Bumpy’s Cafe

Found myself at the doors of M.E.C. about an hour earlier than I intended, (and an hour before they open)… A fella cleaning the window said, «If you want a coffee while you wait, Bumpy’s is just around the corner.» I dragged my sleepy ass around the corner to Bumpy’s where I was greeted by possibly the most friendly, joyful young lady on the planet! I felt like I should have given her a hug like a long missed friend. She recommended the sausage and egg bread pudding, which I will now heartily recommend to you! It is savoury and cheesy and all together a wonderful surprise find on a chill morning!

Fantastic fresh muffins. Awesome Atomic Blend coffee. Great place to have a one-​on-​one conversation with somebody.

We have been visiting Bumpy’s as a family for years. most weekends we drive down and visit the crew at Bumpy’s for excellent coffee, yummy food and great atmosphere! I would recommend it to anyone!
Claire and her Co-​workers have watched our daughter grow up and Always treat us like family!

The place is cozy and delicate. They provide different kinds of coffee, cookies, breakfast and lunch. If you just pass by the street, you can into there to enjoy moment. That is great

If you’re an oatmeal lover like me, you’ll love this place. There is an extensive list of toppings on a blackboard to pick from. Great oatmeal. I had to get one of their muffin tops, as well. I don’t know her name, but if you get the black-​haired skinny girl with short hair working behind the counter you’ll have no option but to have a smile on your face. She’s super nice and super bubbly.

Almond milk… freshly baked muffins… gluten-​free offerings… Muffeletaaaaaaaa!!! My brain just about overloaded when it saw all of these delights under one roof. Add the retro décor, the antiqued metal tables and… whaaaat??? I get the «Dukes of Hazzard» sign on my table for my order? This place is a dream come true.
I ordered an almond milk hot chocolate to start. So delicious and not too sweet. Plus, I love the corrugated cardboard cups that save your hands from hot drinks without needing a sleeve. Got a beautiful chocolate chip walnut muffin for my little monkey. That will be a great after school treat for her today!
The Muffeleta — mmmm… very tasty. Put olive tapenade on just about anything and I’ll be a happy girl, but add some provolone, Italian meats and toast it all together? That’s a happiness sandwich!
Then there’s the freshly baked lemon yogurt loaf. This sucker is old-school…moist, glazed to perfection and served in a SLAB, not a slice.
There are so many other things to try here that I just have to come back. Let’s not forget about the cheery service, and how helpful everyone is here. Bumpy’s, you’ve stolen my heart!

The best coffee in the city, plus the baked goods! Amazing! Good luck leaving without a yummy treat and an amazing coffee!

Really good food! I always see a line on Sundays for brunch in this place and now I really know why… It is delicious! I had the lasagna and it was great ! The sandwich of my partner looked delicious too and he said it was very good… The coffee was great too! Although the place is small I think is worthy to go there any day with no waiting line… I definitely would like to go back there to try the rest of items they offer!

I would run out of good things to say about bumpy’s if I filled the comments. Every time I go there I get a nice greeting, everything is always fresh, the coffee isn’t like any other coffee — it’s unique. The baking is phenomenal and a must try!

They have awesome coffee. I had a large latte, it was delicious and I was very happily caffeinated. Their offerings for breakfast and lunch are tasty and affordable. The staff was friendly. It is downtown so going on a Sunday will make parking easier. It was a very cold day when I went the first time and was near the door that kept letting cold air in. I have returned many times and have fallen in-​love with this place. Hands down, their coffee and muffins are the best!

I love this place. The café’ décor has a 50’s /​60’s retro look /​feel in an old brick building.
The most deliciously creamy & consistent Latte’s in Calgary. They use JJ bean coffee (roasted in Vancouver)
The food & baking is delicious, reasonably priced and all made in house.
The staff: You won’t find a friendlier lot!
This is my first 5 Star review. I’ve been coming here for over a year so this is based on many, many visits.

