This Calgary Cafe Serves Dreamy Brunches & Doubles Up As A Plant Shop

It’s the real millennial dream.

If you’ve ever found yourself wanting to take home your favourite restaurant's decor, Calgary’s latest brunch spot is perfect for you.

Maven is the ultimate destination for brunch, coffee, cocktails and also doubles up as a plant shop.

From the team behind other popular brunch spots Brekkie and Sammie, the cozy spot on 17 Ave. S.W. offers an impressive range of brunch dishes both on the sweet and savoury sides.

The kaya french toast with coconut pandan jam, fresh fruit and a poached egg is a must-try. There’s also candied bacon eggs benedict and Lanzhao braised beef cheeks.

Maven’s chef Michelle Lee Hobbs has even included her own “food story” with menu items inspired by her own life experiences. Dishes include Christmas pasta with turkey ragout and cranberry sauce, to German pork schnitzel with mustard dill suede and pickled red cabbage.

The cocktails served have been developed by Calgary cocktail bar Milk Tiger because who doesn’t love a good brunch cocktail.

The other side of the site includes a cafe and adorable Plant It Modern shop so if you were eyeing up any of the plants, there’s the perfect opportunity to take one home with you.
