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.

It is nice to be able to have an Analog Cafe at SouthCentre-just wish their shop was more intimate and isolated from the mall.

This was by far my favorite coffee shop in Banff. My friends and I got two croissants and Chai…read morelattes, and the Chai latte seriously hit so hard. Especially because it was so cold outside, the Chai latte was probably one of the best if not the best I've ever had. Their croissants are so perfectly flakey, and I especially enjoyed their strawberry croissant. The jam inside was the perfect touch of sweetness. I had such fond memories here that I was craving their latte even on the last day of our Banff trip. It's located inside a beautifully lobby of a hotel, so there's plenty of seating!

I've also had their bacon breakfast sandwich, which was good but a bit greasy. I wish they reheated their baked goods since they didn't taste fresh when we had them -- the ham & cheese croissant and hazelnut chocolate croissant were a bit stale despite getting it in the morning.

I have…read moregotten a matcha here in the past that was okay, but their fall drinks currently look so good. This time around I tried something they offer by reservation called afternoon tea for $40. We each got to pick a tea for our tea pot and had about 8 options. The tea itself wasn't anything special. We tried the chai and the alforno blend which both didn't taste very strong. The afternoon tea deal also came with a snack tower, the bottom consisting of savory sandwich bites, and the top two levels with pastries and sweets. The things that stood out to me were the lemon meringue, fruit tart, and the carrot cake (the cream cheese frosting was really tasty). Overall, this was a super cute and fun thing to try. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to try little bites of various things they carry.

Checked this place out while exploring Calgary…read more Very busy brunch spot, beautiful pastry display. - Service was very quick, team was super friendly and made a good treat suggestion. Lemon tart - tart was good, nice crunch to it, lemon was tangy and sweet - just the right combinations of flavours. So why just three stars - well the drink was a let down for me, matcha was not coming through - ended up tasting more like a cup of sweetened oat milk. I'd come back to explore there other pastries, or try there brunch - but that would need to wait until I visit Calgary again.

Probably the biggest changes has been moving to a bigger location which gave them larger seating and market space. The space itself is bright and sunny all while remaining clean and causal. I personally love how they showcase lots of local products all of which would make great gift ideas for yourself or others. They have a large fridge with produce, groceries, and a variety of their own in-house made grab-and-go items. Unfortunately they have gotten rid of their daily to-go dinners as they made way for their revamped dine-in menu. They also just started to bring back their salad bar which is exciting (the tomato and chevre salad is amazing!). The menu is great and some of my personal favourites are the avocado toast, California breakfast bowl (I liked swap out the bacon for trout and its delicious) and mezze plate. The staff are all lovely and accommodating. I've been regularly coming here for many years and I plan to continue to do so.
