Reviews of Inspire Cafe (Bakery)

GAil Stickney-Mills

Thank you for an amazing lunch at home. I took home your chicken enchilada pie. Cooked for 15 minutes in my air fryer. Yum crust was delicious. The filling was very fresh. Could not resist the look of your carrot cake and enjoyed it over two days. Cannot wait to try more items.

Inspire always has the best snacks if you're sneaking away for a break or it's a great place to eat with friends. The service is always 10 out of 10. Coffee and tea are always good. If you need a hand, the staff know their stuff!

Cameron Parham

Shared a wonderful pot of Earl Grey Cream. Beautiful surrounding. Food looked great, but we were looking for good tea. Art offered for sale and just for ambiance was varied and authentic. Will return!

Susan Knight

Friendly service and consistently delicious food. A definite lunch favourite.

Melody Wasylciw

Funky, artsy place with good eats. Located downtown in a heritage building with lots of character inside and out. Good tea and coffee. Try the Angel Falls tea. It's delicious and their best seller. Really nice solo, duo and trio folk music there from time to time. A nice place to pop in for a quick lunch or take someone and kick back and enjoy. Love it.

Jonas Renner

Inspire has the best mac and cheese ever and really good beer and pop.

Travis “devrandom” Owen

Great place for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Excellent food with great daily specials. Medicine Hat needs more unique places like this!

Felecia Mercer

Fresh and delicious ????

Has great food. There is an art camp taught there in which i attended. It was really well taught and was worth the money.

This is my go-to restaurant for lunch & coffee dates with my wife. The food is absolutely top notch, especially their specials ... And if you are into home-made soups, they have the _absolute best soups_ of anywhere, not just in the city, but anywhere I've been. They don't do cappuccino, but their French Press coffee is stellar. The desserts are also top shelf, always fresh, and always carefully prepared. The dinner menu is a little light, but all of the options are delicious. This cafe also features one of the most cheerful and pleasant atmospheres I've ever experienced. You're surrounded by big windows in an airy space with locally produce art adorning the walls and displays. But it's also extremely down-to-earth, with no major formalities. Just stop in as you are, enjoy as much or as little food as you want, and relax while you chat with friends, or just people-watch! Also, take note of their live music schedule, they are huge supporters of the Folk Music scene. On weekends, they often feature local musicians, as well as those traveling from across the country. This truly is one of those rare gems that defines a community. Do yourself a favour and stop in to say hi. Tell them I sent you.

Nice place, good food, good friends

I have a 3-4 chance rule for any cafe or restaurant, maybe it's just staff, a bad day, or a slim chance it happened to me :^ But after a while ... it's evident that's it's no longer these issues ... The first time I was ever in there we were taking a break from an engangment shoot, we were just going to get some food and drinks. I don't leave my expensive gear in the vehicle for obvious reasons. Upon entering, I believe the owner maybe, with out any shred of politeness ....demands I not take photos while explaining to me that I need permission. All of my gear is in bags ... I can understand the need to protect art, but I felt accosted as no one was going to take photos ...we just wanted to eat after a long day of shooting. She made it really uncomfortable by watching us and hovering like we were some sort of art thieves ? After explaining to her that I don't leave my gear in the vehicle for the 2nd or 3rd timel she still continued to berate us as if we were children that couldn't be trusted and in need of hearing about all of the laws protecting art ... like lady we get it, trust me I get it, I have been doing photography for years.....let us order our food and be done with it.. . Now normally I would have just picked up and left but everyone at the table really wanted to try it out ... I felt really uncomfortable, and didn't even want to spend my money in this place. After a few minutes of me debating on leaving, my friends convinced me to stay, all while avoiding this woman's glances and hoverings.... On top of it all our orders were all wrong =/ It took me a full year to try it again, with help from friends that insist I try it out again... Unfortunately it wasn't to my liking, each visit consisted in disappointment, I tried really hard to order different things, and with different friends ....... but I've officially written this cafe off as a no go. The coffee for a "Cafe" is mediocre, the food is pretty generic...there is nothing really special about the menu, and the machines are usually down when you want to order. The last visit that did it for me was a baked good that tasted stale and the drink was like water .... Maybe I have the worst luck in regards to this specific cafe , who knows.. but I won't be back =/ I'll stick with Station House and Cafe Verve , you can taste the quality in their goods

Best gluten free peanut butter cookie ever!!!Thanks Louise!

