Café Jindo — Restaurant in Calgary

I absolutely LOVE Jindo.

I have been to SO many cafes all across Calgary, and I have yet to find any place even close to Jindo's creativity, fusion, and unique food/drinks.

There is so much flavour to be explored across all cultures and many cafes in Calgary remain very euro-centric and western. Jindo infuses Korean flavours into classic foods/drinks we love.

The owner is incredibly passionate and it really shows through the abundance in their products. Many places are incredibly stingy with their food/drinks, but Jindo values generosity.

For example the Kimchi Reuben Sandwich (grilled) and yuzu (?), rosemary yakult refresher.

It's my all-time favourite sandwich and I come back for it all the time. I substitute the pastrami for chicken, but either way it's amazing.

TIP YOUR BARISTAS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE COOL LIKE THE PPL...

Fantastic coffee, great options for milk substitutes (The macadamia nut milk is wild. Would recommend.) and some very fun food options.

I walked in to Jindo today to grab some breakfast and a drink, and walked into the very unfortunate situation of a medical emergency. Details are unimportant, but when I arrived, the owner of the Cafe (Daniel, I believe?) was on the phone calling for emergency services, and was doing what he could to keep things going smoothly. EMS/Fire arrived. resolved the situation, and everything ended well enough.

I just wanted to mention how well I believe the staff at Jindo handled the situation they were thrust into. In addition to the fantastic food and drinks offered here, this really solidifies the quality of people who are employed here and are running the business. I would give more than 5...
