We liked it enough to buy a frozen tourtière to take home, and also picked up the steak and Guinness pie since apparently that's their most popular one.

So now, your palate is introduced to what is truly the beginning of a perfect sandwich....finishing it off with the savoury taste of their all beef hot dog. Keep in mind, all this is with their obviously successful effort to have measured every single ingredient..hitting bulls eye. Not to overwhelm or leaving it deserted. The Steak sandwich. Same blueprint in quality, care and expertise. The steak was perfectly seasoned and tender and with the home-run bread it was truly exceptional. Honestly, this is the first time I've had a sandwich of this extraordinary unprecedented quality.

Holy smokes, the Acai bowls here are massive. We were soooo full. If we ever come here again, we will just share one bowl with each other. Not sure that we will come here again though. The Acai bowls weren't bad but I've had better. I feel it could have been a bit sweeter. I was not impressed with my mom's Avocado Toast. I could see my mother struggling to cut her Avocado Toast so it seems the crust was quite hard. She ended up leaving a lot of the crust on her plate and just ate the middle of the bread. On the website I had seen Avocado Toast, sandwiches, wraps and Salmon Lox Bagel. I was quite dismayed to walk into this place and not see any of that stuff written on the menu. There was a small sign by the cashier that said to ask about Avocado Toast. I guess by the same token, I would have had to ask about Salmon Lox Bagel. Why make us ask about it? Why not just include it on the huge menu that was up on the wall? Might have made life easier when it came to ordering something for my mom who isn't into Acai bowls like us. This place seems to be somehow shared with Bean Around the World coffee shop which is right next door. There's no wall separating the two shops. You can walk from Anchor Eatery straight into the coffee shop next door. We ended up taking our food and drinks from Anchor Eatery and sitting next door at Bean Around the World coffee shop. Assumed it was allowed since there was no separation between the two shops and nobody tried to kick us out of the coffee shop.

Came here for a late breakfast again. My mom ordered the giant raisin scone again, along with a cup…read moreof tea. Daughter ordered the same breakfast sandwich that she ordered last time along with a mocha, and I ordered the Adult Mac n Cheese with a London Fog. There were a couple of hiccups this time. First of all they mixed up my daughter's drink order. Instead of a mocha they made her a hot chocolate. It looked like a wonderful hot chocolate, with a lovely heap of whipping cream on top but it was not what she ordered. So they took it away and made the mocha that she ordered. Then there was my order. My Adult Mac n cheese comes with toast. When they asked which kind of bread I would like for my toast, I asked if I could have the curry baguette bread which is usually used for their Shrimp Melt sandwich. They misunderstood and thought I was changing my order from Mac n Cheese to the Shrimp Melt sandwich itself! Nope, that's not what I wanted. I still wanted the Mac n Cheese but was just wanting to have the curry baguette bread as my "toast" since the Mac n Cheese comes with toast. When they finally realized what I was actually asking for, they then told me they couldn't do that. They only use the curry baguette for the Shrimp Melt sandwich. So then I chose sourdough to go with my Adult Mac n Cheese. It was very noisy in the shop this time. The noise level really turned off my mom. She ate up just a bit of scone, left the rest, didn't even finish her tea and then left to go walk in the IGA supermarket nearby just to escape the noise. My daughter and I finished up as quickly as we could so that we could go join my mother in the supermarket. I left first and when my daughter came to find us in the supermarket she said the people at The Bakehouse gave us a bag with 3 cookies in it for free, as a token gift for the troubles we went through in having 2 of our orders mixed up that day. I ate one of the cookies later in the day. It seemed like some kind of shortbread cookie with frosting sandwiched between it. Too sweet for my taste but I very much appreciated the gesture. I think it shows very good customer service. Don't think we'll go back there with my mother again as we'd rather not risk subjecting her to the extreme noise level again. My daughter and I would happily come back together though as we love the food there, and were very impressed with the service. Yes, they botched up our orders but how a restaurant redeems themself from a mistake says just as much about an establishment as not making a mistake in the first place. Impressed with the recovery they made, so in spite of the mistakes...still giving them a good rating!

