Food That Makes Me Drool
See All Lists
1. Cincott Farms Organic Market and Cafe
My fiance and I are in Fernie for the holidays (visiting family) and I wanted to try something new for lunch.
Everything on their menu sounds fantastic, and I was having a hard time choosing between a couple of the options. Our waitress was helpful…More »
2. Empress Bakery
Does Empress carry the best sour dough rye I have ever had in my life? Yes, yes they do. At a reasonable price to boot. All hail the mighty sour dough skills of the bakers here.
3. The Chopped Leaf
Normally I'd give a place like this four stars, but the insane stomach-settling and craving-fulfilling power that this place possesses inclined me to award it that fifth star.
Right off the bat I was a little confused, because the prices online vs.…More »
4. Beanpod Chocolate
Fernie, BC V0B 1M0
(778) 519-5008
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Wow. Just, wow. When I walked in here, I expected to find the same old thing you typically find in a western Canadian tourist town... an uncreative, too-expensive chocolate shop that makes most of its money off of sucker tourists. Was I ever wrong!!

5. Loaf Bakery
Maybe it's just the clean, crisp air relieving me from my perpetual allergy-induced clogged sinuses, but everything seems to taste better in Fernie. Bread from the Loaf is no different. It's a cute little bakery, offering fresh Artisan bread and…More »
6. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
I continue to be impressed during my visits to Famoso.
I've tried more of the menu options since my last review and I've enjoyed all of them. I don't normally enjoy eating out (the prices are usually too high for me, and I really enjoy cooking) but I…More »

Since my first visit I have been back again ... and again ... and so on. At first I was focused the… Read more »
7. Cincott Farms Organic Grocery & Market
Since I've been here last, they have expanded their selection of bulk items to include different kinds of flour, beans, peas, popcorn, sugar, and the other odd item. The bulk items are inexpensive in my opinion ($33 for 25 lbs of popcorn, for…More »

Great little store. A pretty decent selection for the size, but I think it depends on when in the… Read more »
8. Murrieta's Bar and Grill
Oh, Murrieta's. If my boyfriend didn't tell me this place existed, I would have walked by without even noticing it. In fact, I did, hundreds of times, since the first time I ever shopped on Whyte avenue! Something about the plain brown exterior just…More »
9. Garden Bakery
The basics have been covered already, so here's what I like about this bakery.
It smells soooo good. I mean, bakeries smell good, but this one smells extra good.
A lot of their cakes sold by the slice are the same cakes you get in restaurants, only…More »
10. Friends & Neighbors Cafe
I had brunch here for the first time yesterday after pondering on going to this place for a long time. The exterior is kind of cluttered and sketchy looking and once you get inside it smells a little unappetizing -- two things that prevented me from…More »
11. Colours Restaurant
Every year I like to go to Colours with some friends, get a good meal (i.e. not skimp out on desserts!) and throw 20 bucks away betting on horses. It's really fun, provided you keep the betting to a minimum!
Okay, so comments. I think it's totally…More »
12. Steeps the Urban Tea House
What I like about Steeps, other than it being a great place to study or chill in the evening, is that it doesn't sell itself the way other tea/coffee chains do. They provide tea cups if you are dining in; they don't expect you to buy some overpriced…More »
13. Block 1912
Edmonton, AB T6E 1Z9
(780) 433-6575
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
Block 1912 is yet another coffee shop on Whyte ave. The shop has a large interior and is decorated rather whimsically. I enjoy the atmosphere and the comfy couches. It's fun just to sit in a corner and watch people interact.
I love love love the…More »
14. Cram Dunk
Take it from someone who eats donuts at group meetings every other week (yay grad studies), Cram Dunk is the best you'll find on campus. The donuts are fresher tasting than those from Tim Hortons... even the day after. The prices, especially for…More »
15. Big City Cupcakes
I've been on a quest. A quest for delicious cupcakes. And, folks, that quest may be over.
I've been hopping around Edmonton lately trying to find a decent cupcake joint. I don't really understand where the trend came from, but so far, I haven't been…More »
16. New York Bagel Cafe
Edmonton, AB T6E 4B4
(780) 432-2003
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Bagels
My boyfriend and I decided to try this place after passing it a million times while puttering about in the Strathcona area. When you first come in, you might be a little put off. The place is quite small, meaning you are pretty much guaranteed to…More »
17. Royal Pizza
I'm not a pizza lover, but I love Royal Pizza. I will admit that I personally choose not to eat the pizza itself, but I do enjoy quite a few other things on the menu. I prefer the pasta as well as many side dishes here to the same stuff at many other…More »
18. Yamagoya Sushi
Went here for the first time today with my boyfriend and his family. I had fun! The service was not exactly speedy, but everything we ate was delicious!
The atmosphere is decent and the place smells really good. My mouth started watering as soon as I…More »
19. Le Grand Fromage
Mmmmm, delicious cheese!
Le Grand Fromage is a great place if you're a cheese lover like me, and like to try new kinds all the time. They'll let you try slices of pretty much everything in stock until you find something you like. When the manager…More »
20. Big Bang Bagels
Just thinking about this place makes me drool all over my keyboard. Big Bang is to bagels what Superman is to humanoids. Seriously.
The bagels here have a very distinct taste, sort of sweet and salty at the same time. In my attempts to replicate…More »
21. The Candy Store In Nanton
Love this candy store! I go here every time I drive to Lethbridge or Fernie.
Now, I'm not a huge candy person and I don't really go for big brand chocolate, either. Buuut this candy store has some very unique items that I haven't been able to find…More »
22. Earl's Restaurants
Earls is one of those restaurants that my boyfriend and I have been to several times, mainly because it's close to campus. A year ago, I would have given them four or even five stars, but lately they've changed their menu and three of the four dishes…More »
23. Java Jive
I don't drink coffee very often but I've had lattes and such here a couple times. The drinks taste fine and the price is around average. One complaint is that the Styrofoam cups they put the drinks in have failed on me twice, on one occasion damaging…More »
