  • #118 It is really hard to expound on what has already been said but my almost weekly trips to Higher Ground have been going on for over two years. That, in itself, must say something more? I cannot find any negatives but maybe one complaint which I will touch upon later, except that I have to share with others (I was never good at sharing). Did I mention this was my first coffee shop in Calgary for me when I moved here? Maybe, it's the sentimental side of me but after trying the hot chocolate which I love having while sitting by the fireplace, it was like being at Grandma's for a holiday gathering (no matter how many friends are with you, everyone is still a stranger). However, I did stray as I later fall in love with the Great Divide under Specialty Coffee (Raspberry, Hot Chocolate, Espresso, and something else) though lately, it's been the Hot Chocolate solo. There are couches and tables with chairs. It's a great place to study, read a book, cruise the information superhighway on the free wifi, and catch up with old friends. It is open until 11pm or later everyday though if I am being honest, love to see it open until after the neighbourhood pubs (Kensington Pub, The Yardhouse Restaurant) close. Always nice to close out a night of drinking with a nice mocha, hot chocolate, and a snack. Now, about the snacks, yummy goodness for a limited time (they almost always sell out). Which leads me to my only complaint which others have already touched upon, it is busy most of the time so if there is two or more of you and yours, you may have to sit outside slightly west of the front door (weather permitting of course). Always busy full of hipsters, hipster wannabes, students, student wannabes and the like, but you can almost always meet someone whom has an open chair to share. This, in itself, makes up for the crowdiness (and let's be honest, would I go if it was not busy? No, hard to people watch with no people). You could say it is the Analog Coffee 17th Ave of Kensington (except that 17th Ave never goes through Kensington) or you could say the Higher Ground is the Analog Coffee 17th Ave of the 17th Avenue area (The Red Mile, Uptown at 17th, just pick one.. *giggle*) but alas there is no Kensington there. I could say more but apparently, you are not supposed to review and drive on the way to a Higher Ground experience.
