This Calgary coffee shop offers "pay-what-you-feel" drip coffee

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

Their menu includes an $8 salad of the day and other reasonably priced sandwiches and treats.
If coffee isn’t your thing, you can also enjoy a whole pot of tea for $5!
It’s not just the snacks that are drawing people to this coffee shop. Congress Coffee is an active hub for local events with a similar price-of-admission philosophy to their drip coffee.
“Congress believes in paying artists, but also believes in accessible arts! If any of our cover charges are a barrier for your entry, please come anyway, and pay what you feel. If you can pay the suggested door price – great!! All money collected for shows goes directly to the artists,” reads their website.
