Curl up by their fireplace for a top-notch coffee or one of their unique take on ‘cafe’-type food. Fancy a pizza and an espresso? This is the place.

Ah, Analog. If you’ve ever wandered 17th Avenue on a fall day, chances are you’ve ducked into this corner cafe. This seems to be a one-spot-fits-all in terms of season, comfort, and occasion. Analog is an incredibly charming, stereotypicaL ‘coffeeshop’ and is a great spot to get things done. No wonder we’ve never seen it NOT packed.

If a ‘little’ ambiance goes a long way, then how far does a lot go? Loophole has an incredibly warm vintage-type atmosphere and they serve an incredibly tasty cup of joe also, their staff is laid back and they know their craft – just in case you have any questions about their brew.

The Simmons Building is where a perfect day comes to a head. Whether you’re walking along the river or checking out the cute local shops, chances are you’ll wrap things up at either Phil and Sebastian for a coffee, a chat and a danish – or Charbar for dinner. This spot is romantic, warm and pretty quiet, especially considering you’re in one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the city.

CAFE ALCHEMIST

While Cafe Alchemis has familiar sips, they’ve actually devoted a larger part of their menu to exposing customers to unique and unusual flavours which makes something as standard as getting a morning bevy exciting. Plus their interior is warm and inviting – as it should be!
Where: 850 2 Street Southwest, Calgary
CAFFE BEANO
View this post on Instagram
Caffe Beano is another coffee shop with a cult-like following. We’ve hardly ever seen this place without a lineup outside, but it’s rightfully earned. From their coffee black to their lattes and specialty drinks, these guys make a mean cup of cozy – but that’s hardly a surprise considering they’ve been in the game for 30 years.
Where: 1613 9th Street SW, Calgary
HIGHER GROUND – KENSINGTON

Higher ground is Kensington’s warmest and most beloved coffee shop. It’s open late, makes for a great spot to get things done, and is just romantic, but casual enough for the perfect date. Also, they’ve got a pretty lengthy menu, so if you’re super particular like we are, you won’t have too much trouble finding a tasty sip.
