I have gone here a few times years apart since visiting and I have always enjoyed this cafe. 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.

It was busy for a Friday morning but we only waited 10minutes for our drinks and pastries to come out. I came in thinking I would get a latte but the stoke juices looked so good I ended up getting the hulk green juice. It sure was yummy!! I usually can tell it will be good when I look at the boldness of the juice colors. My partner ordered a Spanish latte and it was fantastic. The condensed milk was proportioned just right so not too sweet. We also ordered a bunch of pastries and savory bites! The spinach ricotta wrap was so delicious and flaky especially when warmed! I also loved the hazelnut filled cruffin!! Definitely plan to stop by again on my back to the airport.

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!

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.
