675 2 St SE, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 0C8, Canada
I’ve visited this charming cafe many times. The food is always wonderfully prepared and fresh, the coffee is decent and quickly refilled. It’s a great place for our book club to meet or for me and a friend to have a quiet lunch. The artwork spread throughout is local and wonderful to buy for something new at home, or as a gift for a dear friend.
Very nice place for a light lunch. The sparkling rhubarb lemonade was tart and flavorful. Broccoli soup was creamy and seasoned perfectly. I also had a shortbread cookie, tasted like Christmas. The staff was friendly and attentive. I’m looking forward to trying more food on my next visit.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
Enjoyed a hot pot of Bella Coola tea. Unique cafe, great service, and although I've been here previously, I fully anticipate coming back.
Great food , good area downtown and parking. Friendly staff.

Very good food, the store always seems to be a bit busy but they still manage to make you feel welcome
Absolutely delicious food! Came in on recommendations from coworkers while in town working. Food
We love their meat pies! Since we live in Edmonton we will stock up when we are in Medicine Hat to bring some home to enjoy later.
Very nice food and everything! 10 out of 10 would recommend 100%!
Went to this Cafe during Midnight Madness. The food was great and the staff were super friendly. Definitely will go again.
Loved it great service excellent food and environment.
Had a great London fog, they do coffee but no lattes unfortunately. Nice location and very interesting decor, next time Im there Ill definitely try one of their lemonades.
The soups are great and there seems to be lots of different flavours which is also great.
Lovely atmosphere and the staff is also lovely and great service!
Excellent food, wonderful staff
Really cool place, feels very calm and there is lots of different art to look at. The food/drinks were also fresh & tasty!
My favourite place for lunch! A bit pricy but worth every penny.
Food is great. Very friendly staff. *update...Food is still great, staff are too!
Have had breakfast and lunch here a couple times and the food and staff are incredible! I cant believe it took us this long to find such a great cafe
Live jazz great food friendly service

Great service and amazing breakfast. I really liked the home made jam. Everything was so good!
Great food and the friendliest staff. :)
I enjoyed the Chicken Pot Pie. Nice historic downtown. Wheelchair accessibility: Looked good.
We went for lunch..it was very good as usual. The service is always good. We will continue to go there for lunches as prices are also reasonable.
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.
Great food great service. Portions a little small but im a big eater!
Small cozy and just relaxing vibes all around loved it
Very good pot pie!!!
Awesome people. Delicious food!
Great Service, great food, great location
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...
Inspiring space indeed, full of excellent artwork and connected to a neat atelier, loved it! And the rhubarb lemonade was perfect.
Great place for freshly baked local food and Coffee. A must see place for gatherings and Venus. I have been having breakfast here for years, the staff is very friendly and are always smiling. They keep the place is clean and always great you warmly. I fully support this location and so should you.
Amazing, carrot cake very yummy. Food good.
Great. Lovely artsy cafe Excellent soup and sandwich. Yum
Nice people in a nice place doing nice the things!
Very nice place, good atmosphere and staff. Quick service .
great food!!
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.
Nice for lunch. Great pies.
Very nice atmosphere with great staff and food. Hope to do a return visit.
Love the food. Love the people who run it. Love the chocolate cake. Such a great place for a lunch date with friends. Just remember the parking is two hours so set a timer. Who wants a ticket as a close to their great afternoon?
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 theres always something to look at. I dont think I have anything bad to say about this place.
Love the pies!
Good food and lots of art work to see and buy if you want. Good service
Great Owners Great Staff Great Food served in a Historical Building
Lovely atmosphere, great service, excellent food. A little gem in downtown Medicine Hat. I highly recommend it.
fantastic Cafe, beautiful art work!
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! PS: the building is over a century old and very interesting also. We have been twice and will be back. Bobby and Tony
Food and service was good. Portion size was enough to be content without being stuffed. Building has a lot of history.
Anice place for coffe or lunch. The food is fresh and well presented. The cost is on the medium side but the sandwich I had was filling and tasted very good. I would return.
Wonderful place amazing food and a very cozy environment
Best gluten free peanut butter cookie ever!!!Thanks Louise!
Cozy and cute - friendly staff and beautiful pastries!
I have always had great food here, the icing on the brownies is to die for.
Amazing food, I think this place would be a great place to go for St. Patricks day dinner.
Nice atmosphere. Id probably not order any baking later in the day again. Bit dried out. But will give them another try
Fresh and delicious
Best place to grab lunch downtown.
A delightful cafe. One of the best Chai teas I have ever had. The environment was relaxing. The food looked amazing, and the price was right.
Ill be back for sure !!
Nice place, good food, good friends
Super nice place. Coffee is delicious, orange tea is really good. The owner has been very welcoming. The place is stunning. Art everywhere. Totally recommended!!!!
Coffee and cake with brother 14000 mile round trip will be back

