"I always love stopping by Chocolateirs to see what they have available, especially when everything is made in-house. They offer a fantastic variety of truffles, which happen to be my favorite type of chocolate most of the time. I’ve been let down by flavors in the past, but this visit was different. The Raspberry Truffle was delightful, and the Raspberry ganache was just as good. I also tried some Raspberry Strawberry chocolate that I had never seen before, and it was delicious and true to its flavor. Additionally, I picked up some caramel popcorn drizzled with chocolate for my little brother. Whenever I travel, I make it a point to support local businesses, and this place certainly earned a return visit for its specialty chocolates."

"The skinny: super fun bar with great ambiance. Solid (but not blow you away) food Overall: first off the spot is really cool. Cyber punk, anime, vibes with fun graffiti, memorabilia, and multiple TV's playing different Japanese/Chinese/lofi videos. We were so immersed in the different decorations and tv clips think studio Ghibli, old kungfu movies, anime. This spot is fun. For food, everything was fun, uniquely plated, and overall solid. There just wasn't anything that really blew me away. The vibes and ambiance was really what pushed it to a 4 for me. We had the miso soup (fun with a large onion ring you could dip in the soup), takoyaki was decent but a little gooey for my liking. The combo bowl had decent flavors that were well balanced. Would I come back: I think this would be a solid spot that I'd come to hang with some drinks."

"I've been a tea enthusiast for three years, and discovering this hidden gem after dinner was an absolute delight! Tanya and her team offer an incredible selection of teas from around the globe. Their extensive knowledge about every type of tea is another reassuring sign of excellence. Plus, this is the only place in the city where you can experience a fully equipped tea ceremony, complete with a Gong-Fu set and all the necessary tools for this special style of tea preparation. They also have dim sum, which, although limited in choices, makes a delightful accompaniment to any tea you select. So, here’s to raising my tea cupboard in honor of the best teahouse in town! Cheers!"

"This place is tiny but it packs a punch! It was pretty busy the afternoon I went. It's a dog friendly place. So if you don't mind dogs then you're in the right place. Could potentially be a turn off for some. I will say I saw some dog hair blowing around because it was a breezy day. One hair landed on my food. I think wind played a factor into that. It wasn't appetizing when it happened. But don't get me wrong the food was very delicious minus the hair. I got the Stirkey sandwich. 10/10 would recommend. My friend ordered the Green Chili Hummus. Also 10/10! I was really impressed with the food. The coffee not so much. I personally didn't like the flavor of it. But maybe would try something different next time. The only con was the dog hair but still a decent place to check out."

"Located in Aracia Park on E. Bijou St is this cute little tiny home coffee stand. It’s air conditioned inside with a few tables and seats on the patio. You get the view of the big blue fountain and the park. Right next to the stand is the public restroom. My first choice was Honey Vanilla Latte but then I saw SEASONAL OFFERINGS . So I asked and got the iced hazelnut mocha and it was so creamy and buttery. Tasted like Vietnamese Coffee. We also got a coconut chocolate blueberry scone and it was one of the better ones that we’ve had on this trip because it was completely moist. As if I was eating cookie/cake crumble."
