My first trip to Caffe Rosso was last September. I've been back a few times since, and all I can say is this spot keeps getting better. If only there were an option to give it more than 5 stars.
I popped in yesterday for an hour for a coffee and a…More »
The best time to go to Caffe Rosso is first thing in the morning. Especially on a Sunday. How do I… Read more »
Have I mentioned how much I love the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary? It's now one of my favourite places to head for a stroll on a gorgeous wintry day. The path is easy to walk, it's nice and quiet, and there are photos to be taken at every turn if you so…More »
Grab your binoculars and your camera, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary has a lot to see in birds and… Read more »
If you're looking for a really cute spot to go for lunch in Inglewood, hit up Jacqueline Suzanne's and remember to keep your pinky up.
The atmosphere is pretty old school. The material that made up the tableclothes matched the upholstery on the…More »
Five stars for a church? Oh yes. Make no mistake, this review is not of any particular activities that happen within the walls of this community church, but of the space itself. It's fabulous!

I love it. Love love love it. You wouldn't think this spot would be nearly as awesome as it is just by walking by it. Even coming up the stairs, I didn't know I'd be walking into such a spacious room-high ceilings, wooden floor, great lighting. It…More »

That's Adorn(eh) - to the tune of That's amore!
When my head needs a hat
Cuz my hair's gone all flat...
There's Adorn(eh)!
When my neck is too bare
There are necklaces to spare
At Adorn(eh)!
And so I shop

I had my first visit to the Inglewood Community Hall last night for the Kit and Kaboodle Circus. I wondered how they were going to simulate a big top in a community hall. When I pulled up and saw the circular hall, it all became clear!
Spacious and…More »
It's taken me almost two weeks to decide what I thought of the Blackfoot Truck Stop. My first impression was a 2 star. I stopped in for lunch awhile back with a friend of mine and the place was packed at 130 in the afternoon with all kinds of folk,…More »
Somehow I've managed to spend all of this time in Kensington without having yet been to Pages. Bookstores are not generally spots I frequent, I blame this fact on the interwebs. But having places like Pages around may just be enough to entice me to…More »
Nine Cafe... you and I have got to spend a bit more time together. The brief period I spent sipping my latte and eating my ginger bread cookie were delightful.
You're a cafe in the front and a cutsie-pie store in the back. I don't know exactly what…More »
Well, it certainly ain't no DQ. I'd say that's a compliment. Not that there's anything bad about DQ, but the fact that I can get a Brain Freeze that's as thick as any Blizzard, yet support a local shop is pretty awesome-tastic in my books.

Q: Where do you go for a comforting lunch on a rainy day?
A: WilderNest.
There's been a steady downfall of rain the last few days and I've been in need of some real warm and tasty homemade comfort food. Thanks be to the Yelp gods for WilderNest's lunch…More »
I stepped out of Inglewood and into a shop where there must surely be a magic carpet. Boft is full of rugs from far off places-all hand woven, but made of materials from wool to silk. Which also means a variety of price points... anywhere from a…More »
Shopping at Espy is like walking into a store and already having your best gal pals waiting to shop with you. You know the gal pals I'm talking about. The ones who's opinions you trust, they'll tell you straight up what they think and you love them…More »
I'm happy to report that me and the meat freezer at Bite are becoming fast friends. I popped in a few weeks ago to stock up on a little lamb and some farmers sausage, only to discover that Bite is now carrying bison sausages as well, which the young…More »
Today, Bite has my props for lunch. I walked in and saw a lunch board with today's feature… Read more »
Dear Inglewood Wine Market,
I love how simple you make selecting a wine. Your tags with suggested food pairings for every bottle on your shelves had my mind imagining all kinds of home-cooked creations as I was perusing your inventory. It's especially…More »
Nom nom nom nom! That's what my tummy was saying after lunch today. I'm pretty sure it'll say the same thing when I did into the leftovers of my lunch combo later this evening.
Dragon Pearl's been in Inglewood for ages. Seriously! Word is Ian's…More »
Have you ever discovered that the more you learn, the less you know? I experience that every time I explore a new store or pursue a new hobby. I have a couple of friends who make jewelry. Shopping at their Christmas parties is one of my favourite…More »
Bakeries like Wilde Grainz are making me wonder how I ever shopped at grocery store bakeries. I was in today to get a mini lemon strawberry cake with my Passport to Inglewood and came out with the cake, a loaf of sourdough bread (did you know each…More »
As soon as you open the door to the Tea Trader, be sure to take a deep breath in. The smell of dozens of teas is wonderful!
My knowledge of tea goes so far as to know there are white teas, green teas and black teas. Some have caffeine, some do not.…More »
For some reason I've got yam chips stuck in my head and its rotating to the song of Lamb Chops... you remember the little puppet, right? Well, replace that with "Yam chips.. play along." At any rate, I was at lunch with the Queen of SuperFriends(TM)…More »
How does one describe the space that is DaDe? Cool, hip, eclectic, its got such a funky vibe. Funky isn't even the right word to use, it's not "cool enough." DaDe feels ahead of funky. Is there even a word for it yet? I've always recognized DaDe by…More »
Has it really been a month and a half since Cafe Gravity first opened? Oi... I could've sworn it was just a couple of weeks ago. Then again, I could've also sworn that it's always been here. I live in a weird time warp.