Coffee wasnt hot and the food is only okay.
The only place downtown I can get a gluten and dairy free soup and sandwich. Great food. Thanks!
Truly inspired by inspiration cafe
Great food and service
Great food and beautiful artwork throughout. They sometimes have live music.
Great food and service as always. One of my favorite places in Medicine Hat.
Cool artsy feel. Good food. Occasional local entertainment
Great food, attached to a gallery with lots to see & buy.
Friendly service and consistently delicious food. A definite lunch favourite.
Nice aura of the store.. good coffee I ve got .. and the muffin it s so delicious , warm and fresh , smooth and tasty .. so I love the blueberry muffin here the sweet bread crumble on the top of muffin .. highly recommend ..
food is bad service is bad. Never going there again.
Such a cozy, welcoming cafe. Food was fresh and delicious. Great place to go for a soup and sandwich or just sit , drink coffee and visit with friends.
Service was great, coffee was so so, but dont you dare ask about vegan options.
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!
Awesome food, great atmosphere and pleasant/ friendly staff!!
Has great food. There is an art camp taught there in which i attended. It was really well taught and was worth the money.
Excellent attention Andrés good
Inspire always has the best snacks if youre sneaking away for a break or its 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!
Nice place for lunch, good soup, tasty sandwiches. Worth to visit sometime
Quaint, quiet, and quick. Possibly the best Cafe in the hat, and not just for there food either. I love the moments when no ones 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!
Pop in at least weekly for lunch. Never disappointed. Always quick friendly service.
Such an amazing place the most terrific art classes I ever had and you get to hear lovely live music while you paint away
A fine lunch with friends
Love to come here! Always friendly atmosphere! A big choice in vegeterian options! Food always taste great!
Great place for lunch. Staff are friendly and the food is always cooked fresh. They do the best BLT ever and the homemade soup is always good. Love this place.
I have a 3-4 chance rule for any cafe or restaurant, maybe its just staff, a bad day, or a slim chance it happened to me :^ But after a while ... its evident thats its 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 dont 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 dont leave my gear in the vehicle for the 2nd or 3rd timel she still continued to berate us as if we were children that couldnt 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 didnt 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 womans 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 wasnt to my liking, each visit consisted in disappointment, I tried really hard to order different things, and with different friends ....... but Ive 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 wont be back =/ Ill stick with Station House and Cafe Verve , you can taste the quality in their goods
For a light lunch and gallery style atmosphere this is a choice spot.
Cute cafe and art gallery, part of Medicine Hats downtown art walk. Serve only drip or French press coffee no specialty coffees. Desserts are divine.
Very cool place. Good food, great deserts. Great coffee and an interesting little beer selection!
Lively atmosphere, great music and food!
Excellent little spot for lunch. Nice to see this type of cafe in Medicine Hat.
The soup was really good.
Amazing food! Great service, quality, and selection. You feel like family when youre here. If you havent been.... You need to.
My favorite place in town. Great food and great art for sale.
Great food, great prices, great service
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. Super supper special is a good size homemade soup, a decent size entrée with salad of choice and a piece of homemade cake, and a ticket to Monarch Theatre all for $17.00!!!! What a deal!
Delicious in house made food and a reasonable price.
Great meal! food was awesome! the Lemonade was the best in the city! the live music that night was great! wonderful place, great charm and atmosphere a must see place!!
Moscow Mule. Ask for it. Say hi for me too. If you are in a caffeine mood, their French presses are always locally roasted beans. Yum.
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 youre there, eat a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich.... <-- Drool.
Great Service and Great Food. Sense Inspire openned they have provided such a experience for all of there customers and they always have something new going. Fully recommend them to anyone looking for some where new to try.
Cant beat the cafes cinnamon rolls, fresh muffins and Danish. Coffee is ever flowing which is a big plus. Friendly staff. Love to gaze and appreciate the art displays.
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.
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!
