The cafe is darker than most but we sat near a window and had some sun. It was packed so it was tricky finding a seat near an outlet at first, but we made it work.

The coffeehouse interior is very cute and chic. It's a nice place to hangout with the red walls and some comfy couches. Plus side, there're plugs on walls and free wifi. I went in the morning during a weekday so the sitting area wasn't that crowded. Friendly staff and the buns were super fresh from the oven. The buns are 1.75 + tax but right now they're 15% off so 1.50 each. I got a curry beef bun. Bun was soft and the curry beef inside was legit curry tasting beef. I also ordered a cup of coffee they brew Rosso Coffee. Locals supporting locals. This place is a gem in Calgary's Chinatown.

The interior is bright and welcoming, with lots of wood tones in the cafe. We were able to order and find seats pretty quickly, as there are good amount of spots inside. I decided to order one of their seasonal drinks, which I think was a fruit-based matcha. The drink was quite good, although it was a bit on the pricey side. I can see why people come here, since the other lattes I saw also seemed to be intriguing with some interesting flavors. Pretty solid cafe in the downtown area, it's a nice one to stop by.

Right on Memorial Drive, so it is extremely convenient when I am heading out of downtown via Edmonton Trail. 2. Staff are friendly 3. Quality is consistent with other Starbucks Room for Improvement 1. The parking lot is shared with Esso and it is an accident waiting to happen. There are cars coming and going through 2 entrances, and people are jonesing to get out of there once they have their gas and/or coffee. It is deadlocked due to the traffic to exit this establishment 2. On the date that I was there (April 20, 2011), there was an issue with the drive though. The mic and speaker were not working correctly, so the barista was having an impossible time hearing me. On the flipside, they were tough to hear too. Quite walky-talky-ish. So.... 5 stars... 5 comments. 3 were positive, 2 were suggestions.... so... 3 out of 5 for this location for me.

The first time I went, there was a trainee barista which was very kind and patient but unfortunately they don't do pour overs anymore - when I pressed them about it, the reason was Covid. I'm not sure what covid has to do with anything since it's a pretty easy thing to keep on the side with low operating cost (I have one at home - total cost about $80) I ended up getting the drip coffee which was quite delicious- they were serving an Ethiopian origin coffee which was bright, fruity, floral but quite acidic. The next day I went back and met another barista who was clearly not interested in being there and was making conversation with another customer about how he hated Calgary and wished he never moved here (apparently from vancouver). While I can understand his sentiment being from Calgary myself and then moving away, it's not really a great way to start the day. The negativity was filling the air. He seemed like a knowledgeable enough guy but I don't think I'll go back if he's there. I ended up getting a bag of the Ethiopian coffee and I'll just make it myself when I get home If you're looking for a place to get a great cup of coffee and go, then definitely check this place out but don't expect to leave feeling energized by the environment. 4/5 bc the coffee and donuts are delicious

It's a bit easy to miss because it shares a front door with a bank, so it almost feels like a hidden spot.
