A Students Guide to Lethbridge Coffee Shops

‍

Having lived and gone to school in Lethbridge for most of my life, I have tried almost every coffee shop in Lethbridge. Though I'm not a coffee connoisseur and have recently found myself drinking more tea than I'd like to admit, I encourage coffee and tea enthusiasts alike to check out these coffee shops that are near and dear to my heart.  

The Penny Coffee House

Whether you're just looking for a drink to push you through the school day or a weekend brunch spot with friends, the Penny has everything you need for a quick catch-up or a long-haul study session. The beautiful copper ceiling and local art covering the walls contribute to this coffee shop's welcoming ambience known locally. The coffee is delicious (and comes with a small ginger cookie!). No matter your taste, there's something for everyone on their food menu. My personal favourites are the cinnamon twists or strawberry muffins. Still, their breakfast wraps are delicious and a more filling choice.  

Bread Milk and Honey  

Bread Milk and Honey has been my go-to study spot for countless chemistry, biology, and everything in-between study sessions in high school. Between their delicious food, baked goods, and coffee,even the worst homework feels like a breeze. Bread Milk and Honey is the perfect spot for any occasion where coffee is involved. My go-to order has always been their Caesar wrap and the chocolate cream pie, even if my lactose intolerance gravely disagrees. My coffee order is a constant conveyor belt, so I can't choose a favourite!

Sonder

Number one on this list is none other than Sonder Coffee. Sonder has been a long-time personal favourite and will be for the foreseeable future. This coffee shop features delicious specialty waffles alongside their artfully crafted drinks. They have an attractive building that provides the perfect place to sit and have brunch if coffee on the go isn't for you. My go-to drink here is a London fog with almond milk. On the topic of waffles, Sonder has something for everyone. If the societally standard sweet waffle isn’t your vibe, Sonder has you covered with their savoury selection. My all-time favourite waffle is the "Brie and Bacon," a waffle topped with brie, bacon, basil pesto, and cherry tomatoes.  


These aren't the only great coffee shops in the city, though; these are my favourites! Wherever you are staying in the city, Starbucks and Tim Hortons are far from your only coffee options here in Lethbridge. Our local Lethbridge coffee shops will have you excited and on the next thing all day long!
