Really friendly and accommodating staff. The soup I had was good, not too salty or under seasoned. Cute decor on the inside with the wooden tables and succulents, will be coming back!
My favourite place for lunch when I'm working from home. I usually have food at home but I find myself going to Velvet Cafe instead for a sandwich and tea because it's really that good! I wonder if they sell their pickles by the jar because I would buy them.
A hidden little treasure!
Unlike most cafes, Velvet makes everything in house.
From scratch.
Do yourself a favour and make the trip.
You'll thank me.
Velvet Cafe is a small, local cafe that provides an alternative to Calgary’s more famous, hipster cafes. They offer good food and drinks in a comfortable, but a bit run-down setting. The staff is very friendly, and are very easy to talk with (if you want to talk)! My soy latte was okay, and the peppermint mocha wasn't too minty enough. The cafe is vegetarian- and vegan-friendly though!
Great little neighbourhood café. Stopped in for a coffee with my mom on a gorgeous day. The patio wasn't open, but they unlocked it and cleaned off some tables so we could enjoy the unseasonably warm March day. We both ordered cappuccinos and they were very good. I'd visit again, especially given the proximity to home.
Fantastic local cafe! I stop in for their daily hot specials or salads often, the food is fresh and delicious. The owners are friendly and the service is great. Also, I order breakfast and lunch catering from here frequently and it is always met with rave reviews, especially the baked goods and unique sandwiches.

Potential for top café!
This is a place incredibly easy to dismiss but i guarantee you will not regret trying. The decor is wonderful and has a nice concept but still needs more renovation, for some areas look a unfinished thus losing a bit of that wonderful atmosphere. The drinks are great! My tester for cafés is a chai latte, from which you can discern quality of milk and flavouring, they did a fine job. To go along with trying the place for the first time i ordered the mac and cheese which was what an employee (who seemed to be the manager) highly suggested saying it's "good today". He was right! not your average mac although at face value it may seem like it, the taste and seasoning was exquisite. Now the downfall of this place, it's prices. I paid a hefty fee for just two items, the mac and cheese definetley taking the greater percentage of that cost. The drink i would say relative to starbucks was better, but a smidge more expensive. As well the customer service was friendly... A bit too friendly. They worked hard at making it a pleasant stay thus losing the naturalness of creating that good vibe. It seems they are desperate in my opinion, but they have potential so i recommend you go check it out at the very least!
Awesome unique and delicious food. Super friendly personable staff. Great place to go. Fresh ingredients. Would come back any day of the week to enjoy their daily unique specials.
Phenomenal Cafe!. The food and service here is amazing. I work a block away, and myself and my colleagues usually go out for lunch every day. I usually visit velvet around 3 times a week. I've tried everything on the menu, as well as most of the specials, and can honestly say I've never had anything less than fantastic food.
10/10. Fantastic food, very friendly staff! I will be coming here again for sure!
