    Café to stay

    $3.50 for the smallest coffee in town. No wifi, bad reception for street wifi, no prices for pastries, no credit card. Time for the owners to put on an apron and work the counter if they're that tight for cash. There's a Good Earth just west of there. Go there.

    Quiche with side of tomatoes, greens & a balsamic vinegar sauce.

    One of my favorite places for a coffee fix and has a Vietnamese ice or hot drink. Their coffee isn't sour or too acidic and has just the right amount of robust flavor. A great place for any activities from people watching, work, meet up or catching up with friends. I tried their quiche and it was great, soft and fluffy with right amount of crust texture and the balsamic offers a unique taste with a side of veggies. Price is on point and affordable for what you get, and I would go back again.

    Visited this spot to grab coffee with a friend, and to be honest, what has taken me so long to try it out is because it does not have wifi. This is a place where you go to disconnect from social media and visit with a friend or write in a journal. This is not the place to bring your laptop to and work. I ordered a latte, and it was excellent. I also appreciated the foam art and the fact that it's served in a bowl versus a cup. If you want to catch up with an old friend and have uninterrupted quality time, this is the place to go.

    Stopped in for the first time in ages, and I have to say, it was a far cry from my previous experiences here. Friendly, smiling staff, for one! On a late Sunday afternoon, it was quiet inside, easy to find a seat by the window, and my Almond Milk London Fog was served to me in a cup the size of a cereal bowl. Delicious! Reasonably priced, too. I'll try to come back more often now :).

    It had been 12 hours since I ate, between working all morning and then flying to Calgary eating had sort of taken the back burner. So I was entirely famished by the time I stumbled into this cute cafe. I was immediately walking back out the door when I saw they specialized in crepes. I have not had a single good crepe experience, ever. I walked down the street hoping for better and realized there was nothin else to grab, so humbled I returned. The vanilla bean latte over ice was a great little pick me up. Delicious and not overly sweet. While I think their specialty was tea, I am a full fledged coffee whore, so this was the pick for me. I followed the caffeine fix with a dreaded crepe of the tuna variety. What a delightful little tuna bouquet they served me, I was enchanted with the wrapping and immediately dove in. While the concept and presentation were ingenious, it was a bitch to eat. There is no starchy goodness to hold up the sides, so I was constantly chasing a stray piece of lettuce or escaping tuna bite. I also noticed that the crepe itself was a little too sweet with the tuna. But would probably be fantastic with their many dessert crepe selections. Bottom line...while I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, my stomach is full and I'm not completely covered in tuna, so an "A-ok" from me.

    At the counter I made a joke and told the barista that the tip jar was looking very attractive today. Her manager beside her said "actually we had a break-in the other day, the front window was smashed in and all that was taken was the tip jar. Stereo equipment and even ipods on tables remained untouched." How curious, well that tip jar must have been as full as it was today, because the baristas here are very nice. I returned to the table with a heart jolting late and my honey had a delicious chai. Many other yelpers say this place is pretentious, but I like it, the neighbourhood elite do congregate here, but people from the neighbourhood will naturally go to see and be seen at the local hang out. Caffe Beano does attract folks; not only for eye candy but for what I think is pretty delicious coffee. You can even watch staff making cookies, stirring cookie batter and plunking them in large chunks on waxed cookie trays. And the cliental sure is interesting here too, artists, designers, architects, and families from the mount royal area. I think i counted 10 scarfs being worn by clients one day, is that the new "I am an artist signature? I wonder". So I am up for a Caffe Beano coffee any day.

    Beano Cafe is a hip and happenin' place just off 17th Ave that serves up kickass coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches in a fun relaxed atmosphere. The vibe and the friendly service make this place a favourite of hipsters young and old alike. Pretty much any day of the week you'll find a lineup out the door and patrons idling on the benches out front, sipping their coffees and taking in the sights. And when you have one of their locally roasted coffees, you'll know why. You can choose to sit inside at one of their many booth tables, or take your coffee to go, as I did. Perfect for your morning stroll along 17th Ave.

    I've stopped in for coffee a couple of times already, and today I enjoyed myself an espresso chocolate milkshake and a muffin.

    Sam is the main reason I come to Deville in Kensington. I can go to a huge number of coffee shops…read moreto work, but Sam is unbelievably conscientious, considerate. I have worked in the oil and gas industry for over thirty-five years, and I have seen all kinds of employees/workers. I can tell you, there are VERY FEW who are as conscientious, who care about delivering as much as she does. I sensed that immediately. You need to be doing everything to get people 1/4 as professional and caring as she is.

    Deville is a relatively newcomer to the espresso/coffee/tea shop housed in an old repurposed brick…read morebuilding in an area that is quite frankly rife with shops of the same. There is little danger this area of town will ever run out of joe, that's certain. Go a block further and turn left and there 3-4 more of the same, just in case you were worried. Beautifully redesigned interior and lots of outdoor seating and the great architecture of the old building make this a great space to hang outside, weather permitting, and on my visits that's just what we did. The espresso drinks are spot on and if like myself you favor milks from non-lactating plants, they do a wicked oat milk flat white or latte. The black coffees are also excellent and I stayed long enough that my cup got refilled more times than I could recall. On my first visit I neglected to bring a mask, and they were kind and happy to provide one free of charge. Appreciated. Great spot to work as well which I did on a couple of days. Out of the 7-8 places I tried for espresso drinks on my visit I'd rate this as second best, but with hands down the best vibe for enjoying time with friends and family. Highly recommended.

    tucked into calgary's beltline, this little french café feels like it was made for slow mornings…read moreand long catch ups. the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice, breathe a little deeper, and feel like you've been transported straight to paris (passport not required). so we had a late start to the day, showed up around 1:30 pm on a thursday and practically had the whole place to ourselves. the space is lovely, marble tables, black and white café chairs, it's curated but not fussy. perfect for catching up with a friend, or working solo. the pastry case is a total showstopper: buttery croissants, cookies under glass domes like little museum exhibits, and viennoiseries in flavours like cinnamon kouign amann, chausson aux pommes, beautifully striped croissants with apricot & almond, and saskatoon berry. they also make house made jams to sell in fun flavours like pear & vanilla, strawberry & basil, and mango & lemongrass. we scored the tufted velvet couch in the corner, it was soft, plush, and hands down the best seat in the house. we decided to share the following: mocaccino croissant tasted stale. dense, barely any coffee flavour, and a few scattered chocolate chips. almond croissant had a generous filling of frangipane that tasted too sweet. pear & vanilla croissant was the best of the bunch, it had some layers, slight crisp on the outside, and a subtle, not too sweet filling. caffe latte and matcha were just okay. the space is a whole vibe and worth visiting for the ambiance alone. pastry wise, we were hoping for buttery, flaky goodness with a nice chewy texture and only found a spark of it in one croissant. still, if you're in the neighbourhood, the black sheep's a charming little spot to hang out, maybe just stick to the coffee and the couch.

    Picked up a couple sweets and croissants from here. The croissants are colorful and filled, which…read moreis appreciated from both an aesthetic and taste perspective. There's some seating inside and a couple small tables outside; casual place. Most people seem to get their orders to go.
