Smashburger McKenzie Towne offers good, old-school diner food burgers despite it being a fast food joint. My friend wanted to eat for dinner at a vegan-friendly restaurant near McKenzie Towne/New Brighton, and Smashburger was right there! When you go in, you order & pay at the front counter before you get your food. But it […]

Mango Mania is my new favourite go-to bubble tea/dessert drink cafe in Calgary! The dessert shop opened in Calgary during summer 2016, so it is still relatively new to the Calgary food scene.

Freshly-baked Japanese Pastries at Oguraya Bakery

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 […]
