is not there.

Cozy little place but the food and prices aren’t enough to warrant a second visit for me. I didn’t love that it was $11 for a small cup of hot chocolate, and minimum tip on the machine set to 18%. Two entrees, 1 beer, 1 hot chocolate and 1 kids meal came to close to $90 with the tip, with the grapes in the side of fruit browning, while much of the lettuce in my side salad were discoloured/not fresh. Not an excellent experience.

This is my family's favourite breakfast and brunch spot. The kids menu is terrific and staff are always so kind to my child. You have to have the tomato jam with your breakfast potatoes! The chicken and waffle benny is crazy good and they always have unique specials. When I'm feeling something more lunch style, the fried fish sandwich hits the spot.
Parking: There's free parking behind the restaurant and when construction isn't crazy there's plenty of street parking as well.
Fun little spot. Not very many tables. Promptly answered the phone and got me onto an easy 20 minute wait.
Server was terrible, but could’ve been an off day. The person who greeted us (I think she is the owner) was fabulous.
Jerk chicken on naan bread was crisp and unique. The chicken and waffles Benedict was a lot of fun!
Will absolutely be back.

Always worth the wait! Sammies is a delight every single time. Make sure to add yourself to the online waitlist, it’s worth it! Their menu changes a decent amount, but I’ve never had anything I didn’t think was delicious. Their French toasts are always amazing. The service is always friendly and it’s so cozy and lovely inside. One of the best brunch spots in town for sure!

Such a great spot. Had a hard time choosing between multiple items on the menu, server gave amazing recommendations. Even the playlist was on point. Really nice, cozy place that is totally worth an early morning.

Best fries and the hot honey fried chicken sandwich was amazing!
A great place in the heart of Marda Loop. They have a lot of options for brunch and lunch. I’ve had the BBQ Burger and Jerk Chicken Wrap on two separate occasions. I can’t wait to try more of their menu.

The hot chicken sandwich is genuinely perfect. Get it with a slaw salad for added freshness and crush. Julia was lovely- knowledgeable and welcoming. I highly recommend Sammie Café.

Sad that the change in management has led to a huge decline in service and quality. Used to be our go to breakfast spot but today sat for 45 min before receiving our food. Server kind but overwhelmed. Food nowhere near the quality it was prior.
Garlic Mushroom Benny was great!
