This year, instead of getting one big birthday cake, I asked to go to Thierry Chocolates instead to get a couple treats. Thierry had always been on my list and since we’re gonna be in the area anyways after dinner at Verre, why not?! Thierry is quite roomy with seats instead and a sort of heated patio […]
This is Part 3 of our New York Food Adventures! Check out the rest! On day 2 of our New York trip, we were meeting with some friends to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge so we thought we would grab something on the way for the walk. We had originally wanted to get bagels but […]
After many, many tastings, we’ve finally decided that between the two great doughnut makers in Vancouver, we Vancouver, we ♥ Lucky’s Doughnuts > Cartems Donuterie. What finally sealed the deal was the doughnuts we had on our most recent visit to Lucky’s. I took the reins and picked out 3 doughnuts- from the bottom: Mango Passion Bismarck($3.50), Pistachio Glazed […]
Vancouver now has its very own L’Éclair de Génie boutique and I couldn’t be happier!! I first tried eclairs from L’Éclair de Génie on a family trip to Paris and fell in love. They are presented artistically and each and everyone of them were so beautiful that it was actually hard for us to choose just […]
Fondway Cafe is a cute and spacious cafe that has opened up along the strip behind Metrotown mall. There’s a bunch of new condos being built there which I guess makes it a good location. It is also close to me so I have no complaints and made it a good choice for a long […]

Bump N Grind Cafe had a second baby and I was invited to the baby shower! It was actually a grand opening media event for their brand new South Granville location and I was extended an invite to try their goodies and have a one-night only signature drink. This is the second location for husband and […]
I’ve heard about JJ Bean from GRock a while ago, and I didn’t really know what the fuss was. More googling however got me intrigued about their mocha, as it seems like they make the best one in town. My first visit was to the Main Street location, I didn’t try their mocha, as I […]

A few Vancouver restaurants are offering specially priced menus during this event, […]

This time it will cost you $9.95 for 6 mini cupcakes and 2 hot drinks. You can also upgrade and double […]
