If you are looking for great coffee without attitude or arrogance this is your place. Basic food options, including gluten free bagels and sandwiches, all good. La Marzocco espresso machine, friendly staff, and great espresso beverages.
This spot serves the best coffee + expresso milkshake. In terms of food, I've only tried one sandwich and quite enjoyed it. I wish they accepted other forms of payment apart from cash/debit though.
What a cute little spot. We always drive past, and I finally got the chance to pop in for a coffee date today. I opted for a soy earl grey tea misto and it came in such a nice big cup - pretty much a bowl!! It was so delicious and just what I wanted. My friend had a latté and a cinnamon bun, which looked delicious! We stayed for a while and really had a lovely time. Everyone is really friendly, even all the other coffee-goers! Keep in mind, they only do cash or debit, no credit. Will definitely keep it in mind for future coffee dates!
Cafe Beano is a quaint and local cafe frequented by locals, and my first impresion was that it reminded me of retro diners in the 60s movies. They have a lot of drinks to offer, and cater to vegans too! When you order to stay, they serve your coffee in what is essentially a soup bowl! My soy latte was good, but not the best in Calgary. The cafe has a retro and chill atmosphere, which is perfect to read a book or catch up ith friends (they have Wi-fi). There aren't a lot of outlets, so I wouldn't recommend working here if you have a laptop that needs to be charged.
I am IN LOVE with Cafe Beano!
Between the beautiful, laid back baristas, to the coffee and food, I would reccomend Cafe Beano to anyone who is looking for a nice morning, afternoon, or evening location to enjoy a spot of food, or exceptional coffee.
The prices can be high with food, however. You are recieving what you paid for in flavour.
I am always impressed.
Thank you!
Enjoyed a yummy Vietnamese coffee here last Sunday. My lady and I wanted to spend some time reading, the music was a little too loud for this. It also closes at 10 on Sundays - the barista says that they will be closing at 10 for the duration of the winter. Great place for coffee, despite the noise!
I wouldn't say the service is great, but I love the coffee and tea there so much. And the baked goods.
If you haven't, try the London Fog - they are the best in town.
Great coffee shop on the Beltline! I am in love with their hot chocolates and steamers! Loving the modern hipster feel you get from the atmosphere.
Caffe Beano is a local hotspot of caffeine enthusiasts and casual coffee drinkers alike. With a busy atmosphere, friendly staff, and a wide drinks menu, it is always an easy option for grabbing a drink on the go, or spending the afternoon coffee break people watching. One of my favourites has got to be the Vietnamese coffee. Prepared with condensed milk, if offers a nice balance between the sweetness of the milk, and the strong ground of the coffee behind it. Definitely worth a try!
I'm no hepcat and I'm pushing 60. But when I'm at Beano, I feel like I'm one of the cool kids. This place has got such a great atmosphere. Filled with young arty types and your usual older coffee shop crowd. As for the coffee, it's always hot, full bodied stuff. Real gourmet if you ask me. The hot chocolates are fantastic and so are the milk shakes. Best to come by on a cold winter day when you're feeling a little blue. Beano's coffee will pick you right up.
We had a great coffee date at Beano. We all had the YYC Hot chocolate, which was amazing.
We all tried different food and snack items. Everything was fresh and delicious (totes try their bagels).
Friendly service.
My only complaint is I wish they took credit cards.
I’ve been a few times now and it’s always a good experience! Staff are friendly and it’s overall just a feel good, diner style cafe! I tried the yyc hot chocolate fest seasonal hot chocolate, which is a matcha mint hot chocolate! It was so good! Worth a try before hot chocolate fest is over!
Rachelle and Dylan are just the nicest ladies, I see Rachelle often when ordering the best coffee in the world (Vietnamese Hot Coffee).
It's a cool vibe, nice people and amazing drinks. I highly recommend this place and then some!
Amazing Cafė Mocha here! It is served in a proper bowl, hot AND has ACTUAL CHOCOLATE shaved right on top! They really hit the mark on serving a chocolaty delight!
The layout of the actual café is unique. It is chopped up so it offers a variety of seating locations to have a private conversation.
Unfortunately it is impossible for anyone with mobility issues to come inside and stay. There are stairs everywhere here right from the entrance.
As long as you are able bodied, you will enjoy it here!
This place has stood the test of time, and has been open for 30 years for a reason. They have a created a social place to enjoy a good cup of coffee and some good desserts. I appreciate their compliance to the COVID mandates. I recommend trying the Vietnamese style latte, it is my go to.
Items I tried today:
- YYC hot choco: I personally dont like matcha taste so this is not the right one for me
- Vietnamese ice coffee: as a Viet, I am suprise that it's taste ways better than I expect. Not so many western coffee shops serving Viet Coffee, you must try if you want something new.
*friendly staff and nice decor outside
Had great coffee while visiting the place with my kids on this cool coffee shop on 17th Av. Will return for breakfast
