I have more money on my gift card so I'm hoping to go for breakfast there one morning soon!

Their selection of cupcake flavours is always interesting and allows you to choose a selection to bring home with you. My favourite part of the cupcake is (obviously) the icing and Brown Sugar has some of the best. They also do a gluten-free option for a cupcake and it is a quite impressive feat to create such a moist and tasty GF cupcake. If you enjoy cupcakes, you have to grab some from Brown Sugar on your way by!

Date Night Win! 10/10 Would Drive from Calgary Again!…read more So, my boyfriend and I escaped the city of Calgary for a much needed date night and ended up in the charming little "old town" of Okotoks. This is all thanks to the powers of TikTok and a very convincing For You Page that I stumbled upon. That's how we found Heartland Café, and honestly? It was giving romantic fairytale meets historical church vibes. Gorgeous interior, stained glass, cozy lighting... I wish I, "we", dressed a littles more fancy than the table we sat at! To start, I sipped on a crisp glass of Chardonnay (chef's kiss), while he channeled his inner Don Draper with a whiskey sour. We kicked things off with the oven-baked brie and beet purée. Was it amazing? Yes. Were we also starving? Absolutely. But I stand by it, it was creamy, melty, and just what our hungry souls needed. P.S. you can ask for more bread ;) we surely did. For mains, I had the pecan-crusted chicken which was a beautiful, crunchy masterpiece. Also moist, very moist. He went for the duck gnocchi, which he described as "super rich", right before devouring the entire thing like a man possessed. No crumbs, zero! Then came the blackberry orange panna cotta. I'm still emotionally recovering from how good it was. If you go, just trust me: don't share it. I made that mistake. Regret. Deep, delicious regret. Another thing we loved? The relaxed, European-style pace of the whole evening. We were never rushed, seating to paying was about an hour and a half, and it gave us that rare gift: quality time. Just me, the love of my life, great drinks, and food. Shout out to all the servers and chefs! Heartland Café is a hidden gem. Romantic, cozy, delicious--and 100% worth the drive from Calgary. We'll definitely be back. With two panna cottas. Minimum.

We had to indulge in breath mints on the way home after sharing the garlic fries, but they were soooo good. We also shared the BBQ wings and they were incredible. My wife had the mushroom tacos and I had the Chickin wrap. My wife never eats the typical 3 small tacos offered in many restaurants, but she did take the 2 tacos at Vegan Street; which were quite big and she wolfed those down. I was in heaven over the buffalo Chickin wrap. It was probably the best meal I've had in years, and it was vegan!!!! All the flavour, texture, sensations and absolutely no guilt; well a little bit over eating too much ;) If you want to give vegan a shot, go to Vegan Street. The food is incredible, the service awesome and atmosphere delightful.

UPDATE: Ownership's response relies on vague phrasing about "context" and "communication dynamics"…read moreto subtly imply we were difficult. Again, that was never once communicated to us in any way, and had it been, we gladly would have apologized and adjusted to their standards. I never realized that politely requesting items, using industry-standard terms like "may I," and praising both the FOH and kitchen staff for accommodating us each and every time was an issue. I want to reiterate: the only dynamic was us being loyal regulars for years, attempting to give polite, private feedback about a drop in service, and immediately receiving a lifetime ban over text. They have now confirmed that even our offer to order delivery with zero modifications is denied. That is the entire context. I am content to let my review stand, be posted in other locations with a reference to here, and Calgary diners can judge this level of "professionalism" for themselves. Original Post: I genuinely dislike posting negative reviews and have never wanted to hurt a local business, but it is extremely important to warn Calgary patrons about how this restaurant treats its customers--especially those who require menu modifications. We have been loyal customers of Vegan Street for years, frequently navigating a gluten-free lifestyle by requesting modifications. We have dined here during peak weekend rushes, slower afternoons, ordered takeout, and regularly made reservations. Through every interaction, not once did any staff member communicate that our requests were an issue. Furthermore, we always went out of our way to be excellent guests: we are polite, our kids use their best manners, and we even clean up our table and stack our dishes to make things easier for the servers. We constantly told the staff how much we valued Vegan Street as dedicated Vegan restaurants with gluten free options are rare. Everything changed for us when I tried to politely address a sudden drop in customer service. After experiencing poor service and staff rolling their eyes at us during recent visits, I asked to speak privately to one of the owners. I did this quietly at the restaurant, away from other patrons and in good faith. I shared how much we love supporting them and I explained that I understood people have bad days, but felt ownership should be aware of the interactions. Instead of taking the feedback professionally, the owner sent us a text message a few hours later--which we can happily post to prove our position. She claimed my feedback "matched" a negative online review (which wasn't mine) and falsely blamed me for it. She then stated that our dietary modification requests over the past few months have "been too much on the staff and kitchen" and told us we are no longer welcome moving forward. When we pointed out that absolutely no one had ever communicated that our requests were a problem, she actually agreed with us. Yet, she doubled down anyway, jumping straight from zero communication to a lifetime ban. We explained that had we'd been told our requests were an issue, we gladly would have adjusted--such as taking things off our food ourselves or asking for sides. Acting as our own sous chefs while paying full price is a reasonable compromise before resorting to a ban. Unfortunately, this was never requested. Wanting to find a way forward, we even politely asked if we could still order delivery with absolutely zero modifications. She never responded. Bottom line: To ban multi-year, respectful regulars over text because ownership cannot handle private feedback--and to admit they never once told the customer there was an issue beforehand--is a shocking lack of professionalism and business ethics. Any public reply from the owner(s) to this review that is anything less than a genuine apology and an immediate reversal of the ban should be viewed as nothing more than a desperate attempt to save face. While we may never return given how the ownership acts, other patrons deserve to be aware. Perhaps a zero-modifications policy should be implemented instead of treating customers like they are the problem. If you have celiac disease, severe allergies, or dietary restrictions, be warned: asking for a menu modification here is a gamble. Apparently, you should just order something else or be prepared to act as a sous chef at your own table. Owners and staff alike may silently resent your requests for years, only to ban you without warning the moment you ask for basic customer service. Also, although most are friendly, the staff and owners here can apparently treat you any way they want, and if you say anything, be prepared to be asked to never come back. We happily supported this business for years, but they clearly do not value loyalty, dietary needs, professionalism, or basic communication. Save your money and support a local establishment that actually treats people with respect.
