| Caffe Beano |  | Coffee | Informal | For those looking for independent coffee houses, this is a long-time standard in the 17 Avenue area. And for Grant they have milkshakes too. But beware all you card carters; this is cash only. Good vegetarian selection. Dorothy goes here for the hot chocolate. | 1613 - 9 St. SW just north of 17 Ave. | M to Fr 6:00 a.m. - midnight Sa, Su 7:00 a.m. - midnight | |||||
| Higher Ground |  | Coffee | Informal | Our bias shows here. We prefer the locally owned shops to the large there's-one-on-every-corner kind. Higher Ground is an old Calgary tradition with good coffee, snacks and now a wine bar as well. It is made even more desirable by the 2-for-one offer on coffee with a ticket stub from the Plaza Theatre across the street. They also usually have water in a dish outside in the summer if your dog accompanies you on Kensington outings or if you're too cheap to buy a coffee. Good vegetarian selection; coffee and wine don't contain many meat products. Large Café Rollo | #1 1126 Kensington Rd. NW 270-3780 | Su to Th 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. F, Sa 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | |||||
| Kaffa Coffee and Salsa House |  | Coffee | Informal | This is one of Calgary's oldest coffee shops, situated in a rambling little house in Marda Loop. The colours are bright, and the eclectic signs and pictures on the walls are a pleasure to explore. The coffee and food items are good, but the rating dropped as a result of the unsmiling service, and staff who got three orders wrong in the short time we were there. Free parking in the rear. Good vegetarian selection. |
2138 - 33 Ave. SW 240-9133 | Su 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. M to F 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Sa 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | |||||
| Mmmarvelous Mmmuffins | Coffee | | Informal | Good, fresh muffins and coffee at reasonable prices served with great friendliness. This is really a place that remembers your name and preferences. Good vegetarian selection. Note: This is a site–specific review. The friendliness that surrounds this establishment is largely due to proprietor, Mike. | 751 - 3 St SW 403 233-7003 | ||||||
| Phil & Sebastian Coffee Company www |  | Coffee | Informal | P and S have it right. The drink is smooth, with creamy artwork in the cup if that impresses you. Coffee is all they serve, but as the lines will testify, that is all they need to serve. Of course there is good vegetarian selection. That is unless you count milk products as animals. | Calgary Farmers' Market (at the old Currie Barracks) Office number: 403 612-2266 | ||||||
| The Second Cup | | Coffee | Informal | The coffee was a bit strong, and we don't know where the spoons were, but this is an adequate place to pick up coffee for the office or grab a cup while shopping. Good vegetarian selection. | www | There are locations all over. Check by Location. | |||||
| Starbucks Coffee Comapny Ltd |  | Coffee | Informal | For a good cardboard cup of standardized coffee from a limited menu, this is the place to go. Good vegetarian selection. | Multitudinous locations. Check by Location. |
