    Not sure if you’d be interested, but That Vegan Couple are coming to Calgary, June 2019, sometime after the 10th (Not sure the exact date). They’re looking for places to host their workshop (could be good publicity for the cafe).
    Not sure if it would work out with the gym hours.
    Just thought I’d mention it, in case you would be interested

    What a beautiful moment. All of the stars aligned for you! Your mom buying the space, the economy tanking, business going down,your passion for vegan food, you coming back from the UK, implementing your creative ideas and work experience. All that happened for a reason. I’m so happy for you and your family. Congratulations on your cafe! Very inspiring story! 😊👍❤️

I'm in California so I just have to try and recreate it for now for breakfast, I'm coming for SaVeg though 💖💖😍😍 and so inspired by you Rose, I've always dreamed of doing a food cart/small restaurant and it's so amazing to see you succeeding!!! ❤❤🎉🎉

    I’m just starting to transition into a vegan lifestyle and I have found your channel so helpful! I’m from UK and was living in Calgary for the month of September, I wish I had known about your cafe then and I certainly would have tried it out! Now I’m about an hour away from Calgary but next time I visit the city, I’ll definitely be paying your cafe a visit! The food looks unreal 👌🏻

  • @Keeperoffyre
    @Keeperoffyre 5 років тому +1

    Great video as always! And a vegan pub would be awesome! I have ideas but no time to experiment with some meads and ales i have been thinking on.
    Also, if i ever get a chance to visit Calgary from Indiana, your cafe is at the top of the list for places to visit!

    If I lived anywhere near there, I would drop in. Maybe you could do some regional festivals like Veg & Ale fest and bring your food to different cities. All the food looked delicious to me. I would like to know the actual mechanics of operating a restaurant, not just the general philosophies. Like if you did a what I do in a day at my vegan cafe vlog, that would be interesting. I am sure there is so much that goes into it like budgeting, taxes, paying utilities and rent, cleaning it, figuring out how much to order, dealing with customers, etc. Then getting the food out on time made to order, the shopping, making decisions with co-workers, all that is interesting.

    I've been to the cafe and it is delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone who is in or near Calgary.
    I'm from Tampa, FL so when Rose first mentioned that she was opening the cafe I thought it sounded good, but didn't think I'd ever go. Then, some friends ended up having a destination wedding in Banff this past summer, so I flew in and out of Calgary and made sure to stop by and I'm happy I did. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I'd ever had Korean food and when I got home, the first grocery trip I made included some gochujang paste lol

  • @StylishlyInsane

    I love how you’re able to market both businesses (UA-cam and SaVeg) together :)
    Do you think SaVeg will be at Calgary’s 3rd VegFest? 3rd is a charm right? Haha :)
    Best wishes to your family with this business! I really hope it continues to be successful so if you choose to, you can make it a chain.., put it in countries you enjoy visiting ;)

Well, guess what honey, we are adding a location to your plan ! I WILL visit your cafe some day (who knows, it may be 2 locations or more by the time we get over 😀)
