| - Haha, man, everytime I go on one of these review maniac writing things (like I write 3 in a row, and I'm taxed), I realize how overly pedestrian my taste is. I go to the same places as the rest of you yuppies. That includes the Purple Perk which is the place every young chick with a fancy tattoo or an elderly couple coasting in from a fun scooter ride go for a cup of ho-hum coffee, and below average service.
As far as cafes go, it's a decent place. Lots of space, free wi-fi, decent menu, and a good custard flan. But as far as the excellent cafe scene in Calgary goes, Purple Perk is below average. If you're on 4th St., you do have limited options, as I think there is just a Starbucks, Good Earth (or Second Cup), and that terribly overpriced Italian bistro that I can never remember the name of.
Go here if you need something silly that you can only buy on 4th St., like organic bath salts or laser eye surgery. Or if you live here, I guess.
Oh yeah, and I just want to add that Gabe A. is right. I never use free wifi, and I actually don't see it as a plus. I know you kids that work in cafes like it, but I don't.
