Join Stephen — founder of Seelocal and longtime explorer of Calgary’s neighbourhood cafés — for a cozy walking tour through the heart of Kensington. This is a very light‑walking experience, with only about 5–10 minutes of walking total between stops. We meet right in front of Higher Ground Café before visiting four hand‑picked spots: Higher Ground, Oolong Tea House, The Roasterie, and the always‑charming Regal Cat Café.
As we wander between cafés, you’ll also get a glimpse into Kensington.
