Home Ground Cafe — Restaurant in Alberta

Coffee here is in my opinion the best in town. If someone is dining in you should serve in a mug and not a take out, it's better for the environment and it's a better experience.

Cinnamon buns are excellent and sell out quickly.

There are board games on the shelves if you'd like to have stay longer and play. There isn't a lot of parking in the front, but there is lots of street parking around the corner. There is also a back entrance with bistro tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee and pastries outside in the sun.
