Ordered their Zcrew iced coffee, pumpkin spice latte, avocado tartine, egg bacon cheese burger, and waffles. Drinks were 10/10, food was 7/10. Waffles were disappointing and quite hard but the avocado tartine and burger were decent. Ambiance of place is cool but the seating placement is really uncomfortable and not covid friendly. We were sat right next to other people on a “bar” but it was just a thin table on the window. Overall, the coffee is great but I’d just come for drinks to-go.

Friends recommended this place for brunch and glad we gave it a try cus it was so good. Got the matcha pancakes and hojicha latte which were both very yummy! I recommend making a reservation ahead of time since it's usually pretty busy.

Walked in at the last minute! Although it was almost closed, they were still kindly to offer me a warm seat! Thank you! Had Coconut Curry Chicken Rice Bowl, and it was great! The coconut curry was thick and fresh, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was chewy! Delicious indeed. Definitely will come back! Highly recommended!

This is by far the best brunch place in YYC! Trust me I’ve been to ALL of them as I love brunch. The menu has something for everyone from classic breakfast to really creative fusion dishes. The smoothies and coffee bevvies are delicious. Service is excellent. My favorite dish so far are the Dan Dan Noodle Bowl with the Tropical Garden Smoothie and the amazing Sweet Potato Donuts…seriously could eat buckets of these! I’m a regular customer now. Thank you Zack and his crew!

We stopped by for a bite to eat but was told it would be over an hour wait. As we were leaving the hostess snagged us and said a table of 4 were 15 min late for their reservation and if we would wait 5 more minutes we could have the table. We agreed and were seated within 10minutes.
We did street parking a few blocks away.
1 bathroom for the restaurant but didn't ever have problems with any lineups. Clean and respectable.
Staff were friendly and attentive and we our drink order was taken in a timely manner.
My friend said the Nutella latte was great and I thought the portion was quite

We had a lovely time at Zcrew and the food was pretty tasty! But there were some details that were overlooked.

We were told by a friend that this restaurant gets quite busy in the weekend so we booked a reservation. During the reservation I mentioned that I would be bringing my 3 year old daughter. But on the day of, they sat us on bar stools making it quite hard to sit my daughter.

Once we received our orders, the server handed us what looked like the green smoothie I ordered, but she kept saying it was a matcha latte. I told her it wasn't as it is cold and it definitely looked like a

Went for breakfast/brunch on Sunday. The place does take reservations, but we just walked in. It's not the largest space and is clearly a popular spot. It has good vibes inside.

I got the smoked salmon benny with breakfast potatoes and it was really solid and nicely plated. My friend had the matcha pancakes which were also tasty. The coffee / caffeine options are plentiful and the lattes look fancy. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Calgary knows their brunch...This is a beautiful hipster Korean fusion brunch café with a plethora of menu items that cater to all tastebuds and preferences! Service was prompt and the waiters were all extremely kind and helpful. We arrived at around 11AM on a Tuesday and it seemed we had just beat the lunch time rush as when we were leaving, it was extremely busy. The food was fantastic - the matcha pancakes were a ginormous stack of green tea goodness with a gorgeous array of sweet syrup and fresh fruits, the chicken and waffles were a fantastic Korean take on a classic brunch dish (it was a

I love this place! i found this place through yelp and i totally agree with most of the ratings. The cafe itself is quite tiny, but they can fit a good amount of people inside. They also have outdoor seating which is amazing. The silky iced coffee is delicious. My friend had the mango smoothie and she said it was quite good. The food is incredible along with the amazing presentation. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but I would say considering the portion sizes and presentation it's well worth the couple extra dollars. Servers are super nice as well!

This place deserves every 5 star review they've been given. I've been here tons of times and never been disappointed. Great coffee, great food, great service. Their avocado toast is my go-to- but when I'm super hungry the white hat never lets me down.

The food in this place is phenomenal. I ordered the French toast and it so pretty and impressive. It also has many thing going on, from berries, flowers, Boston cream, to the chocolate around it. However, I didn't feel the sweetness was overpowering, somehow all the flavors came together.

My husband ordered the bird nest which is two scotch eggs held by potatoes in the shape of a bird nest. Definitely, they are super creative with their food! Also, it came with a tomatoe sauce which was very yummy. I will be coming back.

The only thing they could improve is they could have spaced their

Oh my goodness, this place is AMAZING! One of the best brunch I have had in a while and at a descent price. I just moved from Toronto and I swear Toronto does not sell this type of fusion food. I love fusion! At Zcrew its a mix of Korean, Chinese, British, and American food blend together. I ordered the Bird's nest which is the Scotch egg on a bed of veggie curry, bread and a potato nest. It was so delicious. My husband had a burger which consisted of an Asian bao for the bread and a sweet potato donut dumplings. So good! I now want to try other things in their menu.

ZCREW cafe blew it out of the park! We loved it so much we went a second time during our visit to Calgary! Presentation was on point and the taste of the food did not fall short. Substance and form!

Good variety of healthy bowls/salads, brunch options (both sweet and savoury) and all the kinds of coffees you could possibly want. The matcha pancakes and the scotch eggs were standouts.

Couldn't let a full year go by since our first visit to ZCREW and not finish my original review! My hubby and I were supposed to return to Calgary this month, but of course, COVID canceled everything. So I figured I would finish a couple of my review drafts from our last trip!

ZCREW is one of those places that checks off a lot of boxes for us: Healthy and delicious plant-based options, great coffee, hip yet welcoming (not pretentious) ambiance, great service...you get the idea! We walked here from our hotel to add in some sightseeing and build up an appetite for what turned out to be a

I visited this place once in Jan 2020 with a coworker and again today with my family. The food never fails to amaze me in taste and presentation. Service is friendly and they even have a small patio. Do note they're only seating at half capacity right now due to Covid but also have a few tables setup on the sidewalk. We started with Americanos which were fruity and light with no after taste. Hubby had a meat pizza, our son had the chicken n waffles and I ordered the bird's nest which are scotch eggs served on a tomato base with arugula and sourdough bread. I cannot wait to return now

I came here because I saw how well reviewed this place was on yelp. I had the birds nest which is a couple of scotch eggs, on a bed of really crispy fried string potatoes, greens and a mixture of tomatoes and beans. It was really good. They used a really good sausage on the scotch eggs and they were done with the yolk still just slightly runny. I also had a latte which was decent as well. They lost a star for being too small, so we were really packed in, and the stools was one of the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in. No back, no place to put your feet. I ended up eating as fast

ZCREW is a cute, cozy little cafe near Victoria Park Stampede C-train station/Cowboys area. They are known for their aesthetically pleasing dishes that you can find across Instagram. I came on a weekday to catch up with a friend and almost all the seats were full, so I can imagine them being very busy on the weekend. There is a big communal table with bar seating, some bar seating around the window areas, a patio and some half booth half chair options.

One thing to note is that their online menu is not as extensive as their in store one (for example, I wanted to get the matcha pancakes and they

Such a cute cafe!! Although there's not that many seats, it's a nice cozy and aesthetic place. Once you enter, you can step to the left to order take out or let someone know you want to sit in. The presentation of the food is one of the best I've seen compared to other cafes.

Chai Latte and Macha Latte: This cafe specializes in cute latte art. From the pictures I've seen online, they have different designs for their latte so you won't ever be bored of one type of design. I liked the Chai latte but the Macha latte lacked strong Macha flavor

Matcha Pancakes: AMAZING presentation
