LOVE - Edit
SaVeg is my new favourite spot. Staff/ owner is super friendly and creates a pleasant atmosphere, and the food is so tasty and well-priced!
Read moreThe breakfast delivers, the no-eggs benny is something I've started to crave! They also have really nice lemon infused water every day, its a nice touch.
I'd recommend this to anyone, its a great addition to the vegan scene in Calgary. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Pros: Food is super tasty , Easy to get to from train , Inexpensive
Cons: Wish they were open in the evenings

One of the few spots with breakfast options - Edit
I’ve ordered breakfast from here a couple times and it was really good! Their homemade hollandaise and banana bread (choconana) were the highlight for me.

We had a bit of trouble finding the entrance, but once we did I was able to devour a fantastic Benny. Cheers!

Wow!!! We are full time traveling vegans and SaVeg is amazing! - Edit
We are full time traveling vegans and SaVeg is outstanding! The owner is a social media star and has the most amazing Korean dishes. Great Soy Bulgogi burger and Bibimbap.

Lovely vegan cafe with amazing smoothies - Edit
Fun little cafe on the side of a fitness centre with some delicious food. We tried the sweet green, super berry and strawberry banana smoothies and they were all delicious, full of flavour and large portions - some of the best I’ve ever had! Food wise, we had the breakfast burrito, choconana (grilled banana bread) and no eggs benedict. The burrito was a bit small but tasty, the choconana banana bread was super light, had two thick slices and tasted really nice, and the no eggs benedict was a perfect vegan alternative!

3.5 Pretty good- needs more flavour and salt - Edit
Was expecting a bit more flavour. My spicy chicken noodles was good but, needed some soy sauce. Great vegan chicken texture. Wasn’t very spicy. Tofu katsu was nice and had a good crunch. The katsu sauce was nice and full of veggies and chickpeas but a little under-seasoned. Would definetly try again!
Read morePros: Cheap and lazy! :)
Cons: Needs a few tweaks to amp up flavour and umami

Excellent breakfast - Edit
Lots of choice for breakfast. The bagel sandwich was great but our favourite had to be the no eggs benny. The smoothies were huge and really tasty. Friendly service. It is a little tricky to find as it is inside a gym. Wish our gym back home had a vegan cafe!

Such a great little place with a lot of delicious options!
Read moreThe food was great, staff super nice. The place is kinda hidden and it honestly doesn’t look good from the outside, but once you are there it’s fantastic!

Delicious - Edit
I have visited here 3 times during visits to Calgary. I’ve tried the glass noodles a couple of times (that’s my favorite), dumplings, the no eggs Benedict, poke bowl, and another rice dish… everything was excellent!

Unbelievably good - Edit
Their menu is diverse and doesn’t rely on ultra-processed vegan alternatives. Every item I tried was delicious. I especially recommend their smoothies.

Hidden gem - Edit
Came here with my non-vegan parents for Easter brunch. The service was friendly and fast. Everything we delicious. Good portions. Parents really liked their tofu scramble, air baked potatoes, bagel sandwich and coffees. I loved my eggs Benedict and chai latte. So nice to come to a place that I know is 100% vegan and I can safely order anything on the menu. Any wait to be back soon to try more menu items.

Food amazing. Service great. Location... meh. - Edit
Food was very good. Service was very good.
Read moreI'd seen this advertised quite a bit before giving it a shot. For some reason a veg place inside a gym made me feel like it was going to be a protein smoothie bar. Except it's actually more a coffee/brunch style place.
Although the decor is fine unfortunately the open space into the gym area is just weird. Feels like the gym reception dude is watching you dine, then some gym goers pass through and disturb the peace. It's not that bad but I could see this place thriving in a more appropriate setting.
Pros: Food good, Service good
Cons: Space

Had the tuna bowl which was pretty solid, but nothing special in my opinion

My go-to place to eat - Edit
This is practically the only place I eat out at this point. I live too far to get delivery, so I eat in the café. It's connected to a gym, so can get a bit loud, but I don't mind that.
Read morePros: Friendly Staff , Amazing Food
Cons: Connected to a gym, so it's loud sometimes

Wish they had longer hours! - Edit
I had been in Calgary all week, and was finally able to get here during their limited open hours. A nice little gem. Since going vegan, one of the things I missed was Korean food. So glad this place fulfills that craving !

Not the best location (probably would’ve had a hard time finding it if I hadn’t read reviews saying it was inside the gym) but absolutely amazing food. I wish we were staying in Calgary longer so we could try more of the menu!

Vegan Korean restaurants are rare - Edit
And when they are good they are jewels. The location if SaVeg is weird- it’s a cafe inside a gym but the food is excellent. It’s not at the level of Hangawi in NYC but so few restaurants are. This is a great restaurant for good Korean veganized dishes. They are a bit limited in their menu but what they have are great
Read morePros: Korean vegan!
Cons: Limited options

Nice spot - Edit
💯% Vegan, so nice to be able to order a caramel latte and know it’s plant based.
Read moreI had the no egg Benny this time, which was pretty good. I had the “tuna” poke bowl last time. I would not recommend it. It was waaayy too fishy for my liking.
Pros: All plant based, Cafe feel, Can watch them make the food
Cons: Tuna poke bowl is very fishy

Nice cafe with Korean twist - Edit
Went there two times for breakfast.
Read moreFirst time we had the scrambled tofu and the breakfast burrito and for the second time we tried the egg Bennys. All were good but we felt like the serving sizes were a little small. So definitely take a side dish when hungry. I would recommend the savoury Korean pancakes and the delicious banana bread
Pros: All vegan
Cons: Small serving sizes

Love the name - Edit
Had the Tofu Katsu Curry and Hummus wrap with avocado, both were a bit underwhelming. Curry taste was good but the tofu was lacking both in portion and taste. The wrap was actually good but barely any avocado inside. Glad to see a unique take on Korean food. I’d still recommend checking it out.
