My daughter and I are huge fans of the Vegan Croissant breakfast sandwich at To Live For Bakery in…read moreVancouver, so when I was planning a trip for us to Calgary and found out that there's a vegan bakery in Calgary with a vegan breakfast sandwich, I knew I wanted to come and check it out. We came here with a couple of friends of ours whom we had come to Calgary to visit. The closest thing they have here to our beloved Vegan Croissant Breakfast sandwich is a Vegan Ham & Cheese Croissant. When I looked at it, it really wasn't jumping out at me. There were two other breakfast sandwich alternatives here and both of them were sandwiched between bagels rather than croissants. I prefer croissants but I do also like bagels and I don't eat bagels very often so I opted for the EBC which had vegan egg, bacon and cheese in it. This was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the taste of the vegan bacon in it. My daughter had the vegan Spinach Ricotta roll. I took a bite of it. Very impressed. Warm, flaky and it very much reminded me of Spanakopita. I think I'd order this for myself if I ever come back here again. For drinks we had Mango Matcha and Ube Chai. My Ube Chai came with some kind of Cinnamon flavored vegan whipping cream on top. I enjoyed my drink but didn't really taste much Ube in it. Mostly I tasted Cinnamon from the whipping cream. There was this big blue Cookie Monster cookie that was giving Cookie Monster Vibes. I bought one of these for us to share with our friends. Not bad, but not outstanding. I love the charming and relaxing atmosphere at this cafe. We had a nice, big round table all to ourselves. It's a cozy place and much easier to get a seat than To Live For Bakery which has lineups out the door everyday. Food here was pretty good. Not as good as To Live For, and they don't seem like they have regular features like To Live For's cube croissant which changes flavor about once a month and draws in crowds of people, and probably gets a ton of views on Instagram; however, the food here is still very good. A great neighbourhood place for vegans or non vegans interested in exploring plant based food.

Racial Profiling - plain clothed security…read more Went in to the 10th avenue store to look for supplements to help with my joint pain. Went to the supplement area looking for help, no one was there for ~5 minutes so I walked around till a staff member appeared and I asked for help. During that time, a plain clothed security follow me and watched me as I looked for products. Even when I was talking to a staff member, he followed us around and stared at me. After I decided on the product, I mentioned to the staff that it was very rude what the plain clothed security did to me. She said she noticed it as well and apologized. I went to the till to pay and to no surpise, the security guard was still staring at me. I them waved to him and paid. I called to complain to the main help line, told them my issue and said they would get back to me. It has been over two weeks. Probably didnt get back to me as they never asked for my contact information This is a classic case of racial profiling. No response from Community Natural Foods. Want to help a local business but not after this incident .

We were…read moreloyal shoppers for 15+ years without incident but staff at Crowfoot location were inexplicably hostile to my mom for no reason, accusing her of stealing without proof, addressing her in a too personal way, getting too close and in her face during Covid and most recently, when she was in a hurry and late for an appointment, they refuse to help her find a supplement and just ignored or avoided her. Understandably she was upset at the horrible lack of customer service she received. Rather than apologize, they shot her down then banned her the next day. We continued shopping at the downtown branch and occasionally I would pick up emergency items from the closer Crowfoot location. One day I rushed in in a hurry to pick something up, well aware they were closing soon. The supervisor called after me, telling me they're closing soon. I continued walking, well aware they were closing soon. She said 'Did you hear me?' I paused and said quite civilly, 'Yes.' the next thing I knew, I was banned. Presumably for that! Then to add insult to injury, when we went to the downtown branch we were told we are both banned there now too! This after 15 years of no incidences and being loyal customers, this is how they treat us. I called customer 'care' thinking it was a sick mistake and they said they would forward my concern to the appropriate person but no one ever got back to me. I then emailed them, no response. I have since told all my friends and colleagues of this hateful disgusting mistreatment. They were all shocked and won't shop there either. I work in customer service and we would never ever treat anyone so horribly without provocation. Im so disgusted and offended by their appalling hateful discriminatory behaviour.

Probably the biggest changes has been moving to a bigger location which gave them larger seating and market space. The space itself is bright and sunny all while remaining clean and causal. I personally love how they showcase lots of local products all of which would make great gift ideas for yourself or others. They have a large fridge with produce, groceries, and a variety of their own in-house made grab-and-go items. Unfortunately they have gotten rid of their daily to-go dinners as they made way for their revamped dine-in menu. They also just started to bring back their salad bar which is exciting (the tomato and chevre salad is amazing!). The menu is great and some of my personal favourites are the avocado toast, California breakfast bowl (I liked swap out the bacon for trout and its delicious) and mezze plate. The staff are all lovely and accommodating. I've been regularly coming here for many years and I plan to continue to do so.

It's always a good sign when you walk in on a weeknight and the place is packed with tables full of delicious food. Massive steaks and by massive I mean no smaller than 20oz. Whoa, is right. We kicked off the meal with the Octopus which was ammmmazzzing. It's so tender and very thinly sliced, served with Brussel sprouts and thin red onion. All of this on one fork is pure magic. Really. I swear. For the main show we opted for the Tagliatelle in blissful pomodoro sauce and generously topped with cheese. I mean...what more can you ask for? This is where the heaven part kicks in. One bite and your gone. We ordered a large to share which is very reasonable for the portion vs. price at $27. And because we are almost always over zealous when it comes to pasta we ordered the pasta special of the night, which was Morel mushrooms, asparagus, parm Reggiano and cauliflower purée. Also very, very good. As I'm sure it's no surprise there wasn't much room for dessert but I'll probably find a way to work this heavenly place back into the dinner round before we leave town.

The food was also superb, we ordered the valentines day special risotto with red wine reduction to give a nice pink rose like the color. The flavor was intensely good, soft and gooey texture. Next we ordered the pappardelle which was also amazing using lamb meat, sweet peas and wild buffalo cheese on top. Pasta sauce tasted fresh, not too sour and generous offers for the meat. I highly recommend both of them. For the finale, we ordered Bistecca and it was glorious. Soft, high quality meat and lots of fat, it is worth it. I would definitely come back for more.

We were four (two seniors) and went for an Avocado Wrap, an Egg Wrap, a Vegan Sandwich and, a Hummus Wrap. For beverages, we went for an Americano and a Ginger Tea with Milk. Now, unless you're alone, it won't make any sense to be here because the wraps (Avocado and Hummus) and the sandwich (Vegan) tasted very much the same. It was like the sandwich was the same as the wrap, except that the tortilla was replaced by bread. We didn't eat Egg Wrap since we're vegans but my father-in-law thought it was good. The worst experience we had was with the ginger tea. The issue was with the split milk. It might have to do with the ginger used since they showed us the milk they were using and it looked fine. The gentleman said that that's how it is and it doesn't mean the milk is bad or something. We weren't convinced - having had ginger tea every day back home. The gentleman showed his own ginger tea which he was drinking but that also had split milk and he was drinking it happily. By this time I had lost the motivation to argue and just left it there. Americano was okay. Overall, I'll give it a pass.
