Why 5 stars? Because we got exactly what we needed…read more --- --- --- We landed in Calgary with a plan to hop in the rental car and head straight to Banff. But our hunger got the best of us, so we ended up stopping in town for lunch across the street from Element Cafe. Our next mission was to get caffeine and a little something sweet to finish off lunch. Element Cafe achieved both of these goals. I ordered an Americano and it did the trick. But I really enjoyed the Birthday Cake cookie. The cookies caught my eye because they looked a lot like the mountains we were about to see in Banff: they had many ridges and depth to them. The guy working in here even offered to heat them up for us before I could ask, so he really understood the keys to our heart. My only piece of feedback would be: when you heat the cookies up, don't be shy! Push that dough to the limit and let your cookies be enjoyed the way God intended: like they just came out of the oven. With that being said, the guy was the picture of a nice Canadian. Don't let his slightly under heating on this day shape how you view him as a fellow human. He was great, as were his cookies and his coffees.

I was expecting just a decent meal but was pleasantly surprised. First off, the service was top notch. Rafaelle (spelling?) made sure our water was topped off at all times and checked up on us in perfect intervals. He really made our experience great. The food and beers were great as well. I got the papardelle bourguignon and we split the house kettle chips. Both were very tasty. The bourguignon was cooked perfectly and the portion was just right; not too heavy and not too light. I want to come back and try the poke bowl next time. The atmosphere there is also very nice. It was a great location for us to discuss business and enjoy our food. Thank you for the great experience! I will definitely be back.

Very popular, and rightfully so. They've got lots of self-serve bakery items like mochi donuts, cronuts, Korean pastry items. As well as freshly baked breads, whole/sliced cakes, and many drink options. We tried the: -strawberry mochi (3.5/5) -biscoff mochi (5/5, love the chewy texture & flavour) -coffee custard cronut (3/5, I've had less greasy ones with better texture) I would definitely like to try their other cakes & pastry items in the future!

You pay for the wrapping/packaging. You get 3 stems of flowers for $35 basically with beautiful wrapping paper around it. Drinks are okay. Servers are fine, ambience is fine. Gets loud when it's busy, so not a great place to study. Stools are uncomfortable so I would try to sit at a table if you can help it. All in all it's okay, would recommend if you have the money. But if you're looking for a more budget friendly cafe I would steer clear.
