Maven

I loved my Tokyo breakfast. Not sure what my friend got - so I'll only review my dish. Serving proportions look small but is actually quite filling. Quality was good. Nothing amazing tho. I found this to be a creative breakfast selection I enjoyed :) Service was great! They check your coats for you which I was happy about. Ambiance is cute and is a vibe. Clean and well maintained. Enjoyed my brunch. Will go again.

he atmosphere and staff were fantastic and very welcoming. Everyone was polite and attentive. Although we had a reservation, the place wasn’t crowded on a weekday. The portions were huge! We ordered the Singaporean toast and a dish called Benny (the first item on the menu, though I can’t recall the exact name). The flavors were unique, especially with the maple syrup—it was interesting but enjoyable. The potatoes had a bit of a chili kick, which was nice, though I’ve had better-tasting versions elsewhere in the city. I plan to return soon to try other menu items. As for the coffee, it was quite sour, which I believe it shouldn’t be like that. Overall, the wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff make this place deserving of 5 stars for now!

We have enjoyed dining at Maven a few times now for brunch. Delicious food! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and the fact that everything was tasty without being over salted…a huge thank you for that. Priscilla who we believe is one of the chefs came to check in on us multiple times and shared how some of the dishes came to life. Such great stories that highlighted certain dishes. Carla was our server and was very efficient and helpful as we enjoyed our time there never making us feel rushed or that we were an inconvenience. The hustle of the kitchen you could see but the system of these chefs is a fine oiled machine.Absolutely beautiful. The dish ware used made you feel like you were in an antique shop using misplaced china settings. So quaint and I loved it! We ordered almost all of the small plates(little things) with the exception of the Singapore toast as we wanted to try everything but could not decide. There were 3 of us and this was plenty. These pictures are from both visits and both times I forgot to share about the fried bread with cream. It’s a winner for sure. My tummy sings when I think of this dish🤤 Thank you to the staff for making our first experience of brunch at Maven a memorable one. Hence the fact we were back a few weeks later🤷🏽‍♀️

Love this breakfast spot but especially the design of the restaurant and the staff there is always very kind and attentive. You will like your brunch here if you love asian-inspired food and unique combinations. My favorite is sweet breakfast pancakes, french toats, waffles etc If you eat halal food you will have little option to choose from as most of the dishes have pork. It’s a bit on a pricier side but if you like good food then you will see the reason why.

The food here was absolutely amazing everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! However, the service was a letdown. They’re busy and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Despite the service, the quality of the food definitely makes it worth a visit, and I’ll be back :)

A lovely little breakfast spot!! My husband and I came here wanting to try out a new breakfast spot in Calgary & Maven did not disappoint. So many great options, it was hard to decide!! We ended up building our own Maven breakfasts & really enjoyed everything we ordered. The flat white was steamed to perfection & when we left, they even gave us to go cups for our coffees so we could finish them!! The space is so cozy & beautiful, filled with plants & natural light! Can’t wait to go back.

Googled breakfast Calgary downtown. This popped up in one of the first 5 listings and so happy it did! I will be back to try everything on this menu. Slight Asian fusion spin to some classic dishes. I took forever to decide but got the pork belly Benny. Flavour town! The egg was perfect medium. The bread was crisp on the edges and soft inside. Not cutting the roof of your mouth. It was perfect. As for the pork belly I can’t do it justice but you must try! Brown sugar hints with the perfect chew. Melt in your mouth. hollandaise sauce was a winner. Made in house for sure. Perfect mix of runny and think but not paste like. If you know you know. Potato’s were a nice touch. Light for being fried. The some chili oil on the dish as per the chefs recommendation. It did not disappoint. 9-10am mimosas happy hour! Server was kind and patient. Knew the menu to offer accurate suggestions based on my likes/dislikes. As I scroll the Google photos I NEED to return! Ambiance was a very relaxed vibe. Parking is in the back of the restaurant to which you can also enter thru the back. Looks as if there was a coffee shop back there (could be wrong). Looking forward to visiting again! Highlight thus far (food wise) of 2025!

Love coming here for brunch. Super decadent and always great service. Also my gluten sensitive mom loves the gluten free bread option and also we appreciate the alberta farm fresh eggs.
