I really enjoy the muffins and coffee at Good Earth. I have been to this location several times and it was always been positive. Most recently, I had a Cafe Mocha and it was delicious! read more

I have been going to the Good Earth Cafe for a number of years. On the most part, I am a pretty happy customer. I usually go there for their lunch menu. However, this morning on the drive into work, I was thinking about the omelettes that I use to have occassionally at the Good Earth Cafe. They use to be baked in a large pan and scooped out. I'd be discreetly jonesing for them to hand me that omelette full of eggs, veggies and cheese, while the barista took, what felt like forever, to get it into my excited little hands. It genuinely looked homemade, sloppy and absolutely delicious. So I took a sharp right off Crowchild to go by there for a quick breakfast. When I arrived, instead of the big pan with the gooey omelette in it, they had a "southwest bake" that looked like it was baked in a large muffin tin. So no more gooey mess. This was sadly, perfect looking, pre-measured and pulled out of the muffin tin with a spatula, and dropped into the take-out containter in its perfect form. It tasted okay, but it was a distant second from the gooey omelettes they use to serve. This omelette had all the fixings, including potatoes baked into its perfect package. So needless to say, I left their satisfied with what I had, but a little bit disappointed that they dont serve up omelettes like the good ol' days. So after that big rant, why did I give them four stars anyway? Lots of reasons! I do primarily go to Good Earth for lunch, and that is where they get the majority of my business. I have never had a bad meal there. I really do enjoy their variety of salads and their hot food. I have tried a number of their soups and chilis, and of course, I am no stranger to their coffees and lattes either. I am also really happy with the renovations that they did in there. They have really spruced up the place. They even have a magazine shop attached to the coffee shop. Smart. :) I also like what this company, as a whole, stands for. Good Earth cares about the environment and they have stayed true to their mission - to be a coffee house, and to serve good food (but please bring back the omelettes...) read more

Jasmine's service was impeccable. Only place in the area open at 6:30 for those who can't wait till 7! Had the French Press dark roast pot of coffee. Best way to have it and I was not disappointed. I will be back! read more

Pretty good place for a quick cup of coffee. Service was good, as the baristas were a little crazy, but fun. Coffee was good and strong, although not the best I've had. read more

Good Earth Coffeehouse - a man walking through a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Popular spot. Normally lots of tables but with Covid it's hard to get a table even in the summer with the outdoor seating. Coffee/food//pastries are all very good. Staff are pleasant and conversational and the interior is comfortable. Had to stand at the table because there were no chairs which I found strange. Could have had at least 2 chairs at the stand up table and maintain the 2 metre distance. Overall, good place. read more

Coffee is excellent but would not recommend this restaurant as a place to eat. Their food is extremely overpriced.

I figured it was time for a Good Earth update. A year since my last review, it's still one of my solid go-to spots to hang out on my laptop or meet a friend for a nice hot bevvy. This location in particular is spacious and well laid out, with a mixture of tables, comfy chairs and larger community-style tables to choose from. The white chocolate scone remains one of my fave snacks here too.. and is also one of the first things to run out if I wait to long to come get one! The staff are always friendly, and ordering remains a positive experience. The coffee is alright. If you're a coffee snob, you may not like it. But if you like something that's just a decent cuppa joe, this is your spot. The selection of food includes sandwiches, salads, soups and even mac'n'cheese, You can even get a panini and a small soup or salad for under $10. For awhile, the wifi was a little sketchy, popping in and out of service, but that seems to have remedied itself. So... the good news is, not a whole lot has changed at this location!

Dear white chocolate and berry scone, I was introduced to you the other week. You looked much like your other baked friends but with one bite, I knew there was something different about you. Your berries were plump, your white chocolate melted in my mouth and your dough - oh how moist! I should warn you, my new friend, (may I call you my new friend?) I think you're more like cake then scone. But that's a technicality. I just wanted to let you know that you're my favourite part of an Albertan morning. And the fact that you have plugs, wi-fi and tables galore makes me smile even more. Thanks for the yum! Your scone loving fan, Crystal read more

Went to the Bankers Hall location. Had a drip coffee. My friend got a latte and said it was the best he has had. read more

Chai latte with soy milk+pumpkin spice muffin (vegans take note of this muffin as it is the best ever)= love Good thing Good Earth is so bloody expensive or else I'd feast on these things every morning. read more

One of the biggest Good Earth Cafes I've visited in Calgary so far, and it's a REALLY happenin' place. Steps away from 17th avenue, and attached to 'With The Times', a magazine/newspaper shop where you can buy a few mags to peruse while you sip your java, this Good Earth Cafe draws in a crowd like nobody's business. The service is great and their selection of baked goods is pretty extensive. Plus they carry a mean pumpkin spice muffin that I'm actually obsessed with right now :) My only qualm about the place is that it's a little too busy for my liking. Sometimes I like to retract into a quiet place with a book and a coffee and there's just too much goin' on here to find that recluse. read more

I don't normally go to Good Earth as my first coffee option, but sometimes I will stop by this location when I am in the neighbourhood. It's got a lot of space for a coffee shop with nice tables or comfy seats, but what I really like is the outdoor seating. When the summer hits, I like to enjoy my coffee/tea outside with a book and this is a good place to do it. Occasionally I will have a treat here and have never been disappointed, the coffee is pretty good, and I love that they have almond milk as an option - take note my fellow lactose intolerant folks! Their lattes with almond milk are pretty good, so worth a try even if you can have milk. But, like another reviewer mentioned, I cannot come here everyday as the prices are a little bit higher than competing shops. Either way, it's a nice stop for reading a book alone or enough room for a gathering of friends! read more

