Clearly, the owners Mark Nolan and Paul Brassard want you to associate their café with luxurious, refined brand - but a car from the 50s? Only in your subconscious. Named for Brassard's fascination with his father's namesake coupe, he thought it to be the ultimate in luxury. Thus a name more original than the Common Ground was born.

The Plus 15, connecting many of the buildings in Calgary together, starts with Art Central. There, on the upper level, and a hot point for commuters, you will find deVille Luxury Coffee and Pastries. Though the owners' careers really belong to the finance and IT world, they recruited some help to make their coffee better than the next guy.

Flying in Arthur Wen, the World Barista Championship judge, he put them, and their employees through cappuccino boot camp. As Nolan said, "I had to pour 25 shots before I got it right. It's all about the right grind, texturing the milk without too much air." And the added touch of coffee art; a heart on your latte always impresses.

Reverse osmosis anyone? With dozens of lights littering the ceiling, and the science-heavy production, you may feel as though you are at a school science fare in this café. But it is worth is. All of the water - for the coffee machine, ice, and tap - is purified to bring out the best flavour of the beans.

The café clearly focuses on quality, which is why they partnered with Calgary's Saint Germain for pastries and other food. Deserts and pastries such as white chocolate and blueberry scones, or walnut tart with a maple crème anglaise satisfy a sweet tooth. Lunch options include puff pastry filled with brie, tomatoes, and goat cheese.
