Default Good coffee place for date?

I don't drink very much coffee myself but I have a date coming up who rejected my idea of going to a bar to meet up at a coffee place instead. What is a good coffee place that has a nice intimite atmosphere in Calgary. I'm guessing Kensington has some good places. Suggestions on any names in particular?

I don't have any suggestions as I don't live in the area, but your post put a smile on my face this morning. Have a great date.

Kensington? I once went to The Roastery. That's probably the type of place you're looking for.

Higher Ground or Vendome would be good. The Roasterie I think would be too small and you would be sandwiched between the guy serving coffee and the guy roasting beans. Weeds on 20 Ave NW is good too and they serve beer.

Have fun on your date!

Not sure if you would call it intimate but maybe try one of those "Good Earth Cafes". I've taken a few spanish lessons in one of those shops and its was never busy.

Decent place on sit back and chat if that's what your looking for.

Make the coffees at home and dress up for a nice trail walk. Every date ive been on inside a coffee shop will end up with awkward silence or stluggling to find a topic to talk about. At least if your on a walk you have distractions and observations to make. Good luck on your date

Default Coffee? Nah, go for tea

You want to show her your sensitive side? Then go for tea!

haha

In all seriousness, head down to 17th to STEEPS. The walls are shelved with 100's of types of tea blends so you'll get to know a bit about each other and helps get the convo going. Just expect to pay $5 for a cup of hot water and leaves

Best of luck
