I'm glad Analog popped up on 17th - it's a great addition to the neighbourhood and one of my favourite places to meet up with friends who work downtown. The concept for Analog is pretty neat - sort of vintage record store. It's bright and open and has bar-style seating along all the windows which is great for people-watching. The service is great - although their to-go drinks aren't as nicely presented as in their own mugs. Be sure to ask for your lattes extra hot - they are delicious but can sometimes cool too quickly. I haven't tried any of their lunch items, but their baked goods are always amazing (my favourite is the hazelnut brownie). Also, I love that it's open a little bit later - 10PM. read more

Not a bad little place to meet a couple friends! Good choice of coffee/tea and they offered some delicious snacks to munch on.

I love this gem of a place. So clean and funky fun people. I love the happy staff in the early am and they seek to take pride in their work. Thanks for a great place to escape too. As a business that cleans, it's nice to see more clean coffee places :) read more

I finally got to try the Calgary coffeeshop everyone raves about when I met my business partner here early Saturday morning for a weekend work meeting. We had delicious lattes on their tiny patio chairs and it felt exactly as a coffeeshop should. This place is BUSY so best to grab your goods to go unless you're early like we were. I've tried to visit Analog before as a study spot to catch up on MBA homework, but it's tiny with limited seating -- and no one willing to give up their chair -- so I've frequently passed it over. While the coffee and bakery goods are delish, if you're looking for the same with less mayhem, maybe stop by one of the many P&S locations, including one just off 17th ave down 4th street. Staff is friendly and this spot delivers exactly as it should, I just wish it was bigger! read more

Love this place! This is my favourite coffee shop in Calgary. Very clean!

Quite good coffee, this is an accomplishment for Calgary which generally is a coffee black hole. I'm a coffee snob for sure. I was impressed with the flavor and craftsmanship. Would come back here the next time I am in town. read more

Analog is a nice cafe, although usually pretty crowded. I got a latte, and it was alright. It's not anything special, and its kind of expensive. However, the staff was incredible, and very friendly. Will be coming back, the location and ambiance is really great. read more

Stopped by the coffee shop twice while in Calgary. Wonderful coffee and sandwiches. The brownies are a must. I will be back in my next visit. read more

Second time here and its confirmed, I love it. Service this morning was fantastic. Granted you order at the counter but the fellow who took my order and manned the til was awake, smiling and and made very a very pleasant transaction. This is not always the case at coffee bars and is often commented on (at other establishments of course) No superior barrista attitude here, just a group of folks who look like they enjoy what they do and working with each other. It was also nice to see a fair number of regulars that have a rapport with the staff. Especially noting that it appears to be the last day for someone who is departing for a European adventure. The coffee was delicious, Ameriano Misto with a pretty design that I unfortunately smudged before taking my photo. Oh well the photograh cannot relay the taste. Hot, strong and just the right amount of steamed milk. The Chocolate Croissant, well actually a Pain Au Chocolate was perfect. Dark chocolate that has the right amount of bite and sweet and a lovely light flakey pastery. All in all I felt very French with my petite dejeuner this morning as I dawdled over my pastery and coffee. Watching the other customers and getting a giggle over the variety of morning moods. The spectrum runs from "don't talk to me before I have my morning coffee" and "I am a morning person and really happy to be here". Look forward to the occassional morning relaxation here again. read more

Cute little place. Perfect place to sit down and chat over coffee. Super friendly staff and great tasting coffee. A little on the pricier side but totally worth it. read more

They serve Fratello Coffee here. Excellent espresso, decent lattes, and one of the best mochas I've had in Calgary. Whenever I am in the area. I find it hard to not stop by for a decent cup of coffee. read more

Finally was able to try this one Tuesday night. The coffee is great and the mochas are amazing. I love the decor and the vibe of this place - I'll be coming back here to study for school in the future. There was also a nice selection of baking which I will definitely be trying one day. Analog also offers great people watching. read more

What a place; from the spinning records, to the amazing location, Analog is a cafe I see myself frequenting. The selection is your essential coffee drink varieties, but their baked goodies and sammies looked pretty scrumptious. There were some lone hottie patrons on their laptops, old friends catching up, and trendy couples, mostly, who occupied the space.The whole vibe was very relaxed, although well-kept. Analog is proof that simplicity and quality is key :) read more

Great place to have a coffee and pastry. Very laid back and the staff was very professional and friendly. Will be back on our next Calgary trip. read more

Excellent coffee, great location, friendly staff. Happy to see Fratello in some of the grocery stores too! Love the Godfather, my favourite. read more

Trendy little coffee shop on 17th Ave. After stuffing our faces nearby at Clive Burger, we decided to check out Analog for an after dinner beverage. I love the decor, very sleek and modern, and judging by their menu, I can tell they focus on their coffee and dont mess around with fancy-schmancy lattes. I ordered a hot chocolate, which I almost regretted afterwards because they tend to be too sweet. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried mine (with a cute little foam design on it) and it was perfect! Not too sweet at all, and the chocolate was divine. I did find it to be a little chilly inside, which was no fun but towards the end of our visit it seemed to warm up. I really enjoyed it here and I will make it a point to return for the steamed milk! read more

Great coffee. Great service. Great space. Love a coffee shop with efficient service and flow. One of my favourite coffee shops.

