Higher Ground

“food, coffee, and atmosphere are all amazing and super cozy here.”

Linda Ho★★★★

Higher Ground Café is a true staple in Kensington. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it such an easy place to settle in and enjoy your time. It’s genuinely one of Calgary’s hidden gems. Their open mic nights are hands-down the best time to visit — an amazing way to discover local artists and feel connected to the community. Always great vibes, great people, and great coffee. ☕🎶

Haven't been here since I was dating (long time ago!) and it's nice to see that the vibe hasn't changed. Good food, great coffee (and epic hot chocolate), and friendly staff in a comfortable spot to sit down with a book or a friend. Please never change.

Matcha lovers beware, this is green coloured milk and not worth your money!!!! Service is amazing, food is okay, coffee is good. Nothing particularly stands out.

We love to support higher grounds as a staple in the Kensington community and we’ve been coming here for years, but I’d be a miss to not mention that although they do accommodate with some dessert items available for gluten-free and dairy-free, but they have nothing savoury available for a breakfast. If you have allergens, it’s dessert or nothing. So we give our breakfast Money to Red’s up the road, but we’d love if they expanded their menu.
