Stopped by for a latte and noticed they were participating in Taste of the Tri-cities. They had a…read morespecial combo for $14: bacon egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, truffle parmesan hashbrown bites and your choice of donut. I loved their breakfast sandwich with fluffy eggs. The hashbrown bites were nice and crispy. Their doughnuts all looked enticing, but I picked the wrong one. I chose creme brulee, which had a hard icing on top. It was crunchy, which did not go well with the pillowy soft doughnut. I peeled the entire top off, but enjoyed the vanilla filling. Although I didn't like this doughnut, I could tell it was freshly baked and I would return to try their other flavours. There was only 1 woman working in the cafe and she was so friendly. The interior is aesthetically pleasing and seating is comfortable. I went early on a weekday morning so I was able to find street parking, however finding parking could be challenging, especially on the weekend.

We finished everything, and then got 12 more donuts to go. The donuts are fluffy! And flavorful! The selection was ample and everything really did taste fresh and tasty. They also were taste the next two days as well. Oh, I remembered the one thing I didn't enjoy. Finding parking. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Baked with pistachio frangipane & filled with kataifi folded with pure pistachio paste & tahini, with milk chocolate rocher glaze. I discovered Elmo baking co when they had a pop up at Richmond location, long time ago. Then, I have always visited their pop up at other shop and I was so happy they opened their own shop. I usually liked their double baked items. This Pistachio Rocher croissant is based on Dubai chocolate. Dough was crispy. Chocolate glaze was very good. The filling Kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini - I prefer a bit more sweetness in it. The pistachio paste flavor dominated , if there were more sweetness , then, it might be more smoother to me . Overall , I enjoyed this item its unique flavor.

There isn't a ton of seating inside, but the outdoor patio had plenty of space and was a lovely spot to enjoy the weather. Such a sweet way to spend the afternoon, and I can't wait to visit again.

I was able to order a custom dairy free, and gluten sensitive cake for a birthday in no time. With a week's notice and a short form filled out, I was given the most perfect cake for my event. One of the things I love most about Rocky Point Ice cream is that the plant based flavours are almost undetectable from regular dairy flavours. They are delicious, creamy and packed with flavour. I make a point of buying pints from this location now rather than getting non-dairy ice creams from the grocery stores because I love the quality and service I get each time I visit. This place is great to hit up if you want to go for a walk in the park and then head for a sweet treat afterwards in their cute little shop. I highly recommend!

I just adore the atmosphere & customer service here. It's a truly community coffee shop & people…read moreworking here go the extra mile (thanks again Gary - you saved me with a much needed Ginger Rogers least week!). Truly, you know the food, coffee & tea is good when there's times that the line up nearly goes to the door & no seats are available inside or out. Certain times of the year they have special drinks featured but the staff is so wonderful that if there's something you liked from a past season, if they still have the ingredients, they'll make it. Lately, Ginger Rogers is my treat to boost my day. Honestly, I've tried so many food options & haven't had a meh reaction to any. There's wraps & paninis plus desserts & cookies & take home items ranging from pancake & cookie mixes, jams & syrups to frozen meals. I think it's decently priced for being in this part of the world & like I mentioned, it's always a decent meal or snack. For accessibility, all the tables are moveable. So you could adjust away from the benches & chairs to allow a walker or wheel chair. But as this cafe is smaller, for those with baby strollers, I would recommend leaving them outdoors & bringing in the essentials with your baby/kids. The door isn't automatic but the handles & space around would allow for most to access the doors (providing that the local puppers aren't tied right next to the door & baby strollers are parked far enough back). Parking has one handicap but I would actually recommend parking closer to the vet clinic side, as that would be easier for drop off & pick up for those with mobility aids. There's also a generous patio area for people to sit with umbrellas. So it is very common to see many people sitting with their dogs outside enjoying the weather & a coffee. Bathrooms (there's 2) are accessed by keys provided by staff. It's been a long time since I needed to use them but they were in decent condition considering the range of people that could use them in the day. Might be a bit tricky to maneuver a wheelchair that way but walker & cane users could navigate past the extra door, random pop-up displays & extra table in the business lobby side. This cafe also allows laptop usage throughout the week but laptop free on weekends. After what I seen today (& it has increased in amount of people from other days I've seen), I'm very glad that's the case. Some people legit bring their whole office, including their screen raisers, extra tech options to headphones and such... I personally think if you need to take up a 4 seat space for your "online needs" & you give off the energy that it's serious work, perhaps the library down the road (which allows room bookings so you could do webinars or group work) or look to rent a temp office space might be better for work. But that's just my two cents as a disabled person who notices this happening more often in a lot more cafes lately. I hope these extra tech office travellers at least buy more than a coffee as all the food is really great here & this cafe deserves to be well supported by all. Definitely give it a try if you're in the PoMo area. Especially if you're already planning on walking into the inlet area to Rocket Point park & pier.

When I asked if it was actually a cold brew, I was met with attitude and defensiveness. I was a barista for years, so from my perspective, that level of service was unacceptable. If it were me behind the bar, I would have said something like, "You know what, that doesn't look right. Can I add a shot of espresso or get you something else instead?" A little honesty and willingness to make it right go a long way. Fail.