Back here again. I had to drop someone off at Horseshoe Bay early in the morning and decided to…read moretreat myself to a breakfast sandwich here on my way back. The one that my daughter had raved about. I had that with a Coconut Matcha. Both of them were super yummy! I can see why my daughter loves that breakfast sandwich so much. They had a different flavor of quiche from the one I had tried the first time we came here and that looked very appealing as well. I hope they'll have it again whenever next we make it back here together. The eggin my sandwich was so fluffy. My Coconut Matcha was very impressive too. I loved how I could taste the flavors of both the Coconut and that Matcha. Neither one was too overwhelming. They had the same Thai Iced Tea and Passionfruit Lemonade that they had last time, so I am guessing that their feature drinks rotate on a monthly basis. They have so many other interesting things that you can buy and take home in addition to the foods that you can eat right then and there. Lots of interesting frozen meals such as soups, stews, mac n cheese, lasagna and sheperd's pie. They even have Vegetarian options for the lasagna and sheperd's pie. Outside of frozen meals, they've got interesting condiments and sauces you can buy, and their Honey Chai which is on the drink menu seems to be available for purchase. It comes in a jar and looks like some kind of thick honey-like consistency that you stir with some hot water and/or milk I would assume. Basically, they sell lots of stuff that you could take home and keep in your pantry. I guess that's why they call this place The Modern Pantry! Really starting to fall in love with this place.

Food 5/5 Parking 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 4/5 (the first time I visited I only got a matcha iced latte so the service was good. The second time I visited I got an iced matcha latte, a cake, and a sandwich. I got my iced matcha and the cake within 5-10 minutes but they forgot my sandwich. I thought they were warming it up and since they suddenly got busy I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But after 20-25 minutes I noticed no one was behind the counter anymore. I went and inquired about my sandwich and they said they likely forgot. She apologized and warmed up my sandwich and brought it to my table. The individual taking my order seemed new so maybe he forgot to take it out of the fridge to warm it up. )

Stepping into others' imprinted snow footsteps trying not to slip and fall onto the newly fallen snow, we made it into Cafe Crema in West Vancouver. The first thing with this place that gets you is the vibe. Mood lighting, lovely high tables and plenty of space. You can sit there, and daydreaming in this place is highly encouraged preferably with a glass of bold red and a slice of Margherita Pizza. I didn't really know what I wanted, which rarely happens, but this was one of those special occasions where you just let spontaneity take over. I was going to just have a coffee, but as I approached the register area to order my Americano, I kept seeing this glimmer in the corner of my eye. It was quite bright, but just a glimmer, so I looked over and it was just this muffin sitting there in the display. I asked the cashier what muffin that was, and I was told that it was the Vegan Banana Chocolate Muffin. "Vegan?" I asked. He said, "Yup." I almost walked away trying to find something else, but the damn thing looked so good. So, reluctantly I decided to try a Vegan Muffin. I said to myself, "well, what's the worst that could happen? I'll just throw it out if I don't like it." That winking-luring Vegan muffin was so good that it actually trumped many of the dairy based muffins I've had in the past. I'll tell you how and why. First, it was rich, creamy, dense, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. You could taste the Cocoa and hint of Banana and nuts throughout. As much as all the ingredients together gave the muffin its wonderful taste, you could also taste each component individually. I don't have a sweet tooth at all, and it's rare to find me ordering desert or eating muffins. I ate this damn thing like I just discovered the taste of sweet for the first time. Between this awesome Vegan muffin, the great Americano and this cozy little lamp on the table and the beautiful glowing white snow on Bellevue Drive, this indeed was a memorable experience and a one time love affair with a Vegan Muffin.

(Although the selection skews heavily to things they they probably use to make the food: lots of options for olives, but no 2-litre bottles of pop.) So as a market, it may be somewhat disappointing, depending on what you're looking for. But as a cafe, now that's a different story. The sandwich I had was the best sandwich I've had in months (including the sandwiches I've made for myself). I didn't even order anything fancy: just a B.L.T., but what was placed in front of me was a work of art. The bread was soft, the bacon was crisp, and the filling was abundant enough that I had to work at keeping it from sliding out before I could eat it. This place is a hidden delight.
