Delicious cinnamon buns. The perfect balance of gooey goodness and great coffee
Cute, old coffee shop that's been renovated recently. Food and drinks tend to be good, although I think their bread too dry. Very friendly staff. I like how the art changes regularly.
Good service and good food
I've been away from Lethridge for a while but am very glad Penny is still going strong. Really good coffee and excellent service.
Cute little cafe. Great food!! Lavender fog????
the baristas were absolutely amazing, the vibe is so so GOOD.. and don’t even get me started on the coffees!!!!! you cannot drink without closing your eyes it’s so heavenly delicious yeah just go here and listen to RM’s Tokyo while drinking a Bombay Fog… love it here.. thank you so much. ps: even better on a rainy day;)
Was working in lethbridge a year ago and loved coming here, and now that I'm back in town again this place was high on my list of stops. It's little pricey but absolutely worth the spacial trip.❤ Not a bad thing on the menu and a fantastic atmosphere! I look forward to my next visit.
Penny’s is a pleasant escape and fresh take on Vegan / Vegetarian food. Would highly recommend!
The best grilled cheese I've ever ate was the grilled cheese that they made at this place. it was the dill pickle one and my goodness it was great and while I was eating that scrumptious sandwich I was playing Pokemon go for an hour because there is a pokestop right outside of this place which is amazing
The ginger cookie sandwhich (with cream cheese in the middle) = AMAZING ????
Great London fog, great pastry!!
One of my favourite coffee shops. Their drinks and food are very good and their staff has always been amazing. Would recommend it to any of my friends/family.
Baked goods beyond imagination, and much more! The Penny staff and service is excellent, the food is superb, and the atmosphere is welcoming. What more could you want?
Love the atmosphere, the food and the staff. There's always something tasty and healthy for me to choose from and they have non-dairy options like their soup which I really appreciate. It's also a great place to write / read or meet friends.
Amazing sandwich and a fun tasty lemonade made my lunch break awesome. Fast friendly service ????
Nice coffee shop in downtown Lethbridge!
I have been going here for as long as I can remember (almost 30 years). I no longer live in the area but make it a priority to stop in anytime I back in the city for a pasta salad and/or veggie sandwich. I've never had a bad experience in my MANY MANY times at Penny! Best coffee house in the city.. possibly the province!
Not really impressed with the espresso drinks or drip coffee here. The place resembles a 50's diner, but isn't. Some staff are friendly. Others...aren't.
My go-to when I'm in town from Vancouver. A superior alternative to the corporate coffee! Great food as well!
A regular java-ing hole for me & many others. The penny has a classic, homey coffee shop atmosphere & friendly service. Its a Lethbridge classic.
Always friendly! Make sure to try the pasta salad.
This place is cozy. Homemade soups, sandwiches and baking ❤️ my go to place when I'm in town.
Nice place but careful about the brewed coffee. I liked this place when walking in. I enjoyed that you can sit and relax, read a book, or sit on you laptop. I got a brewed coffee from there to go. As I was drinking it, it tasted more and more like coffee grounds. The last quarter it become clear that there was definitely more then a bit. When I opened my mug I found it coated in grounds. See attached picture.
Amazing food! Stopped in for lunch, it was busy, but staff was pleasant and food was out in good time. First impressions were great. Will be back for lunch again.
Awesome breakfast options, everything looks and tastes so fresh. Do not leave without trying some of their bakery options
Super positive experience. Wonderful staff welcomed us and truly treated us as guests. Excited to visit again.
Always a fantastic experience! With delicious drinks, food options and desserts. My favorite Coffee House.
Fastest service I’ve ever had hand down. I ordered the lunch special sandwich with pasta salad… fantastic! Will be a new favourite spot for my family for sure!! Wonderful!!
Always crowded when I go but that should tell you lots about the food. Always excellent with great options for soups, sandwiches, wraps, sweet delights and of course coffee. The food always is fresh and served quickly. If you are looking for somewhere quiet, this is not the place to be. Think of a popular New York coffee shop complete with local art for sale on the walls and a line up at the till for both eat in and take out and you will get the idea. If you don't mind the busy ambiance, you will love this place.
love your penny lemonade, it’s my go to whenever i stop by!
