We’ve been coming to Maven from time to time, and it remains our favorite brunch spot in Calgary. What keeps us coming back is how unique the menu is compared to other brunch places. There are always creative and interesting dishes to try, which makes every visit feel a little different.

The food is amazing especially the mango pandan panna cotta. The atmosphere was really nice, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better.

Maven is a gorgeous boutique spot with a highly creative menu that stands out from your average Calgary brunch. The Space: The restaurant is stunningly beautiful, bright, and decorated with tons of greenery (they actually sell plants inside the shop!).

Been to Maven a few times! The food is always delicious and the attention to detail is there. I loved the mix of cuisines and the execution is well done. I highly recommend the bannock, it's perfectly fluffy, and the whipped dip with the jam is incredible.

Service was amazing! The new menu is delicious - I loved the corned beef Pan de Sal breakfast sandwich - the Pan de Sal was fluffy and warm, and the corned beef was so tender. Panna cotta is one of my favourite desserts so I'm happy to still see it on the menu.

Five stars for brunch. If you are heading back from a holiday in Banff, you should treat yourself and go to this Gem in Calgary. Unique style as the plates were decorative, cute small garden out front, and quaint small brunch spot. Service was good and received great recommendations on the menu.

The food was plentiful and super delicious! The service was impeccable from first arrival to end of meal. The staff were amazing and kudos to them all. Ambiance was great with the displays of plants and use of vintage plates. I would highly recommend using the "wait list" option. Worth it!
