The moment the sweet proprietor asked me if I'd like some warmed up milk in my Americano, I knew a little piece of my heart belonged to this place.

Ambiance rich with round little tables, chandeliers, folky French music, hardwood floors and an…More »

Sorry guys, this review is strictly for gals. Unless you know any ladies who like sexy bras and panties that fit like they should.

Firstly - some edu-bra-cation (that I learned from the fabulous manager from the Change stores on W 10th and Broadway…More »

I blame November's Elite Party http://www.yelp.ca/biz... It's where I first tried CocoaNymph and fell for the dark chocolate and salted caramel bar. Fast forward a couple of months and...

There I am, trying to push the thoughts of a crunch and tang of…More »

Cheese and bread always stops me in my tracks! And this was no different. Racing home from my weekly UBC farm visit, my tires screeched as I saw something cheesy out of the corner of my eye.

How I wish I had read Shain R's review. I had got my hopes…More »

  Update - 6/27/2009

I must remember to wake up earlier! The eggs were sold out at 9:18 this morning!

My first time at the market this year and my-oh-my how happy the market makes me! It's early in the season so there is not as much selection, but I still managed to fill…More »

Oh the Irish. Drink, drink...and then drink some more. All while listening to fantastic tunes. The dark corners, the pillows, the music, it all makes me feel like I'm somewhere else...Ireland perhaps? And with a pint or two or three in me (or a…More »

Even though this place charges a little more than what I'm usually willing to pay for things like pie ($7.50 a slice!) I think it's well worth it - organic and scrumptious all the way!

Their 3 course dinners might look expensive when you view them a…More »

Organic coffee is served piping hot.
A couple feeds each other a bliss ball at the till.
At the sugar nook, a debate regarding the merits of brown sugar vs raw sugar ensues... raw sugar wins.
The bopping kitchen pumps out eggs on toast and sammies.

Why bother even browsing when you can walk up to the associate, tell them your budget and have an expert guide you through the countless bottles looking for something that you deem "interesting."

I was blown away by the service we received. With a…More »

Something strange is happening at the Government Liquor Store. A transformation of sorts. It's almost as if HR is hiring people for their stores that are customer focused. Like they want us to spend more time and therefore more money in their shop.…More »
