It was busy for a Friday morning but we only waited 10minutes for our drinks and pastries to come out. I came in thinking I would get a latte but the stoke juices looked so good I ended up getting the hulk green juice. It sure was yummy!! I usually can tell it will be good when I look at the boldness of the juice colors. My partner ordered a Spanish latte and it was fantastic. The condensed milk was proportioned just right so not too sweet. We also ordered a bunch of pastries and savory bites! The spinach ricotta wrap was so delicious and flaky especially when warmed! I also loved the hazelnut filled cruffin!! Definitely plan to stop by again on my back to the airport.

Very popular, and rightfully so. They've got lots of self-serve bakery items like mochi donuts, cronuts, Korean pastry items. As well as freshly baked breads, whole/sliced cakes, and many drink options. We tried the: -strawberry mochi (3.5/5) -biscoff mochi (5/5, love the chewy texture & flavour) -coffee custard cronut (3/5, I've had less greasy ones with better texture) I would definitely like to try their other cakes & pastry items in the future!

Pop by the Calgary Farmer's Market across the street as a bonus!

I came to check out this coffee shop when I was scoping a place to work for the day. Pleasantly surprised as it wasn't too busy but had a decent amount of seating and free wifi. I was really excited to see they had a beetroot latte on the menu which is something I've seen around but never tried. It cost a pretty penny around close to $6. The drink was not exciting at all - while pink, I expected some sort of latte art or something (not going to lie, I was ordering the drink partially because I wanted a nice photo). But to my dismay, the drink came in a takeaway paper cup even though I was sitting in, and secondly it was pretty much just super foamy on the top... no attempt at a nice pour of the milk. The drink was super sweet - I should have asked for it unsweetened. I think the sweetness covered up the beet taste, I could sense that it was there but just barely which was sad. Otherwise, service was okay. It was a bit awkward since it was really quiet when I arrived and the one staff wasn't at the counter. When she met me at the till, she didn't really say anything or make small talk (or even say hello really). But she did notice my struggle to fit myself at a small table and moved some flowers for me, plus it just seemed like she was working hard to keep busy by cleaning the place. I know I'm a coffee snob so that's more of where my review is coming from. I think if you're coming here for just a nice place to study/work plus order the regular drip coffee - it's a cute place overall.

But our hunger got the best of us, so we ended up stopping in town for lunch across the street from Element Cafe. Our next mission was to get caffeine and a little something sweet to finish off lunch. Element Cafe achieved both of these goals. I ordered an Americano and it did the trick. But I really enjoyed the Birthday Cake cookie. The cookies caught my eye because they looked a lot like the mountains we were about to see in Banff: they had many ridges and depth to them. The guy working in here even offered to heat them up for us before I could ask, so he really understood the keys to our heart. My only piece of feedback would be: when you heat the cookies up, don't be shy! Push that dough to the limit and let your cookies be enjoyed the way God intended: like they just came out of the oven. With that being said, the guy was the picture of a nice Canadian. Don't let his slightly under heating on this day shape how you view him as a fellow human. He was great, as were his cookies and his coffees.

There only needs to be one or two conversations taking place, and it becomes difficult to concentrate on reading, studying, or work. 2. They only play two CDs here (I mean this quite literally): Tom Jones' Greatest Hits, and Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits. Especially considering problem #1 above, this gets old in a hurry. It's too bad, since I quite enjoyed the place before I began to notice that I wasn't getting anything done while I was here, and then realized why this was.

However, one item in particular was very different from the rest: the beef bulgogi long sub sandwich. I knew it was on the menu for a reason and had to try it. The sandwich was big and loaded with juicy, tender marinated beef. A few other friends had the classic breakfast and the cafe sandwich, and both enjoyed their choice. The taste and value of the food alone already deserves 5 stars, but the kind, heartwarming hospitality of the service simply made our day.
