We had a busy afternoon of exploring…read moreand walking all over Kingstong and after hearing about the Lemon Drop coffee from our friends Andrea and Jonny. We HAD to make BSE a definite stop to check out. Surprisingly when we got there this was more than a coffee shop for sure, it was such a time to see the concept of this place; a hybrid between Skate Shop + Coffee Shop. Definitely a creative merge of two different concepts and what a VIBE! They have an incredible collection of skate boards, clothing and foot wear... as well as a SICK little coffee shop in the middle of it. Make sure if you are here to try their Lemon Drop. This was our first time having a drink like this and let me tell you the idea of Lemonade and coffee together have never crossed my mind, but WOW! It was so refreshing, yet a great deal of energy boost. Enjoyed better with their delicious matcha cookie and nutella tart. Service was superb! It felt like meeting a new friend for the first time and hitting it off naturally. What a great way to make someone feel welcome to their establishment, also ask for their recommendations! Some of us tried different drinks too, like their Thai iced coffee and we were so pleased with the recommendation. After we all grabbed our coffees, we noticed they had a patio in the back, so we decided to chill there and take a break before continuing with our day. It was such a quirky and cali warm vibe there, we almost wanted to stay all afternoon!! We loved this place so much, we had to come back again before we headed back to Toronto on Sunday for a second round of their Lemon Drop! I still think about it to this day. Greg and I tried recreating it at home, so from now on this drink will forever remind us of BSE.

The coffee is also amazing and it's served by some personable and friendly baristas that are very knowledgeable about the store's products. They treat customers with such love and respect that it makes such a difference. The backyard patio is a lovely space to sit and enjoy your coffee & treats when it's warm out. And don't forget to check out their collection of shoes & apparel that tends to sell out pretty quickly!

We will continue to be loyal customers due to excellent service and value.

So Ottawa no longer has a bike share program but it does have loads of beautiful bike paths…read more What's the solution? Cyco's. Gord and his team will fix you up. The cost to us was less than the cost of a one-day bike share pass in Vancouver-- and these are nice, comfortable, 21-speed bikes. And the come with helmets and locks and nice young man ensured they fit correctly. So we took off den the Rideau Canal, crossed the bridge over to Gatineau, QC, up the Ottawa River to the next bridge, crossed back to Ottawa and then headed up the Ottawa River till we stopped for lunch at a lovely spot called Remic's Rapids. Then we cut across country on Island Park Drive till we hit the Canal again and headed downstream to Pretoria Bridge and Cyco's on Hawthorne Ave. Extra points: my wife let me in on a Canadian secret. Gord and Bruce are the most Anglo-Canadian names there are. Yannick is the most Franco-Canadian name. They aren't necessarily the most common but the most quintessential Canadian names.

Not only was Tony incredibly helpful selecting style/colors, his craftsmanship was unparalleled. I would not recommend a single other hockey bag company besides Tony's Canvas and Leather.

Thank you, Tony. We will be back year after year!

Not just a mistaken double charge, this time my card was charged for $1644! Keep in mind that this happened 2 weeks after I received the cover and our business was complete. That doesn't happen with a "secure checkout", as is claimed on his website. That happens when a crooked businessman writes your credit card information on paper. When I contacted Tony, I was harassed, as if I had done something wrong by disputing the charge. He has no concept of the responsibilities that a merchant has for keeping your credit card information safe. Don't walk away from Tony's Canvas, RUN. Take notice of how he responds to bad reviews. He doesn't attempt to diffuse a bad situation and save his credibility, he attacks the victim.

While visiting home recently, I decided to play golf for the first time in a long time, but wanted…read moreto do it right by getting a pair of shoes. With this place being the only possible spot in town to carry them, I rolled the dice, stopped in, and became pleasantly surprised when there was not just one, but two options. The price was also "marked down" 50% on both so what would have been a $120 pair cost me only $60. They also had sizes 11.5 and 12 in both. Another surprise. The only thing they didn't have was a pair of nylon socks, so I rolled the dice again and took a dirty, likely germ-infested sock from the used sock box and hoped to leave without getting plantar warts or else some other unrecognizable fungus. Three days later and I haven't had to visit either the podiatrist or dermatologist. Before entering the store, I got distracted by the sales rack and ended up picking up a $10 t-shirt and a $32 pair of running shorts inside (not on sale). The cashier/manager told me he could save me 20% on my total at the counter by simply providing my name and address. Not my email address, which would have likely resulted in me getting bombarded with unwanted spam, but my physical address. Easy enough. My total came to just under $90 and I left one happy shopper.
