This place could be a lot better than it is. They have potential! The people that work here are…read morereally nice though. The thrift store area is not super big. They have a lot of comfy sweaters though. Sadly not a lot of Halloween costumes. They do have a nice selection of brand named discounted pet food and some other pet products. The Cafe part of the store has a few delicious treats and my friend told me that his coffee was average and tasty enough. I loved my Cheese Onion bun! It was so cheesy and delicious! The area where the cats hangout is kind of pitiful though. It's basically a large bedroom with two bunk beds and cat toys. The kitty litter area has an upper level and a ramp. I honestly feel bad for the cats in there. I know they are comfortable and behave in a lazy manner but it might be because there is no room to run around in and exercise. But I do love that all the profits from this building store goes to support a pet charity that does their best to get the pets adopted to good homes.

Not sure why it took me so long to try out Empty Cup, but I'm glad I finally did. They have several…read morelocations throughout the city, and I went to the Academy location which was the closest to me. The fruit loop matcha, to my surprise had no fruit loops in it . Instead, it was matcha latte with syrup at the bottom, which I believe was lavender syrup. It's also topped with their coffee cloud cold foam. Regardless, it was darn good! After doing a bit of research on Google, turns out that the combination of matcha latte and lavender is supposed to resemble the taste of milk that's leftover from a bowl of fruit loops. If you're not feeling like coffee, tea or a latte, they have other drinks available including beer and wine. I thought I was coming into a coffee shop, but they actually had a lot more to offer, including pizza on their menu.

I really liked this cafe. It's tucked away but when you sit down it's easy to see all the cool…read moresculptures surrounding it. The chai tea was delicious. Perfectly not super sweet but I added a bit more milk and it helped cool it down because it was prepared warm. The Spiced Lentil plus Chickpea soup was kind of buttery and yummy, especially with the addition of the buttery bread that I am not sure about the type. The bread was really smooth and delicious. The large bowl of soup was a bit too big for me but the smaller bowl was the right size. The other food seem tasty too but the menu is not very big. The waitress was polite and she did not mind giving me an extra portion of milk when I asked. I find sculptures intriguing and marvellous. I really enjoyed looking at them. Be aware that they may ask you to put your backpack in a locker if you plan on checking everything out. I do recommend spending your funds here if you love art.

Went here on a whim because our original dinner plans fell through. I was a tad hesitant as I was…read morenot familiar with the place and hadn't heard much in it's regard. I was so impressed by everything that we ordered that I can definitely see making this a regular spot for a casual lunch/dinner outing. First of all, I am a tea fiend, and the selection of loose teas that they offer here blew me away! I chose one of the fruitier green varieties and was very satisfied. My friend and I each ordered a bowl of soup (broccoli cheddar and chicken gumbo), and split a chicken quesadilla. It was the perfect early dinner. But what is any dinner without... DESSERT! Saucers has a great dessert display case showcasing about ten different dessert options (many celiac-friendly). We opted to share the Tia Maria to finish off the meal, and let me tell you... Best decision of the night. It was absolutely to DIE for; but then again, who doesn't love a dessert consisting of chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream?! Our entire meal for 2 came t just over $38, so definitely a reasonably priced meal, and exceptional value for the quality of food we had. This is a little gem that the world needs to know about. Pass it on.

The food is all very well presented as you'd expect from a higher end restaurant but the real highlight was simply the taste of all we'd eaten. The dumplings, California salad and seafood mix grill were my choices. My friend is a fussy vegetarian - even requesed a few changes to the vegetarian dishes (replace the goat cheese, less pasta/more veggies, etc.) and the chef graciousily accommodated every specification. He wolfed down his salad, 1/2 of my salad and the spagatenni/spicy eggplant, etc. pasta dish he'd ordered. Again, the highlight for both of us was simply that it all tasted great, good portions too (not skimpy, not overwhelming). I haven't been to La Scala in years but will be going back sooner than that in future.

The atmosphere was just as inviting as the staff; there was a side for serious breakfast eaters and a side for coffee and pastries type people. Speaking of pastries- the "cafe style" display of various goodies (cinnamon buns, muffins, croissants etc) was *drool* delicious looking. Will I eat here again- definitely. My husband and I both got the eggs benedict (he got the braised beef, I got the avocado smash). The English muffins were clearly made in store so they did not have that "store bought" flavour.... which some of us may prefer ‍. But the eggs were cooked perfectly soft, the hollandaise was to die for, and can we just highlight the POTATOES for a second . I was skeptical at first because they were a little dark, but seriously- they were amazing. Crispy, salty.. what more could you want. I also had the cappuccino, we know how I love a cappuccino- however this one hit a little under the bar. The coffee was strong so if you're into strong coffee then this is the place for you. Next time I'll try a different warm beverage. We loved this little spot- keep an eye out for more visits here. Next time- Cinabun french toast!
