1. Good Earth Cafes
Dear white chocolate and berry scone,
I was introduced to you the other week. You looked much like your other baked friends but with one bite, I knew there was something different about you. Your berries were plump, your white chocolate melted in my…More »
2. Epiphanie Chocolate
Buzz.... no seriously. The chocolates deserve buzz. And not just because the hand painted bee on a "signature" honey and cinnamon treat told me.
This quaint little store has samples to try, a comfy window seat to rest and irresistibly beautiful…More »
3. Design District Urban Tavern
No, no, no, no, no. This can't be real.
Bucket
Bacon
Maple Syrup...
Dip.
Pure Canadian genius!!!
Wow -wait...
Poutine, "the people's way"
Choice of:
Fried egg
Ground lamb
Caramelized onions
Duck confit
and more
Okay, so it's not real poutine, with shoestring…More »
4. The Holy Grill
These guys are so funny and friendly, I literally wanted to climb up onto the counter (which btw, made me feel like a small child, it's so high!) and give them a hug, or a high five.
My soup of the day (steak) and garden salad were well endowed,…More »
5. Thai Boat
If someone told me that at the edge of a strip mall would be a Thai place, with all of my favourite dishes, I wouldn't have believed them... and I certainly wouldn't believe the food would be any good. But I'm sure glad I was wrong!
The red curry duck…More »
6. Chiasso Coffee Company
Tea with a timer? No, I couldn't believe my eyes! Not only is tea served properly (loose leaves vs bag) but the attention to detailed timing blew my mind!
This is a space I lounge in for a while. Long and narrow with wood accents and modern tiled wall…More »
7. Kawa Espresso Bar
Should I share that they are brewing 49th Parallel (from Vancouver) AND that they have Montreal style bagels? Or that the space is perfect for a work camp out, complete with quick WiFi.
Of course, I should tell all, but I think the moment that turned…More »
8. Jelly Modern Doughnuts
Like a beacon for sugar, my sweet-dar went off when Wendy P and I were driving by. I knew I must, just had to enjoy a full day's worth of calories with one of these mammoth doughy orbs. The doughnut was awesome. I tried the seasonal selection which…More »

Categories:
Creperies,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Move over tortilla, I think crepes are my new favourite wrapper!
Yes, that's right. Right here in this little take-away crepe shop, you can get a crepe filled with Mexican-style fillings and rolled (almost) like a burrito. The selection of savoury…More »
10. Diner Deluxe
A place where the java is freshly brewed with care, and where one can substitute a gluten-free biscuit over toast deserves my business!
Ripe with kitsch , but without the diner sass one might have a hankering for, I appreciated the more refined…More »
11. VooDoo Lounge
My first pit stop on Yelp's Passport to Local Beer, and although, it was a bit too early for me to indulge in some Alberta beers, it wasn't too early to eat. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, a place designed for the pickiest of eaters!
…More »
12. Sammys
You know, I love sauce. Like in a "I love, love, love sauce" kind of way. But I think I've met my match here. Sammy's takes sauce to an overwhelming extreme of on the sauce-pectation scale. Ordering a "salad" plate of chicken schwarma, I was (almost)…More »
