Outstanding selection of Latin baking goods, fresh and delicious for pick up only, sadly they haven’t figured out how to create a seating space for their customers..? but it’s not a must, if you’re taking it home.

Hildegard’s Bakery – Menu with Prices – 686 Portage Ave #100, Winnipeg

How exciting! A new bakery with home fired pizza right on the Trans Canada Highway! The new urban home of Integrity Foods that we’ve been waiting for. No more two hour drives north to get this delicious baking and pizza! You will fall in love with the incredible space. The amazing original honeycomb tiles on the floor create the perfect ambiance to go with the delicious baking here. There is loads of seating and beautiful huge windows let so much light in that makes this place an urban jungle with all of the greenery. You can take out bread or have some baking right inside. Pizza is home made and fired in their brick wood fire oven. I’m still so impressed that I can’t get the proper words out of my mouth and into a review. You will not be disappointed with the goods nor the beautiful space. I wish I could give this place six stars!

Arisu Table BBQ & Japanese Sushi – Menu with Prices – 1645 Granville St, Halifax

I have been here twice for lunch, and if you want lunch in a hurry this is the place you want to be. When you enter, you get pleasantly greeted by all the staff you meet. Then you notice the wide open, clean, and modern space. The Mongolian grill used to exist in this space, which was very tired and questionable at times. Although now, I must say Ari Su’s interior feels very clean and certainly inviting after the great renovations they have made to the space. When you arrive at your table you get a pot of brown rice tea, which they top up if you ask. The restaurant has lunch specials ranging from $10 to $20 dollars and the a la carte is also available for you. I tried the spicy chicken bento box and on a different occasion tried the pork cutlet bento box. Both were great, the portions are huge and I always end up taking half of it home for a snack. On dining with friends and family, I havent yet heard a bad thing about the food or service at Ari Su, its holding strong and maintaining their standard since opening. You cant beat their lunch, their service and atmosphere. If you are in the mood for Asian fusion, have a big group going out for a work lunch, or plan on taking that special person out on a dinner date even, this is a great place to eat. I may just need to make a lunch reservation……….soon!

Burlap Coffee – Menu with Prices – 511 40th St, Oakland

Would I return – yes (if I were I the area/ taking BART) Totally missed this 2-month old old store. Slightly hidden behind massive buildings and scaffolding- but super excited for this part of oakland which is slowly taking shape and adding more unique, kitschy businesses Store breakdown: 1. Clean with wide open spaces 2. Features a baked goods section with donuts and croissants 3. Coffee is affordable at $2.50 and extra smooth .. a little too smooth/ lacked depth and strong finish but still cheap and satisfying 4. Offers a small selection of sandwiches 5. Small backroom offers the most seating- wish they’d do something with the dead space in the front/lobby 6. Random baby grand piano I wish them success :/)

Le Petit Chocolat & Cafe – Menu with Prices – 2004 E Carson St, Pittsburgh

Le Petit Chocolat Café Friday, February 9, 2018 10:59 AM I love this bakery. Their cupcakes are absolutely fantastic – perhaps even the best in the city. But product availability can be incredibly frustrating and inconsistent. On three separate occasions, I’ve stopped in at 10:00 or 10:30 am to grab cupcakes on my way to a meeting, and to my surprise, they’ve had zero cupcakes available for purchase. (Unfortunately, it happened again today). I understand that she makes cupcakes fresh each day – that’s one of the things that makes them so good – but if a business opens at 9:00 am, customers expect product to be available at 9:00 am. It would be unfair of me to complain with out attempting to be constructive. With that in mind, I’d like to offer the following ideas/suggestions: * Perhaps she can start the baking process earlier, so that product is available when the business opens. * Maybe she can consider baking tomorrow morning’s inventory the night before. * She could clearly set the expectation that cupcakes will not be available until a specified time, while all other goods are available for purchase starting at 8:30 or 9:00 am. Or, if product won’t be available until 11:00, then perhaps they shouldn’t open until 11:00 am.

Mr Kielbasa Inc – Menu with Prices – 116 N Main Ave, Clearwater

The fresh kielbasa and home-made lunch meats are as good as it gets. Service is very friendly. I purchased some fresh kielbasa and a pound of one of their luncheon meats. They have a grocery area that includes authentic Polish canned goods, baked goods, wines, beer and frozen pierogis. I hear they make fresh pierogis but I didn’t inquire — as this was my first visit and I was mainly there to pick up some kielbasa for Easter Dinner. I would recommend anyone interested in Polish cuisine to visit. It is a real treat to have a place like this in this area.

Brew Ha Ha at the Colony – Menu with Prices – 2612 W 8th St, Erie

I often find myself in the wilds of Erie, PA for work and, though I’m not a coffee drinker, I am frequently drawn to Brew Ha Ha for a delicious tea. Brew Ha Ha is an adorable local coffee shop that is so much more than a coffee shop. Their tea selection is amazing and they seem to have quite a variety of coffee choices as well. Also, unlike many coffee shops (particularly the dreaded “Starbucks”), their food is ON POINT. Brew Ha Ha uses the freshest of ingredients to create their soup, salad and sandwiches. There is not much choice when it comes to soup and salad but whatever they make is fantastic. They also carry a large variety of scrumptious-looking baked goods, which I am too afraid to buy, in deference to my waistline. Locals and visitors feel equally at home at this delicious cafe. It is definitely worth all the “Brew Ha Ha”!

