My Personal Guide to the Coziest Calgary Coffee Shops (For House Hunting Fuel)

Let’s be real: house hunting is exciting, but it can also be a marathon. And marathons require fuel. Not the protein-bar kind (though those help too) — I’m talking about coffee.

Whether I’m meeting clients for a first showing or spending an afternoon writing offers, I have my go-to coffee spots around Calgary. They’re cozy, they’re welcoming, and they make the perfect pit stop between listings.

Phil & Sebastian

Local, iconic, and seriously good coffee. With several locations across the city, it’s easy to find one nearby. Their lattes are smooth, their pastries are great, and the vibe is always buzzing.

Analog

If you need a strong cup of coffee to power through a busy day, this is the place. The baristas know their craft, and the café vibe makes it easy to pause and recharge.

Higher Ground (Kensington)

This spot feels like home. Cozy, warm, and perfect for people-watching. I love stopping here when I’m in the inner city.

Monogram

Modern, bright, and polished. Their espresso is top-notch, and they always have interesting seasonal drinks that feel a little special.

Rosso Coffee Roasters

Friendly staff, bright spaces, and a solid menu. They’re consistent and reliable — exactly what you need in the middle of a long showing day.

Why Coffee Shops Matter in Real Estate

It might sound silly, but coffee shops actually matter when choosing a neighbourhood. They become part of your routine, your community, and your lifestyle. For a lot of my clients, being within walking distance of a great café is a huge plus.

Final Sip

Real estate decisions are big — but they’re easier (and way more fun) with a good latte in hand. So if you ever see me in a coffee shop with a laptop open, there’s a good chance I’m writing an offer, mapping out showings, or planning the next big move… fueled by caffeine.
