The apple crepes had some white cheddar inside which complemented the caramel nicely and they were nice and thin. We sat outside on the patio on the picnic tables -- the service was friendly and I would come by this spot again! I was expected the potatoes to be fries but was pleasantly surprised by the cubed potatoes with green onions.

The coffee was okay. It was coffee. But let's talk the shakes. Omg so good. Definitely get one! This is a must brunch place. Worth the drive if you're coming from the city!

I dropped by Bubbilicity Tea Shop for a bubble tea. It's co-located with Dumpling Bowl. Overall, my…read moredrink was good. I got a regular-sized coconut milk tea ($4.99) and added tapioca pearls (an additional $0.75). I forgot to say half sweet, so it was full strength sweetness, which was way too sweet for me, but that was on me for forgetting. The drink itself had a nice potent coconut flavour, but the tea flavour was very subtle. It was smooth and not gritty, and was rich and creamy. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy, how I like them, but they could have been more generous with the amount as I finished the pearls way before I finished my drink, so was just drinking milk tea with no toppings for most of my drink. Overall 3.5 stars, but I am being generous and rounding up. Hopefully next time they will follow my example of generosity and give me more tapioca, lol. Service was friendly and efficient. The inside is small. They have 4 regular tables of 4 and a high table for 2. Street parking only.

Went to this place on a hot July afternoon because they had ice cream posted. One scoop for $2 or…read moretwice scoops for $4. The young female working the cash could barely speak English and literally all we were ordering was a BBT and three ice creams. I asked for one scoop of chocolate with whip cream. Kids had two scoops each, one strawberry, one chocolate. You would think they would serve the ice cream first, then make the BBT. We sat and waited for probably ten minutes before anything showed up and everything was wrong. My one scoop of chocolate came with sprinkles and the sprinkles were hard like rocks. The scoop of ice cream was tiny, like an inch and a half in diameter and tasted like store bought ice cream. The two kids only got one bowl with two scoops, one chocolate and the other strawberry. The BBT came out fine. We had to get her to make another bowl of ice cream for the second child. We were also the only customers in there. The cost came out to over $25 and I think we were charged twice for one of the two scoops. Basically five scoops of ice cream and an $8 BBT. I had been here before the pandemic and it was good, but something changed and I think it was a language barrier. If you're going to have someone facing customers, at least make sure they can understand their own menu! After that debacle, I will never go there again!

It makes me sad to have to down-rate this Tim Horton's location to only 2 stars, but it's for the…read moresame negative reasons I encounter every time I visit. I work right across the street from this location, so there's not many places I can go to for my lunch break (and trust me, I'll eat about anything during my hectic 8-hour shifts). Unfortunately, this Tim Horton's makes me want to start packing my own lunch, due to their horrible customer service. The manager (or I think), named Terry was really rude to me two days in a row. On Tuesday at around 4 pm, I had requested my usual, a Steak and Cheese Panini. She told me with a rude tone that they ran out of the steak, so I was looking at the menu for another option. She seemed very agitated, while she stomped on the ground with one foot, (there wasn't anyone behind me). So, I decided on the Ham and Swiss, she said they ran out of bread as well. She never indicated to me that they hadn't had any bread before I took the time on deciding, from my short 30 min break. Feeling rushed by Terry, I settled for the Ham and Swiss on a bagel. The sandwhich was slammed on the counter for me to pick up by another worker, and once I opened the package, the ingredients had fallen out of place, with the bagel not cut-through properly. It was one, big, sloppy mess! On Wednesday (yesterday), at around 12 pm, I had come back to order the Steak and Cheese Panini before my work. Terry greeted me again, and I had politely asked if they had the Steak and Cheese Panini. She broke out with the attitude again, and said that they always have the Steak and Cheese. I mentioned to her that yesterday, that she had personally told me that they had ran out of the Steak. She unapologetically said that they don't have the Steak and Cheese at night. I mumbled that 4 pm wasn't night time, under my breath, while she gestured for me pay. I had gotten the chicken noodle soup along with the Steak and Cheese panini, with chipotle sauce. This has been the third time that I haven't recieved a roll of bread with my soup, but I didn't bother asking for one. As for the sandwhich, it was fairly good, but the chipotle sauce seemed watered-down. Overall, I have to say that I am not impressed by the service at this location. I hope it improves soon, or they will start losing customers.

I didn't want to tell him; I was shopping for him :-). But he found me! When I came in, the uncluttered displays had me hooked. I like that they offer a few of any kind, without overwhelming the senses, as opposed to having trays and trays of the same things - so that each choice is not special. That's not the case here! The treats are beautifully laid out. I've indicated that the price range is moderate, although one might say it's pricey. These wonderful truffles are in the range of about $2.30 each which is about average for individual quality chocolates like these, and some of them are hand painted. However, ALL of them are beautiful to look at, as well as being very tasty. I bought a few as a gift. And he seems to be enjoying them. Oops, he might be reading this! Happy birthday, Honey! LOL

While the variety for frozen yoghurt flavours at this place is moderate, the variety for toppings is sooo great - from salty pretzels to sweet mochi. The price is calculated per grams of product you get so you can adjust as you like - which is great for people like me that can almost never finish their food. I would give a higher rating if the service was more friendly because the guy who was at cash was rude and seemingly didn't liked that we dined it (he wouldn't stop staring at me and my friend so we just decided to eat outside). It was a while ago so I hope if I go there next time I will get better customer service.

I've never had a florentine before and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it really hit the spot for my sweet craving. According to the description, the florentine is made with the Stubbe family recipe of local honey, almonds, and orange peel, plus a thin layer of dark chocolate and plenty of sliced almonds on top with honey. It was delicious! Despite the honey, I didn't find it too sweet. I love nuts and dark chocolate, especially together. The cookie part was buttery and you could definitely taste the orange peel, but it wasn't overpowering. Nice crunch, but not crumbly. Would've been perfect with a hot cup of black tea. I wish I bought more. Would love to try other Anna Stubbe chocolates and treats. Their bonbons are beautiful!

They did process the refund upon request but I doubt I would have unless I followed up. I would never use again! On the bright side the AnnaStubbe location had exceptional customer service and more then willing to help!

The server greeted me right away and asked if I wanted regular hot chocolate or spicy. I chose spicy (I love spicy anything)! It took maybe 10 minutes to make, which is a while, but you can browse the store in the meantime; the variety of chocolates was stunning! They also have 3 types of chocolate cakes you can purchase as slices. I chose to take it to go, but if you have the hot chocolate there, they are served in tall pretty glasses. The hot chocolate was piping hot, and quite rich; the spices really crept up on you, and made drinking it an interesting experience!

I wish the ice cream had larger almond chunks instead of the little pieces, but there were lots of pieces spread out all over. The ice cream was bright green, not sure if it's artificial, natural, or both. Regardless, it the ice cream was good. There's a white chocolate or dark chocolate dip, I assume the ground almonds are optional. The dark chocolate and almond dip went perfectly with the pistachio ice cream. The waffle cone itself was a bit crumbly and the bottom of mine sort of crumbled off, but it tasted great, not too sweet. Love that they're a Canadian company!
