Thanks for the suggestion Yelp! The hotel I was staying at had a Starbucks in it and I really wanted to try out something new while I was in Calgary. Rosso was top billing for cafes within walking distance so off I went. When I got inside I headed straight for the pastry display, even though their selection of breakfast sandwiches looked amazing. As I was looking at the scones debating what deliciousness I would be consuming for breakfast Call Me Maybe, the summertime hit of 2012 came on and totally threw me off. For being a trendy/hipster cafe in DT Calgary I was not expecting that first thing in the morning.
It seemed like the staff at Rosso agreed because all at once everyone behind the bar was just yelling "NO! NOO" and then the music immediately changed to Paul Simon then to Prince and then to Mungo James.
I appreciated that they realized the horror of what came over the speakers and rectified it with more appropriate music.
If ambience is what you care about, Rosso has got you covered. The coffee and scone were really good too!
