Xin Chao is a cozy and comfortable café that offers a good selection of drinks (including…read moreVietnamese coffee) and snacks! I ordered their Xin Chao Morning Coffee, which was said to be stronger in flavor and caffeine compared to the Xin Chao Afternoon Coffee. I also ordered their fried pork spring rolls. Both the drink and the food were served in a timely manner and were worth the price! The staff were really kind as well. The café itself is not super spacious, but there is seating both upstairs and downstairs. The seating upstairs was more spread out compared to the seating downstairs, so it was naturally louder downstairs. There is free Wi-Fi as well as a self-serve station to get free water. While the chairs upstairs are comfortable to sit on, I found it difficult to do work (i.e. using my computer on the table) as the chairs themselves are leaned too far back and are unadjustable. I would recommend driving here versus public transport, as it was quite a walk from Rundle station (should you take the train). Overall a great café with good drinks and food, perfect for having a good conversation in! But I probably would not come here to study or do work, in my opinion.

The interior is bright and welcoming, with lots of wood tones in the cafe. We were able to order and find seats pretty quickly, as there are good amount of spots inside. I decided to order one of their seasonal drinks, which I think was a fruit-based matcha. The drink was quite good, although it was a bit on the pricey side. I can see why people come here, since the other lattes I saw also seemed to be intriguing with some interesting flavors. Pretty solid cafe in the downtown area, it's a nice one to stop by.

The barista made me feel like my drink order was interupting her conversation with another staff member.

I would stop in again, only because I really enjoy the drinks, but don't expect a stellar customer service experience, and save the small talk for the nursing staff.

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.

When my bf and I went we were not overly hungry so we decided to get an entree and share and I am so glad that we did since the portions here were enormous. The service was also great and the ambiance inside was cute and bubbly with tons of bright colors! We decided to get the lunch special of the Duck confit monte cristo which is French toast stacked with bacon, duck, a fried egg and arugula and paired with cheese and maple syrup. I requested the cheese on the side since I am lactose intollerant but my bf is not. Everything about this dish was fresh, packed with flavor and perfectly sweet and savory. My favorite part was the fluffy French toast and the rich duck pieces. Slathering everything in Canadian maple syrup was the right move and the maple syrup elevated the entire dish even more! While the dish was incredible, the drinks sadly fell short as we decided to get the matcha latte and the oat milk masala chai. Out of the two the masala chai definitely had more spice and flavor but both were mild for my liking and a tad watery.

Finally when she decided it was worth her time, she told me I had to wait an additional five minutes for the coffee to brew. I said that's fine. I went out of my way to get something that wasn't Tim Hortons, so I'll wait. Finally when the coffee was brewed, she forgot my order again and had me repeat myself (no tip for you). Asked for two cream, was directed to a station off to the side where the cream and sugar was. I didn't realize I was paying extra to have to make the coffee myself. Went over to add cream. Carafe was empty. Asked her to refill the cream, she rinsed it with tap water and handed it back to me. It was basically just her dirty dish water. This is all completely unacceptable, and I told her as much. Side note, while I was waiting for the five minutes, another woman asked to used the washroom since it was locked. The helper lady (a different person) acknowledged her, but then continued to grind beans and organize cabinets while this woman was doing the bathroom dance right there, before finally seeing to the bathroom key. Just beyond unacceptable.
