Purple Perk Coffee Market - Calgary

My new favorite is the Date Squares,  I stop by once or twice a week on my way home to grab one for dessert<br/ I enjoy the food here and the coffee with friends in a morning meeting or just a visit. I often stop and buy a dessert on the way home in the evening. The Date square and apple pie are fantastic, very old school.<br/ <br/  The cheesecake is good, but a bit heavy. . . again very old school. If you can find a spot on the patio its great people watching and they do have the capucino down pat. Very good.<br/ <br/ I often stop by on my to work to grab a pastry for the office.

Fantastic coffee and baking. The espresso brownies are to die for, as they are extremely sweet and moist. I would definitely recommend bringing a friend to help you eat the treats though, as they can be overwhelmingly sweet. Overall a very cute cafe, would highly recommend.

Nothing special. We had London fog and two deserts. London fog has vanilla flavor, I think it has sugar already. Deserts are ok. Outside patio was nice for people watching haha.

Purple Perk delivers decent diner food for a reasonable price. Got the Voodoo Burger which came with a lightly toasted bun, piles of melted Swiss cheese, blue cheese, and bacon. If there had been a little more blue cheese this burger would have kicked ass. Fries were great. I dig the tradeoff of a little self service for reasonable prices.

I love a neighbourhood coffee shop with a little character and sass! This place has great coffee (best soy Americano misto), plenty of interior seating, and a cute outdoor patio. Any of the sandwiches I've tried have been really good, and I love anywhere that has hot sauce readily accessible. The accompanying house chips are tasty too! <br/ <br/ Only lost a point because although the bathroom seemed quite clean, there was a pretty strong pee smell.
