Joe’s Cafe is an institution on the Commercial Drive strip. There’s actually a Joe. He and his brother opened the place in 1974. Joe’s is packed during the World Cup, especially and obviously when Portugal is playing. There was a bit of misunderstanding with some lesbians in 1991 but for the most part, [...] Sometimes you just need a dependable, convenient and inexpensive place for lunch. Chez Faye Cafe fits that bill in Yaletown, right beside the Roundhouse SkyTrain station. It serves breakfast, coffee, sandwiches, pasta and a handful of Korean and Japanese dishes, for under $9.

As Calgary’s closest answer to Whole Foods, Sunterra Market stocks organic [...] I have a new favourite coffee shop. The Vendome Cafe is in the Sunnyside heritage building where Heartland Cafe used to be, behind the LRT station. The owners of Teatro run it now.
