Update: This restaurant is closed. VANEATS.ca has once again put together a pretty nifty package deal for an establishment we’ve been meaning to try with their ManCakes Madness deal for ManCakes Bakery on Robson. This time it will cost you $9.95 for 6 mini cupcakes and 2 hot drinks. You can also upgrade and double […]
On my last girl date with TDog, we made a trip down to Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe so TDog could try out their pastries too. A good thing about Beaucoup is that they come out with seasonal limited edition pastries to keep things interesting. This time around, to give us a taste of summer which […]
Wendy and I were looking for a quick snack around Broadway and Cambie, and Solly’s Bagelry looked like it fit the bill. Once inside things got a bit more interesting, as we could see that Solly’s wasn’t just a bagel place, but a full Jewish bakery. As the sign says, they carry babka but we […]
I’ve heard a lot about Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe, especially in magazines. However it wasn’t until recently when GRock’s friend started working there as a baker that I’ve succumbed to lots more praises and recommendations from GRock. The final nail in the coffin was when GRock showed me a picture of this magical looking poached […]

So Hitman took me to a place in downtown Courtenay called Hot Chocolates for…wait for it….Hot Chocolate!! Now Hot […]

It was located in downtown Victoria. And they serve waffles. So my roommate SheShe and I decided we were going […]
Update: This business is now a delivery-only service with no storefront. I’ve recently joined a bunch of those “Daily Deal” sites and I must say, I was skeptic at first but it’s been treating me pretty well. They are usually very good deals and the coupon for Cookies of Course was one of my first […]
Get it. You won’t regret it. Well, maybe in a few hours. But it’ll be worth it 🙂
One of Boyfriend’s favorite places to eat at Metrotown when working is a little bakery called Manzano. The usual suspects are here, cakes, cheesecakes, cookies, pastries, etc. Aside from those, they also bake specialty breads and makes sandwiches from scratch. That’s what Boyfriend likes to get but they’re a bit pricey…$6 each approximately. Well I […]
Continuing with the blueberry theme, on the same night we had dinner at Swiss Chalet, I urbanspooned to see what dessert places were close by. Calhoun’s Bakery Cafe was a few blocks down so I decided on there. It was a bit of a wet and drippy evening that day. However it was a short […]
