Analog has great coffee--this is something we all know as this shop gains popularity here on Yelp. Some of their options can be a little intimidating, and the line moves quick. So you may be tempted to order an old standby (the panic Americano, for example). But I do encourage you to ask questions. Analog's staff is probably one of their highlights. Friendly, courteous, informative, and also... more

My friend, Steven N., calls it hipster (and I guess it is though my version of hipster is likened to the J.J. Bean chain in Vancouver which he probably knows about since he is from Vancouver). Even with all its alleged hipsterness, it's still an old school coffee shop to me. It's the decor that reminds me of a couple of places I went to in Amsterdam and Brussels. See Rebecca C.'s and Ryan... more

Great coffee, I purchase my beans here. Friendly service, great cinnamon bun, and pastries but not much breakfast options. I love to sit outside and work on my laptop on nice days, but traffic is noisy, and if you can't concentrate with music playing best stay inside!!

My favorite coffee joint.

Excellent coffee paired with excellent service. The workers are always happy and always making friendly conversation. I agree with everyone else who says that this joint has the best coffee in the city, which is obviously why it is always so packed!

I like my coffee, and was told by more than one person that this was some of the best coffee in Calgary! When someone makes that claim, you gotta try it for yourself!

Line up was quite long and the store was filled to brim, but the staff worked very diligently and got orders out quite quickly. Decided to go for an Iced Latte, which was quite good!

My favourite thing would probably be the... more

After my last review of Analog, I had chatted with the owner. His concern and effort to understand my review made me decide to give this cafe one more chance. I will say there was a complete change of opinion. Today I ordered a half sweet mocha, I was greeted by a happy young woman who took my order. There was a bit of a line up and she moved it a long quite well. The drink I ordered... more

Analog, I serious love you. Now if you weren't stupidly busy every single time I walk in the door; I would love you even more.

My girlfriend and I decided to get off our suburban butts and headed to the core to try something new. It was my first time here so I cannot really give a full review.

I got an iced Chai tea while she got an iced latte. I'll be honest that this is the first time I've ever tried an iced chai tea. It was not bad but it did taste a little too sweet for me. It also had a weird after taste, it's... more

Love this place. Used to work close by and went everyday... Now I have withdrawals :)

A busy, hopping place to be on a Saturday. The interior is trendy and filled with a variety of people and ages. I loved seeing the Starbucks just across the street totally empty, as coffee drinkers become more discerning.
I had a chai latte and it was very flavorful and rich. The service is good, they have a lot of people working to keep up with the busy traffic of people. On a beautiful... more

Second time here and its confirmed, I love it. Service this morning was fantastic. Granted you order at the counter but the fellow who took my order and manned the til was awake, smiling and and made very a very pleasant transaction. This is not always the case at coffee bars and is often commented on (at other establishments of course) No superior barrista attitude here, just a group of folks... more

This is the best coffee I've had in this city so far. So flavourful! I have ordered a cappuccino, a mocha, and a latte. They source their beans from various countries and the barista said they even have a roaster here in Calgary.

I'm taking a star off due to them not having honey available for their tea. I understand that honey is a lot more expensive now due to the bees disappearing, but if... more

I love their coffee! Whenever friends come to visit me this is the first place I take them for their morning caffeine fix. The only downside is there isn't much seating inside. This is never an issue for me, but if you're looking for a place with guaranteed seating this may not be your best bet (unless you're okay with waiting a bit for a table to become available).

Best cafe and coffee in Calgary.

Love the atmosphere! Best latte you'll ever have.

Amazing place, amazing café, great hangout place. Just loved it. You can enjoy a very romantic rainy day, snowed morning or sunny afternoon here and feel like you're living in a beautiful friendly magical world. Staff are very nice and friendly.

coffee is probobly the best (next to timmys) in town. The patterns in the mocha's are great! The only problem is the sandwitches are all pre-made early in the morning. So im still putting Vendome a star above this as they do make the sandwitches hot to order.

