Flipp’n Burgers Kensington had so much hype but my visit was pretty mediocre. I’ve heard so much about this place through people and social media before so it’s always been in my food bucket list in Calgary. Plus, they are very accommodating to vegans & vegetarians in Calgary with their veggie burgers. So, I decided […]

Brunchin’ at The Bro’kin Yolk
The Bro’kin Yolk is another great spot in Calgary for your breakfast and brunch needs! The Brokin’ Yolk is owned by two brothers (hence, “Bro”), with the goal of making you feel part of the family while you eat there (hence, “kin”). Eggs are their featured item and key ingredient in the menu, hence “yolk.” […]
Awesome Tropical Drinks at Mango Mania
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. However, it’s since quickly become a gem in the dessert drink shop game. My sister and cousin brought me here for the […]
Retro Cafe at Vintage Caffeine Co in Kensington
After eating brunch at the wildly popular Dairy Lane Cafe, we decided to have coffee at a newly-opened cafe that was so raved about called Vintage Caffeine Co. Walking into Vintage Caffeine Co., it reminded me a bit of Philosafy Coffee on 17th Ave, perhaps because both are new hipster cafes with wooden accents and […]

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 […]

Diner Fare with a Twist at Burger 320 in Kensington
After spending a day in Kensington, I was hungry for food and stumbled upon an eatery I haven’t tried before: Burger 320. Burger 320 offers typical diner fare (think burgers, fries, milkshakes), but with a twist. The Calgary-born owner, Chef Mario, translates his Italian heritage and Prairie beginnings to his menu. For example, the Cavallari […]
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. […]
