1. Extreme Bean
Oh Extreme Bean, you've got such a cute name and such potential but there are just some things missing from your experience that I can't quite get over.
What you've got right:
Location. Extreme Bean is an easy stop off on Memorial Drive. I use it every…More »
2. Firewater
Smooth, hardwood floors. Dimly lit ambient lighting. Ample seating at booths, tables or at the bar. A large chandelier hangs from the ceiling on the upper level.
Ambiance, that's one aspect I think Firewater's gotten right from the start. They're…More »
3. Kona On The Corner Cafe
I'd really like to like Kona. I run by it in the mornings and it reminds me of warm places, like Hawaii. Who doesn't want to be reminded of Hawaii?
Inside, the walls are painted a deep turquoise and the trim is brown. Caricatures of a surfer guy and…More »
4. Caffe Rosso
I have an occasional weekend love affair with Caffe Rosso in Ramsay. We sit together early in the morning, sipping coffee or tea and eating muffins. In those early hours, we have our privacy
I knew Caffe Rosso had a twin somewhere out there, I didn't…More »
5. Good Earth Cafes
I figured it was time for a Good Earth update. A year since my last review, it's still one of my solid go-to spots to hang out on my laptop or meet a friend for a nice hot bevvy. This location in particular is spacious and well laid out, with a…More »

Good Earth, great environment.
I've spent many an afternoon at this Good Earth location. My visit… Read more »
6. Pita Basket Cafe
A donair shop with free wifi? That's a new one! And yet here it is in downtown Calgary. They've even got specialty coffees on the menu... though I only saw that bit on my way out.
Pita Basket made me a pretty tasty chicken souvlaki wrap yesterday. The…More »
7. Caffe Rosso
My first trip to Caffe Rosso was last September. I've been back a few times since, and all I can say is this spot keeps getting better. If only there were an option to give it more than 5 stars.
I popped in yesterday for an hour for a coffee and a…More »

The best time to go to Caffe Rosso is first thing in the morning. Especially on a Sunday. How do I… Read more »
8. Kawa Espresso Bar
Are you Kawa, like "KA-WAH"? Or are you Kawa, like "KA-VAH"? I keep hearing both and I'm not sure which one to use. Do you know?
My first introduction to Kawa's was sometime last year. And I've been back intermittently since. Not because there's…More »
9. Chiasso Coffee Company
My favourite part about Chiasso has got to be their tea. The best kind? The berry breeze. Infused to perfection, served in a pretty white mug on a square white plate, I've been back to sip a cup a couple of times now.
The interior of Chiasso isn't…More »
10. The Coffee Couch
I was up in the NE hunting for an indie coffee shop... they don't appear to be as abundant up that way (or at least are harder to find since not many have reviewed them yet). My Yelp searches continued to turn up either a Starbucks, a Timmy's or a…More »
11. The Barley Mill
You know what? For awhile, the Barley Mill was sitting at a solid 3.5 stars. The food is alright, the selection of beers is decent, the location and the patio are both wonderful.
I've been by on many an occasion and the service has always been a-ok.…More »
12. Insomnia Coffee Company
Tucked into the corner of the EPCOR Centre, and right across from City Hall, you'll find a little coffee shop called Insomnia. With nice big windows on two sides, a cozy number of tables, and a coffee and food offering adequate for a mid-morning or…More »
13. Citadel Cafe
I run by Citadel every time I'm out for a jog... and I always think "wow, that looks nice and quiet! I'll have to remember to check it out with my laptop sometime." And then, because of its location right by Eau Claire (facing the river), I forget…More »

5-stars for being so unexpectedly pleasant in an industrial area just off Edmonton Trail. I headed in search of a new coffee shop today to hang out in. I figured I'd drive up to an area I hadn't been in for awhile, pull up Yelp and see what showed up…More »
