Wise and Wright is a simple and health-conscious cafe that serves tasty, decent food. 🙂 This cafe is one that emphasizes fresh, healthy and natural ingredients in their food. Wise and Wright’s menu caters heavily to health-conscious eaters, and they offer a lot of meals for vegans (yay!). They also have a bunch of different […]

Hanging Out at Phil and Sebastian Stephen Ave
Phil and Sebastian Stephen Ave is a new cafe in downtown, and it’s soooo very pretty. It’s new, clean and a great place to hang out! I just happened to bump into this location as I was strolling along Stephen Ave while waiting for a friend. At the time, I didn’t even realize that Phil […]

Delicious Dinner at Via Cibo 14th Street
Via Cibo 14th Street serves delicious Italian street food-inspired dishes in the cozy comfort of a restaurant. We went to Via Cibo on a Tuesday evening (around 6PM), and the restaurant wasn’t too busy or noisy. There are also many tables and seats, so you shouldn’t have to wait for a table. When we arrived, […]

Burgers and (over-the-top) Milkshakes at REGRUB
REGRUB (RE:GRUB) is a small eatery along the Beltline that is quite famous for their extreme milkshakes with crazy toppings! So, this restaurant’s name is puzzling to me. Their website title is #REGRUB, they refer to themselves as RE:GRUB, the restaurant says RE:GЯUB, and their Facebook page says REGRUB. WHICH IS IT?? We came to […]
Amazing Space at Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters in Marda Loop
From photos online, Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters in Marda Loop looks like a fancy place, and it did not disappoint! The cafe is exquisite, with awesome baristas and atmosphere. I’ll say it: I’ve never been to any Phil & Seb before. I know, I know…such blasphemy! For those who don’t know, Phil & Sebastian […]

A Very Filling Pakistani Dinner at Mirchi
Every time I walk along 8th Street on the way to 17th Avenue, I always pass by Mirchi on 12th Avenue, a seemingly popular Pakistani cuisine restaurant on the Beltline. Tonight, I was able to finally try this eatery! We came to Mirchi for dinner (on a Saturday), and was surprisingly full. It’s a small, […]
A (Much) Bigger Monogram Coffee Downtown
Monogram Coffee in Altadore is one of the best cafes in Calgary, and for those centrally-located, there is now a Monogram Coffee Downtown location! The cafe is located in Fifth Avenue Place (office building), so to cater to downtown clients, it must have a lot of tables and seating. So, unlike its Altadore location, the […]
French Pastries at Sucre Patisserie and Cafe
Sucre Patisserie and Cafe is the latest newcomer (as of November 9, 2016) to the vibrant cafe scene in Calgary! And it is a welcomed addition with its French pastries and excellent coffee! I first heard about Sucre when I saw that it would be opening soon when I ate lunch at Posto Pizzeria and […]

International Street Food at The Street Eatery
Update — April 24, 2017 I was invited by the owner to come to The Street Eatery after they forcibly closed during the winter of 2016/2017. And this time was better than the first. TASTE: Good. My mughlai veg naan rola was really delicious! I loved the complex mix of flavours in that dish—sweet, tangy, salty […]
Freshly-baked Japanese Pastries at Oguraya Bakery
Oguraya Bakery is a bakery that specializes in authentic Japanese sweets, which is one of only a few in Calgary. After going to the Calgary Greek Festival 2016, my cousin and I wandered around the area, and found this small bakery tucked across the Greek Orthodox Church. When we went in, it looked so dilapidated […]
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 […]
Nitrogen Ice Cream at Nice Cream Calgary
Nice Cream Calgary is the first nitrogen ice cream shop in Calgary, in which liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the cream. It was a shock that that the shop was empty when we got there! Well, granted that it was a Sunday afternoon. Liquid nitrogen is a new popular fad for ice cream. The […]
