    2 egg breakfast with bacon
    Carolyn M.

    A basic breakfast place with decent food and a homey feel. Nothing special, but still good. I had the two eggs breakfast with bacon.

    Excellent Ukrainian and traditional breakfast. The service was good and the food came out quickly. The coffee was even pretty good.

    Nellie's is a good spot for efficient breakfast. The diner is low-key, and has a homey feel, but nothing is overly fancy.

    Benedict was beautifully presented with sliced fruits/berries encompassing delicate and delicious Hollandaise adorned medium cooked eggs on a fresh muffin.

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 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.

One for now and a ham and brie sandwich for later. Everything was so delicious and fresh. I had the brisket bowl with scrambled eggs. So amazing. I want to replicate this at home but fear it will take some work. The gremalata was superior. The cronut was so light and almost melted in your mouth. The raspberry filled coconut cookie was chewy and light. The breakfast with sausage eggs and potatoes and toast was enough for two. We couldn't begin to eat it all and took some away for later. Love this place. Wish we had one. We received multiple recommendations to try this from locals as well. Lots of seating. Craft coffees. Bakery and savory and food for all hours. This is the spot for you!!

    tucked into calgary's beltline, this little french café feels like it was made for slow mornings…read moreand long catch ups. the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice, breathe a little deeper, and feel like you've been transported straight to paris (passport not required). so we had a late start to the day, showed up around 1:30 pm on a thursday and practically had the whole place to ourselves. the space is lovely, marble tables, black and white café chairs, it's curated but not fussy. perfect for catching up with a friend, or working solo. the pastry case is a total showstopper: buttery croissants, cookies under glass domes like little museum exhibits, and viennoiseries in flavours like cinnamon kouign amann, chausson aux pommes, beautifully striped croissants with apricot & almond, and saskatoon berry. they also make house made jams to sell in fun flavours like pear & vanilla, strawberry & basil, and mango & lemongrass. we scored the tufted velvet couch in the corner, it was soft, plush, and hands down the best seat in the house. we decided to share the following: mocaccino croissant tasted stale. dense, barely any coffee flavour, and a few scattered chocolate chips. almond croissant had a generous filling of frangipane that tasted too sweet. pear & vanilla croissant was the best of the bunch, it had some layers, slight crisp on the outside, and a subtle, not too sweet filling. caffe latte and matcha were just okay. the space is a whole vibe and worth visiting for the ambiance alone. pastry wise, we were hoping for buttery, flaky goodness with a nice chewy texture and only found a spark of it in one croissant. still, if you're in the neighbourhood, the black sheep's a charming little spot to hang out, maybe just stick to the coffee and the couch.

    Picked up a couple sweets and croissants from here. The croissants are colorful and filled, which…read moreis appreciated from both an aesthetic and taste perspective. There's some seating inside and a couple small tables outside; casual place. Most people seem to get their orders to go.

    Sam is the main reason I come to Deville in Kensington. I can go to a huge number of coffee shops…read moreto work, but Sam is unbelievably conscientious, considerate. I have worked in the oil and gas industry for over thirty-five years, and I have seen all kinds of employees/workers. I can tell you, there are VERY FEW who are as conscientious, who care about delivering as much as she does. I sensed that immediately. You need to be doing everything to get people 1/4 as professional and caring as she is.

    Deville is a relatively newcomer to the espresso/coffee/tea shop housed in an old repurposed brick…read morebuilding in an area that is quite frankly rife with shops of the same. There is little danger this area of town will ever run out of joe, that's certain. Go a block further and turn left and there 3-4 more of the same, just in case you were worried. Beautifully redesigned interior and lots of outdoor seating and the great architecture of the old building make this a great space to hang outside, weather permitting, and on my visits that's just what we did. The espresso drinks are spot on and if like myself you favor milks from non-lactating plants, they do a wicked oat milk flat white or latte. The black coffees are also excellent and I stayed long enough that my cup got refilled more times than I could recall. On my first visit I neglected to bring a mask, and they were kind and happy to provide one free of charge. Appreciated. Great spot to work as well which I did on a couple of days. Out of the 7-8 places I tried for espresso drinks on my visit I'd rate this as second best, but with hands down the best vibe for enjoying time with friends and family. Highly recommended.
