Staying in the area and had no idea this was a coffee shop. Maybe the giant sign that says coffee on the top should have clued me in. Went there and got a great cup of coffee and this delicious deconstructed croissant or something like that...wow. Friendly service and I wish I had time and luggage space to browse the records. Fun place! read more

Ice cream was so tasty! This is some of the best soft serve in Calgary. It's reasonably priced and you get a good portion. I also love the flavour of the month. Make sure check out the inside as well, it's not your usual drug mart. It's got great records and a good selection of other goodies that would make great stocking stuffers. read more

Like getting coffee in a dumpy thrift store. Basic coffee, questionable service - not sure why this place exists.

Lukes is more than just a corner store. They have been around a very long time. They are also a hang out place for some too. I walked in and realized that inside there is a post office, coffee shop, record store, drug store and a convenient grocery stores that have some pretty unique items for sale. Yes the store is definitely interesting. Inside is very well organized. Prices can be a premium for some. They sell unique goods like Vj's instant food (from Vancouver). Lukes also have their own brand of soap, candles and etc. Lukes isn't big to be consider a full on big box store like Walmart or Superstore. They are in between the big box and the convenient store. They are located in Bridgeland. I rarely come to this hood. I do see in the area lacking the big box / grocery stores. This is probably why Luke is still around in the area. I can't see business being the same if it was in Kensington and etc. Interesting store made for people living in the area. read more

So I haven't checked out the rest of the store, but my friend and I went to go get some soft serve from here, and wow!!!! I'm not a huge fan of key lime, however, their key lime soft serve was absolutely delicious! The portion size is so worth it as well! Definitely recommend if you're in the area :) read more

Ice cream is calling! My BF and I were craving something cold, sweet and refreshing. We found just the thing at Luke's Drugmart. The best part? No long queue. RATING: 8.5/10 - Luke's Soft Serve I've said it before, soft serve is not what I gravitate to when it comes to ice cream, but the flavour called to me: "Lucy, try the strawberry rhubarb." Of course, I listened. The flavour combo worked. It was sweet, creamy and slightly tart. The strawberry was the star of the show! For two servings it was only $8, which was great value especially if you're looking for a lighter sweet treet. Luke's changes up their soft serve flavour every month and I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve for the months to come. read more

Was there to ship with Canada post. needed to print a shipping label. the lady working the counter was extremely lazy and of no help to print my shipping label which is a Canada post label. if your going to provide postal service. at least be able to provide it. worst customer service ever. would not recommend to anybody to go here. read more

Super cool spot, showcasing many local spots (ex: Plant in Inglewood, Milk Jar candles, Glamorgan cheese buns!!) They have a variety of knicknacks, greeting cards, a cafe serving drinks and soft serve, grocery items downstairs, and pharmacy items. I really liked the vibes in here! Prices are a bit more than your typical grocery store but that's to be expected! Definitely worth a visit! read more

Ingenious soft serve flavor combinations, and a price worth driving across the city for. Make it a regular part of your weekend adventures, the flavors change and you will definitely be surprised by them! read more

Lukes Drug Mart - Actual depiction of me eating a twist of the Strawberry Szechuan Peppercorn plus Supermilk soft serve. - Drugstores Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Disclaimer: I'm basing this review solely on the Stumptown coffee bar inside of Lukes, which is reason enough for me to keep going back. I've been a Stumptown fan for a couple years now. They're from Portland and are super serious about their coffee. I remember a couple of cafe's I'd frequent in Vancouver that served Stumptown told me that vendors are really only supposed to serve unadulterated espresso drinks; no macchiatos and the sort because Stumptown wants the roasted bean to speak for itself. I'm more than happy with this philosophy, some find it a little pretentious which I can understand, but it's all part of the allure I guess. Unadulterated goodness is exactly what I got when I picked up my coffee and took a sip of it: my lips puckered, goosebumps ran along my spine, and I'm pretty sure my eyes rolled back into my head. I feel like that happens to me with all good coffee though. In any case I'm so happy that Stumptown has made it to yyc! read more

