Starbucks (17 Avenue) – Calgary, Alberta

We found ourselves wandering around 17th Avenue when we decided to stop into Starbucks for some coffee. Located right on 17th Avenue where there’s a lot of traffic and foot traffic – and near a high school, it was busy as expected.

It was fall and I decided I was going to have a Maple Latte which is one of my fall favorites. The coffee wasn’t bad at all, but you can’t go wrong with anything with maple syprup!

We also ordered a Cheese Croissant and honestly it wasn’t that great. It was dry and it seemed old – which was weird as they’re so busy! Perhaps it was just coffee people were getting and not snacks/treats.

Overall, it was a nice place to sit and window watch with a nice cup of java (or alternative). The location is ideal but there are a lot of other coffee shops along the same street!

Second Cup – Maple Latte

Sure, spring is coming back, but Second Cup has brought back a sweet favourite of mine, the Maple Latte! It’s sweeter than a lot of other lattes, since obviously they use maple flavours which is a wonderful latte flavour.

This wonderful latte is made with Second Cups signature spring latte with delicious maple notes, velvety microfoam, and robust espresso taste. It really is as delicious as it sounds and trust me, 100 times better than it looks too!

Be sure to try Second Cup’s Maple Tea as a lighter option!
