Hearts Choices Thai Vegan Cafe is a vegan paradise in Calgary if you are itching for Asian and Thai cuisine. This is somewhat of a self-serve restaurant. The counter people provide the food, but you clear your own plates and serve your own water. While they don’t offer everything on their menu in the website, […]
Cozy and Comfortable at Velvet Cafe
Velvet Cafe in the northwest part of the city is a small, cozy and local cafe that provides an alternative to Calgary’s (arguably) more famous, retro and hipster cafes.

Elegant Eating at Alforno Bakery and Cafe
Alforno Bakery and Cafe is not like other cafes in Calgary; I feel like it’s more than just a cafe. It’s like a cafe, a restaurant, a bakery and a bar all in one! It is such an elegant cafe in the heart of Downtown Calgary, although I’d describe it as a restaurant instead. Interestingly, […]

I have seen Baya Rica before on Zomato and Yelp, but I’ve always decided to skip it in favour of the nearby Starbucks. With a newfound interest in local and independent cafes, I decided to finally visit this cafe today. […]
