So things started off really well here.

I came with a bunch of co-workers for some drinks. The couple of us that arrived first grabbed a booth out on the patio. The server was really friendly and quickly got us some drinks. She was on top of our table…More »

I came her yesterday (second day open) to check this place out and see the new store which they're calling "Food's Greatest Stage".

The place is a zoo. I'm not sure at this point if you'd want to do any actual grocery shopping. Everyone is just there…More »

I'm done with mediocre burrito places. Both Burrito Bandidos and Burrito Boyz.

I'm sure someone will read this and tell me once again "Have you tried the halibut burrito? It's so awesome!". Frankly, shut your face. If I'm going to have a burrito I'm…More »

Tania's ROTD reminded me that I had a review to write for this place.

Overall the food is good, probably 4-stars good. However, this place is a huge ripoff. The tiny amount of ingredients for the hugely inflated prices you pay really make this place…More »

Alright Menchie's, time to put you in your place.

You have DESTROYED froyo. You've taken what is supposed to be a light, fat-free dessert option and turned it into a sugar-loaded carb fest. Some of your flavours have upwards of 28g or sugar per…More »

I haven't been here in a while but my first trip was very memorable. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon and I had made the purposeful trip here to try this new froyo place. It wasn't long after they had first opened. I came early in the day about a…More »

2.0 star rating
  9/10/2010

The food quality here is three stars and I would give the staff three to three-and-a-half stars. What brings this down to two stars are the prices. The price you pay for the quality and portion size are not equal. The quality is slightly aboves…More »

  7/5/2009 First to Review

The night I went it wasn't busy and the clientèle were too cool for even themselves.  The music was terrible, probably why there were only a handful of people on the dance floor.  The bartender was great. She was attentive and helpful with some ideas…More »

I went for a slice of pie and and I'm sad to say I have mixed feelings.  The place is a nice, cozy bake shop with great patio seating.  The staff were very friendly but they seemed very disorganized.  For only 6-8 people standing in line they…More »

  7/11/2009

I guess this place goes under the bland section on my list.  The ingredients are fresh, but there's nothing out of the ordinary.  I had the steak burrito and I think they literally just cook a steak, chop it up, and put it in your burrito.  There's…More »
