The Best Vegan Café in Calgary: Canela

Looking for a delicious vegan spot in the heart of Calgary? Say hello to Canela, a cozy plant-based bakery and café located right in the charming neighbourhood of Inglewood. Whether you're vegan or just love a good pastry, this spot is a must-visit on your café bucket list.

Dairy-Free Drinks

Everything we tried at Canela was an absolute 10/10. We started off with drinks, and wow! From the Ube Iced Lavender Chai, to the Strawberry Matcha, to the dreamy Ube Horchata, each one was creamy, flavourful, and completely dairy-free. One of the best parts of visiting a vegan café? No extra charge for oat milk!

Vegan Pastries

The pastries at Canela deserve their own spotlight. We couldn’t resist the Almond Croissant, Fruit Tart, Chocolate Croissant, and Pop Tart—and we were genuinely shocked that they were all fully vegan. The textures were buttery and rich, and the flavours absolutely nailed it. You won’t miss the dairy, we promise.

Canela – Vegan Bakery Calgary

To top it all off, Canela also has the cutest branded tote bags. We snagged one on our way out, and not only is it adorable, but the quality is amazing too, perfect for your farmer’s market hauls or weekend café runs.
