Welcome to Café 18g, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Calgary at 216 14 Ave SE, T2G 1Z9. This charming locale is far more than just a stop for your caffeine fix; it’s a warm embrace of flavor, community, and cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger a little longer.

The café has quickly garnered a loyal following, thanks to its thoughtfully curated menu that boasts an array of both food and drink options. The highlight of their menu is undoubtedly the grilled cheese selections, with standout dishes like the Triple Cheese Grill priced at just CA$7.99. Imagine biting into a perfectly toasted sandwich bursting with gooey, rich cheese that melts in your mouth. Alternatively, the Ham + Tomato Grill (CA$8.99) offers a savory twist that pairs beautifully with crispy, buttery bread, while the Smoked Pork Ham Grill (CA$9.99) is a heartier option that will leave you fully satisfied.

As for drinks, Café 18g does not disappoint. The Iced Fresh Minty Kiwi Tea (CA$6.49) is a refreshing revelation, bursting with vibrant flavors that dance on your palate. If you prefer something warm, their Hot Tea (CA$3.49) offers a soothing respite from the chaotic world outside. For those seeking something sweeter, indulge in one of their luscious fruit juices like Mango Juice (CA$6.99) or Pineapple Juice (CA$6.99) – both vibrant and packed with the essence of summer.

The vibe at Café 18g is everything you desire from a local café: intimate, friendly, and impeccably decorated. As one customer, Annamaria, noted, her experience during the café's soft opening was “warm and welcoming,” and the soup of the day – a spicy chicken soup – was praised for its flavor and presentation. That sense of community shines through in every aspect, from interactions with the staff to the ambiance that feels like a comforting hug.

The café attracts a diverse crowd, making it the perfect spot for everything from quiet reading sessions to lively conversations. You’ll find it hard not to feel at home, just as Mary Chris described experiencing an ambiance reminiscent of cozy cafés in South Korea, where time seems to slow down as you savor every bite and sip.

Bring your friends, a book, or even your furry companion, as Rij Sarmiento's delightful anecdote illustrates where not only customers but their dogs are welcomed too, with banana treats offered by the friendly owners.

In a city teeming with choices, Café 18g stands out as a hidden gem, offering exceptionally crafted food and drink in a setting that makes every visit feel special. Don’t just stop by; make it your go-to destination for comfort food and a relaxing atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile. We promise you won’t be disappointed!

I came here for the first time and found out that this cafe had just opened, and they were doing a soft opening for their menu. And I have to say, it was a very warm and welcoming experience. We ordered the soup of the day which was the “spicy chicken soup”, blueberry lavender lemon drink and a turkey sandwich. The taste and presentation was excellent. The soup was also very flavourful and is a great choice if you feel for comfort food. The owners are very friendly. They keep the overall cafe quite tidy, service is quick and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. I look forward to the further improvements they will have once they have the full menu.

I had an amazing experience at this cozy cafe! The iced caramel macchiato was perfectly balanced, smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. Also tried their flat white, and it was so creamy and delicious, a true standout. But the highlight of my visit was the croffle! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect pairing with my coffee. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is friendly, and everything was served with a smile. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

This place is a lovely mom and pop shop!!! I'm currently obsessed with their egg salad I tried their crab salad sandwich today and it was equally delicious!!! I cannot wait to try their other stuff next time!

Hidden little gem that we found in our neighborhood. We had the croffle and the iced latte and they were both delicious for reasonable prices. The place is very warm and cozy. The owners were also very nice. They even gave our dog a banana treat. Would definitely recommend, especially to any dog owners out there!

The ambience feels like I'm in South Korea, warm and cozy. We spent almost 2hrs here just reading a book. Had our snacks and dinner. The food was so good, I never tried a London fog before it was so good! The owners were so nice and friendly.

The food and coffee were both top quality, and their croffles are a must-try! I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi, which made it a perfect spot to relax and catch up on a few things while enjoying my coffee. Highly recommend this café to anyone looking for great food, excellent coffee, and a warm, inviting vibe.