They make a delicious rosemary and basil lemonade. Also a great tuna melt.
I’ve know about this place for a few years, but since I’m not a coffee drinker I don’t think about stopping in. That doesn’t matter this place has a good selection of hot and cold beverages. I had a green tea and shared a granola, raisin, oatmeal, square and good thing there was 2 of us. Atmosphere is excellent, staff friendly and helpful, Bread for sandwiches is made in house so the smell when you walk it makes your mouth water. Went back the next day and tried a couple more of the fresh baked food and again was not disappointed. Try this place and warm up this winter.
I found a penny here. Exactly what I expected
I've done some important thinking here, so could you. Ingredients: good coffee, good people, good conversation. Repeat.
The Penny is one of my favourite places to go, they serve very delicious (but messy) caramel macchiatos which is one of my faves, the food and baked goods are delicious, and they display artwork from local artists on the walls! The downside is that it can get very busy and thus loud so you're yell-talking to whoever you're with, and you need to ask staff for bathroom codes, but still would totally recommend this place. It does have its quiet hours but I couldn't quite tell you when those are as I'm not totally local
Best pasta salad I've ever had! Great staff too
Their food and coffee is awesome, and LOVE that they add vibrant colour and culture to our downtown.
They have vegan baked goods sometimes that are really good.
This has been a special place personally for me now going on 19 years… The Penny has always had high quality baked goods, lunch menu items, & of course coffee house beverages. There are other quality coffee houses in Lethbridge but this one is easily my favourite.
Fantastic food and mochas, and even better service! Really great atmosphere and the staff all make such an effort to make sure you’re served well and feel welcome. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
One of my favourite coffee and lunch places in Lethbridge. You pay a little more for food and drinks than you might at a chain restaurant, but the service and food quality are top notch. It gets a little busy around lunchtime, so it can sometimes be tricky to get a table. Their baked goods are delicious and the bread used to make the huge variety of sandwiches is super good. I'm a big fan of the curried tuna melt and their pasta salad! They offer quite a few gluten and dairy and meat free options as well.
This is the best place to study and enjoy a hot chocolate. Don't try to eat your meal in a hurry because the food is amazing and always just the right temperature but if you shove it all in your mouth in an attempt to catch a bus you likely will burn your mouth. 12/10 do recommend the vegan quesadillas and their hot chocolate with whipped cream (this coming from someone who is lactose intolerant).
Amazing pasta salad best you will ever find. Chai is nice and spicy. Lattes are great and amazing latte art and a lot of different milk choices.
Delicious but pricy sandwiches.
I love the atmosphere, quality of food and drinks, and menu selection.
The service was friendly and the cinnamon buns were amazing!
I ordered Ava's vegan quesadilla, it was delicious! A young woman with colours in her hair served me, she was super friendly. It's a really cute cafe.
It's a nice place, good food and great coffee. Just don't get a hot chocolate to go unless you're okay with a cup that's only a half, maybe three quarters full. But as a place to sit in it's a good choice for a cold day where you can enjoy your order at your leisure. The layout inside can feel cramped when busy but if you're in there on a cold day it makes it feel cozier.
The Penny is one of my favourite spots in Lethbridge. They have amazing menu items, terrific drinks, a welcoming atmosphere and the most friendly and thoughtful staff. I love all of their variations of London fogs- my favourite being the Lethbridge mist. Lethbridge is lucky to have the Penny. It is truly the heart of downtown Lethbridge.
Great coffee, pastries and food. Prices comparable to Starbucks. Best cafe in town.
I have been to this cafe twice. Very rustic looking from inside. Love the world map on the ceiling. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. I had a sandwich the first time - turkey, carrots and cranberries is all I remember. Really good. If you are feeling hip today, this the place to be. I would stop in again the next time in Lethbridge.
It is and always has been one of my favorite places in Lethbridge. The vibe is great, staff is great, food is great (especially the pasta salad, it's amazing), drinks are great.
