    Spolumbos sausage on a baguette topped with sautéed onions and a healthy dose of garlic.
    Dale E.

    Am I ever happy I walked into this café! The staff (who I later found out are the owners because they're so friendly and fun to talk to,) are so friendly and fun to talk to, (wouldn't you know it?) they had me at 5-stars before I even sat down. The first thing that crossed my mind was "Wow! These people are unusually friendly!" They come across as genuinely passionate about their place and their products without being pushy about them. They seemed honestly pleased that I chose to visit their shop. My second thought: "Why would that be 'unusual'? I have no idea, but you really did cut through the clutter, Velvet Café! They have a daily lunch special that changes every day (wouldn't you know it?). If all of them are as good as the one I had today I'll never get bored of eating here. Today's Special: Spolumbo's sausage on a baguette with sauteéd veggies and some type of fancy aioli whose name escapes me for $7.99. Yum! Along with the sauteéd red and orange peppers this baguette came with a monster helping of sauteéd garlic on a bed of fresh spinach. If you're making this a date or a work lunch, make sure you've got your mints and toothpicks. If you didn't, don't even worry about it. The sandwich is worth sabotaging your love life/job over. They've also got a whole array of tasty looking salads in the cooler and an assortment of house made sandwiches in the $5 - $6 range. I'm looking forward to checking out the brisket sandwich. I heart Alberta beef. You're used of seeing a basket of cookies on the counter in a coffee shop. But are you used to seeing CARAME BACON COOKIES?! I thought not. They serve Salt Spring Coffee, my favourite of the "Gourmet but still available at Safeway" coffee varietals and there are plenty of loose leaf tea types for all you tea drinkers out there. The place is modern, approachable and acceptable for a really wide range of people. Large windows are everywhere so you can bask in the sunshine, or sit on the patio on the warm days, or cuddle up with your coffee by the fire place on the cold ones. There's even a long couch covered in pillows. I think if I sat down here I would never be able to leave. I hope my solid across the board experience from today is repeatable for everyone, because I think Mt. Pleasant just might have a new gem!

    Omg this plaaaaace! And it's right next to my house! I'm in trouble. If you're going to spend 4-6$ on a delicious hand-crafted espresso drink, PROMISE me you get it from Velvet Cafe??????? After trying to get into John's Bfast and Lunch which had a grand total of like 4 tables, my husband I decided to check out Velvet Cafe and to our surprise, they had hot breakfasts! The staff, who I think are the owners, are incredible excited and friendly. Their breakfast special on this particular day was a breakfast wrap with egg and house made sausage. Um yum. I paired this with a salted caramel latte and just about died and went to heaven. I literally sent my brother AND another friend to Velvet Cafe the same day. I'm going back, I can't wait to see what else they have baking up this week.

    You have got to experience the delicious food prepared at this little cafe! All the food is prepared with fresh ingredients from scratch. Adam Cook, owner of The Velvet Cafe, is a personable and talented young chef offers delicious homemade soups, fresh salads, grilled paninis, fresh baking, and daily specials. Best of all, you can take it home...wonderful gourmet to go food! There are also gluten free dishes. We enjoyed the Coconut Chicken Curry that was the special offered for the day. It was a party in your mouth! They also have specialty coffee and teas. We will definitely be back!

    Element Cafe - Red velvet cookie and hot chocolate

    Great place IMO, can get busy as it's fresh foods + thanks to being off 17th with generous plugs …read more Not heavily staffed, so not for a rush, but I bet it keep prices down & quality up. Local artwork varies, added eye candy! Breakfast menu is ethnic (Turkish?)

    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.
