Alforno Bakery & Cafe

A beautiful spot with great coffee, fresh pastries, and a cozy atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious — especially the brunch dishes and baked goods. It can get busy, but the quality and vibe make it worth it. A perfect place for a relaxed breakfast, a quick pastry run, or a casual meet-up with friends.

Beautiful big bakery &cafe in one corner near downtown!!! Wow so many seatings for any size of group! Gorgeous place inside with plenty of options for desserts and sweets!nnSo I’m trying to love this place as much as I can, but 3 times I was here and 3 times I had some issues. I feel like barista there doesn’t pay attention to details for drinks, I’m getting wrong drink 3 times it’s insane. I understand it’s always busy in there and there’s only 1 lady working on drinks usually, but I’m paying for product I want to get, and 3 times I’m throwing out this drink because it’s not what I wanted….nnDelicious desserts, yes, great! I love atmosphere there as a co-working space, but I don’t think I’ll come one more time just because it’s getting frustrating now to get something you don’t want.nnBeautiful seatings outside as well, and they have just benches for your fur friends to wait near the entrance.nnI gave this place 3 tries and I’m giving up now. I hope this place will meet your expectations and right order of drink!

From the moment we saw it, we were struck by its simple yet stunning design. It fit beautifully with our aesthetic. But the real magic was in the flavor. Every bite was rich, moist, and perfectly balance - mot too sweet, just indulgent enough.nnIf you're looking for a cake that’s both beautiful and unforgettable, Alforno Bakery delivers in every way. Highly recommended!

Affono Café 7th Street, Downtown CalgarynNice spot with really good coffee and cake — perfect for catching up with friends. The place has a trendy vibe, but parking can be tricky, and it’s often hard to find a table inside if you’re just there for coffee or dessert since most of the space is used for meal services. Outdoor seating would be nice if it weren’t so cold — no heaters set up yet. Customer service could be improved; staff seemed quite busy and didn’t appear very welcoming, which made the experience feel a bit rushed.
