Southcentre Mall: Best things to eat and drink at the Calgary shopping centre
The incredible food options at Southcentre Mall have to be the most fun part of going shopping there.
Before, during, or after a stressful shop, treating yourself to a wonderful meal makes it all worth it, but deciding what to choose can be overwhelming.
Some of the best food spots in the mall are in the food court, at opposite ends, or even hidden inside the stores. Knowing the best places to grab a bite or a drink is a must when entering the busy frenzy inside. CF Chinook Centre and CrossIron Mills have some great places to eat, but our focus here is on another massive shopping centre.

Analog Coffee is one of the best coffee shops in Calgary (even if you want to break up with someone).
Even though it continues to grow, every Analog Coffee does feel like a neighbourhood cafe, with talented baristas who have friendly smiles and remember your order. The breakfast sandwiches, lunch wraps, and baked goods are all must-orders.

Located in the food court is Hula, bringing good vibes to anyone who visits.
This Hawaiian-themed food spot has several different kinds of poke bowls with various flavours to choose from to completely make your own. Any of these poke bowls are worth trying because they’ll be created by you, but make sure to order a Wai Tai (fruit-infused coconut water) on the side.

This hidden gem isn’t in a store, shop, or food court; it is a vending machine along the wall waiting to be discovered. From the mind of the famous Cake Boss, this vending machine has massive slices of freshly baked cakes to try at the push of a button. Flavours can change, but the delicious signature Rainbow Slice can’t be missed.