You’re just so darned cute, Bumpy’s! You’re hip, you’re happening, you keep up with the cool kids, and yet I still want to introduce you to my grandma. You’re fun and funky and still so down-​home adorable.
Your staff are bubbly and wonderful all the time! They’re so nice, I feel like I need to be on my best behavior at all times. Sometime I visit you in the morning and I make sure to thank them on the way out after I’ve had my coffee and can finally interact with them like the real human being that I am post-​coffee.
You can be kind of hard to get around in and when you’re busy I wind up bumping into everyone sitting down… bump bump bump… wait a minute… Did I just figure it out your name? Its ok by me though, your narrow in the middle design makes it difficult to pass by people, but I think it just adds to your quirky charm.
Last visit I had some borderline life-​changing cream of mushroom soup. Nothing different, nothing unexpected, just really really good cream of mushroom soup — flavourful broth with impressive full slices of mushroom everywhere. It’s a good thing I was meeting someone, or I would have had my face buried in that bowl with soup up to my ears!
Home-​made and heavenly.

Excellent coffee here! I had the spinach mushroom quiche which was also excellent. Staff is very friendly and service is prompt. This is especially impressive considering how busy they are. If the place were bigger I’d give it a five star rating in a heartbeat.

What a great place. The staff was so energetic and nice. The place was SPOTLESS and I know clean as I have a commercial cleaning business and the food was super tasty. The cheese tasted like it dropped from heaven and the temperature was perfect. Going back soon!

Bumpy’s is the first place in Calgary where I’ve been able to find Vancouver’s JJ Bean coffee. And hoo-​boy it was a potent cup of joe.
There’s a wonderfully peppy, high energy gal who works there. In the mornings when I’m still half asleep, it’s almost too much to handle but I appreciate her efforts to make the morning a little less groggy.

If you’re looking for good coffee and great tasting food, definitely visit Bumpy’s.
This café is super cute — painted in colourful splashes of yellows and blues… not to mention the super happy/​helpful staff, it’s bound to make anyone’s day upon setting foot inside. As cute and quaint as this place is, keep it mind it can get horrendously busy thanks to the downtown rush, not to mention many dedicated customers. Lengthy lineups and complications to get a table may be met, depending on the time you’re visiting Bumpy’s.
Everything from their food, to the lattes, and coffee is beyond amazing. I’ve had breakfast at Bumpy’s a few times where I’ve had their frittata, oatmeal, and breakfast panini accompanied with a cup of coffee and every time has been excellent. I would sometimes get to the point I would «forget» to pack a lunch as an excuse to visit Bumpys during lunch hour!
I usually say «if you’re in the area check the place out»…however for Bumpy’s, if given the opportunity take the trip down for a great cup of coffee or snack depending on what is tickling your fancy!

I came in here quickly for a chai tea latte, but boy it sure was memorable.
Great chai taste, and real handcrafted quality. My new benchmark for chai.

Second visit at Bumpy’s is even better than my first. Why? Their lattes are out of this world GOOD!!! After checking out 8 of the top 10 coffee shops in Calgary, this latte may have won the number one place in my heart. :)
Had the mac and cheese again and still SOOOO GOOOD!

Love the atmosphere, friendly staff, great cheap prices and quality food! Only been here once and I ordered the café mocha and I felt like I died and went to heaven. It was so rich and decadent. And the breakfast panini was really fulfilling.
I can’t wait to come back here for breakfast, I’d drive 30 mins every morning just to have breakfast if I could wake up early enough!

I need to stop neglecting you Bumpy’s! Whenever my friend is back in town visiting from Montréal, she demands we go to Bumpy’s. She came back, demanded, so we went!
I love how welcoming this joint is, very cozy and friendly staff, the perfect cure to a drizzly day. We are greeted with smiles and given a Fantasy Island table topper to flag our orders down with.
I enjoyed a delicious Vietnamese latte, pineapple raspberry muffin and a bacon, caramelized onion panini. I never felt rushed to leave or like I was out of place. I didn’t feel like I need a cool factor of 10 like Beano to enjoy great service and courtesy from the staff, though obviously my cool factor is always at a 12.
I did live in fear slightly while enjoying our food as I had parked in the Bonterra lot, and was hoping my car would still be there when I returned.
Next time, I will park where I am supposed to and Bumpy’s, we must make a permanent arrangement for meetups.