What an amazing eclectic atmosphere, this is where to impress on a first date, and show your creativity instead of the boring Starbucks down the block.

Great corner location with lots of light, and free wifi.

Came in to check out some munchies while waiting for the burg next door at Clive's, and ended up with the lemon tart, which wasn't earth shattering, as to be expected compared to a... more

During the 3 days I recently spent in Calgary, I probably spent a total of a full day here. I finished reading 1.5 books in this cafe. I adore this place.
Not only is the space a really comfortable atmosphere, but the baristas are passionate about their work and that shines through in tasting the coffee. Fratello makes amazing coffee, and it's great to support local Albertan roasters! The... more

Great coffee joint! They also make really tasty sandwiches and baked goods! A bit on the pricey side. Overall great place to grab a coffee or tea and sit outside and relax!

Drip coffee here is very good.
Above average!! However, the downside is that they are slow and expensive.

I would visit when I have time to relax and enjoy my coffee; Not when I'm rushed.

A friend recommended Analog as the perfect place for a good cup of coffee and free WiFi to get some work done while visiting Calgary. I was really thrilled with everything - the vibe, the choice of music, the staff, the ample seating, and of course, the amazing coffee.

These guys are clearly really obsessed with what they do, so it's easy to appreciate the high standards they present. I spent... more

AmaZing coffee in a beautiful setting. Love how the vintage signs are hanging inside!

Good little coffee shop near downtown Calgary. They have a nice selection of beans (I had an espresso from Guatemalan beans, which are my favorite), good seating, and free wifi. The bathroom is also very clean.

Not a bad place. Coffee was a little weak and the place is a little pricey but that seems to keep out the screaming baby trailer park and immigrant crowd. Volume is tolerable and you can get decent work done here. Parking is a bear except on Sundays. Parking is the only major negative. Staff is relatively friendly but the place was so crowded, people were doing the breast stroke

Finally was able to try this one Tuesday night. The coffee is great and the mochas are amazing. I love the decor and the vibe of this place - I'll be coming back here to study for school in the future. There was also a nice selection of baking which I will definitely be trying one day. Analog also offers great people watching.

I finally got to try the Calgary coffeeshop everyone raves about when I met my business partner here early Saturday morning for a weekend work meeting. We had delicious lattes on their tiny patio chairs and it felt exactly as a coffeeshop should. This place is BUSY so best to grab your goods to go unless you're early like we were. I've tried to visit Analog before as a study spot to catch up on... more

I always love coming here on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere is vibrant and the people watching is great. You can't go wrong with fratello coffee either! Try a sandwich-they get them from local joints all around the city and it changes all the time.

Cool place to hang out! Great atmosphere tea and service. I would recommend this place to all my friends!

Thought we'd pop into this place since there was quite a crowd inside and out. Must be good coffee! Service was good considering the number of people waiting. The coffee was unfortunately poor according to our tastes as people who drink black or with a touch of heavy cream. The beans in the grinder are light and dry as opposed to rich, dark and oily. Never mind that...the saddest thing of all... more

Great coffee and pretty good service. The place is well laid out and decorated in a very retro modern way. It's usually fairly busy and so if you're looking for a quiet place to chat with someone for a meeting then I'd go somewhere else. It's mainly a place to be seen at the moment.

Analog is one of my fav coffee spots in town, packing one of the best cappuccinos around! I enjoy fratello coffee! And the service isn't ever to bad. There's usually a decent line up... And I mean that as a compliment! Whether it's fratello coffee in the Calgary framers markets or analog on 17th.. You're always in store for a good sip.

They serve Fratello Coffee here. Excellent espresso, decent lattes, and one of the best mochas I've had in Calgary. Whenever I am in the area. I find it hard to not stop by for a decent cup of coffee.

Good coffee (brewed on the V60) in a very spacious and modern space. Staff is nice and knowledgeable.

