Rosso Coffee Roasters - 17th Ave — Restaurant in Calgary

This is a great cafe if you wanted to be in the heart of the city but slightly out of the way of the usual morning crowd.

I’m sure they definitely have their rush hour moments here, but I’ve been lucky enough each time to always do during moderate traffic. This means there’s always a place to sit, and I’ve never waited all that long for service.

The baristas are very friendly at this spot. Maybe the friendliest in town? I don’t know. Everyone I’ve gone in there’s such a bubbly vibe here and everyone seems to genuinely enjoy working here.

I just noticed on my last visit that they have an outdoor patio, which is fantastic. The streets aren’t all that noisy in this area so it would be. Nice relaxing space to sit and chat, or work.

Oh and the coffee! Haha. I always get a cappuccino. It’s been perfect every...

Cozy. Amazing Staff. Clean. Tasty cafe!

Came here with my girlfriend to get some work done. Came in about an hour or so before closing (always feel bad about) but we knew it shouldn’t take too long. Parking was a little tough though. The barista that served us and was kind from start to finish. Made both drinks quick and pretty!

Been to other Rossos and honestly wasn’t expecting much. But this place deserves the recognition.

Ordered a Sweet Latte Hot and a Pumpkin Spice cold. The Sweet Latte had the original flavour you love with that undertone tang! Just enough sweetness. The Pumpkin Spice had that deep flavour and a big and rich coffee flavour. Had a touch of cinnamon and more rich and coffee like compared to a pumpkin pie.

Overall this place was awesome and blown us away with service, place and...

My wife and I really enjoyed Rosso. The service was good, the coffee was very well done, easily on par with Phil and Sebastian’s. Nice seating arrangements. Lots of coffee shops nowadays are moving towards serving craft beer and wine, which Rosso does here. This is a nifty switch, however the trade off comes at the expense of cozy/nostalgic. Rosso is hip, urban, cool, and the music inside makes it feel as such, and I would go there if I was in the mood for that kind of atmosphere. If i wanted to study, I would take my books and computer to Phil and Sebastian’s in the Simmons building with its more cozy feel/lighting. All depends on the mood you are in I suppose. But Rosso met all our expectations. Delightful pour...
