This little ma and pa cafe in the heart of Fishcreek park. Menu is limited to soups, coffee, sandwiches and of course hard ice cream. Staff are friendly and debit and credit is taken here. Lots of sitting area for the size of the cafe but also lots of picnic tables outside too. Overall great place of a light snack and ice cream while strolling through Fishcreek Park. read more

This cute little ice cream and treat shop is located in beautiful fish creek park in Calgary. I like to ride my bike here regularly. It is close to the delicious Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant! You can get anything from delicious ice cream to a scone or baked good! Love it here! read more

The location of this cafe is lovely, set in Fish Creek Park. The log building is quaint. However, the food is lackluster. The baking that is kept in the cooler always tastes stale and seems to have absorbed odors from other items. The ice cream isn't anything special. This place could be amazing, but it is below average. read more

Located just a stones throw away from Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant is a tiny cafe called Annie's. We decided to stop in after brunch for a little dessert. Lots of selection to choose from including soups, sandwiches, salads, ice cream and pastries. You can even get wine, beer and cider if you're feeling boozy. Pastry case is filled with all types of goodies. Muffins, scones and cinnamon buns to round things out. - Passionfruit ($3.75) - one scoop is $3.75, two is $5.75. Add another dollar for a waffle or sugar cone. O is apparently in love with their passionfruit flavour but I couldn't quite pinpoint what it tasted like to me. It didn't have a hint of passionfruit. Kind of tasted like a really light, subtle peach flavour. This ain't no Village Ice Cream. Cute spot to drop in if you're walking/biking/Pokemon Go'ing in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it. read more

Service was extremely bad, the servers where Rude and selfish. The employees do not consider customers and could not care less about their business. It is over priced in comparison to Tim Hortons or even star bucks for coffee. I am extremely disappointed in the customer service and lack there of. read more

I remember visiting Annie's when I was a little girl before the buildings had been bought and refurbished into what they are now. After Annie's and it's more sophisticated neigbour, the Ranche Restaurant, opened, it was a favourite summertime hangout with friends. For anyone living in the neighbourhoods surrounding Fish Creek park in the south end of the city, Annie's has been a popular seasonal destination for years - ice cream being the biggest draw. It usually opens up in May and closes down by mid-September every year, so check their website for updated hours of operation Annie's has undergone many changes in management over the years, so there is often a new menu and approach taken to the baked goods and lunches served each summer. The food is almost always top notch however, with ingredients and dishes courtesy of the Ranche's kitchen and made from inspiring combinations of local ingredients and exotic flavours. The honey-melon dressing on a simple spinach salad used to be my favourite, and the date squares and pear and mascarpone turnovers can't be missed - if they haven't already sold out. For a quick breakfast or morning coffee, the muffins and other baked goods are always good value. However, be sure to bring your credit/debit with you if you plan to ride your bike down for a lunchtime meal - the prices can be quite high for a family order, and most leisure riders are not prepared for the extra expense with enough change in their pockets. Annie's is best visited in the mornings or late afternoons, to avoid the midday rush. With its deep roots in Calgary's homesteading history, and natural (although not entirely native) setting in Fish Creek Park, it's worth a visit by bike, car, or foot for any Calgarian or visitor looking for a bite of the past. read more

My wife was super excited when she saw the historic building housing this bakery and cafe. Two stars mostly for price, and limited selection for a spot that bills itself as a bakery. The items on offer were pretty tasty, but neither old fashioned farm style, nor particularly fancy for a shop run by CRMR, and two items cost $7+. This price tag would be easier to swallow if the nondescript interior of the shop had a rustic atmosphere, like the heritage building that houses it. Two stars is a bit harsh, I realize it's tough to make a profitable seasonal business out of such a venture, but I was disappointed after going out of the way to try it out. A more apt name like Annie's Snack Shack would set expectations appropriately, and adding a few rustic touches would set the mood better. read more

Annie's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Someone needs to give the poor staff direction and a couple lessons on etiquette and professionalism. On a positive note, the baked goods and coffee is tasty at Annie's. Too bad the same can't be said for the rest of their food. The pretzels are small and dry, the salads and sandwiches are nothing special at all. The people working at Annie's always seem frazzled and have trouble taking the simplest of orders. They would probably do great with some more direction, organization and a smile here and there. They lack the refinery of all their competitors. Truly a shame for such a beautiful place to have such a mediocre product and terrible service. read more

Can't beat the location - right in Fish Creek Park - living close by makes it a great spot to walk to for lunch. The building and surroundings are charming and the food is usually ok. However, it's too pricey for what you get. If the prices were more reasonable I would definitely make this a weekly habit for lunch but, to me, it's simply not worth it, other than maybe for a token visit each summer. read more

While the food there is really good (soups, salads, sandwiches, cookies, ice cream, and even some gluten free treats) and it is a great place to pop in while biking through Fish Creek Park, the staff can be quite rude. The woman taking orders impatiently sighed and rolled her eyes at me, twice, when I asked her a question regarding the beverages that were offered. VERY unprofessional! I thought the soup nazi was only on the Seinfeld show. read more

Great little stop, whether going through the park or if you live nearby to walk. Grab a coffee and treat and sit in the garden. Always enjoyable. We usually walk down a couple times a week in the summer. read more

I really like this place. Close to Nature. Coffee is really good and I really like drinking it outside on their patio. Oh and the ice cream is delicious. Hidden gem in Fish Creek Park. read more
