I felt like I was in Italy again, and I wished the waitress would adopt me. We also tried their sandwiches on another day for lunch. Their bread is stellar, and they have authentic Italian meats.

After having breakfast at a small local joint (see Cippy review), we just had to stop at this…read morebakery after finding out that this was where they got their baked goods. It was right around the corner from Cippys. It was like heaven walking in their door! The sights and smells of a good Italian bakery welcome you immediately. There were at least 4 different cases of yummy sweet delights. They had a nice selection of cheeses, meats, and shelves of Italian groceries. Items you might not normally find in your local grocery stores. How about some baccala? The star of the show here is their bread. There's a separate room you enter to make your bread selections. Again, the smell!! I didn't see anyone entering that didn't leave with bread. We checked. This place is 26 miles from our house and requires making the trip across the border. We'll be back! 2023-98

The soft moist texture of the bread is like something I've never experienced. The chicken was roasted and sliced, not dry at all, just perfect. The double smoked bacon blew the sandwich out of the park. Service was shot also very friendly and fast. I love this place and I will be back, I wish it was just a little closer to home. If you are in the area, GO GET IT NOW!

I tried the cinnamon french toast which was a bit light in cinnamon and egg for me, and practically needed the syrup to have much flavor. The bacon came in large thick slices and the toast was fairly normal. The home fries were crisp and meaty, though nothing special. The pancakes I tried were enormous but overly thick and not really fluffy. The bowl of fruit came with blueberries, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple but was not really the sweetest in flavor. I thought the prices were alright and the portions huge, but the food was lacking in terms of flavor and texture.

It is a small place but if you want local food that is delicious this is the place to come. We had the breakfast poutine which is huge but so savory. Price are very reasonable.

We enjoyed the skillet pancake, Brie and Bacon jam burger, hot mess, iron bowl and the bacon cheese burger. Skillet pancake, Brie and bacon jam burger and the hot mess were all winners.

Lots of sesame in the iron bowl so be prepared for that if you order.

It feels welcoming right away and has that kind of intimate neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. I got the pork belly and brie benny and really loved it. The pork belly was rich without being heavy and the brie added that creamy touch without being too much. The whole dish was super flavorful without tipping into greasy. It looked like a lot at first, but it was so well balanced that I ended up finishing the whole plate and even surprised myself a little. Also, shoutout to the service because everyone was so friendly and quick. Definitely one of those spots that is worth showing up early for.

I grew up 22 blocks from the original White Spot in Vancouver, and have fond memories of eating at…read morethat White Spot (and others) for most of my life. (A particularly fond memory is sitting in the car with my brother after we had ordered through the car hop service at the former Granville House, listening to Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show on CBC, and seeing the tray swaying up and down because we were laughing so hard the car was shaking.) That is, until I moved to Ontario, because White Spot is a B.C.-only kind of place. Since then, they have spun out Triple O's. You can find them in Alberta, Ontario, and even Hong Kong. Triple O's is a kind of mini-White Spot, but it's actually sort of the "best of" from the White Spot I remember: burgers, fish and chips, and shakes (minus the "Chicken Pick'ns", which, sadly, have also disappeared from White Spot's menu). White Spot still offers those dishes, plus a bunch of more upscale fare, and dining at White Spot is no longer affordable. Now, it's the kind of place you go for special occasions (unless money is no object). And, sadly, Triple O's is also at the top end of pricing for fast food joints. But still, for this homesick B.C. boy, chowing down on a Legendary burger took me back. It's still as good as I remember. But, to be fair to those who didn't grow up with White Spot, it may just come across as good, but overpriced.
