In town this morning for the day and my colleague picked this spot out for a quick meeting before a…read morecustomer lunch. Plenty of street parking and when we walked in- boom! Packed to the walls busy! I arrived late last night so I was dragging and hungry. Ordered a cappuccino and a bacon quiche, and the woman handling the pastry was super nice and offered to heat it up. We found a table and dug in, I saw my colleague picked an almond croissant and got a cappuccino as well. Love this spot. Offerings are so good, plenty of stuff for anyone to enjoy and it's pretty amazing how busy it was at 10:15 on a Thursday morning. Support small owned businesses! I hope to be back sometime in the future!

It's basically a bakery where you pick out what you want pay for it and then find a seat. I got a loaf of bread to go and they were kind enough to slice it for me. It was fairly tasty.

The employees pick out the items for you as oppose to you placing them on a tray with tongs. They had different items I've never had before such as chicken and onion bun, apricot roll and raspberry roll. Everything tasted fresh and the buns were soft. The prices were decent with one bun measuring the size of my hand averaging less than a dollar. "Cash only" at this place and like the rest of the country, you do have to add tax to the final total! Parking can be difficult because street parking is only available.

As DineoutGal A. writes, Cake-Ology is mostly kitchen and very little shop. Similarly, the cake…read morehere is mostly perfect, with very little to suggest. In fact, I'm basing my entire review on the strength of one visit to buy three cake-ettes. That's how amazing the cake here is. The cake-ettes are perfect little bites of decadence. They're fantastic on a day when you're longing for sweets, but don't want to eat a huge portion: a single cake-ette is rich, moist, and very satisfying. Chocolate: This was the heaviest of the three and seemed a cross between a truffle and a cupcake. It's guaranteed to sate a chocolate craving. Red Velvet: This is luscious, and is the only red velvet cake I've had in Winnipeg that's just right! It has both the beautiful crimson tint and the right velvety texture. Vanilla Chai: My favourite of the three. This has a wonderful, lightly sweet spiciness to it, and really captures the warm flavour of chai so well! My only (very small) gripe was with the fondant coating and the sugar sprinkles on top of the cake-ettes, which pushed them over the edge into a little too sweet. The cake-ettes might have been better half-covered (like a chocolate-dipped strawberry). And having said that, I'll add that I'm sensitive to sugar, and many things which most people love are "too sweet" to me. If I ever need a cake for an occasion or some little desserts to bring to a gathering, I know where I'm going to get them. YUM!

The vanilla cupcake kind of tasted like cornbread with filling? But overall good, just different. The staff was super friendly though and I went on a weird day because I think they're closing down?
