Transcend Coffee

Ethically sourced coffee with roasts that bring out the distinct flavours. Very knowledgeable staff who are friendly and helpful. Fun indoor market vibe with patio seating available on 3 sides of the building (seasonal of course, it's Alberta!) Housemade syrups make the difference in chai, lavender, maple spice, etc drinks - delicious. Highly recommend!

Two strikes from our recent visit: Unreliable outdoor seating and no reusable mugs. 1. I arrived at 8am with a few work friends on our way down 76th thinking that with such beautiful weather we could sit outside. Unfortunately the baristas had not set up the outdoor seating, and even when we expressed interest in it, they still hadn't set it up by the time we left nearly an hour later. Without outdoor seating in the summer, this place loses a lot of appeal. 2. I asked for a ceramic mug for my to-stay drink, but they said they only have paper cups. To me this demonstrates a lack of focus on environmental sustainability, and I wonder what other unsavory and less visible business practices are happening in this shop. I was trying to start a regular bike-to-work coffee stop here with a 6-12 people, but with this first experience I may struggle to get the team on-board for more visits to this location.

Great work place cafe/meat shop/craft beer tasting restaurant... YES they have all of those in place. The beer area usually opens up around late evenings and does busy. Meat shop and coffee cafe are right next to each other and open with according hours. I’ve come here multiple times when I wanted to get work done. They have outlets and plenty of tables for groups or individuals. Staff is nice and menu is reasonably priced. Would recommend you come here if you’re aren’t looking for a super busy coffee shop that you can work in. It isn’t library quiet so best bring headphones.
