Deville Coffee on Stephen Avenue is a popular cafe in Downtown Calgary, that is possibly most famous for their Nutella lattes. I decided to visit Deville for lunch after visiting Fiesta Filipino at Olympic Plaza earlier that day. Unfortunately for me, most Filipino dishes are meat-based, so I ventured around to find a place to […]

Getting Cozy at Evelyn’s Coffee Bar in Banff
Besides taking a break from the monotony of daily unemployed life, I wanted to go to Banff to go cafe-hopping. In this effort, I stumbled upon Evelyn’s Coffee Bar in downtown Banff. After walking around in downtown Banff and taking photos, I decided that I couldn’t stand the chill any longer (it was a chilly […]
Comfortable at Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave
Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave is the second location of the Calgary-based roaster. Starting off only as a cafe (called Caffe Rosso), Rosso branched out and started roasting their own coffee beans in 2012 and thus became “Rosso Coffee Roasters.” One of the underlying principles in Rosso is that they want to make everything […]
Retro Cafe at Vintage Caffeine Co in Kensington
After eating brunch at the wildly popular Dairy Lane Cafe, we decided to have coffee at a newly-opened cafe that was so raved about called Vintage Caffeine Co. Walking into Vintage Caffeine Co., it reminded me a bit of Philosafy Coffee on 17th Ave, perhaps because both are new hipster cafes with wooden accents and […]
Old School Coffeehouse at Caffe Beano
There’s a cafe on 17th Avenue that is highly reminiscent of old-school diners and coffeehouses called Caffe Beano. Cafe Beano is a quaint and local cafe frequented by locals, and my first impression was that it reminded me of drive-in diners from those 60s movies. Blue square tables with a metal rim, leather seats, big […]
Monogram Coffee in Altadore is The Most Hipster Cafe in Calgary
In all honestly, Monogram Coffee in Altadore is the most hipster cafe in Calgary. Everything seems hipster: the obscure location in southwest, the hole-in-the-wall venue, the wood decor, the incandescent lightbulbs (maybe?) and the homemade almond-cashew milk. And I am in heaven~ I like to consider myself to be a bit of a hipster: vegan, […]

Coffee & Lunch at A Ladybug Bakery and Cafe
A Ladybug Bakery and Cafe has been in my “food bucket list” for a while now, but I haven’t had the chance to visit it. That changes today, when my friends and I decided to visit this cafe for lunch! For a cafe of this size, the selection of their all-day breakfast and lunch is […]

Tasty Brunch at Sweet Life Crepes and Waffles
It was a crisp Tuesday morning, and a couple of my friends and I wanted to have brunch. We initially planned to go to A Ladybug Cafe & Bakery; however, it was closed on that day. All ready for brunch, we decided to visit Sweet Life Crepes and Waffles since it was the closest cafe […]
Delicious Locally-Roasted Coffee at Kienna Cafe
Opening in April 2016, Kienna Cafe is the flagship cafe of the locally-Calgarian, Kienna Coffee Roasters. One of my new hobbies during the weekends is to visit cafes, sip coffee and catch up on my blog. I feel like I’ve been going to too many restaurants and cafes more than I can pump out blog […]
Organic Coffee at Higher Ground Cafe
If you’re a coffeephile and caféphile like me, you will love Higher Ground Cafe in Kensington. Aside from Inglewood and 17th Avenue, Kensington completes the trio of Calgary’s “hipster neighbourhoods.” These are centres of hipster culture and arts in Calgary, and where young people flock for fad foods. Higher Ground isn’t one of those fads. […]
Peerless Pearl Tea Shop – Excellent Tea in Chinatown
After spending a Saturday afternoon walking around in Prince’s Island, we decided to head to Chinatown to get bubble tea/pearl milk tea since it was a pretty hot day. On the way to our go-to shop (Chatime), we saw a shop called “Peerless Pearl Tea Shop” and so we stopped by to try it. I’ve […]
Matcha Soy Latte at Kawa Espresso Bar
On my third (and final) cafe for today’s cafe hopping, I decided to go to Kawa Espresso Bar. Kawa Espresso Bar is a cafe and wineshop that is, perhaps, most famous for the latte art produced by their very talented baristas. The other cafes I visited for the crawl… First cafe: Cafe Blanca Second cafe: […]
