This place is a true hidden gem that hasn't been fully discovered yet! The coffee was excellent, and the brownie was absolutely delicious.What I loved most was the atmosphere. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the spacious seating area makes it incredibly comfortable to relax, work, or just enjoy your treat. Definitely worth a visit before everyone else finds out about it!
Do you know why the matcha here tastes so good? Simple — the barista is from Ukraine.No wonder it’s become one of my favorite coffee/matcha places
My experience was amazing in all aspects (food, service and atmosphere). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The food we ordered were tomato salad, classic croissant, sausage and chorizo roll, and blueberry cruffin. All of the food were excellent, well seasoned and the right texture especially on croissant. My personal favourite surprisingly was the cruffin, moist, adequately sweet to our taste. The drinks we ordered were excellent as well (latte & dirty chai), but may need to adjust for stronger espresso taste.The atmosphere was what prompted us to take a look and explore the building. It was an excellent addition of the Calgary stampede display along with activities for kids to enjoy. The price is on the high side but you get what you pay for and it is worthwhile to gi
Spacious and beautiful space, with lot of very bright light. Great place for coffee meetings but not for lunch at least on the day I went. My turkey sandwich was just warmed up and served, bread was sweet and sandwich was meh.
The place is awesome—spacious, bright, and the floor-to-ceiling windows really open up the view and make the space feel airy and inviting.I tried the bread pudding, which had a nice mix of flavors, though I was a bit puzzled by the very sweet cookie on top—it felt overpowering and didn’t quite fit the dish.I also had the scones. They were clearly homemade and nicely done, but I was hoping for more cheese flavor. If the cheese is meant to be subtle, it might be better to market them as regular scones rather than cheese scones.Overall, I’d definitely come back—especially for the great coffee. Angela makes an excellent cup ☕️. Cheers