I go here almost every work day. Best drip coffee hands down. And the coffee beans to buy are also excellent-expensive but if you keep your eyes peeled they get marked down two for one- worth buying a few bags for home!
I also have tried some baking and a latte or two also the best you will find in one place.

I'm normally a coffee drinker but I went in here with a tea drinking friend and thought, why not. It was busy for later in the evening and the staff weren't overly friendly. Maybe they were tired. It was clear I had never been there before and they did nothing to explain their options - whether it be tea or coffee.

I ended up with a version of green tea. While its nice they take the time to... more

Friendly staff, as we barged in just before closing...no hesitation in servicing us or telling us they are closing. I just noticed the closing time on the door.
Free wifi and good options for both tea and coffee in a trendy, hipster kinda room.
I like! Would go back!

I visited for the first time yesterday. I really like the bright atmosphere, decor and overall vibe of the place, but I wouldn't purposefully return here again.

Parking is a gong show, as it is for most places on 17th Ave. The mocha I ordered was only just warm and wasn't overly flavorful. The baked goods in the cabinet looked edible enough but were way to big for my appetite, so I didn't... more

Consistently Killing it !! The extra shot in my latte makes a golden brown residue that clings to the walls of my cup all the way to the bottom until the very last sip. Bunch of professionals pulling shots here. I watch people go to $tarbuck$ across the street and often wonder what the hell they are thinking ?!??! They are steps away from delicious goodness and choose middle of the... more

This was my first experience at Analog. I only came here because I saw the great reviews on Yelp, and now I understand why everyone loves this place.

The full-leaf tea selection here was really impressive. I chose the Cream of Assam today and was very happy with my choice. While sitting at the window bar-top, I was able to get a substantial amount of work done while watching the world go by. I... more

What a place; from the spinning records, to the amazing location, Analog is a cafe I see myself frequenting. The selection is your essential coffee drink varieties, but their baked goodies and sammies looked pretty scrumptious. There were some lone hottie patrons on their laptops, old friends catching up, and trendy couples, mostly, who occupied the space.The whole vibe was very relaxed,... more

This is totally a hipster coffee place ... but I like it.

Coming from a city where a great brew of coffee is revered, I'm happy to see that Analog has stepped up to the plate in Calgary.

It's a bit on the pricey end, but Analog is a great addition to the 17th ave corridor.

Will be back.

With Chiasso gone from the area (the landlord terminated their lease--funny that it is correctly marked as closed on Yelp but not on Chiasso's own website), there was a need for a great coffee shop in the area (some might say Caffe Beano, but I'm not a fan of their service). We went in yesterday afternoon and ordered a vanilla latte and a caramel latte. Although mine (caramel) was a bit too... more

Any visit to Calgary MUST include a stop at this amazing coffee shop. Take time to sit and enjoy the atmosphere in this lovely, sunny, comfortable location. The latte's are consistently amazing and the treats are truly top notch. Also, the staff is ALWAYS kind and friendly, something unusual for Calgary coffee shops.

I would highly recommend this spot.

I'm in love with Analog. It's such a quaint coffee shop on 17th, I could spend many hours here enjoying a cup of Joe. They have great drinks and the pastries are pretty good as well. The staff are friendly and I would have to say my favorite part was the the pour-over system they are famous for. I loved watching them make the coffee, it was a really neat experience. Making coffee this way just... more

* Great espresso *

This is a nice bright space that has the feel of a suburban cafe trying to be inner city hip. It is popular with the laptop camping crowd that staked out their tables with empty coffee cups, glaring laptop screens, and headphones to block out the sighs of people with coffee waiting for tables.

That said, the service was very friendly, and the espresso was the best one I had... more

I'm a really big fan of Analog. The space is bright, it's clean: a nice reflection of the coffee there.

After enjoying Fratello at a number of places around town including their pop-up location at the Calgary Farmers' Market it's nice to have a dedicated spot for it on 17th, it's a little more accessible.

The big long benches are beautiful and I also really like how they've kept the old sign... more