Lukes Drug Mart - Stumptown coffee at Lukes Drug Mart - Drugstores Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Hi, my name is Dale, and I'm high-functioning hipster. One day, I received a tip that this charming Bridgeland drug store carried the only drug I need. Vinyl. It's been over a year since I first learned this little secret, and in that time, my curiosity in this audio black gold has spun out of control into a full-on addiction. I am now forced to make special stop at Luke's every single time I'm in the area. It wasn't long before I started experimenting with another "black gold" available at this Portland microcosm: Their tasty, tasty coffee. I would stop first at the counter and pick up a Stumptown americano (now carrying Four Barrel Coffee - still wicked good) to keep me caffeinated while I scoured for my next LP fix. I continued down this path for the good part of a year. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to come to the lifesaving, albeit somewhat sad realization that many an audiophile never gets to experience: You can't live off of records and coffee alone. I know what you're thinking... "Of course not - don't be ridiculous! You need whisky too!" You're right! And while Luke's doesn't carry whisky, they do have this bourbon barrel aged maple syrup that is out of this world! The only time I found myself doing something other than drink it straight from the bottle was to give my espresso smooth, sweet little kick, but I digress. Sooner or later, you're gonna get hungry. Sooner or later you're gonna need to go out into that real world, and hopefully you do the rest of the world a favour by showering before you do. Luke's has got your (plaid-covered) back. Mixed in with an assortment of staples you'd find at any drug store are hand-crafted, small-batch, organic, vintage-throwback ANYTHING. Last visit, I picked up some of the finest Portlandian shaving cream (for those of you who opt for the ironic moustache instead of the beard), some organic apple cider vinegar, a St. Vincent record, and some run-of-the-mill toilet paper. Mission accomplished. Oh yah, and also drugs. read more

I am pretty sure that Luke's exists to help me find all the awesome things in the world I didn't know I needed or desired. On this occasion we went for a late night record sale. Great deals to be had and wide variety. Most of the store was closed off but did get a chance to wander down a side aisle and of course pick up a couple other items. Love the quality of products that Luke's has on offer and the variety too. This is one of my favourite stores and the customer service I have gotten has always been stellar. read more

Average store in an average area. The soft serve ice cream was good but not spectacular. I don't think I will suggest to visit unless you live in the Bridgeland area. read more

Always love stopping in for the soft serve ice cream! The coffee is good too - and the market is surprisingly well stocked for its size!

This store was really interesting! It is like a small community superstore because it has a food market, pharmacy, Canada Post, and a coffee shop inside! There is some parking behind the store and theres also plenty of parking in the Bridgeland neighbourhood surrounding it. I mainly went to try out their charcoal coconut soft serve today. I had heard about it and was curious about how that would taste like! There were a lot of others that were waiting to try the same so they ran out of it shortly after we got ours so try going earlier in the day to make sure they have it. So the ice cream mainly tasted like vanilla to me in the end haha but I am glad I got to try it because it just looks so cool! I also tried the iced mocha which was really good! Overall, check this place out - its really neat! read more

Luke's Drug Mart is one of the best places to go to in Bridgland if you want to purchase the coolest gifts to give a friend on any occasion. From records, candles, natural made soap and skin care. They have a pharmacy, Canada Post office, coffee bar and a mini grosery store. My faveroite thing about Lukes is the ice cream and home made baking! oh ya and the Chi Latte is fantastic too. The staff that work there are all welcoming and down to earth a place you can feel comfortable when you walk through the door. I can totally give this place five stars! read more

My all time favourite one stop shop in the neighbourhood. Great for your morning cappuccino and fresh baked scone, funky gifts, vinyl records, post office needs, pharmacy needs, groceries and food in the basement, etc etc. This place has it all and the staff are super chill. read more

Lukes Drug Mart - Drugstores Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Great selection of vinyls and local products. Also the women at the post office are angels!

Luke's is your traditional drugstore, with the additional ammenities of a post office and a basement which has a decent selection of food stuffs. In fact the basic offerings of drugstores like cosmetics and shampoos are severely lacking in selection, and the Rexall branding of the store has made it more expensive. So why five stores? Because the pharmacy rocks! You know those pharmacists who remember you and your patient history and your family and how everything is going? Yep, the Luke family are your friendly neighborhood pharmacists. You can drop off your prescriptions and call ahead to pick them up OR get free delivery (and if you're getting drugs dropped off they'll drop off groceries too). You get careful advice on how to use your prescription drugs and careful, thorough help about all OTC drugs too. They also always try and bill your insurance provider before they bill you. I feel taken care of at Luke's, and that's a great feeling in a Calgary that is getting bigger and more impersonal every year. read more

When I lived in Bridgeland a few years ago, this was known as just the IDA. I remember being so fascinated by this little place, because all of the non-persihables downstairs make it seem like a bomb shelter. Fast forward to now; I have a few friends living in the area and recently visited again. I feel as though Lukes got like ten times cooler. Downstairs, the produce still sucks and some stuff is overpriced. However, Lukes has the cheapest Kicking Horse Coffee in town if that's what you're into, and has started to carry more cool products such as Luna and Larry's coconut ice cream, and more organic brands for reasonable prices. Upstairs, I didn't really look around at the necessities. I did find a ton of cool stuff though, such as affordable Moleskine journals, Rocky Mountain Soaps, my favourite kind of chocolate, and beer making kits! Could you get any cooler, Lukes?! Also, I have never had a bad experience with the staff here, they are all real friendly. read more

