Euphoria Cafe

Used to be a fantastic and unique place to sit and work for a morning. But there seems to be a change in management. Seating is now uncomfortable and odd (like a fast food restaurant). Also, the quality of coffee has really decreased. It used to be a place to get great lattes but now espresso tastes watered down and they’re using cheap soy for soy lattes. So my impression of what’s happened since my last review: it’s devolved from a great unique coffee shop to that community place where you can get OK coffee (same level as the Second Cup at Crowfoot).

This is my favourite café in all of Calgary. My husband and I come here for coffee, wraps and desserts at least once a week on the weekends. I’m a huge fan of the chicken philly wrap on gf wrap, a coconut caramel latte, and a power ball to finish it all off. Their waffles are delightful! Really great menu with lots of vegetarian, gluten-​free and sugar-​free options. The owner is really sweet and gentle and he clearly works hard!

Three words: waffles, waffles, waffles.
Euphoria has amazing cappuccinos, and even better (you guessed it) WAFFLES! Because who doesn’t love a little something sweet for breakfast, right? ;)
With organic, fair trade, and decently priced coffee, this cozy little gem lies conveniently off of Dalhousie’s LRT station. It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Phenomenal service. Friendly, coffee house atmosphere. The Mexican mocha… delectable!

Great little coffee shop in the Varsity! Not the usual place for a coffee shop being so far from the usual spots such as 17^th ave. The interior of Euphoria is very simple and cozy which suits its purpose. The hedge hog was sweet and very different from anything I’ve tasted in Calgary. Overall, great place for drinks and any occasion. Happy munching!

Have been coming for years. Coffee is great, menu is extensive for such a small place, and the atmosphere is nice. The only impimprovement I could suggest is to the owner– it would be great to have a bit of recognition or chit chat with some of your regulars. Still a very nice guy and I highly recommend this place.

Once again, thanks to my fellow Unilocalers, I was introduced to a new place to check out. Europhia Café is close to my neighbourhood, and as someone else said in a review, it is in a place where you would not expect to find a café like this.
Walk in the door and the décor and vibe is great! Very cozy, trendy, welcoming environment. I have been there a few times now, and a few I mean 8 according to my coffee punch card! Only 2 more till a free one! It doesn’t matter what time I am there, weekdays or weekends it is busy. The coffee is incredible, the best I have has in Calgary by far. The drip coffee is very nice, and they have a very nice list of specialty drinks. The Mexican Mocha and the Hedgehog Macchiato are both delicious.
I want to try their breakfast menu soon. Fun looking menu for sure. I might head there and get my 9^th card stamp now. Check out Euphoria Café if you are in the NW. It is worth the visit.

Euphoria Café is the perfect go-​to spot in the Varsity neighborhood for meeting with friends for coffee and dessert. It’s also a wonderful spot to do work! The wifi is quick, it’s usually pretty quiet, and there are lots of different seats to sit at –inside, outside, at a table, on a couch. you get the point =)
They have a wide selection of drinks (ie. coffee, smoothies, lattes) and food items (paninis, waffles, pastries, gelato and more). I’d recommend trying one of their waffles if you want a tasty, filling, snack. They are pretty reasonably priced and are warm, fluffy, and delicious!

super cute place! lots of room to
sit & sip without feeling rushed.
was visiting my mom in the suburbs and decided to stop in for my first Bulletproof coffee — delicious! Each sip is like a built-​in-​buttery lip gloss.
3 out of 4 of the staff were grumps, but the one that was friendly was REALLY friendly, so it kinda evens out…

So this is a real honest review, from a very picky person. Service was okay gave me a good suggestion for a sweeter Maple London Fog! Panini’s were good my hubby absolutely loved his San Andreas Steak Melt. Sat outside, it is okay being in a Plaza limited seating outside, plenty inside. Bring friends or by yourself with a lap top or book great environment going to try waffle now.

This Cafè is a real gem in the Calgary NW. It has a very authentic Café feel, which is hard to find with franchise café’s popping up everywhere. Coffee is good and the WIFI is fast. Food is also good here. Would definitely recommended a visit!

