Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Alberta

"No trip to Calgary is complete without a stop at the Simmons Building, a hub in the East Village that is home to Phil & Sebastian, Charbar, and Sidewalk Citizen Bakery. Founded by Aviv Fried, an artisanal sourdough baker who started his business by delivering loaves of bread via bicycle. Sidewalk Citizen still sells those glorious loaves, but you can now also pop into the Simmons location for a full lunch, with flavours inspired by Fried’s native Israel."

"Rosso Coffee Roasters is home to two-time Canadian Barista Champion Cole Torode. They have seven cafes located throughout the city, each one serving the brand's wide array of roasts, from standard daily offerings (Tipping Point, Two Wheel Espresso) to outstanding Limited Edition roasts like the recent Finca Hawaii. Rosso's take on modern roasting is proudly served by independent shops across the city."

"A little outside of the core, Cafe Rosso is chillin’ on 11th Ave & 4th street SE in the Arriva tower. I love going to Cafe Rosso to sit and work for a couple hours. It’s a great atmosphere, bright and inviting."

"Get your Calgary day off to a delicious start in the East Village neighborhood, with delectable pastries at Sidewalk Citizen Bakery and top-notch coffee at Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters. Tour Studio Bell, which houses Canada’s new National Music Centre, then head downtown to take in the city views from the landmark Calgary Tower. Around the corner, check out the excellent Glenbow Museum, which traces Calgary’s history and culture, and journey back in time at the Heritage Park Historical Village. For dinner, try one of the cool restaurants on 17th Avenue."

"Phil and Sebastian coffee shops are cozy in general, but this location takes the cake for comfortability. It’s intimate, well lit, and located right beside the river. It’s rare to find a coffee shop that is romantic, warm, and quiet, while also being in a vibrant part of the city."