Such an amazing place the most terrific art classes I ever had and you get to hear lovely live music while you paint away

Scott Jacob

Love their soup (all their food really), great atmosphere.

Tristan L

I've been going with a couple of buddies for a year now. The soup is always hot and delicious. The sandwiches are always hot, and the bread is always fluffy or crisped to perfection. The coffee is very, very good and the service is amazing. The staff treat you like a friend and it gives it a very cozy feel. The wifi connection is good and the art/decorations are beautiful. I can't recommend this place enough.

Helen Yacak

Excellent attentive staff and owners! Food absolutely served hot and delicious! Nice to have real food! Would recommend this establishment to everyone! Come in for lunch and supper.

Inspire Cafe is a nice little corner place in Downtown Medicine Hat, adjacent to their Art Studio. The staff is friendly. The red tables are unique. Sometimes they do live music. The food is really good. Just what you would expect, home made feel. I wish the portions were bigger. Overall - thumbs up!

Jessica Calderon

Love to come here! Always friendly atmosphere! A big choice in vegeterian options! Food always taste great!

Braeden King

Coffee wasn't hot and the food is only okay.

Jessica Connors

Cute little space with a hearty menu. Had a cubano sandwich which was pretty tasty, would maybe ask for light mustard next time but was good anyways. The ceasar salad was so good! I liked the art for purchase on the walls and the little dessert cabinet looked good for another visit.

Triistan Clark

Small cozy and just relaxing vibes all around loved it

Gradyflamesplays

Amazing, carrot cake very yummy. Food good.

Samantha Popp

This cafe was incredible! Their peroge soup and chicken club sandwich (pictured below) was so tasty and the staff was so nice here. I did not get a picture of their upside down Christmas tree but that was awesome so if you’re looking for a local cafe to support for a lunch date come here

Pete Heck

Cute cafe and art gallery, part of Medicine Hat's downtown art walk. Serve only drip or French press coffee no specialty coffees. Desserts are divine.

Times Chu

The place for tea in Medicine Hat. They have a wide selection of loose leaf teas in their own dedicated menu, brought to you boiling hot and fresh in a POT. Not next to a carafe of tepid water like some places. This is the real stuff.

Joshua Swanson

Inspire has such a unique vibe in our community. With the art studio connected, and artwork displayed throughout its certainly not like anything else in Medicine Hat! Oh, and do yourself a favour while you're there, eat a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich.... <-- Drool.

Taminy “TaminyJane”

The soup was really good.

Hoggustina Hoop

Very nice place, good atmosphere and staff. Quick service .

Jason Dyer

Pop in at least weekly for lunch. Never disappointed. Always quick friendly service.

Iradele Plante

Cozy and cute - friendly staff and beautiful pastries!

Grace Herter

The staff is so kind and so welcoming, and the food is SOO GOOD!! You want a homemade meal? Go here. It is so so good. The simplest stuff like sandwiches, is indiscribably incredible, everytime. The Art in here is also so beautiful and there's always something to look at. I don't think I have anything bad to say about this place.

James

Quaint, quiet, and quick. Possibly the best Cafe in the hat, and not just for there food either. I love the moments when no one's here so I can just enjoy a cup of tea and read a book instead of being bombarded by the noise of other customers and/or radio. Service is always polite and knowledgeable about there menu, not to mention the items on the menu are relatively health-concious. So thank-you Inspire Cafe. Keep making those tasty treats and homemade soups!

Vitamin R

Great cafe with soups and sandwichs that are both well done, be sure to try their baked goods as well. Good value buys here, nothing is too expensive. They often bring in local performers and support local artists, very supportive of their community.

Moscow Moose is exceptional! The treats are top notch; home made jam for the scones. The atmosphere is trendy, yet homey and clean. The people owning/ serving are polite and fun. Good job Inspire!

Awesome people. Delicious food!

Mark Davies

The most expensive pie I ever bought, $10 for a tiny pie and really not that good. Dry and tasteless. And when did a chicken and curry pie consist mostly of potato...

BK

Love the pies!