Not the best visit. The sandwiches took forever to make, even though there was no one in front of us. The wrap was rolled wrong, which left all the chicken on one half and all the veggies on the other. The latte didn’t taste quite right. The tables were dirty despite there being plenty of idle staff.
We’ve been here several times and have had better service/​food/​drinks in the past, so I’m sure we’ll try it again, but this visit was a disappointment.

Super awesome café, all coffee organic and very well priced. Goes every other day since it’s right across from my house. Have not tried the food, but looks delicious. I really want to know where their cheese-​bagel-​croissant is from, it’s one of the best bagels I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, staff, and has a positive energy.

Fantastic! I frequent this coffee shop. Great service, great people, great food and beverage. Whenever your in Varsity pay them a visit. It will be your local coffee shop.

If you are in the area, instead of wasting your money on a coffee in a franchise, try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.
We tried the sandwiches as well, quite delicious!

This place is gaining more of a following each day. Quaint size and recently renovated a great place for locals to gather. Customers of all ages frequent. Nice selection of coffee, teas, and smoothies. There are seasonal flavours available for the frappé and lattes. Enjoy the tasty and heathy wrap or panini. Gluten free and paleo selection on the menu as well. Fine young friendly group of staff to serve.

Love this place! It is totally off the beaten path, but solid coffee, good food (I love the waffles) and reasonable prices. They have wifi, and don’t seem to mind people chillin for a few hours as long as they aren’t slammed busy.
Super friendly too.

A quick stop on our way out of town and a desire to taste some of the hot chocolate in the YYC Hot Chocolate Fest… brought us to this outstanding little café. From the moment I walked in, I was smitten.
Quaint, full of charm, and a place I would come back to again and again just to hang out for coffee and chat with friends.
Of the 4 hot cocoa options on the menu for hot chocolate fest and we ordered 2. Service was outstanding, both drinks tasty but my favourite was the Mad Mayan Hot Chocolate. Also grabbed a few cookies for the littles. Good times.

Euphoria Café is a great little café where you wouldn’t expect a great little café and that’s just where I want a great little café to be!
Kensington is excellent, Mission is great, 17^th has slues of them. but what do you do when you need a great little indie owned coffee shop outside of the inner city hoods? Euphoria Café, that’s what.
It’s a cool, trendy looking space and a great place to meet with friends, business meetings, on a date, or any time in life where a quality cup of joe is in order.
They do all the basics and they’re not afraid to get creative with the flavour!
I met with a fellow Unilocaler and she told me all about their award winning Peanut Butter Chocolate Latte. You heard. I was blown away by her knowledge of the little local establishment and she waved me in the way of the sign on the board. Smart signage, Euphoria, you sold me. I’ll get it!
Peanut Butter, Chocolate, and Espresso. Those are three of my favourite things ever. If you mix them together the outcome has to be exactly 3x as good as each of the individual ingredients, right? Wrong! It’s BETTER. Euphoria manages to harness the synergistic qualities that peanut butter has with chocolate and that chocolate has with espresso and use it to create something special and magical. I loved how all of the flavours worked in harmony instead of dominating my mug. That is, until I got to the bottom… Holy chocolate peanut butter explosion! Simple solution… If you get this drink. Mix it. :)

This was my first visit to Euphoria Café and I will definitely be back. I arrived around 9am and stayed until just after noon. The atmosphere is warm and cozy with an earthy color palette, so I felt right at home getting some work done.
The selection in the display case was fantastic! Freshly baked goodies (with some gluten-​free options), wraps and sandwiches, pastries, and some very fresh looking baklava… impressive. I enjoyed a couple of drinks and some delicious Umpaqua Oats oatmeal (the «R U Nutz?» variety). What was really stunning was the delicious aroma of their freshly made waffles. That’s what really made it feel like working from home (there’s always something good baking in my kitchen!).
Mornings have a lot of coffee-​to-​go traffic, and they certainly have a good crowd for lunch as well. I highly recommend this place, regardless of whether you’re passing through the Dalhousie area or need a place to park yourself for a few hours.
