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.

We had the beef cheek bennie, side salad, fries with salmon skin salt and garlic aioli and the Longanisa Eggie. All of it was delicious, came on time and was SO DECADENT! I highly recommend the beef cheek bennie- it was rich, packed with flavour and everything in it was a perfect compliment. The Longanisa eggie was also fantastic and the Longanisa itself taste homemade. The fries were perfectly cooked and so great - lots of umami. Garlic aioli was great. Service was also fantastic - everyone was friendly, and we were promptly seated. Highly recommend if you're looking for a GREAT breakfast!

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.

It wasn't what I expected or envisioned but I did like it. The chocolate cake looked good, but seemed a little dry. It did not taste as good as it looked. A note in response to other reviewer. Having the plastic wrap left on the cake is not unusual in an Asian restaurant. I have seen it done in Japan and in Chinese pastry shops in America. You use the tines of your fork to unwind it.

For the portions provided, $10 is more than fair for well-prepared comfort food!

They offer two fresh soups every day which are clearly not canned and made from scratch. They also offer a different special every day of the week that can be supplemented with a salad or a small soup. These specials range from clubhouse sandwiches, to spring roll on vermicelli, to mac n' cheese (scratch made). One of my go-to places for lunches and as a soup connoisseur they are able to beat out most places by providing homemade soups instead of the typical generic Campbell's stuff you find in most delis. One thing I would like is for them to switch up and try their hand at making other soups because I have been here so many times the soups are getting slightly old (but still tastier and better value than Sunterra) TLDR: Soups good, specials can be good, sandwiches fresh, salad available.
