My daughter loves her guitar lessons with David Dallas! She’s learnt so much in a short bit but even more importantly it’s built a passion for her. Really appreciate the music lessons. Thanks guys! Aviana, Mike & Keysha.

Delicious food to take out fresh or frozen entrees, soups, produce. The ginger lemonade and hibiscus tea is a great summer drink and the Mexican hot chocolate is an award winner!! Some of Calgary’s top musicians entertain live in the open air in a festival atmosphere. A hidden gem in Calgary’s SE. Grab some food and go walk Fish Creek Park.

So I went in my backyard and could smell the most amazing mouthwatering aroma.....my neighbour was cooking your house made tandoori chicken wings on her BBQ. I’m proud of myself I didn’t hop the fence. I’ll be coming to your cafe for food!!

KLM focuses on providing value for money. They are also very considerate of personal situations. Customer service is superb. Instructors know how to deal with individual learners and are good at it.

The drink I ordered (the Mexi-Cocoa, Cornerstone's entry for the 2018 YYC Hot Chocolate Festival) was delicious, I was not disappointed and will probably go out of my way to get back here to have another one before the month is out. And the person who served me was really nice, which is such a pleasant thing when you are paying for something, to be treated in a friendly manner.

This super cute coffee shop is AMAZING. Most things are gluten-free and not only do they taste like "regular" but the pricea aren't gluten-free either. Ive been a few times and everything I've eaten has been delish. The Mayan hot chocolate is to die for. Next time I go, it's going to be for the music and dinner. They also have a huge selection of take home meals! The staff is just as wonderful as the food and atmosphere.

Excellent folks at KLM! We love seeing our 10-year-old motivated in his piano lessons. Teachers are encouraging and fun. May try guitar next, however, voice lessons are certainly needed ; ) Thanks so much for this creative outlet for our boy!

I took the rock school program about 10 years ago, and now I am one of the rock school instructors. Watching this rock school grow over the years has been incredible, and it's amazing to see what it has done for some many young musicians. I got my first paying/professional opportunity in the music industry as a result of being a student in this rock school. The owners and staff really care about developing and helping young musicians in any way they can, and further than giving students an excellent learning environment and instruction, they also keep an eye out for opportunities for those involved

Fabulous little cozy place. Really enjoyed the Americano. Didn't try the menu but it was tempting. Skip the Starbucks and Tim Hortons across the street and check out this gem.

Great food and wonderful people. The gluten free selection is terrific, the meals are fantastic and the desserts are delicious.

The atmosphere is very family friendly, with live music on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons.

Cornerstone has a great selection of teas, and their cappuccino is really good.

It is one of my (and my wife's) favorite places to go.

This is a super cute Cafe. The coffee was gorgeous food was only good. I had the gluten free Mac and Cheese, it was a little bland. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free so I am going to go back to try some other items! Kid friendly too which was a huge plus.

A wonderful little oasis away from the world. The salads are delicate and delish. Had a mini nutella cheesecake with my latte and it was tasty! Nice gluten free choices if you wish. And the owner is very personable.

My friend K is obsessed with hot chocolate. Obsessed and picky. She stumbled upon a best place to grab a hot chocolate list (there's even an annual Calgary Hot Chocolate Festival in February that looks worthy of checking out) and Cornerstone's mayan cocoa made the cut as the best. So obviously, we had to check it out.

We came on a slightly dreary Saturday afternoon, excited to warm up and try out their drinks. The place is quaint and has a nostalgic vibe, bringing me back to my piano lesson days. Cool that there's a couple rooms in the back to take piano and drum lessons! They even

A long long time ago Cornerstone was just a music store. Imagine my surprise when I was in the area and saw that it was a cafe as well! I was thrilled. I had a cookie and a chai latte, and believe me, both were superb. The staff was super friendly, and they still offer music lessons.

I recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

I discovered this little coffee shop a couple of years ago when I needed a local hangout serving delicious beans in the south as an alternative to the S-word whenever friends and clients wanted to meet for coffee.

It's still a great place to go for my Americano (which I cannot order without also getting a salted caramel square... OMG!).

It's not a gigantic coffee shop, with just one row of tables along the edge, but the brew is fresh, the food selection oh so tasty and its got free wifi. It's made a fan out of me and so far has left my coffee mates asking, "How did you find

Despite the competition from a close by Starbucks & Tim Hortons, cornerstone produces superb rich coffee & a cool selection of loose leaf teas- their mint concoction is to die for. On top of that Sylvia makes a delicious pan of treats every few days and they are purely divine. Especially the salted toffee bar!

I went to try the hot chocolate which was WINNER of the BEST HOT CHOCOLATE for 2014's Hot Chocolate festival - it was delicious. You can tell they take the time to use real chocolate. The cafe itself it cute and small, but offers music lessons which is a nifty perk. I believe it was the owner I met (Sylvia) who was warm and friendly and also due in 2 days!!!
It was a nice spot, I would go back, they serve food which looks and smells delicious, and you get a perk when you check in!!
