Downtown Coffee Tips
Many downtown cafes are built around the office crowd, so hours can be shorter on weekends and some close by mid-afternoon. Check before you go.
104 Street and the blocks around Churchill Square have the highest concentration of independent cafes. In winter, the pedway system connects many towers so you can grab a coffee without heading outdoors.
