This Calgary coffee shop offers “pay what you feel” drip coffee

If you're struggling to make ends meet and have to give up your daily coffee, one Calgary coffee shop might still be in your budget.

Congress Coffee is located in the northeast of the city and is a true community, with everything from an affordable menu to a variety of well-regarded shows and events.

What sets this place apart from the down-to-earth, local vibes is its pay-as-you-go drip coffee, making it a truly accessible place for everyone.

Their daily menu includes $8 salads and other reasonably priced sandwiches and desserts.

If coffee isn't your thing, you can enjoy a pot of tea for $5!

It's not just the snacks that attract people to this coffee shop. Congress Coffee is a vibrant hub for local events.

“Congress believes in paying artists, but also believes in affordable art! If any of our insurance charges prevent you from entering, come anyway and pay your way. If you can pay the suggested door price – great!! All the money collected for the shows goes to the artists,” says their website.

Their list of events includes everything from art and drag shows to musical performances. You can see the full list of what's planned here.
