Coffee
Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.
- Max and I walk to Structure Coffee for a delicious Cortado and light roast to start the day.
- Tammy, Tyler, and Levi join us and walk to Olive+Gourmando for a pastry.
- We all head to Montreal on Wheels to rent bikes and take a private guided bike tour of Montreal.
- After bike tour walk to Papermane Tea Room for afternoon tea and lunch.
- Then Max and I take four of the boys and visit two card shops: Capitaine Québec and Silver Goblin.
- Jamie has call with Quartersawn with some updates on construction happening at home. Some surprises to deal with. 💸
- Return and park Max’s car in Place Victoria ramp.
- Freshen up at Sonder.
- Jamie and brother-in-laws head to Vieux-Port Steakhouse for Men’s dinner. Great table outside with two wonderful bottles of Borolo to add.
- Go to Old Port for evening fun. A number of folks get Henna tattoos. Everyone has Mary’s Popcorn. Mazie, Tyler, Nora, Levi, and Angie do zipline!
- Watch Taylor Swift themed fireworks in Montreal.
- Walk back to Sondor and call it a night.

Enjoying an Espresso and Cappuccino at Monogram Coffee in downtown Calgary while sending this morning’s Weekly Thing.
We visited Q.Lab Coffee this afternoon. I was impressed with their coffee program and had to try a “Gold Label” pour over. Delicious. Had a cappuccino as well. ☕️
It was awesome to see @davoh for a delicious coffee at Five Watt today! The conversation covered much ground and could have continued on if not for a lack of time. 🤝
Busy morning at 190º Coffee & Tea this morning.
Love this portable pour over package from Mad Heads, a Kyiv-based coffee company. The package folds out to rest on the rim of the mug and make delicious pour over. The first step to making “perfect cup” — stay mad. 🤣☕️🇺🇦
