I went here as part of our sampling of hot chocolate, for the 2025 YYC hot chocolate festival. It seemed a nice place at first glance, and not much of a wait time. After ordering, and declining the tip (since I was ordering takeout), I waited for the order to be complete. Somehow, people who ordered after me got their drinks (also hot chocolates) while I was told that they're working on mine. Once I got it, it didn't even look much like their advertised photo, or like the hot chocolates they had made earlier. This barely had any toppings. It seems very unprofessional to serve such subpar food, just because I declined to tip. I've already paid for my food, and I would expect to get what I paid for, and not have it delayed in favor of other customers. The only reason I'm not giving this 1 star is because the hot chocolate was decent.

Visited on Thu afternoon for quick snack and coffee. It is small but nice atmosphere! I’m a fan of Kensington location, this one is much smaller and not the same vibe, but it is located in a lot more quiet neighborhood and I like the atmosphere here. I have ice americano and breakfast bagle. Americano was good but not very smooth, it tasted like either the beans were over roasted or old espresso was not properly cleaned based on my experience as barista. Breakfast bagle was also nice but mostly tomato, not very savory or cheesy. Staff were friendly and polite, atmosphere was quiet and good place for work, study, coffee date. They have dog friendly patio and board games for you to have fun!

I went to the coffee shop on a rainy day🌧 I was greeted by smiling staff, took my order and made me the perfect cappuccino to go👍👍 Very nice interior, lots of space, different types of chairs and tables. There is a summer playground, a toilet, highchairs for feeding. Huge selection of drinks and snacks. Lovely graffiti😻 I think this is the perfect place for breakfast with a friend!

very disappointing visit today i ordered a hot bannana drink which was good but sisters experience was terrible first we ordered a everything breakfast bagel when it came it had like undercooked bacon and no egg like the egg is the main part of the breakfast bagel we return it and tell them abouy the issue they go back and say they will add egg. We also told them plz add garlic aioli as there was none added the girl at front says she knows ( how would she know ) shell add it. Next comes up the hot chocolate my sister order comes cold we tell them they say well fix it and we see the girl just putting choclate milk in a cup and warming it up .. if i wanted that i couldve done it at home. Then comes back the bagel dry no garlic aioli but they added egg and then we realize the bagels not a everything bagel either im so annoyed $27 spent for a garbage experience guys pay attention to your order and we just didnt want to keep complaining and we juat left threw out the bagel and...

I've always enjoyed this coffee shop and found it a nice atmosphere and hangout. With seating limited just now and more people studying it's become understandably very hard to get a table. I had a humiliating experience recently when there was nowhere to sit except the table for 4. The male server told me, loud and clear for everyone to hear, that if I sit there he'll "have to kick me out" if a larger party arrives. I've been there several times since then and it's been the same server and on each visit I noticed 2 people sat at the table for 4 and he didn't tell them they'd be kicked out if a larger party arrived. I notice on all the visits one of the female servers was occupying one of the open tables so it doesn't appear customer seating is a concern. The staff are usually really nice there and the customer service is great and this person is...

Had an unpleasant experience at Higher Ground tonight. The drinks that all 5 of us were received were at least half foam. We had to scoop a lot of it out & we were left with half drinks. It seemed that there was only one person working, not sure she knew how to make all the drinks.

It was also uncomfortable as there was cold air shooting out of the vents by our table. It’s +2 outside with a wind storm.

The thing that was the most upsetting was the fact I had nowhere to change my baby. The washrooms are not equipped with change tables. The only place I would have been able to change my baby was on top of a table & I’m sure the other customers would not have appreciated that.

UPDATE: two & a half months after the owner replied saying they are working on change tables we decided to give it another chance. Still no change tables. Very...