Downtown Cigar BAR – Menu with Prices – 631 S Andrews Ave, Fort Lauderdale

My first time at Downtown Cigar Bar and it will NOT be the last! This is an outstanding establishment. The service , the quality, the selection and the space are phenomenal to say the least! Jess was serving me and she did a job that far exceeded my expectations. Before I came in I parked in the breezeway which is not the parking for the store but I had my dog and wanted to check if they allowed dogs. To my satisfaction my dog was well behaved enough to be a customer. Jess told me where to park, I move to the parking in the back of the store and came in to pick my cigar. The very knowledgeable Jess helped me pick out a gem of a cigar and I sat down for the next few hours to great company and a few drinks. I highly recommend stopping by if you are a cigar enthusiast.

Charlie’s Cheesecake Works – Menu with Prices – 1179 Redmond Ave, San Jose

if you havent already, you MUST try charlie’s cheesecakes. ive been waiting a long time to try their products but never had the chance to until recently. the boyfriend and i ordered a box of their sampler cheesecake bites (poppers) and fell in love with it! we also ordered a bigger chocolate cheesecake for a birthday dinner. everyone reported back about how delicious the cheesecake had been. although i havent gotten a chance to try out every flavor that appealed to me, i did try these flavors and absolutely loved them: -their “silicon valley” original (new york) -strawberry -chocolate -blueberry i was not a fan of their latte and key lime pie flavors, but that didnt impact my opinion at all! cant expect to like everything, lol. they have a HUGE selection of flavors…its so exciting! by far, charlie’s cheesecake surpasses the cheesecake factory. their cheesecake is authentic and has the consistency that real cheesecake should have… packed and dense. no integrated cake nor layers of cream frills. just 100% cheesecake through and through. love it!

Sweets & Cream – Menu with Prices – 1114 S Yale Ave, Tulsa

I’ve lived about 5 minutes from this place for over a year and never thought to check it out. Then the other day I was looking for a place to take the wife to satisfy her sweet tooth and found them on Yelp. This place is about as close to perfect as I can think to be honest. For $2 you get to create your own ice cream sandwich made up of any two baked goods they have (and they bake their own stuff so it’s good on its own) and a generous scoop of hand dipped ice cream in a variety of flavors. When I read that they had ice cream sandwiches for $2 I figured it would be something tiny considering the prices that some boutique ice cream shops around the area charge for rolled ice cream, gelato, etc. These were state fair type portions and I struggled to finish mine (blondie brownie, butter pecan ice cream, and German chocolate brownie) but I managed to power through it because it was delicious. The location is great because you could have dinner a few feet away at Tally’s and walk a few laps around the shopping center before stopping in for one of these. The only thing that would make them better in my opinion would be if they were open everyday and if they served hot coffee and cocoa (maybe they do, I just didn’t notice it) but these are just my personal preferences. They keep things simple and deliver an outstanding product at a price that won’t scare families away due to sticker shock, even with them being just off historic Route 66.

Sabor Miami Cafe and Gallery – Menu with Prices – 4848 Broadview Rd, Cleveland

I truly love Latin culture and food. Having lived in Mexico for a few years and visited Cuba multiple times, I occasionally find myself REALLY craving not just Latin food but the Latin atmosphere associated with eating; it’s so much more than just eating. Enter Sabor. Dining at Sabor is like Mariela inviting you into her home, offering you a seat in her front room while she scoots off into the kitchen to prepare a meal just for you: her honored guest. The moment I walked in I felt like I was visiting friends in Cuba! This is not restaurant food. This is…love. I devoured the Miami Tropi-Chop with chicken. I didn’t bother taking pictures because 1) I saw there were plenty of photos on Yelp already and 2) I got lost in the experience. This wasn’t just a good meal, it was good for my soul. I didn’t even touch my phone while sipping on my cafe con leche and shoveling this delicious food into my mouth. If you decide to grab a meal at Sabor, keep in mind that it really is like going to a friend’s house. Mariela puts her heart and soul into making a great meal just for you so be patient, be in the moment, and enjoy! I promise you, you are in for a treat.

Midnight Bakery – Menu with Prices – 11th St S, St. Petersburg

This is awesome! Delicious dessert, baked fresh when you order and delivered hot to your door??!! At 2am?? I had Classic, which is a sort of chocolate chip cake-like cookie, with chocolate drizzled on top. And Honey Badger, a butterscotch and honey flavored cookie-cake. Servings were generous, I ate some still warm, melty and fresh and had a couple leftover to eat for breakfast! I love new, small businesses because they add personal touches and really care about the products they create. Fantastic! Keep up the good baking! I can’t wait to try one of the specialty items! How the heck are they keeping ice cream cold and fresh-baked stuff fresh on the Peanut Butter Fudge Soufflé- when it’s delivered??? I will just have to find out!! ?

Family Seafood Market – Menu with Prices – 3848 McKinley St, Corona

This is a pleasant surprise to find as it is tucked away in an easy-to-miss shopping center. I stumbled upon this market after trying out a Filipino restaurant a few doors down. Let’s just say that my dining experience left me disappointed and inspired to cook up some Filipino dishes. As a result, I checked out Family Seafood Market to see if they had any fresh produce for my craving for beef nilaga. They have a small produce selection but I ain’t complaining! They have the essentials like calamansi, pechay, talong (eggplant), and bittermelon. A quick step to your right and you’ll find yourself in their fish department, which also have the essentials– tilapia, bangus, pompano, etc. There’s even a tiny prepared foods area with 2-3 Filipino dishes, including fried chicken skin. Take another step to your right and they have a freezer full of ingredients for Filipino baking and breakfast. Odd thing is that they have tapa and tocino but no longanisa?! They also have a few aisles of other Filipino essentials, ranging from soy sauce and mixes to flan pans and barong tagalogs. At the cashier, be sure to pick up one of their freshly baked bibingkas. Utterly delicious! They also have BBQ sticks, fried turon, and other baked goods to tantalize you while you pay.