At the height of the lunch bustle, the Penny Coffee House is composed. They get you your food and coffee without too much muss or fuss. A great choice for those who have a 30 minute feeding window. The half sandwich and pasta salad is a killer lunch deal. Thank you Penny for making my lunches easier.
First Canadian cafe I been to and I loved it! My coconut latte was the best I ever had and I was wowed by the design in the foam. I was not expecting that. The lemon bar was the perfect pair. I liked the map on the cieling to. I recommend to anyone who comes to lethbridge.
Great pastries and loved the local artist prints on display. Good hangout for professionals and students more than families though.
Excellent local cafe. Great sandwiches, especially. Decent options for vegetarians, and they are very accommodating, and can do custom orders. This place is often busy, so sometimes have to wait longer than normal for a cafe. I always appreciate that they feature local artist works!
A few of my earliest memories are from The Penny. My Mom used to order a cinnamon bun for me to munch on while she and her girlfriends would gab away over coffee. I was barely tall enough to see over the edge of the table, but thankfully my arms could reach the plate. Having a whole cinnamon bun to myself at just 4 years old was the greatest gift I could imagine. I would stare up at the world map and peer shamelessly at George Costanza's Timeless Art of Seduction hanging on the wall. What can I say, The Penny Coffee House holds a place in my heart and I'm grateful it's still open to this day. 5 Stars.
Was pleased to find a breakfast place that offered vegan options. The prices were reasonable and the food was good. For the most part, the staff were friendly aside from a gentleman working. Will definitely return the next time we are in town.
Great service and you get what you pay for. Plus yummy pastry .
There werent many restaurants opened on family day but luckily Penny coffee house was! I enjoyed a delicious Americano and half sized salad and California blt. They were very well done. In total it came out to be about 18 dollars which is reasonable for a breakfast.
The staff was incredibly friendly. They were very accommodating to the very complicated order we put in. The food was delicious and though I didn't personally try the coffee myself, the person who had it said it was amazing
The Penny is incredible. Their food is delicious, their coffee is perfect nearly every time.
By far the best coffee spot/cafe in the city. Recommend everything on the menu! Though my favs are the California BLT or the spicy grilled cheese. Perfect for breakfast and lunch! London Fogs are also 10/10!
Unique and delicious menu. Local through and through. A special part of downtown.
I love this place. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming-not to mention that they are quite thorough in their covid safe protocols. They routinely sanitize their debits machines between each customer-use and also make sure to provide clean table numbers. I appreciate their concern for our well-being. Thanks to all the Penny staff for providing excellent service!
Food was amazing. *got a wrap* coffee was also amazing! Staff were friendly. Accidentally ordered the wrong wrap at first and they apologized and got me the correct one. Absolutely amazing customer service.
Always love a visit to the Penny Coffee House. The food, drinks, and treat are all delicious. I think by far my favourite thing I have had there is their carrot dill soup.
Love this place.
Coffee, food and service were all great
Small town feel, good service, excellent soups, bread for sandwiches is made fresh in store and are SO good. Deserts were also top notch! Would go back in a heartbeat!
Coffee from here is really good. Always love be to get a cup from here.
Good place to chill and play some checkers with your coffee.
Lunch soups & baking are great. The coffee was OK. Seating indoors is limited since the pandemic but they have added a curbside patio.
Cute cozy place. Not enough seating. Need a time limit for students not eating as they study and use up tables for a long time.
I have been coming here from another city since I was 8, my father insists the hockey bus stops for the next 15 years , then I spent university cramming and de stressing here, now I share it with my daughter. Coffee always fresh and delightful pastries, fresh and local. Staff bubbly friendly and make you feel like you’ve become part of an epic tv series. Then they do something to remind you why this coffee shop feels like a piece of home ???????? in an eat Alberta guide book from way back when and still true. Pasta salad and lemon aid a must !
Cozy Atmosphere, Delicious Coffee, Friendly staff and amazing food! Go get some pasta salad! ????
