Lit Espresso - East York

Cute Cafe, rich espresso. Stopped by shortly on a Monday morning for my usual black Americano. The espresso flavour was rich the right blend of bitter and sour tang. The cafe itself is a wonderful work environment, and played relaxing music from Debussy to indie instrumentals. Also a perfect place to create art on its long, large tables. I would definitely come again. It is a well fitting restaurant in the heart of Little Italy.

I had to get a second job to be able to buy a few cups of coffee from here saw lots of chubby girls hanging around but I didnt see too much food so I guess they like the coffee more than I did

Definitely a cool spot and the fact that they serve Stumptown coffee is awesome. Espresso was well prepared and had a rich flavor to it. The cappuccino on the other hand wasn't as good as expected. The pattern was well prepared however the foam wasn't velvety and smooth (had many large bubbles) and the ratio coffee-foam was a bit off, it tasted very strong. Overall an awesome spot, friendly staff, Stumptown coffee...... All reasons to be back very soon.

Lit has an amazing atmosphere, especially if you sit at the bar facing the street. If I didn't live in Calgary, this would definitely be my go-to hangout spot.

This restaurant serves the best coffee in the city. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is very friendly. They roast their own beans and offer a variety of coffee beans from different parts of the world that you can purchase to enjoy at home.
