Kienna Cafe - Calgary, Alberta

The coffee was tasty, and they had nice places to sit and visit or work on homework. The big tables are fantastic, too often coffee shops have tiny round tables, but Kienna had nice options. Limited food options though, just a few cookies and muffins, so not as good for a ... long stay. Read more

This is exactly what I want in a cafe. It's wheelchair accessible comma with enough room to move around and find a table, unlike some other chains. There is a good selection of coffee and treats available, and they roast and sell their own coffee comma with reusable k-cups to ... cut down on waste. Free Wi-Fi! Usually not crowded, and just one block off the river pathway system. Read more

What a great addition to Kensington. Great coffee, good pastries, and free Wi-Fi. The day I was there, they had a deal where any muffin or croissant was $1 with the purchase of a drink. The service was a little slow, but no big deal as I was planning on ... staying a while and working on my laptop. I've passed over this place in the past in favor of going to Higher Ground, but I think I'll be visiting Kienna Café more often now. Read more

What a great place! The lady working let me in early and brewed me a coffee as I was a few minutes late. This is a must if you are in the area, grab some great coffee and relax in the cafe for a bit in their comfy chairs!

Our experience at The Coffee Market was remarkable for several distinct reasons. First was the owner, Rob, a young, conscientious man with a passion for coffee and appreciation of the finer craft of making it. Rob had spent time in Haiti personally meeting with and selecting the farmers who ... supply his beans. This caliber of dedication to the example of fair trade is impressive. Second was the assortment of wonderfully simple and elegant apparatus for purchase--any of which would make brewing coffee at home a zen like experience. And lastly, we enjoyed our drinks and the hip vibe of being there. If you are looking for a great cup of joe and a worthy local small business to support or simply tired of the corporate chain offerings, than The Coffee Market is for you. Read more
