I decided to try out Insomnia Coffee Company because it was one of the cafes listed on the YYC Disloyalty Card and it was located not too far from my work. On first impression, Insomnia has a great downtown location and is located in an absolutely beautiful building and space. Huge loft ceilings, comfy seating, and friendly staff.
They had freshly baked Peanut Butter Cookies and they were Gluten-Free! Incredible! It is pretty rare to come across any sort of GF baked good in the downtown area so I was majorly impressed. The cookie even had a delicious glob of strawberry jam on the top, making it PB&J!
The coffee was great too. I just had a regular Americano and it was perfect -- but that also has to do with the barista because I know he has worked in some of Calgary's top coffee shops already.
All around great place to go for a business meeting or to hang out before hitting the theatre.
