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 […]

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: […]
