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 […]

Getting Comfortable at The Coffee Couch
The Coffee Couch is one of a few local cafes in NE Calgary that offers a nice atmosphere and good coffee. I first saw The Coffee Couch when I visited Village Pita Bakery since it was nearby. My friend and I decided to meet up, and decided to meet up here–two birds with one stone. […]
Getting Cozy at Evelyn’s Coffee Bar in Banff
Besides taking a break from the monotony of daily unemployed life, I wanted to go to Banff to go cafe-hopping. In this effort, I stumbled upon Evelyn’s Coffee Bar in downtown Banff.

Excellent Breakfast & Brunch at Dairy Lane Cafe

Blue square tables with a metal rim, leather seats, big […]

Tasty Brunch at Sweet Life Crepes and Waffles
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 […]
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. […]
