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.

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

Everything seems hipster: the obscure location in southwest, the hole-in-the-wall venue, the wood decor, the incandescent lightbulbs (maybe?) and the homemade almond-cashew milk. And I am in heaven~ I like to consider myself to be a bit of a hipster: vegan, […]

A Ladybug Bakery and Cafe has been in my “food bucket list” for a while now, but I haven’t had the chance to visit it. That changes today, when my friends and I decided to visit this cafe for lunch! For a cafe of this size, the selection of their all-day breakfast and lunch is […]