You can’t go wrong at Penny’s. The staff are wonderful, the coffee great and all the in house delicious food is seriously yummy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I don’t think there are enough words to describe how amazing The Penny is. Everything you could ever want in a coffee house this place has it. The pasta salad is to die for. Amazing BLTs, and other sandwiches. Not sure what is better, the food or the employees ♥️ The London fog is my absolute favourite drink to get, but the sweetened iced tea is also amazing. You are missing out if you have never been!
Great food options and atmosphere. Very friendly staff as well. Only feedback is found the pasta salad a bit too al dente at the time- had nice flavour but could just be my perception, as I seen lots of good reviews for it.
Honestly one of the best places I've been, and the food was amazing!
Worth checking out. A bit busy but nice. With all kinds of different milk options, almond, soy, etc. Vegan options for food. Cold beverages, etc. You can see why this place is so popular.
Delicious and fast friendly service. Sweetest double espresso shot in the world!
Best BLT sandwich i've ever had there, everything is fresh and the staff are friendly
Always a great spot to grab a good bite to eat or a coffee/tea for your busy work day. We sat down and had a delicious snack and tea before we had to head out but the atmosphere was great the music was on point and the neat features throughout. All the artwork on the walls is for sale which is ever cool. I love places that sell stuff in there stores because then their decor is always changing which keeps It very trendy. Thanks team.
I've been going to The Penny since the mid 90s and its always a positive experience. They serve GOOD, simple, delicious food, like you should make it at home... but don't. I just had the most amazing sandwich! I like that you can show up the way you are, after a run, in between errands, or for a business lunch, and feel welcome.
The Penny is one of Lethbridge's greatest assets. The only place I've had a better cup of coffee was in Greece. The sweet chili pretzels are something I still think of as one of the best pieces of baking I've every had, and I haven't been lucky enough to snag one for a couple years. It's worth going out of your way to have a meal here.
Full disclosure - I love the Penny. We drop in every time we're in Lethbridge. Don't tell anyone but they opened BEFORE 7:31 AM this past Saturday. Shhhsh. The Saturday morning is different from the Sunday afternoon gang, but the coffee is top notch and the sandwiches or sweets fresh and tasty. There is always something new to go with your favourite. I admit, I'm not a drip coffee drinker and warn you that if you try a piping hot latte, you may never drink drip again. Enjoy!
Good place to hangout with friends or colleagues
Great pastries ???? and coffee ☕️!!!! On the first visit... On the second visit... emboldened by the first ordered of the grill cheese and ham sandwiches with pickle with a fancy name.. hold the dill sauce please .... Got two slices of bread and a bit of yellow cheddar ... no ham and no pickle ... I guess I must have either been unclear of unheard... I will have to be cautious next time... (and the coffee was not drinkable this time)
The Penny is one of my favourite stops in town. They have fantastic fresh baking, great food choices and awesome drinks! On top of that the staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. My two favourite items are probably the Breakfast Quesadilla and the Pasta Salad, I’d highly recommend! It’s always a good time at The Penny, thank you!
Fantastic selection! Great spot.
I could live here. Great coffee and a trendy vintage vibe. I love coming here and people watching. Why arent there more places like this????
I’ve never in my life been disappointed here. Amazing drinks, amazing sandwiches, amazing pasta salad, and close to so many amazing places to shop. Great pit stop when you’re exploring downtown.
Exceeded my expectations by FAR! Being one of the few places with vegan options in town we decided to just go for a quick bite. The vegan quesadilla was amazing, even my super picky husband loved it. Both our drinks were 5 stars as well. We both left saying we were pleasantly surprised. A must-visit!
Rude & arrogant workers. Have completely ineffective Covid policies requiring every individual to share spoons and touch the same pen, paper and clipboard. I understand the need for contact tracing but other amazing establishments such as Brown's have the waitress fill out the required information to limit transmission. When questioned about policies staff was rude and degrading. I wanted to support local businesses in this time but obviously we were not welcome. We will not be back and will be letting our friends know about the way we were treated.
Nice friendly service! They had someone training while I ordered and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and the coaching I witnessed of the new staff! Great place for a great drink!
It's all about THE Coffee!! Best in Lethbridge!
