Last Monday had a beautiful Americano at Insomnia. Wherever they are sourcing their blend of beans, it made for a very flavorful coffee drink. The next morning, my last day in Calgary, I had to come back again, this time trying the non-caffeinated…More »

Great place to grab a morning cup. I came out of the summer morning drizzle, and got a beautiful maccha latte, a great example of the coffee drink art magic worked by the baristas at this establishment. My local friend remarked to me that he enjoyed…More »

Just about every time I'm in town, I make a stop at Santa Barbara Roasting Company. For starters, WiFi is important, to take my mind off the road for awhile and to let me catch up with all the email and conversations I've missed for the past several…More »

I discovered this place via Yelp, and it turned out to hold the most decadent treats of my stay in Calgary. In looking at the case in the front of the place, I spied the butter tarts. And if that wasn't enough for an afternoon snack, I paired it with…More »

Have to say this is probably one of the better coffee house names I've encountered in a long long time. There's truly substance behind this name as well. My friend had a blended mocha drink, which he really liked because of all of the depth of…More »
