The atmosphere is great, tons of games to choose from, and the people that worked there were so nice and helpful. I had a special seasonal matcha that was delicious and the food looked good too. My friend group ended up buying the game that we played because we enjoyed it so much and we will always be able to think back on our trip to Canada when we play together. I so wish we had a place like this where I live, I would spend a ton of time there!

Put our name on the waitlist and were called back an hour later. Found $0.75/hour street parking. Staff were friendly but busy. Go up to the front to get water, ask for help on a game, etc. $4.50/hour per person plus each person is required to buy food/beverage. Ginger and chocolate chip cookies ($3.50 each) were nicely warmed up. Good selection of board games to choose from. We were there for a couple of hours and played a mix of old and new games.

Sometimes some are hiding. When we visited, one cat was sick and there was a total of 6 cats. Some were as young as 7 months old and oldest was 5 years and 3 months. This place is run by the meow foundation and visitors can adopt a cat by filling in an application online. There are staff present at all times to ensure visitors to the cat room follow the rules. There is waiver they ask you to sign before entering cat room. Children under 11 need to be accompanied by an adult. It's $14 per person (for 30 minutes). It's $12 per person (for 30 minutes visit with the cats). We tried the raspberry cream cheese danish and the chocolate brownie cookie. This place has nice vibes and chill music. They have various cat items and toys for sale.

We had a little time to kill, and my family loves cats (and we were missing ours on our vacation)…read moreso we made this a surprise stop. You book in 30 minute increments, and we lucked out and got a spot walking in within an hour. We walked down to the nearby bookstore (Pages - which has a resident cat!) to kill time (and spend money) and headed back at our time. The volunteer in the space was so friendly, and the cats, while they were ALL asleep, were so cute and so accommodating to our skritches. The space has helped over 1,500 cats get adopted, which is so incredible, and while there is a charge to go in with the cats, it is worth it as it supports the shelter the cats come from. The staff at check out were so nice as well. It was a great experience, and we'd all go back in a heartbeat if we lived in Calgary.

I ordered their Xin Chao Morning Coffee, which was said to be stronger in flavor and caffeine compared to the Xin Chao Afternoon Coffee. I also ordered their fried pork spring rolls. Both the drink and the food were served in a timely manner and were worth the price! The staff were really kind as well. The café itself is not super spacious, but there is seating both upstairs and downstairs. The seating upstairs was more spread out compared to the seating downstairs, so it was naturally louder downstairs. There is free Wi-Fi as well as a self-serve station to get free water. While the chairs upstairs are comfortable to sit on, I found it difficult to do work (i.e. using my computer on the table) as the chairs themselves are leaned too far back and are unadjustable. I would recommend driving here versus public transport, as it was quite a walk from Rundle station (should you take the train). Overall a great café with good drinks and food, perfect for having a good conversation in! But I probably would not come here to study or do work, in my opinion.

We were visiting Calgary and were in need of a caffeine fix. We found this coffee shop after a…read morequick search. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a Vietnamese coffee shop out here in Calgary. We ordered two drinks to go - iced morning coffee and coconut coffee. The difference between the morning and afternoon coffee is the coffee roast that is used to make the drink. It is an iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. I have not seen this option of stronger coffee in Vancouver, but I think it is great that they have the option. I took a sip and it tasted exactly what I expected with a bold coffee kick and sweet condensed milk. I also enjoyed the coconut coffee. It was sweet and slushy with a good coconut flavour. This was way better than the Timmy's ice cap I had a few days earlier. Service was fast. We did not get to enjoy the ambiance as we had a list of activities we were trying to do for the day. Definitely, this place is worth a revisit when we are back in town again.
