    So I've had the attention span of a gnat these days, and I find it really hard to concentrate on actually getting anything done while at home. So I was in desperate need for a close coffee shop that I can park my butt for a few hours and actually get some work done. I tried the Starbucks a few times but its always so full and actually kind of cold, and the Buffalo Wild Wings Chicken place which surprisingly has Wi-Fi but lets face it they sell beers and have the hockey game on so aint nothing getting done. And then I found it. Its like angels open the clouds and a light shone on the Waves Coffee House. So this is the weirdest building. Anyone in the area knows that this building has been everything under the sun. It was a once a discount movie theater and then turned into a church. Since then it looks like its been split up. There is some kind of University of Calgary nursing, teaching office. And the Waves Coffee house. One of the coolest features is the high ceilings like I said it was once a movie theater so it has high ceilings and they totally went with it. They have these two giant hanging crystal chandeliers like things. Another really unique thing is they have a board room. You can rent it out for parties, meetings and such. The food is good, snacky like deserts and sandwiches. The coffee is good, I think. I'm not much of a coffee drinker so I really cant say to much about all that. But really its the staff that really completes it. They are just so nice, they seem like they remember me so that makes me smile.

    I just stopped in to check the place out and I was greeted right away with friendly smiles. The barista's are polite and highly knowledgable about the menu and pointed me in the right direction of what I would like. Man was she right the "canadiano" was the perfect cup of coffee for breakfast. I love this place and I will most definitely be adding this to my morning routine. Very clean and organized and they play original music. I will be recommending this to friends and family

    They do host quite a few business events in the conference room so there's people coming and going all the time but never feels to busy.

    Paid $10 for a cup of hot chocolate. Not sure what to exactly feel about this haha but it was good,…read morerich, and thick. Definitely tastes authentic. Just not the best I've had. I'll come back tho. Probably one of the best places to get hot chocolate in Calgary tho no cap Service was great. Owner was there. Super nice and friendly. Ambiance is also cute. Small place but clean and aesthetic. Overall, just great. Seemed like a place with quality.

    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.