Great little coffee shop with huge sandwiches.
Great java & Super Staff ☆
Great Americano, excellent food selection.
Had breakfast here twice over the weekend. Love that there are so many milk and milk alternatives choices for coffee and lattes! This will definitely be our go to coffee place when we are in town! Thanks to the staff for a great dining experience!
I love this place!! Great coffee. Good food and an awesome ace to hang out. Get your hands on some sausage rolls!!
The gluten free treats are amazing and their chai blend hits all the perfect notes.
This place is so cute!!! We stopped in for breakfast this morning I had Luke's California blt sandwich and it was delicious my hubby had a rhubarb scone and he really liked it, it was super fresh! The iced tea was really good too.. The service was amazing!! We will definitely be back!!
Delicious food and baked goods. It was hard to just pick one!
Always delicious, so friendly, doing amazing work during pandemic!
Hot day, great chilly drinks.
My favorite place in Lethbridge. Typically come here to do school work and enjoy an Americano. Service is amazing, everyone working here is so nice, and the baked goods are incredible. Cannot praise this place enough.
Great service and food!
Awesome environment and atmosphere! Their food and snacks are to die for and the staff is always super positive and friendly. Would recommend for anyone looking to go on a coffee date or just enjoy times with friends.
Excellent food and drink selection. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. They do a great job of being COVID safe, including providing clean pens and cutlery and sanitizing after every customer. I recommend this establishment to all my friends and family. One of my favourite spots in town!
Lot's of vegan options. The staff is incredible. Some days I walk in and just nod at the chef and my sandwich is ready before I pay or order anything. Top-notch service.
Best pasta salad in town. Sandwiches have tonnes of veggies and fresh hearty bread. Great hot and cold drink options and specials.
The food and service is always top notch! The Luke's Californian BLT is so good!
Great place with gluten free options!
My favourite coffee shop in Lethbridge. Fantastic, friendly staff; delicious sandwiches and pastries; and great drink menu options!
Amazing service, even better food. Thank you for making lunch great!! P.S. this is Merton's (troublemaker) daughter ????????
If you want to get probably just about the best cup of coffee in Lethbridge then this is the place. Coffee is brewed as their quote of the Turkish proverb says 'black as hell, strong as death'. I'm never disappointed when I visit. Love the local art on the walls available to buy and the food is awesome too!! A true 5/5 stars...
Very busy when I went. Very loud and crowded. I understand that it doesn't mean it is always this way and the rating isn't based on this. I like the local art and photography. I have tried the latte and chai. Not very impressed. Tasted watered down. Would love to be able to speak differently about this place. Looks like it has potential. Love me a good coffee shop.
Props to the penny for being one of the only cafes with any decent vegan food options. I am allergic to egg and dairy and this is the only cafe I will go to if I plan on eating, the vegan quesadilla is beautiful and I thank you for it. ❤️
Feels like home, maybe cause I go there way too much haha but it's also because of the staff and atmosphere :)
The best little coffee shop around. Supporting arts and community for many years, the Penny is a cornerstone of downtown. Whether a bohemian or a professional, you'll love this quirky little café
I waited 25 minutes for an Americano. When I finally received it, it tasted like water. I'm not even sure she added espresso to it. I couldn't be bothered to complain because I had already been there for way longer than I had intended.
Just went to pick up my phone order and I believe, the owner, would not serve be because I had no mask. I have a medical exemption, but it is against the law (privacy act) to ask anyone for any personal medical information. They have officially lost another downtown business patronage.
Terrible service and food
The penny coffee house is a great cafe in downtown Lethbridge. They have a cool atmosphere, make yummy coffees, and the pasta salad is out of this world! (seriously, just get it and thank me later)
Excellent coffee beverages, however the breakfast menu was missing some items it seemed.
Been coming here for over 20 years. Love the atmosphere and especially love the espresso shakes.
Love the Americanos and London fogs here! Also have excellent baked treats!
Amazing coffee house! Stopped in for the first time yesterday and ordered a chai latte, daily soup and a Vienna cake slice. All of which were delicious!
