Extreme Bean Calgary Restaurant Review
Tucked away on the north embankment of the Bow River in Parkdale is the Extreme Bean Eatery Café and Grill. It is an exceptional inner city café serving some of the best homemade soups, sandwiches and salads around, while offering a large variety of other food and drink like Vietnamese cuisine, protein shakes and more.
Extreme Bean is a popular stop-in destination during the summer heat for Bow River recreationalists. The cafe has grown a strong reputation in the local Calgary community as a great place for social gatherings while enjoying spectacular homemade food, all for a very reasonable price.

Atmosphere and Service
Walking into Extreme Bean Eatery you will notice an L shaped interior with a variety of tables; booths, two person, countertop seats, even couches beside a fire place and a small, but lovely patio section that would be awesome in the sun! Tables are very cozy and private, definitely a great place for meeting with people you know.
Besides a wide selection of seating, staff is very friendly and are more than willing to explain menu items to you, even create custom orders for you that aren’t on the menu which is great!
