I LOVE farmers’ markets. I love talking to local vendors and farmers, I love the busyness and activity, and I love trying out new food! Of course, the Bridgeland Riverside Farmers’ Market was no exception. In Calgary, outdoor farmers’ markets are seasonal, usually appearing between June and October. After half a year of winter, Calgarians […]
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 […]

Diner Fare with a Twist at Burger 320 in Kensington
After spending a day in Kensington, I was hungry for food and stumbled upon an eatery I haven’t tried before: Burger 320. Burger 320 offers typical diner fare (think burgers, fries, milkshakes), but with a twist. The Calgary-born owner, Chef Mario, translates his Italian heritage and Prairie beginnings to his menu. For example, the Cavallari […]
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. […]
Sso Yummy is a Hidden Korean Gem in Chinatown
On my quest to find little gems in Chinatown, I stumbled upon this Korean food stall hidden in the basement of the one of the street malls called Sso Yummy. Sso Yummy is obsurely located and you wouldn’t find it if you just look from the outside. There are no signs whatsoever outside indicating its […]
