On my recent trip to Canada, I was dispatched to Cargil in High River, Alberta to pick up a meat…read moreload. The trailer I brought in was in need of a washout. Fortunately, there was a facility just across the street where I could have this taken care of. While paying for the service, I was politely greeted by a woman named Jan. "We're opening the Channel 19 Café tomorrow.", she said. I was told the types of food they would be serving and was shown a menu. She also mentioned that breakfast was available all day. The selections were both decent and appetizing. "I'd love to visit!", I responded, "But, unfortunately, I won't be here. As soon as my load is ready, I'll be heading back to the U.S. but I do wish you much success." Upon returning to Cargil, I learned that my load wasn't ready to go yet. So, I waited... and waited... and waited. I kept waiting until the next morning and upon inquiring about my load, was again told, as I was consistently the previous night, "No. The load is not ready yet.". It was about 6:30 in the morning so I decided to go have breakfast at the Channel 19 Café. The first thing I noticed was that the sign said they didn't open until 7:00 o'clock. However, the door was wide open so I walked in anyway. "Oh! It's John!", I heard Jan say from the other side of the room while I was being greeted with a warm smile and a hand shake by Jason, Linda and Joska. In spite of it not being 7am, Jan seated me and I was presented with a menu. I told them that I didn't mind waiting until 7 but things were ready to go ahead of schedule. I ordered eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast along with a glass of water. While I waited (and the wait wasn't long at all) Jan kept me company with polite conversation. I learned about some of the local happenings in Alberta like "The Stampede". An event which takes place in June and sounds like a Canadian version of "The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo" down south in Texas complete with parades, chuck wagon races, country & western music, food and fun. There is even a picture on the far wall of Jan's husband Jack participating in the parade. It wasn't long when the bell rang letting Jan know my meal was ready. She brought it to me and I found a nice surprise in seeing a small stalk of grapes on the plate along with the other items I ordered. I love grapes. Channel 19 Café is located at 466 Avenue & 82nd in High River, AB in the same building as the CDI Truck Wash. Their phone number is 403-652-4333. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great meal and to meet some of the nicest people in the entire world. The breakfast was delicious and while eating it, Jan and Jason frequently checked on me (each time addressing me by name) to ensure everything was okay and to see if I was enjoying the meal he had prepared. I was doing great, finished the meal and paid them with the Canadian currency I had. Also, since I was their first customer and, at least in the US, I notice businesses always post their first dollar on the wall, I left them an American $1 bill. Breaker One Nine, Good Buddy! For some of the best food in all of Canada, be sure to roll your rig to the Channel 19 Café. Tell 'em John sent you. You won't regret it!

We had a big lunch so we decided to just get one "The Bird" sandwich to take home and share it for…read moresupper. Big mistake. Sadness ensued! We hadn't realized what an absolutely amazing sando it was going to be. The soup was delicious but the sandwich was an out of body experience. It left us wanting MOAR. As did the cinnamon bun which came incredibly close to the dough I remember my Grandmother making. I can see we will be driving out to High River again. We will take the littles with us to try that super cool ice cream bar at Evelyn's.

A River Ran though It is no longer open for business. The location was just out of the way of foot…read moretraffic I think not too many people knew it was there in the first place. I've talk to people as one does and find most people are too fn lazy to head downtown High river and go to Calgary for a coffee if that makes any fn sense or go to shit hortons for a shite coffee and one of their crap doughnuts or Tim shits. So support local businesses you stupid fecks and local business not Walfarts. Yeah, yeah there's not a lot in High river you know why Sherlock there doesn't need to be. Now you says it's cheaper in Calgary. Like feck. Maybe you have a magic car that doesn't use fuel. Ok fine but most people don't. By the time you pay for fuel and your time being wasted getting pissed off in traffic yeah, it's worth paying a dollar or two more here in town.

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious: egg salad sandwich, meat pie of the day (sausage and cheese), and to share, a butterhorn. I had never heard of a butterhorn but when it comes to baked goods, am usually up to trying anything. And I am so glad I did. Best way to describe it is that it is like a cinnamon bun but with vanilla and white sugar that caramelizes with the butter. And no cinnamon. If only we weren't driving through with no way to get back any time soon. I should have bought 6. Or even 12. They were that good.

Doing some Christmas shopping and decided to stop in for coffee and treats…read more We did see this on Yelp a few years back, just had trouble finding it. The inside is black and white to give a animated feel. Very cute and busy place, with everyone raving about the items and staff inside.

There is seating outside, that's more for the summer month with your dog. We will definitely be returning!!!

Two people on staff is not enough when it's busy, especially if they have to prepare somewhat elaborate items. We probably waited 10 minutes for our orders. My mother-in-law had a breakfast bagel and my mom and I tried an espresso and ice cream desert. This desert is awesome by the way and consists of coffee ice cream, condensed milk, espresso and a chocolate wafer stick. There might even be some whipped cream in there. Tumbleweed is a nice change of scenery after a few hours of everything vintage.