Great little place to grab some great food. Lots of fresh baked desserts and good food. The California BLT and the dill pasta salad are my favourites. Would highly recommend.
Enjoyed a morning California BLT and a cuppa Joe. Thanks guys for the wake me up
Visited today with my sister...amazing grilled cheese...with pickles! And my black chai latte...yum yum!
Very friendly service, delicious food and drinks, great menu selection, and an overall wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend!
Great local coffee shop! One of downtown Lethbridge’s must visit establishments!
Love the Penny! I usually go here for coffee with my boyfriend a few times a month. They have incredible food, and vegetarian options which is nice. Very affordable and the staff is always polite. I will say it can be a little dirty, and it tends to quite quite busy, however, it is still a great place to check out. Also, a good place to study.
I have loved this place for the past 29 years! A gem in DOWNTOWN!! Great coffee!! Great food! Great staff! ????
Friendly staff at a small coffee shop environment.
What a great place! My boyfriend & I are in Lethbridge on holidays, and wanted lunch. Great service, delicious tuna melt, pleasant, progressive, friendly, safe atmosphere. Truly a gem in downtown Lethbridge! It's on our list of great places to eat here! You should go!
Delicious coffee, Easy parking and tasty treats! My husband got a BLT which he raved about.
Great checking ID and vax paper work but terrible at maintaing social distancing and still handing out public handles wooden spoons and bums fumbling through coffee lids and sugars.....start taking the public safety concerns seriously.....btw coffee was great after i disenfected the cup
The pastries were delightful...we took it to go...I waited twenty minutes after the other coffee and pastries were served only to get a cold cappuccino of approximately six ounces...30$ plus tip was an expensive lunch for two. They were however very busy and quite understaffed.
A nice cup of tea. Very nice atmosphere.
Warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Pay after you eat. Soup lacks veggies.
Some of the best drinks, baked goods, and lunches in town! Always something new and delicious to try with many gluten free and vegan options!
Food is delicious, lots of different options everyday. Really friendly staff! Takes a while for your order to be ready though which is not ideal if you're on a timed lunch break or just in a hurry in general..
Good food and friendly service
Great food, bread and all baking made in house. All regular coffee is French pressed. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere.
Oh man, where to start? So I loved Penny Coffee House. The staff were open and friendly. I was amazed at the prices, so incredibly affordable. I got a chai tea latte with soy milk. It was delicious. Next time I will try the house chai. You will not be disappointed by your visit to this lovely coffee house.
Always such a great place to go for a coffee date! Staff are wonderful! Food is made fresh! 10/10
This place is amazing!! Absolutely amazing! So so tasty!
Baking is absolutely delicious. Menu is creative and a break from the ordinary.
It's weird, but what I like about Penny's the most is the 60 ' s music & the National Post. The food (& I've tried a variety) is not consistent. Yesterday, the dressing on the spinach salad had changed from balsamic to Italian.....disappointing, & the soups could do with a little pureeing....they always seem too chunky. The one thing I've enjoyed the most has been a capachino....excellent! And there are a variety of deserts to suit every sweet tooth. I do enjoy slipping in there for the vibe.
Don't underestimate how delicious just a regular coffee is at this place. Food is also tasty/high quality, especially the sandwiches and baked goods. A tad pricey but for great food and bev and a lovely atmosphere.
Great little cafe. You really get the 'homemade' feel with the food, and the coffee drinks are excellent. This place is always very busy and I have walked in and left due to not being able to get a seat. That's my only complaint but I can't give them one less star for that.
Just had a coffee, but it was good. My friend had the vegan soup and said it was good
Best pasta salad I've ever had. I will definitely be back
I like the decor and atmosphere. The drinks are simply and tasty with locally roasted coffee. Their sandwiches are amazing, grated carrot has totally changed my sandwich game. Stay cool!
Rude Service. Clearly this business is doing well and isn't looking for new customers. won't be coming back. The young lady at the front till getting mad at the customer in front of me for not wanting to touch the same spoons and paper as the rest of the customers was a nice touch on my experience. its not the customers fault if you have an unsafe covid policy and take it out on customers for asking questions.
