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. The bakery is located inside Dragon City Mall in Chinatown, and they’re usually open the whole week (except Mondays). The store itself is quite messy, […]

Matcha Soy Latte at Kawa Espresso Bar
On my third (and final) cafe for today’s cafe hopping, I decided to go to Kawa Espresso Bar. 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: […]
Decent Italian-style Coffee at Caffe Artigiano on 6th Ave
In my second cafe of the cafe-hopping, I visited Caffe Artigiano on 6th Ave, a chain cafe from British Columbia.

The other cafes I visited for the crawl… First cafe: Cafe Blanca Third (and […]

Elegant Eating at Alforno Bakery and Cafe
Alforno Bakery and Cafe is not like other cafes in Calgary; I feel like it’s more than just a cafe. It’s like a cafe, a restaurant, a bakery and a bar all in one! It is such an elegant cafe in the heart of Downtown Calgary, although I’d describe it as a restaurant instead. Interestingly, […]
Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro is Expensive but Delicious
My friend Max and I follow this guy (Calgaryism) on Instagram a while back, and he always posts his meals at Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro. Inspired, we made it our goal to eat at Monki at least once in our life…and today was the day! Monki is one of the most raved breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant […]
