| - It's weird, but it's so hard to find a coffee shop that's open late downtown.
Kawa, while not directly in the core, is located a few blocks away on the west side and open very late.
I've been here a few times now for different reasons, and while I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination, they serve a great hot chocolate and the decor and environment is very cozy. My only complaint is that it's too small; it needs more space as it always seems packed these days.
But the owner is really nice and that attitude gets passed down to the staff, as the service is really good. Slows down a bit when it's really packed, but that comes with the territory. All of their sodas (which are Coca-Cola products) are glass bottled rather than in plastic or cans, which I find refreshing and traditional; the only other place I know of in Calgary that serves glass bottled Coke products is Wicked Wedge Pizza in Chinook Centre.
All-in-all, I have to say I'm a fan, and when I'm in the area looking for a quiet place to work on the laptop, Kawa is one of my first choices.
