1. Insomnia Coffee Company
I love Insomnia. I went back here again and was treated to more great customer service and another fantastic drink. The fact that they broadcast on Twitter what baking and soup they're serving that day just goes to show how committed they are to…More »

Imagine a beautiful cafe with massive windows on two walls and loads of artwork on the other two.… Read more »
2. Caffe Artigiano
Artigiano is doing a lot of things right. Great drinks, good hours, and excellent beans. I bought a pound of their espresso blend (which come out fresh every Thursday, so go late in the week if you're buying beans), and theirs are one of my…More »

I had some trouble finding Artigiano, as it actually faces onto 3rd Street (despite an address that… Read more »
3. deVille Luxury Coffee & Pastries
Every store and shop in Art Central adds something to the building's success, and deVille is no exception. It is one of the best coffee shops in the city, and never fails to deliver a perfect drink. They offer things like biodegradable straws --…More »
4. Caffe Rosso
My first experience of good coffee in Calgary. After years of Starbucks, I didn't know what a latte was supposed to taste like.
I can thank Caffe Rosso for getting me interested in espresso (my wife thanks you, too, for the hundreds of dollars of…More »
5. Kawa Espresso Bar
I went back to Kawa and was delighted to see they are now carrying Black Cat beans. These beans, in addition to the 49th Parallel beans they already carried, are probably the best out there. Drinks aside, Kawa's incredible hours, eclectic…More »

With so many good reviews already, I figured I had to try Kawa. I was downtown, so I stopped in… Read more »
6. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters
I've been to this Phil and Sebastian's four or five times now, and have seen the same three things every time:
(1) The staff come across as pretentious, as if I'm lucky to be there.
(2) The place is BUSY!
(3) Some unknowing person is dumping sugar in…More »
7. Good Earth Coffeehouse and Bakery
I went back to this Good Earth location this morning. I tried the Irish Cream latte, and could have sworn I saw angels.
Okay, so it turned out to be two kids in mid-jump on a trampoline, but the latte was delicious, nonetheless.
I've changed the…More »

8. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters
How have I not yet written a review of Phil and Sebastian's in Marda Loop? Sapna and John pretty much said it all, but it bears repeating.
The coffee is amazing. The location is vibrant and full of life -- even on a cold winter day. The entire room…More »
9. deVille Luxury Coffee & Pastries
I literally parked right outside of deVille in Fashion Central today without knowing it was there. The best part is, I had pulled over to scout for the next cafe I wanted to try.
My visit here was great from the first few seconds I walked in. I was…More »
10. Bumpy's Cafe
I went back to Bumpy's Cafe today and have to say: the latte probably had the best foam I've ever tasted. Yes, better than Uptown Espresso in Seattle. Good enough to bump my previous rating of 3 up to 5 stars. As for the crappy drink they served…More »

The latte was pretty good, but the raspberry iced tea was… Read more »
