It was a crisp Tuesday morning, and a couple of my friends and I wanted to have brunch. We initially planned to go to A Ladybug Cafe & Bakery; however, it was closed on that day. All ready for brunch, we decided to visit Sweet Life Crepes and Waffles since it was the closest cafe […]

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. […]
Delicious Chinese Pastries at Rainbow Bakery in Chinatown
Rainbow Bakery Calgary is hands down one of my favourite Chinese bakery in Chinatown. This bakery is a nice introduction to Chinese baked goods if you’ve never tried it before.

Kawa Espresso Bar is a cafe and wineshop that is, perhaps, most famous for the latte art produced by their very talented baristas. The other cafes I visited for the crawl… First cafe: Cafe Blanca Second cafe: […]

So, to make it a bit healthier and vegan, I made these vegan whole wheat chocolate chip cookies! My favourite kind of chocolate chip cookies were the […]
Vegan Thai Fix at Hearts Choices Thai Vegan Cafe
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, […]
Vegan Black Bean Brownies with Beets
In pursuit of converting my favourite recipes vegan, I made a healthy but delicious vegan brownie recipe for my vegan and health-minded friends. This brownie is still indulgent and I only make once in a while, but it’s still a healthier step from the traditional brownies. My secret ingredient? Black beans! Black beans act as […]
