My friend took me here, and i mainly wanted to go since i had never been here. The place was packed but because we were not eating any food at 11pm we were put and a tiny awkward spot facing a weird out of place wall. My friend finally requested an…More »

I stumbled upon this place desperate for a coffee, and had no idea i had just found a jem. I ordered my iced expresso (which complicates most baristas) and proceeded to look around in wonder at all things chocolate. This place was busy and beautiful…More »

I kind of wandered into this place because on a sign outside it said "Breakfast All Day".. and that's what i wanted. Really cute and cozy inside with bar stools, and bigger tables.
Everything went wrong when they forgot to bring me my coffee and i…More »

I can't really tell what this place is. It's kind of confusing. I ordered a french press to go which means i just got a regular coffee. I got a bonchaz regular bun which was pretty tasty and cheap.
Other people were eating their breakfasts, and they…More »

This place isn't horrible but i really don't know what it's trying to be. I think because it's the old owner of  Milestones they probably thought an modern asian restaurant would take off. Not so. The food was mediocre and it's really not hard to…More »

Wow, this place has solid memories of being sloshed, and drinking rank pitchers of beer at a maybe too young age. I do always remember having a good time. Last night we tried unsuccessfully to find a place to eat before the hockey game. Every place…More »

Probably my favourite sandwich place on earth. It's not rocket science either but it's something in the way they slice those vegetables and cheese that make it really freaking special. It's fresh, and has such simplicity. Fresh baguettes, or whole…More »
