Ketchup potato chips?…read more I'd never heard of such a thing. But I'll tell you what, these chips from Lay's get a thumbs up! Besides the expected ketchup flavor, they had pleasant hints of cinnamon and clove.

Absurdly delicious chocolates…read more We were in Victoria walking up Fort St (they are now at 703 Fort St) and happened upon this shop. We chose around a dozen and a half chocolates and (sadly) only later discovered that they were amazing! As in (taken as a whole), better than any other box of chocolates we've ever had...beating out the best chocolatiers of NYC and Paris. If you are visiting Victoria, run...don't walk...to buy a box. If you are lucky enough to live in Victoria, I envy you.

Despite being short staffed and it being a holiday, the pharmacy staff went above and beyond to fill my inhaler prescription today, so I didn't have to wait. I didn't realize how bad my breathing had become until I attempted the normally 5 minute walk to the store! One dose and I'm already breathing better. So, thank you. You all deserve a medal and a giant pay raise for the work you do, under increasingly difficult circumstances these days in healthcare.

We were there on a not so busy Thursday afternoon for a quick afternoon snack and tea. I ordered a bruschetta and mom ordered a blueberry tart and we both ordered earl Grey tea. As soon as we set our trays and was about to eat, we noticed a mouse running through the seating area (fairly without fear, probably in search of food). I immediately lost my appetite. However because I was starving I took a bite of my bruschetta. It tasted hard as a rock. The blueberry tart though was pretty good, mildly sweet and perfect. However couldn't really spend a lot of time here since the mouse was running around even with all the tables being filled with humans.