Went in and boy was there a line - here's the thing - went super fast and the service was friendly and attentive. Don't even get me started on their amaaaaazing ham and cheese croissant sandwiches. In sum: cool and welcoming atmosphere, solid coffee, and fresh delish baked goods. What's not to love? read more

Coffee done right. Funky coffee shop that knows how to make good espresso coffee drinks. Gets crowded on the weekend but worth the wait or just get it to go. Much better than the Starbucks across the street! read more

The service here was excellent. The server was nice friendly and on the ball. I had the sea food pasta with no complaints. For the price paid I wasn't blown away with anything though. It wasn't much different from places that are half the price, such as spaghetti factory. So overall service and food quality good, bang for buck not so much. read more

Great coffee, clean facility, and fast service! Would go back when in the downtown Calgary area!

This hipster hang out has a very friendly, engaged owner and great coffee. The rest of the staff is nice enough, but they're usually pretty busy in here, so you may feel a little rushed. If you need to get your caffeine fix, this is a solid solution for a good, strong americano. read more

I love their coffee! Whenever friends come to visit me this is the first place I take them for their morning caffeine fix. The only downside is there isn't much seating inside. This is never an issue for me, but if you're looking for a place with guaranteed seating this may not be your best bet (unless you're okay with waiting a bit for a table to become available). read more

What a letdown. Coffee is so-so and they don't serve food. Sorry guys but with five coffee shops within a block you're going to have to do much better than this. read more

Cool place to hang out! Great atmosphere tea and service. I would recommend this place to all my friends!

This place is so iconic that it is synonymous with Calgary. Great ambiance, the sidewalk tables are just as fought over as the ones inside, and a great location for people watching, catching up, and meeting in. Coffee and service is fantastic. read more

Great coffee joint! They also make really tasty sandwiches and baked goods! A bit on the pricey side. Overall great place to grab a coffee or tea and sit outside and relax! read more

Feels like the neighborhood coffee shop, great atmosphere, delicious coffee, and friendly people! Best place for people watching!

In our two day trip to Calgary we hit up Analog twice for our coffee fix. We enjoyed the slow drip coffee and it was perfect! We also had the dirty chai latte - one of the girls loves chai and she said it was the best chai she has ever had. I personally don't normally like chai but the second time back I ordered this as my drink because it really was delicious! The espresso based drinks are good too! The staff clearly love what they do, they are friendly and knowledgeable. The place was busy but the service was fast and it has a simple and trendy atmosphere. Totally recommend this coffee shop! read more

This is the best coffee I've had in this city so far. So flavourful! I have ordered a cappuccino, a mocha, and a latte. They source their beans from various countries and the barista said they even have a roaster here in Calgary. I'm taking a star off due to them not having honey available for their tea. I understand that honey is a lot more expensive now due to the bees disappearing, but if it's a problem they should at least have packets of honey you can buy. To not have a staple of tea, such as honey, is unforgivable in this day and age! Have honey available and it gets 5 stars. read more

Love this place. Used to work close by and went everyday... Now I have withdrawals :)

Fabulous coffee, great place to sit outside and people watch on 17th. The only downside is there aren't very many electrical outlets. If you're planning to stay and do some work you may be out of luck for a spot with a plug-in. read more

This place has delicious espresso. If you visit this shop try the god father espresso... You will not be disappointed. The lattes are good, but sometimes I feel like I can never finish it because the foam just fills me up! The coffee shop is usually always busy and sometimes it's hard to find a seat if your coming with someone! read more

Snacks and coffee were very delicious but where this place excels is there customer service and amazing employees.

I like this place. Hard to have a conversation when it's busy but great coffee and great for people watching.

Still love love love Analog, but updating my review to thank them for fixing their wireless problem (a long time ago already). Now they've added an oven, so the sandwiches I thought were amazing before are that much better - so good in fact is the only time I cheat on my low-carb lifestyle. A girl's got to have her bread and eat it too, but only when absolutely necessary - which is at Analog! read more

Excellent Coffee and choice of pastries. The location is perfect on 17th Ave and 6th street at corner. I have gone in summer most of the times and saw the staff was good and place was quiet busy. Free wifi and steeped coffee/tea, makes a perfect location to spend a lazy afternoon sitting outside looking at the garden or live music in between 8th and 7th street on 17th Ave. read more

Great coffee, nice space (although small and always cramped on a weekend) but I have to admit the sandwich I had was not good... the bread was hard/stale and the toppings (sauteed onions, brie, apple) were huge chunks/blobs, so I'd only get a bite of brie (with thick skin), then a bite of onion, then a bite of stale bread, etc. And it was cold - there's no option to grill it... sad. read more

Analog hires people in November without telling them it's just for the Christmas season, praises their work all the time, then without warning fires them in the first week of January. Deplorable business practice, who knows what else they might cut corners on or be deceptive about? You couldn't pay me to patronize this company. read more

Great coffee and pretty good service. The place is well laid out and decorated in a very retro modern way. It's usually fairly busy and so if you're looking for a quiet place to chat with someone for a meeting then I'd go somewhere else. It's mainly a place to be seen at the moment. read more
