The cheese and chive scone came warmed up with butter, making it all that more delicious. I also decided to go for a pot of French breakfast tea ($4). It was the perfect place to make me wake up. I loved how the front area of the restaurant catered to dogs, with metal holes for leashes to attach and water bowls throughout the area.

Holy Powdered Sugar. This place is awesome. After hearing that they won the hot cross bun…read morecompetition for the second time in 2015, I decided to check out their website. Yup, looks awesome. My partner needed to bring some snacks into work, so I figured I'd pick up some cookies and try out one of their famous buns. The building is a large cube with large windows flooding the space with light. There is a seating area as well as an extremely long wrap around counter that is filled to the brim with a carboholics-dream. From hot cross buns (raisins and craisins with warm butter on the inside of the soft chewy bun) and cinnamon rolls and rasberry buns to lolly loafs and cream puffs and cookies, this place could feed an army of hungry children. They have pre-packaged cookies (and other bars/loafs) for sale that are cheaper than ordering custom cookies (which you can do in store or on their website, which include custom cakes with photos or screen art) and come in bags of 7. I picked up some Afghan cookies, chocolate chip, one other packet and I am on a waiting list for the Belgium Biscuits when they arrive out of the oven. They design wedding cakes or other specialty cakes as well with many different cake flavors. Starve yourself for a couple of days, come fill up on Kidds and drift happily into a carbo-coma. A must-visit!

Nice place but looking a bit tired. Bathroom grubby…read more At first glance counter food looked good - however a closer looked revealed pre cooked frittata, corn fritters, kumara Rosti and potato stack that all looked dry. Bagels the only menu options. Kumara rosti unfortunately as dry as it looked even after heating and was bland. Quiche was better apparently. Also had a ginger slice which was nice but do small it should have been called a 'bite'. Not great

Zeroes is a really sleek cafe located just minutes walking distance from Princess Margaret…read moreHospital. Enjoy lounge seating by a fire place, tall top tables for a casual snack, table seating for a coffee or lunch date or patio seating on a nice day with your pup. The coffee at Zeroes is high quality. Their cappuccinos are smooth and delicious and presentation is nice as well. Hungry? Try their main greek salad. With chunks of feta, fresh tomatoes, cumbers and onions (could have a few more kalamata olives) and a delicious dressing, this is one of the best greek salads I've ever had! Looking for a little more substance? They have various bakery items, muffins and sandwiches, as well as cookies and lollies. Definitely my favorite cafe in Cashmere.

Everything on display attracted my attention and all are decorated artistically. I tried a cookie and white chocolate and raspberry friand and both were fantastic. There is an espresso machine if sugar isn't a good enough morning pick up for you! There's not much space inside, so I wouldn't count on eating in. Would love to come back and try some of the slices.

Menu up top was hard to follow, no paper or countertop menu. Food on display looked ok, except for the soup, which was some type of brown looking congealed gravy. I bought a chicken filo pastry, sweet muffin & coffee. The coffee came out first with a really tasty, decent sized biscuit. Good coffee too. Then they bought out my chicken filo and muffin. There was 3 minuscule bits of chicken in the filo which had a savoury filling but was quite dry. The muffin did not taste fresh, possibly left over from the day before. The shop looks good, but is let down by its food.
