announcement: we are closing on april 26, 2026
Dear friends & beloved customers,
After 8+ beautiful years of serving you delicious vegan meals and countless cups of coffee, our journey as one of Calgary’s first fully vegan cafes will come to an end April 26, 2026.
When we first opened up as a fully vegan Korean-fusion cafe in 2018, we had no idea how it would turn out or whether we could succeed in this city. Since then, our little plant-based cafe became and remained a proud member of the vegan community here in Calgary (and even survived a pandemic!), thanks to our amazing customers and the generous backing and support of our building @theacademy_yyc ❤️
Thank you so much to everyone that have dined with us, ordered from us, spread the word and supported us throughout the years 🥹 Whether you were a passing traveller who once stopped by for a bite, or a regular who knows exactly what to order every time, we are incredibly grateful for this wonderful community that has allowed this small family business (mother daughter duo, to be exact!) to flourish.
After many years of hard work, Vera (Mama Lee) is finally retiring 🥰 and I (Rose) will be continuing my vegan content creation through @cheaplazyvegan and hosting vegan group trips with @lazyvegantravel - if you would like to follow along the journey beyond the cafe 😄
Right now, we are working on something special to leave a little piece of our cafe behind. We will share updates on this soon!
But it’s not goodbye just yet! We’ll remain open during our regular hours until end of April- so feel free to stop by before our doors close to grab a bite, a drink or maybe just a slice of our famous banana bread 😉
Once again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone for these 8 unforgettable years ❤️
Sincerely,
Rose, Vera & the SaVeg Cafe Team
