On a recent vacation to Vancouver, my hubs and I drove up to Squamish on our way to visit a friend…read morein Whistler. It's only our second time here but it still has a great, kick-back vibe. Of course we had to stop by our favorite cafe and donut shop, Fox & Oak. Love how they have a good variety of vegan and regular options for the donuts (they have gluten free too). I am not vegan but I can't digest milk protein well so I am always looking for dairy-free and vegan options. We got a vegan cinnamon sugar donut, regular passion fruit donut, and vegan apple fritter with raspberry icing to go. While at Whistler, we broke out all three and shared them before having lunch at Hunter Gather. All the donuts were delish!! We were all impressed by how fresh and soft they all were. Also, I didn't think I'd like the apple fritter with raspberry icing that much but I ended up liking it the most! On our way back from Whistler to Vancouver, we couldn't help it--we stopped and got two more donuts! Yep, it was a double donut day. I am not ashamed to admit it. Don't judge me until you try this place. Thank you, Fox & Oak!

This was a great find while passing through Squamish this summer! It's an interesting place with…read morekind of an old-time homey feel to the decor, and they also sell some Italian groceries which you can browse while waiting in line. The menu has an Italian and Greek touch. They also have a full coffee menu, and I noticed the tea selection was especially impressive with quality brands. I got a green olive sandwich, which was an interesting combination of hummus, fig spread and fresh figs, olives, and arugula on a pita. I thought it worked surprisingly well! The overall flavour profile of the sandwich was savoury - the figs didn't stand out as sweet when combined with the other ingredients. I also got an iced tea (lapsang souchong - a tea that I really like but rarely see in tea shops) and what they called an "ugly but beautiful" cookie. I don't know what the type of cookie is actually called, but it seemed like a meringue-based biscotto with crunchy nuts inside. It was good - I liked the texture! I liked how they decorated the store, it had a homey vintage look. They were swamped when we visited but the staff was very pleasant nonetheless!

It was stacked with plenty of meat! I wish it had a bit more of the veg, but it was quite filling with all the meat. The brown sugar hojicha was pretty good. Even though it had a brown sugar syrup, it wasn't too sweet. Overall, it was a great snack and I'd probably stop by again (:

Walking in, we were greeted by an array of freshly baked and beautifully colourful goodies. And knowing they proudly serve 49 Parallel Coffee just added to the excitement. During our visit, we decided to treat ourselves to some coffee and donuts, with each donut falling in the $3.50 to $4.00 range. Our absolute favourites turned out to be the Chief and the Pistachio flavours - truly amazing and not overly sweet. We're definitely planning to return soon to explore more of their offerings.

They forgot to make my sandwich, and after waiting for about 15 minutes I asked about it. They were very apologetic, made the sandwich quickly, and added in a free cookie. We all make mistakes sometimes, but when an establishment tries to make up for it, it is very nice. The sandwich was good, but the Nanaimo bar tasted like the same one I bought from Whole Foods. It's a very nice place to sit and chat quietly with great views, big windows, and a chill vibe.

Alex treated us like guests, patiently narrowing down the vast collection of teas for a few in the categories we chose. I had a spicy, cinnamon-y black tea and my son had an herbal tea, both cold. We wiled away a pleasant 45 minutes first in the shop, chatting with Alex, then to the table and chairs in front. Lucas Teas' storefront is unassuming, so it doesn't look like much. But go on in and savor any of the 100+ fresh teas they have in glass canisters, prepared either hot or cold. There isn't much seating, but again, the place is so narrow that there aren't many options.

They have a great line up of matcha drinks, Vietnamese coffees, and seasonal drinks like pumpkin spice. They also have a pretty large food menu as well. We were able to enjoy our drinks for here on the patio tables in for here cups which is a nice win. Very friendly team working and I highly recommend visiting this place. They took a lot of care to make the drinks look and taste amazing. Worth the trip here. Unroasted: small coffee shop conveniently located on the main road. The staff of two were extremely nice and had great selection. Limited seating inside on the bar top but plenty of seats outside. Really variety of flavors from Uber to matcha. I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee. I recommend a must try.

The dressing blend is a perfect accent to the fresh greens. I had the turkey salad sandwich that comes on GF homemade, grain-free, corn free waffles.

Their GF bakery is also a treasure. We have their cinnamon doughnuts, chocolate muffins, and Boston cream donuts. All were great. Wish the cream in the doubts was punched up with a tad more vanilla, but I can't knock how impressed I was with their offerings. They have a freezer in front to buy shrink wrapped meals. We bought waffles, gnocchi, pizzas, and beef bolognese. Pizza was a 10 for, with pepperoni, sausage, and cashew cheese. The crust needs work. It nearly disintegrated in the oven. (Think more cornbread texture than pizza crust.). Again, not a fatal flaw. You won't be disappointed. Isaac is the general manager and is the nicest person. He explained how the chef was the former chef at the Westin in Whistler and how the restaurant came to be. A must stop on the way to Whistler and with the trip from Vancouver. A true gem! Parking is allowed in the lot behind the restaurant. Don't be intimidated by the signs. It's part of the approved parking complex.
