Clearly you did not teach your son about the fine art of deception.

Is Maria on 103st closed? Has not been open all week and was VERY quiet the past few times i've been in there.

She is very versed in that and put on a brave face despite being as much of a Panthers hater as her old man….the gratuity was already set…..20%? Plus whatever they may have left as “extra.”

I'd still argue that https://aycocafe.ca/ might have the most comprehensive and delicious baking options in all of the Downtown.

ACE Coffee Roasters in Manulife Place sells (sold?) Bavarian cream strawberry donuts, and they are worth the trip. Much smaller selection than Ayco, but extremely good.

I'm gastronomically dependent on Rosewood Foods' crullers. They are heavenly!

L’OCA is opening a 2nd Pyro into the Old Rebel Food & Drink…..

With the L'OCA being a block away, I'm surprised they didn't just build it on-site.

It’s the same building/parking lot. But the restaurant going under likely opened up an option with much lower costs to outfit. The IGA space likely didn’t have room or the right HVAC/plumbing to easily add.

Yeeeeah. I've long been a sucker for a good cruller, and Rosewood's are downright dangerous.

Pazzo Pazzo has a sign up on the old SOHO space on Jasper. Does anyone know if they're moving from their current location or just opening a second one?
