1. Taste Buds & Company Cafe - CLOSED
Calgary, AB T2P 0N3
(403) 264-7117
This place used to be a downtown favorite, located conveniently on a corner near some office buildings and apartments. They were known for their uniqueness in offering a wide range of food varieties, more than the typical coffeeshop. There was even a…More »
2. Elixir Fine Tea - CLOSED
I am saddened to hear the news of the closing, because I know Andrew's teahouse was the most beloved in Kensington. People even came from out of Calgary for his popular service. His friendly smile & clever conversation will always be remembered :)

I really like this teahouse in Kensington, despite the fact that there are like 7 other teahouses… Read more »
3. East Side Mario's - CLOSED
Rob & I got to enjoy this Chinook location at least once, so we're grateful for that. The waitress was fairly friendly, and we got free salad and free bread, we were almost too full to order after that lol. The decor was very "New York". When we…More »
4. M.T. Tucker's
Rob & I went here the one time, and I truthfully didn't enjoy it (personal reasons) but that's not the point.
I am writing this for those of you who looked up M.T. Tucker's out of curiosity. Just wanted to let you know it officially closed in January…More »
5. Ricky's All Day Grill
This appears to be the one that was previously located in Market Mall's foodcourt. I had always wanted to go check it out, since I was fascinated by seeing a whole restaurant amongst others that were just "walk-up counters". We finally decided to try…More »
6. Megatunes - CLOSED
Rob & I used to come here on occasion, when we were along 17th Ave SW. My hubby, being an avid music collector, was saddened by the news of this closure. However, for those of your 'other avid music collectors', there is still Hot Wax in Kensington,…More »
7. Chicago Franks
One of three restaurants, from the Bay downtown, that has closed within the last year. They may have been best-known for their chocolate malt drinks :d
As well, if you remember the big, sprawling 'Chinook Buffet' from the 6th level of the Bay…More »
8. Christian Publications
Not trying to make this company look bad, as I only mean this to be helpful to you (the reader). Rob & I recently went here, only to find it all closed up, nothing inside, and plastic sheets hanging in the window. It's not the easiest place to get…More »
9. Telus World of Science - CLOSED
This has been one of my favorite places since childhood. I remember when it was called the "Planetarium" and even when it was called "the Calgary Science Centre".
I have always enjoyed the interactive, hands-on exhibits. Also, this centre has a very…More »
10. San Francisco Gifts
Calgary, AB T2A 2K2
(403) 207-0147
*sniff, sob* This big novelty store (just off the food court at Marlborough Mall) was my favorite one in Calgary to go for gift-shopping, since they had every funny T-shirt, poster or other silly things imaginable! The best part was, they had…More »
