Ace Coffee & Diner

We went to this place on Sunday morning for brunch. Service was friendly but slow. It took us long to be seated although it was not busy. Food was ok and coffee was descent.

Arrive. No greeter. Appears to be a seat yourself arrangement unless you manage to actually be greeted. We sit down. Ignored for 10 minutes after being walked by many times. Ask for a menu. Wait another 10 minutes. Nobody comes around at all. Son says dad lets go. We go to 722. Greeted with a smile and served right away. Get it together ace. Sheesh.

We came here once for brunch and we enjoyed the food. The service was quick and the atmosphere was nice. We decided to come back again. I called last week to ask if we could order take out and they said the kitchen had closed early because the cook had a migraine. Annoying but understandable. So we came here on Tuesday May 24^th at 4:50pm. They were closed even though they were supposed to be open until 8pm (according to their website). We tried again tonight (May 26^th) at 5:20pm. Again, they’re supposed to be open until 8pm and they were closed once again. We won’t bother with this place again because apparently being open during the hours they’re supposed to be doesn’t matter to the people who run this place.

Great breakfast place with a simple menu and Phil & Sebastian coffee. Two entrances, one for take out and their coffee and bakery counter. The service is very friendly and the décor is fun. The prices for their food and drinks is pretty high, buy its a nice treat once in awhile. Their almond croissants are amazing!

My new favourite breakfast diner
Excellent food and the service is top notch
The other reviews say it’s busy of course it is it’s a good diner
And how can a server predict the wait! Really

I was so excited to try out a new breakfast place… But I was left very disappointed. The first time I went was their grand opening Saturday. The service was very poor, but I chalked it up to it being busy and new. The food was mediocre at best and cold. Like another reviewer I had the Eggs Benedict with Salmon.
I decided to give it another chance about a month later and try out a new dish. I had the mushroom Omelet. It was completely burned on the bottom and obviously the eggs were then extremely dry. I realized then that this was not somewhere I wanted to waste my money on. The waitress was the same as last time and her service did not improve at all.
The only positive I will give them is that their Spanish Latte is quite nice!

Slow, slow service. Not a place to eat if you are budgeting time. Food was ok tho .
The space looks like they wernt sure what direction they were gonna decorate, or they ran out of money .
I might try it again.

Cool space but that’s it.
Service was average to slow but very friendly.
Don’t sit by the door! Cold draft kept coming in.
Had the eggs Benny with salmon. Were those robins eggs? Holy crap, smallest eggs ever! Especially considering it was EGGS Benny! Way too much salmon stacked on a bleh muffin. Hollandaise sauce lacked ANY flavor whatsoever! And to top it off it was all cold.
It’s got possibility but the food quality and service needs to improve for the price they charge!

A new breakfast place in Calgary! Near where I live? Sign me up.
To start, I go here nearly every second morning for their coffee alone at 7am. They brew Phil and Sebastian coffee and also make a mean Nutella Latte. They also have fresh pastries and sandwiches to go.
Next is there in house service. Everyone in there is very friendly and excited to serve you. It’s rare to get this kind of service anymore. They also seem to make an effort to get to know you.
Their best food is hard to choose but my wife and I tried the Croque Madame and the Pancetta Eggs Benny and they were so good. Also there are no better side potatoes in Calgary. They are crispy and soft at the same time. Boom.
If you are looking for something sweet, grab their French toast. It’s to die for. Overall I think my favourite Calgary breakfast place. Couldn’t recommend it more!
Go be awesome at Ace!

The food was ok but not worth the price. Paid $ 15 for bacon and eggs and they only give you a single slice of toast! Better off at Belmont or Diner Deluxe where you get bottomless toast and hash browns and less expensive. Coffee is better at Starbucks

Great breakfast place, from the breakfast burger to the chicken and waffles to the pancakes. They sell Modern Jelly donuts and run Phil and Sebastions Coffee. The Nutella latte alone is worth going for.
My fav dish so far is the breakfast burger. Perfectly cooked, juicy and beefy with a perfectly cooked egg, hollandaise and pancetta crisps. The hashbrowns are cooked perfectly, mini potatoes done crispy and seasoned on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside.
A must visit if you’re in the area!

Another restaurant has opened to serve the seemingly endless desire of Calgarians for a place to enjoy breakfast and brunch.
Ace Coffee & Diner is similar to the likes of Diner Deluxe and the Beltliner. Serving both classic and trendy breakfast items (along with a more limited lunch menu), the restaurant places a lot of focus on locally sourced ingredients.
On my first visit, I tried the breakfast sandwich which included an over easy egg and fig jam on a brioche bun. The highlight of the dish was the smashed baby potatoes on the side.
Phil and Sebastian coffee is the available brew. In addition to standard coffee and lattes, the restaurant also offers fancier flavours for their coffee drinks including Nutella, ducle and Spanich lattes.
The restaurant advertises their baked goods as being made fresh on site. On this visit, they had a small selection of cookies and scones plus one variety of donut from Jelly Modern.
The prices are a little higher than standard diner breakfasts, but I feel its worth it for the better quality ingredients.
