Same location but new look and updated name! Now called the Secret Garden Cafe, the bistro is still…read morelocated inside Shelmerdine's Garden Centre. The best part is that it is now about 10 times bigger than the previous set up. Loads of seating and an upgraded menu to go with the new look. This is a long time coming as the garden centre is out of town and a bit of a drive from most food venues. Definitely worth skipping lunch at a fast food chain and supporting the cafe that has some surprisingly fresh soups, salads and other menu items. Cool off with freshly made lemonade or a selection of multiple flavours of gelato. Lots of other cold and hot drink choices including coffees and teas. If you're heading to the garden centre, be sure to stop in to the upgraded cafe.

If you have any room left, they have the cutest smoothies and desserts - however they stopped making the Pon de Ring donuts because importing the ingredients from Korea to make them was too costly.

Three or four tables have power receptacles, and the staff is friendly. Everything about this place says that it should be a 5-star, daily visit, favorite. Except it's not. Don't get me wrong. I find myself going there more and more. It is just somehow less relaxing than a starbucks. On fire. I can't pick just what it is. The inconsistent décor, the stripmall flooring, or utilitarian seating arrangement. It just lacks character. It's a fine enough place. And I really would suggest it to anybody. I really do like it. I just can't love it.

The blueberry muffin was dry but the chocolate chip was moist and perfect. The main thing that will bring me back is sandwiches that we didn't even order.

On my final full vacation day in Winnipeg in early July, I had a hankering for schnitzel. I have…read morenever had any here. I did a search and Sam's appeared. Sam's has been around for over twenty years. I had never heard about it, likely because I didn't frequent too many eateries on Ness Avenue when I lived in Winnipeg. I had to visit. It was easy to find Sam's. The huge sign helped. It's across the street from a 7-Eleven. This eatery has a drive-thru. I normally like hitting one, but decided to dine in. I backed my car into a parking spot and walked it, passing by a couple of bikers who were about to leave. I was greeted by the nicest man. He said that I could sit anywhere and he'd come over. I sat in a cozy corner. I got a menu. I was happy looking at everything. I got the following items: - Red berry hibiscus lemonade - Chicken schnitzel in hunter-style sauce with spaetzle The hunter-style sauce consisted of mushrooms, onions, and light garlic that are sautéed in a pan with clarified butter and gravy. It sounded perfect. My red berry hibiscus lemonade came out first. It was refreshing and yummy. I don't like lemonade with a ton of sugar. This one was perfect. It had a hint of sweetness. I love hibiscus and lemon together. It was a generous size, too. My chicken schnitzel plate came out next. The schnitzel was delicious. The chicken was juicy with a thin, crispy coating around it. The hunter-style sauce was delicious. I love anything with garlic, mushrooms, and onions. This sauce was divine. I haven't had spaetzle in a while. I was fortunate to have some when I was in Frankfurt nearly a decade ago. This spaetzle reminded me of what I had in Frankfurt. It was yummy and authentic. This place had German chocolate cake, which I love. However, I was too stuffed to get some. Next time! I paid at the counter. I used my credit card and tipped. It was a smooth transaction. I needed to use the washroom. I had to ask the man to unlock the door. It's a single stall for the women's. It was clean. No complaints. This place is a gem. It offers authentic German good eats. I'd return again when I'm back in the city. (333)

Surprised to be the first review for 'D Spot Dessert Cafe' as this has been a raving new trendy…read moredessert spot. For a first timer the menu is a little overwhelming as the options range from diner food, multiple dessert options, and hot/cold drinks. That being said, the server was very welcoming but did not offer any suggestions or recommendations to their menu. Apart from that, the ambience is very open and has a very 'retro diner' look with lots of booths. Being a new place there were not many people seated and walk in orders seem to be more preferred. If you are debating on a good and quiet time to go, I had arrived late into the evening at 8 pm and the service was still really prompt. I had ordered the 'Cookie Butter Croffle' and also wanted to try their House brew coffee. I was sharing with a friend and the portion sizing was pretty good for a light bite between the two of us. There were 2 croffles and 1 vanilla ice-cream cup on the side. The croffle was warm and not too sweet when paired with the icecream it was delicious! Almonds and biscoff bits for a nice little crunch and the layers of the croissant were very buttery. Would recommend if you like a lighter dessert as it hit the right spot without making me feel like I'm eating too much sugar. The coffee was straight from the pot and unfortunately did not receive a sleeve for it upon arrival but other than that the coffee was alright. My other friends loved their desserts just like I had and we were overall satisfied with our individual dishes! For a first timer I definitely will be coming back. This place is open late into the evening so if you ever have a late night sweet tooth I would definitely recommend it here as it really hit the spot!

Krispy Kreme is finally in Winnipeg! It opened in June of this year. I don't like grand openings,…read moreso coming here a few weeks later is helpful. This location is at Outlet Collection Winnipeg. It's across from the Liquor Mart. Across the street is IKEA. It's the only Krispy Kreme in the prairies, between Delta, BC and Mississauga, ON. You can get your outlet therapy done first, and then down donuts after you're done. You can also do what I did and just drop by to check out the donuts. I decided to go through the drive-thru. There were many staffers outside guiding everyone. A male staffer asked me whether I was doing the walk-in or drive-thru approach. I said the latter. The former was roughly a 20-minute wait. The latter was double the time. It was 30°C. It was hot and humid. I also knew that rain was coming. I preferred being in an air-conditioned rental vehicle. I also don't have an umbrella. The wait wasn't bad. During the pandemic, I waited three hours for donuts at the Krispy Kreme drive-thru by my workplace in Mississauga. A 40-minute wait was nothing in comparison. It's also Winnipeg, with a smaller population than the greater Toronto area. Sure enough, while waiting in line, I saw dust blowing about. Dark clouds were now over us. The rain came pouring down. Naturally, it was my turn to order. It felt like I was ordering in a mini monsoon. The man over the speaker said to please wait. That's never good when rain is coming at you sideways and you have to crack your window open to speak. I ordered the following items: - A large iced vanilla coffee - Six donuts At the Mississauga location, when I say assorted, it means that staff choose the donuts on my behalf. I said assorted here and the man didn't get it. So, I went with getting three strawberry iced and three glazed raspberry-filled donuts. For the former, he thought that I had said chocolate. More time wasted. I let him know that I was half wet from the rain. I wish that I were kidding. I'm not. I really needed a towel. I got a nice woman at the window. I had to tap twice to pay. The machine did not recognize a drenched credit card. I had to dry it off with a napkin before it worked. I got my donuts and iced coffee. I thanked her and parked in front of the liquor store. I had a couple of donuts and waited for the downpour to stop a bit. The donuts were so fresh and yummy. My favourite is the raspberry-glazed donut. It's the yummy raspberry jelly filling with the glazed donut that makes this donut so special. I also love the strawberry iced donut. So fresh and delicious. Simply scrumptious. If I were here for another week, I'd get a dozen or more. I'm sort of glad that I'm not. I'd probably need a new wardrobe after inhaling a bunch of delicious donuts. The iced vanilla coffee was cold and hit the spot. There was little sugar in it, which was perfect for my needs. The vanilla wasn't as strong as I'd like the flavouring to be. It does have milk. If you are lactose-intolerant, you may want to order it without the dairy. I had a good experience, minus the downpour that accompanied me at the drive-thru. I'd love to return when there's no precipitation and get a dozen donuts next time. (256)