Cute little store with lots of cool and unique finds. Lots of local products which is really awesome! I love checking out the grocery items downstairs because there's so many items you can't find elsewhere. The coffee is great and reasonable. I tried their swirl vanilla and coconut charcoal soft serve which was quite tasty. read more

Ok, this is not just a grocery store\pharmacy; this is your grandmothers-corner-store-bread-with-your-hipster-best-friend. Seriously, this place is one of a kind. i don't know what else I can say that already hasn't been said - this place is wonderful. A pharmacy and a Canada post are upstairs and downstairs there is a small food market. Its the perfect place to pick up what you need on the drive home, and in fact, its even great for almost all basic shopping. I know that I no longer go to shoppers - Lukes has everything I need. lus, I know that the majority of the products are fair trade/organic\/non-toxic so i just feel way better after shopping here. Plus, they have a lot of hard-to-find products like essential oils, phosphate-free shampoos, etc. If you live anywhere near the NE you should stop going where you are going and make Lukes your primary shopping location. Seriously, you wont regret it. Plus, they have awesome coffee. Whats not to love? read more

Five (5) bells for Stumptown coffee....If you have not stopped by for this Portland import - YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Amongst the recent throng of coffee shops in Bridgeland, this one is taking the cake. The lattes are amazing. The beans to take home smell like heaven. Stop by and try one immediately. Seriously god coffee. Also check out some of the cool items on the shelves upon entry...interesting... read more

I love this place so much. The staff is always friendly, their range of local goods is wide, and they have an awesome record selection. I've become a regular here, whether it's for coffee, food, or skincare needs. Bonus points for being Covid-cautious- I always feel safe when I go in. It's my absolute favorite store, and their staff is truly amazing. 100% recommend visiting. read more

Lukes is GREAT. The store has personality, products you can't find anywhere else (i.e. Portland General Store (which are awesome by the way) and staff are always helpful and friendly. Prices are on par with what you'd find at London Drugs and much much lower than Shoppers. Every trip to the store is a treat and I find something new! read more

Luke's you rock. This place just keeps getting better and better, with an extensive selection of music on vinyl, new quirky and unique products, and fresh tasty coffee. Oh, right, and it's a pharmacy! The pharmacists are always friendly and efficient, as are the other store staff. Their rewards card is great - points add up quickly! Whether you're looking for some unique music, a hilarious birthday card, that missing ingredient for your dinner recipe, or just some Tylenol Cold & Sinus, Luke's is the place to go. read more

I am native Calgarian (3rd gen) and finally stumble in here by default.... thanks to my Japanese jacket via Canada Post!!!???? Super Geil store! Best coffee and cheez in Cow Town, better fromage than Sunterra. I'm there all the time now... just because I love it so much. I eyed the local cheeze (tried the Challer Hocker) and I never eat a brick in on sitting, done and done. A Parisian would approve. I will be trying every one they sell soon. I reckon the owner is a vegetarian and I wouldn't be surprised if some how K.D. Lang is linked to this place. My favorite place in the city. Kudos Calgary......for some underground brilliant little treasures. Fawqin Eh! read more

This place is awesome. Because when I stumble into work (a few blocks away) and realize I didn't put deodorant on, I can head to Luke's and get a great cup of coffee and a deodorant in the same fell swoop! They've asked me cheerfully every day for weeks if I want to start a loyalty card, and i hate cards so I've always declined. Then today they said they'll just fill it out for me so I get the points. How nice is that? Anyway, if you find yourself in need of a record, or a coffee, or organic beard oil, or a can of ravioli, check 'em out! Oh, i think there is a for real pharmacy too! read more

Reminds me of Portland! As soon as you walk in, there is the coffee area on your left. And it's awesome! It is the only place I have seen in Calgary that serves coldbrew, chemex, pourover types, along with the regular americano, latte, espresso, etc. That alone is the feature I love about Luke's Drug Mart! They use amazing coffee too (Four Barrels). The rest of the store is a random mishmash of stuff you may find at a pharmacy store, but just way cooler. My favourite things that I spotted here: Stumptown Roasters beans (yes!), bitters, and cocktail syrups for when you want to make cool drinks at home. There is also a pharmacy, a Canada Post and a tiny grocery area in here. Luke's Drug Mart reminds me of the kid who was hipster long before it became cool. It is a totally unique place in Calgary that is just oozing effortless cool. read more

