After researching for new (and cheap) places to eat at in NE Calgary, I decided to visit Village Pita Bakery, which is highly rated on Zomato. Village Pita Bakery is located near Marlborough, and it’s a bit out of the way for most people. It’s also located in a small strip mall that contained other […]

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 […]
Bubble Tea at Chatime in Chinatown
Chatime in Chinatown Calgary offers customizable bubble teas so you can make your perfect drink! This location in Chinatown was the first branch of the popular chain bubble tea shop in Calgary. To be honest, I didn’t know that Chatime was a chain when it first opened around May 2015. I thought it was just […]
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 […]

Opening in the 1950s, Dairy Lane Cafe has been a fixture in Hillhurst and in Calgary for more than 60 years! The day that my […]
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 […]

Elegant Pizza at Posto Pizzeria and Bar
When I was working at Husky during my internship last year, I frequented Holy Grill on 10th Ave for lunch, just around the corner from Posto, which I never had the chance to try it. Today, during the lunch hour, I decided to finally try Posto Pizzeria and Bar. My cousin and I arrived at […]
