Another Calgary coffee roaster and cafe chain has made its Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»debut, though it's taken a few more months than originally planned.
opened the doors to its first location in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»at 338 Helmcken St in Yaletown, pouring its first cups on Thursday, April 27.
The cafe has been in the works for close to a year, with opening initially anticipated for fall 2022.
For those unfamiliar with the YYC-based brand, Analog has been in the coffee game for over a decade. "The first Analog was opened in 2011 at the Calgary Farmers Market, followed by the 17th Ave location right in the heart of the city’s beltline in 2012," explains the company's website.
Currently, Analog operates seven locations in Calgary, and prior to opening in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»the company ventured into B.C. with a location now open in Kelowna.
When it comes to what they're brewing up, Analog says: "We go to incredible, almost ridiculous lengths to make sure every cup of Analog coffee expresses the natural flavour of the bean." To that end, the company works with growers around the world to source beans and roasts them to ensure not to mask the flavour inherent to the bean - so coffee terroir.
"Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»we are excited to be open and serving the best coffee to this incredible community!" declared Analog on its social media for opening day.
Analog Coffee in Yaletown is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. You'll find them on Instagram .
