The Coffee Couch is one of a few local cafes in NE Calgary that offers a nice atmosphere and good coffee. I first saw The Coffee Couch when I visited Village Pita Bakery since it was nearby. My friend and I decided to meet up, and decided to meet up here–two birds with one stone. […]

Authentic Mexican Food at Sabores
Sabores in Market on Macleod offers excellent service with delicious food, at a price that’s won’t necessarily break the bank. Market on Macleod is a year-round farmers’ market that have various stalls ranging from produce to ethnic food to artists. I was first introduced to this place by my Indonesian friend, and I fell in […]
Lunch at Deville Coffee on Stephen Avenue
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 […]

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, […]
