Saw this place across from George Moss Park and came on in. Perfectly brewed coffee, friendly staff & peaceful atmosphere. Even has a giving wall for guests in need!

A perfect flat white, which is so hard to find in Calgary. I wish I could come here more often, and will definitely be coming back to try the food. There's a really good playground opposite, and a pump track will open soon, so really good for families!

Came here with some friends for the first time. Staff was super helpful and friendly. It was a cooler morning so they opened additional seating space and delivered our food and drinks right to our table. The Pumpkin spice latte was delicious, and the blueberry muffin was amazing as well. Will definitely be coming back

Just what the neighbourhood needed! So great to support a local shop instead of a big chain brand. No tipping option for the staff, but you can instead buy a drink for someone else and they add it to a giving wall.

Casual and classy. There are many reasons this is my fave local coffee shop, but I’ll stick to the basics. Awesome coffee and bites. I love the Americano (best ever) and the beef hand pie. You can buy Brian‘s Blend beans to take home too. Playground and ice rink across the street. The gifting wall makes paying-it-forward easy. So good in so many ways. Thank you Hub:29!

Came in this morning for day 1 of Brian’s Cafe. What an incredible space supporting a great cause. Had a latte with oat milk and it was on spot! Incredible customer service as well. You can also donate to the Giving Wall and pay for a drink for someone who could benefit from a free cup

I used to own a coffee shop, I know my coffee pretty well. You can definitely tell that the shots were timed perfectly, and they put passion into every cup. I absolutely would come back here again. Prices are affordable, service is friendly, and best of all the coffee tastes great!

It was my first time here. Small cozy place. Quite nice place I had a cappuccino but they only have one size 8 OZ. I like cappuccino with honey but they didn’t have any. Splenda is my second choice. I tried a plain croissant good Nothing to complain about. Recommend for a quick good coffee I wish they have more sandwiches options Oh fair price
