“You’ve arrived at your destination,” the GPS told me. I certainly have! <\/p>\n

This week commute is to Euphoria Cafe — a hidden little gem in Calgary that I wasn’t aware of. It’s extremely close to my house, but I’d gotten so used to the cafe-less existence called NW Calgary, that I overlooked this little bohemian shop.<\/p>\n

I’m glad I found it because it has the makings of becoming my local haunt: organic, fair trade, interesting patrons, delicious espresso, and a dash of creativity used in their unique drinks: the Hawaiian Islander, Milky Way, the Dublin Fog, and the HedgeHog. Coffee\/tea isn’t the only thing on the menu: there’s also smoothies, paninis, salads and waffles.<\/p>\n

The patrons range from granny to techie to bitchy Calgary housewife to construction worker to punk rock superhero. But, the best thing about the cafe: the coffee tastes good.<\/p>\n

As I ordered my coffee there was only one question burning in my brain: What’s the difference between a London Fog and a Dublin Fog?<\/em> A London fog uses Earl Grey tea and vanilla flavouring, whereas a Dublin Fog uses peppermint tea and Irish creme flavouring. It’s very good I’m told.<\/p>\n