I really love this place. It is clean, staff is friendly and for a chain they do a great fresh job with their food. I would give them a five except for the way they deal with their plastic Dif salads are all pre-measured out and put in plastic containers with lids. At other good earth cafés you can have your fruit salad to stay in a bowl, dished out from a larger serving bowl. Think of the one time plastic they are using. Also, why is there no metal cutlery available. The counter is filled with containers of plastic cutlery, that is no different than putting out a bunch of plastic straws. In fact there is a container of straws for the taking available also. Why? Most cafés and restaurants don't even offer straws anymore. I would love to come back and give these guys a five star, but they have to improve their one time plastic use. read more

This cafe is a convenient walk from my apartment, and I enjoy coming here because I never have to fight for a seat! It's a great spot to come and catch up with a friend or to study. The staff has always been very friendly, and the food and coffee is decently priced. If you're looking for a coffee shop that won't be overpopulated like a lot of other trendy coffee places in Calgary, this is a great place to visit. read more

Good Earth Coffeehouse - Almond Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Constantly looking for places that are good meeting spots... this is a favorite. Easy location to get to. There is always parking. Free spots can be hard to find, however price for city meters in this area is beyond reasonable. Three is background noise playing but it is never to loud, so easy for groups for 6 or more to meet. Lattes are awesome. I bring my own cup and always pay less than posted. When I am really hungry I have a hot chocolate, with WHIP of course - always hits the spot. When devices need juice, there are plug-ins in various spots thru the venue - so usually able to top up. read more

The first and original Good Earth Cafe. I love this place. Very open, lots of space, lots of natural light. The food and beverage fair is the same as with every other Good Earth location in the city, so decor and location are pretty much the differentiators. My only complaint is a lack of power outlets. There's only about three accessible outlets in the entire place despite all the seating, so if you're plugging away on a laptop and desperately need power, it's sometimes difficult to get that. But the wi-fi is free (no password) which is always nice. One of the many places you'll find me if I'm looking for a coffee shop to work at for a couple of hours in the beltline. 24/30 read more

Love love love this place. Both times i've gone the service has been fantastic. The food was great and even though I had quite a few questions for the two ladies behind the counter in regards to stuff around the city, they had no problems explaining things to me and giving me tips. Would highly recommend! read more

Cozy ambiance, yummy London Fog (Earl Grey latte), fresh pastries, and live local music on a Monday night. Perfect for an intimate meet up. read more

Typical Canadian chain of locally owned cafes- nice idea, not so much execution. This location is cleaner than others, lots of tables and people working on laptops. Few power outlets, but space and some arm chairs. Not exactly cozy, but decent. Service seems complacent. Sometimes I wonder if I'm ruining the barista's day or something. No one goes around and picks up plates or checks in on you. It kind of feels like the cafe of sadness. Coffee @ GE usually is weird/fruity/sour. Red Americanos are a little watery but pretty good. Regular Americanos also watery. Maybe it's the machine. Heard and tried good tea/ tea lattes. Food 90% overpriced/overrated. The custom oatmeal option is decent and they do have a gluten-free spanish egg bake thingy that isn't bad. read more

They purchase their coffee from Fratello which is a five star roaster the whole way and is local in Calgary. When the product is fresh then the beans they sell are five stars. Try the Oromia Sidamo, it is one of the top four or five Sidamos I have tasted. It is also not over roasted because Russ at Fratello is a world class roaster. However, this place has a freshness problem. I have seen beans on the shelf that are up to six months old. Sorry, but that is stale. Fratello, their supplier, will sell nothing more than 20 days old. Correct the freshness issue and I will give it a 4. read more

A - List. Recommended. Good drinks. friendly, comfortable, relaxing. Free wifi & there is a newspaper, etc. store next door. What more could one want? Best in the neighborhood. read more

Yeah this Good Earth is like the family dog, always willing to relax and chill with you. Lots of spaces to bring a laptop, comfy couches to relax in, delicious sweets, good coffee, convenient hours and the occasional pretty lady to pretend not to look at. read more

Free wifi, magazine shop right next door, good coffee, pleasant atmosphere. It's quiet enough to have meetings or chat with friends comfortably. AND, the pastries, smoothies, sandwiches and salads are tasty. A definite fave. read more

J Cullen- Good Earth has brand new Simonelli Aurelia machines in almost all of their shops (U of C and Eau Claire being exceptions) and with the new machines, better barista training and the general renos at this location, I think you'll be a bit more impressed. Espressos do run a little long at GE but if you ask for ristretto you get ristretto- as chains go, GE is pretty damn good. read more

Friendly and helpful staff, but food is just ok. The prices are too high for the value you get, very little choice for lunch menu.

Solid coffee option. Parking was easy. I came back here on our way out of Calgary to buy the chocolate zucchini loaf again. Delicious.

I love their concept but that only goes so far. The food quality is inconsistent, the service severely lacking, the baristas cannot make a good cappuccino and this and their other locations always look dirty. Their food cases food spilling off the bowls which look like they have .been there for days. There are so many other good coffee shops available. There's little 'good' in Good Earth Cafe. read more
