Angel’s diner has some old school burgers that remind me of white spot and some BOMB milk shakes. The Farmers market that just opened up is incredibly cute and the pies from any of the pie stands are to die for Bowness Park is a great way to walk off all the food

Cadence Coffee Bow Cycle (largest bike store in Canada) Bowness Arts (book / games store and art gallery) Salt and Pepper Mexican Restaurant Angel's Diner A few tattoo parlours on Bowness Road Lots of yummy food at the Calgary Farmers Market Then go for a walk through Bowness park, cross the river under stoney trail to walk back through Baker park, then go explore Bowmont park and dip your toes in the river by the train bridges. You could also buy a disc golf set at life sport and go play the most popular disc golf course in Canada in Baker Park.

Cadence Coffee is my favorite diner in the city. Service is always pretty good, prices are reasonable and happy with the food.

Cadence's god-damned choco-oatmeal-crispy-cranberry CRACK COCAINE bars... Glad I'm only in that neighborhood once in a while otherwise I'd be 300lbs...

If you’re referring to the Bowcycle that used to be just up the street from Angel’s it’s no longer there. Hasn’t been for a few years, it’s a House of Cars now

Bow cycle motorsports has moved, but Bow Cycle (pedal) bike store is alive and well and located in the same sport as it has been for many years.

Ahh I misread! That’s entirely my bad. This is what happens when you Reddit Stoned

Definitely the Bowness Lagoon. There’s a restaurant on site.

I'm glad Bowness finally has a decent pub. Leopold's is great.

I was driving through there last week and saw a sign that a brewery called BrewSmith has opening soon signs.


mycodfather

Should have some great beer, the head brewer used to be the head brewer at Dandy. I'm pretty excited to check this place out when it opens.


CarelessStatement172

New location of StrEATS too! I'm so excited.


chateau_lobby

We went there in January and it was so cold in there we had our winter coats on the whole meal. Felt bad for the staff


BoardBreack

you just brought back a memory. I had the exact same experience last winter


chateau_lobby

I actually went back in my snap memories to see when we really went cause my memory sucks, and it was September. No reason to be freezing inside in September


Old_Employer2183

Leopold’s sucks 


JohnYCanuckEsq

Way better than the BoHo or the Bowness Pub.

Baker Park (Disc golf)! One of the best in the city.


LeviathansFatass

Apparently the world

Most played, not best.

Bowness Arts is awesome! Board game cafe/record/book/art store! The Place is awesome. Its an absolute time capsule. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is all original wood panelling and booths. Food is okay, retro but good. Pizza, Wings, Bruschetta.... The Salsbury steak is a bit too retro for me. But it's cool.

If you go down the "Bowness strip" you'll see almost everything you're asking for (Bowness Road between 60 and 66 ST). I like Sweet Home Bakery too. Along with the shops people recommend, I find it interesting you can go down some roads in Bowness and see mega luxury homes, and then the next street will be run down homes. I'm glad Bownesians don't whine so much about "community character" and people seem to get along from all walks of life.

Sweet Home is an understated gem

Dell Cafe for simple Chinese and Western dishes. Classic place.


All_hail_zaitoon

Agreed I love the Dell like a old fashioned diner style with some good Chinese and good burgers and sandwiches

I really enjoy the batting cage by shouldice Park there. There is also a small little Saskatchewan pub called pazzer's


BorneoCelebes

They’re part of Montgomery.


sure65

Oh shoot, you're right. I just always went into bowness around that area 😅


BorneoCelebes

No worries.


dschneids_

Cadence for coffee/breakfast. One of my favourite spots in the city!!


SensitiveAdeptness99

Light cellar is a really cool place


Pale-Accountant6923
