I had a delightful surprise today when I visited Momentum to pick up lemon bars I had ordered for Easter. Such a delightful way to spend 2 hours, which is how long I chose to sit and savour some peace quiet in the sunshine of the atrium as people came and went around me, buying their lunch, meeting a friend or collecting special lemon orders from the Momentum Cafe. It's not like any other place in Regina that I can think of. You just need to go there and feel the feeling of quiet with a peaceful energy. Just take in the environment, the plants, and look outside and think or not think. I wanted to take it all in after a day of running errands in all parts of the city...nothing too demanding at all but it was nice to sit and people-watch and observe the busy, dedicated people working at the Cafe, greeting people graciously and chatting, preparing food and putting finishing touches on cakes for the Easter weekend. I enjoyed their last bowl of curry lentil soup, and it was so good. The cinnamon bun I took home for my husband was eaten quite fast and I told him he was lucky to see it at all. He said it was very good. I liked sitting in that atrium and blending into the background but seeing so much. Parking was close by and have some toonies handy for the meter. The Momentum is in the big building on the University of Regina grounds with the huge disc on it's roof, just off the Parkway. It's ridiculous that it took me so long to visit this cafe, but now that I have, I would like to return. Maybe next week. The menu has a selection that is chosen with thought and creativity. A soup or two. Interesting sandwiches. Sweets. Baking. All freshly made. Other things that I can't recall. Great place to have a leisurely lunch with a friend. I hear the coffee is very good and I'll have that next time...excellent coffee is always my goal. Thank you to CJ Katz for bringing a place like this to our city. Thank you to the staff who make a customer want to return.

Momentum Cafe is an absolute gem—a cozy, vibrant spot that’s constantly reinventing itself in the most delicious ways. One of the standout features is their incredibly creative weekly menu. It’s never the same twice, and that’s part of the magic. Whether it’s a seasonal twist on a classic dish or something completely unexpected, they always manage to deliver bold flavors and inventive combinations that feel fresh and exciting. Their pastries are the stuff of dreams—flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection. The cookies are rich and indulgent, the cinnamon rolls are gooey and generously spiced, and the cakes are downright drool-worthy. You can tell everything is made with care and a true passion for baking. And then there’s the coffee—seriously next level. The selection is out of this world, offering everything from expertly brewed classics to creative specialty drinks. Whether you’re in the mood for a silky flat white or a bold pour-over, Momentum never misses. What makes this place even more special is the story behind it. CJ, the owner, has cooked on television and brought that same passion and flair to this cafe. You can taste the expertise and love in every dish and cup. Momentum is one of those hidden gems that most people might not know about yet, but it’s absolutely worth taking the time to discover. Customer service is exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The staff make you feel right at home, always happy to share recommendations or simply chat about the day’s offerings. It’s clear they care just as much about the experience as they do the food and coffee. If you’re in the area—or even if you’re not—it’s worth going out of your way to check it out. Momentum Cafe is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Was looking for a soup & sandwich cafe, and this place fit the bill! The “lunchbox special” provided a soup or salad, cookie and wrap/sandwich for less than $20. There was a weekly menu, with different daily specials. The food and drinks were very good & fresh. The meal was ready is 5-10 minutes.

The atmosphere at Momentum is something I appreciate lots. Their location has a massive window where you can get a dose of nice sunshine and the place is surrounded by plants as well. I love the food and the coffee! I ordered an iced latté and a Tuscan Princess sandwich, and they were delicious! I wish I ordered some pastries as well since they have a nice assortment!