I liked the look of this old school convenience store but was really pleased to see it to be so much more than that. Inside there is a full functioning post office, a huge pharmacy counter, and has an immense beauty product selection. There is even a whole bottom floor where you can buy things like towels and small appliances. This is a great place to get staples, so if you are in the Bridgeland area, this is a perfect place to pop in that is much more convenient than going to a Safeway or Coop. read more

Went here for my final #YYCHotChocolate Month drink and tried out the SubtleTea, which I'm sad they won't be continuing past the end of the month :( That said, there's a good selection of other cafe style drinks to try at Luke's, where you can sit and munch on a Citizen Sidewalk Cafe pastry while drinking your beverage of choice. That's just what a friend and I did for a very lazy Sunday morning coffee/brunch/hot chocolate date this week, which we followed up by exploring the store. It's a combination between your 'average' drug store and a speciality shop, with a lot of unique and delicious looking or smelling products. This isn't necessarily the place to head for a six pack of toilet paper (although they have that too), but it's a great place to browse for a gift for a friend or a special ingredient to 'up' the appeal of a brunch or dinner staple. Especially impressive was the small grocery of fresh veg & fruits tucked in a corner of the basement, which had very reasonable prices. I'm pretty sure that if I lived in Bridgeland I'd be in and out of Luke's on a weekly basis - with great selection & great prices, it's a terrific addition to the neighbourhood! read more

Go to place for coffee beans, freshly roasted, they get their shipment from Stumptown on Wed after being roasted on Mon. well worth the detour to get stocked up. Great coffee bar with friendly baristas to have a chat about coffee, had a great Chemex there, and the grocery store is decently stocked too read more

A great spot with excellent coffee and local artisan paraphernalia ranging from vinyls to handcrafted knits. An iconic fun-filled community market humbly pretending to be just a pharmacy. Pet peeve - they have unique black colored soft serve ice cream in the summer that is incredibly delicious. Don't miss this spot next time you are in bridgeland. read more

The coffee in this neighbourhood keeps getting better and better. Luke's, which has been around longer than me, recently renovated an installed a Stumptown Coffee bar. My morning coffee spot recently relocated and I think I've now found a suitable replacement. Never had Stumptown before...I'm an instant fan. Beyond the coffee, Luke's has a unique offering records and a full service Market which make it a great spot to check out. read more

Luke's is one of the many small business revitalizing Bridgeland. It my favorite coffee shop in YYC. Fourth Barrel (from San Francisco) is great coffee, complex, bright but not overly acidic. And the barristi pay attention and remember your drink if you're a regular. Plus they have expanded their non-dairy options to include soy, coconut and almond milk. They have a solid point program where you collect points on virtually everything the store sells which you can then convert into free delicious coffees. And if you prefer to brew at home they carry Stumptown and other great small roasters. read more

I popped in today to purchase a few items and order a beverage. The cashier was very discourteous. She didn't greet me, walked away from the till without offering me my receipt, did not say goodbye...Rough day, maybe? If I was a first-timer, I would definitely not return. read more

Review #5 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012 Post office. Check. Prescription counter. Check. General store goodies like trinkets and gifts, cards, et al. Check. Entire lower floor that you can't see from the outside that contains Luke's Market. Check. Yep, it looks like Lukes Drug Mart has pretty much everything. I stopped in to mail a letter and decided I'd better stay and have a look around. I had the most fun down in the lower level. It's where all the groceries are. For real, an entire little market down there! Grab your Illy coffee or espresso beans, fresh produce (not that much of it, but if you're in a pinch and need something it will likely do), and rows and rows of products I've never heard of. There's not necessarily a lot of everything but there's a little bit of everything! I came home with Monkey Toast (banana blueberry crisps). They're for "big and little monkeys everywhere" to enjoy. I've always wanted to be a monkey. Mission accomplished. I also bought jaipur karhi in a can. I know somebody somewhere is cringing at the thought of that. But I don't even know what it is... well, I guess I do if I read the label... organic potato dumplings in spicy buttermilk. That doesn't sound so bad, does it? Anyway, Luke's is a good one-stop shop for adventurous finds (such as the above!) and you get to feel like you're in your neighbourhood corner store. AND... it'll actually be true! Whaddya know! read more

I was in Calgary visiting family and we stopped in here to pick up some groceries and grab a couple of coffees. The coffee was shockingly good. Better than most coffee shops and worth the trip for that alone. They had a nice selection of fresh food too. As a music lover I enjoyed the fact that they sell vinyl too, even if it's not something I was shopping for. The only relatively minor issue i had was i found the layout of their groceries a bit confusing. Things like eggs, bacon, etc seemed somewhat obscured. The people working there were pleasant. Overall a great place! read more
