The Barking Buffalo Cafe

I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't comment on that but I loved it here! The vegan options are amazing...Noorish snacks on 124th? The best! Cute atmosphere, not a lot of seating, but worth checking out.

Best coffee on 124 street, hands down. The decor and environment is welcoming and calm. Great concept with Salgado Fenwick and the cafe. Love this place!

5 stars for a peerless espresso made on an Izzo lever machine with coffee from Pilot roasters in Toronto. That's all I had, but it was superb. Cool shop too- they sell their t-shirts at Market Collective events in Calgary and I'm proud to say I own a couple. I had no idea about the coffee, which was a most excellent surprise even in a city whose coffee scene is exploding, as Edmonton's is.

The Barking Buffalo lets you sip a direct-trade latte while shopping for a designed-in-house-and-silk-screened-on-site tee/pillow/sweater by Salgado Fenwick in a cosy, eclectic space that features salvaged school assembly chairs, vintage art and not-so-matchy-matchy tables. Also on the menu: housemade granola bars and muffins.

I had a chance to swing by the new Barking Buffalo Cafe last week, a small grab-and-go coffee space paired with local fashion brand Salgado Fenwick. Coffee and fashion all in one space? It’s not an unusual concept but definitely a presentation of two visions bringing more life to the growing 124 Street district.
