Stop at one of our favorites and treat yourself! Analog Coffee Greenwich - #130 - 55 Greenbriar Drive NW, analogcoffee.ca
Calgary is blessed with a wide variety of amazing home-grown coffee shops with multiple locations, so choosing a favorite is always controversial. In our humble opinion, Analog does the best latte in town. We love their location right outside Calgary Farmers’ Market West – pop in for a quiet latte after buying goodies at the market, or start here to fortify before you browse. Euphoria Cafe - #110 - 8 Varsity Estates Circle NW, euphoriacafe.ca
We love Euphoria for its variety of non-coffee drinks (including exceptionally good hot chocolate!) seasonal beverages and glutenfree, keto and paleo-friendly snacks. Sweet Tooth Ice Cream - 206 Centre Street S, sticyyc.com
Enjoy Thai-inspired rolled ice cream in delicious flavors like dirty chai, mixed berry and pumpkin spice topped with whipped cream, or indulge in their chocolate-dipped cheesecake – you really can’t go wrong! Lakeview Gluten-Free Bakery - 2515 90 Avenue SW, lakeviewbakerycalgary.com

Have you ever had bingsoo? Now’s your chance! Snowy Village specializes in Korean-style shaved milk ice topped with fruit, chewy mochi, whipped cream, cookies and much more. Rainbow Bakery - #135 - 328 Centre Street S, facebook.com/ rainbowbakeryyyc
