This is probably my new favorite go-to in Calgary and while I appreciate its quiet ambiance, I would also love to see more customers inside. \n\nSaVeg is a vegan cafe/restaurant that opened its doors in January. Its owner, Rose Lee of the Youtube channel Cheap Lazy Vegan, is Korean so in addition to coffee, smoothies, tofu scramble, breakfast sandwiches, and baked goods, a few dishes are Korean or Korean-inspired. These include the bibimbap, the japchae with dumplings, and the tofu and sweet potato with rice.\n\nI am a Korean vegan so this place is like heaven for me (no pun intended, even though SaVeg is located within Heavens fitness). But I would imagine that any omnivore with taste buds intact would love the food as well. I once brought a blueberry muffin from SaVeg to work and a co-worker exclaimed, \"What are you eating? That looks amazing! It's just chock-full of berries!\" (She was right. It WAS amazing).\n\nSome of the prices are great. I once had the breakfast bagel sandwich ($5-6). I wasn't expecting much, but it was generously laden with smoked tofu, tomato, veganaise, and avocado - and it tasted amazing, and was very filling. The No-Fish filet is also around the same price range and was also delicious. If you want to splurge more, the japchae (glass noodles) is around $11-12. But I tried it, and can tell you that it is worth it. Probably my favorite thing on the menu so far, and one of the best things I have eaten in Calgary. I haven't tried the tofu scramble (yet) but $7 for the dish is a very good deal.\n\nI would love to see the menu expand in the future, and to have it offer more Korean fare (kimchi, anyone? Kimbap?). But I understand that within a gym, they would want to start off by being more Westernized to draw in more customers. \n\nI highly recommend this place. Go check out SaVeg! Give it more love!"^^ .
