The staff is kind in the place is clean and stocked with a sort of stuff that you probably would not predict. Not completely to my needs, but there were some things about it. I appreciate it. One of the things it's difficult to get at this time is obscure DVDs since Best Buy has scaled back their selection, and there really aren't DVD stores anymore, but they actually have a DVD section that has some fairly obscure stuff that is worth at least checking out if you're having a hard time finding stuff in town . Maybe they won't have anything that's really your thing, but I would say the store is definitely worth a browse

The pictures that I have captured are only a fraction of what Blackbird has to offer. Inside there is a lot of seasonal farmhouse decor, beautiful home furnishings, and souvenirs. Blackbird also occasionally offers a large furniture pieces such as kitchen tables, benches, and flower planters.

I had lunch here recently with my husband's family. We were a party of 10. For a restaurant in a…read moretiny village, I was pretty impressed. So Marcanda is actually a gift shop, clothing store and restaurant. The gift shop has really cute kitschy gifts. They have things such as decorations for your cottage (like a sign shaped like a buoy that says "Go jump in the lake!"), and what I affectionately call "dust collectors" like crystal birds, and other things that look pretty, but just sit on the bookshelf/mantle and collect dust, lol. They have soaps and candles too. Their clothes were not exactly my style, but would appeal to women who like to shop at places like TanJay and ALIA. I noticed many pieces were made in Canada. As for their food, it's basically soups, sandwiches/wraps, salads and quiches. So café fare. I had the Marcanda Sampler ($11.99) which consisted of the soup of the day (which was tomato beef macaroni), the quiche of the day (which was a spinach, bacon and feta), an herb scone, and your choice of Mandarin, Caesar or Garden salad (I chose the Mandarin salad). The Mandarin salad consisted of mixed greens, mandarin oranges, strawberries, sliced almonds and red onions. It usually comes with a poppy seed dressing, but I substituted for the "Summer Citrus" dressing. The ingredients were all fresh and the dressing (which I got on the side) was sweet and lemony - tasted like lemon and honey. It was good. The soup was full of chunks. It was my kind of soup (I hate soups that are just broth). This one was full of beans, ground beef, macaroni, tomatoes, onions and carrots. It was really flavourful, but not too salty, nor too fatty. The scone I could take or leave, but I'm not really into scones. I took a bite and gave the rest to my husband. He loved it though. The quiche was excellent. It was full of spinach, cheese and bacon. The egg part wasn't too runny, nor too firm. It was just right. I usually do not eat the crust of quiches, but this crust was fantastic; I even ate the edge part. The crust was so crispy and didn't taste like it was full of lard or Crisco (which is what I hate about crusts). I also got the Peanut Butter Ice Cream pie for dessert. It was so rich and decadent. The ice cream had a strong peanut butter flavour to it and it went so well with the Oreo cookie crumb crust. The crust was minimal (which is my preference). The ice cream had some peanut butter crisps in it, which gave it some nice texture, some of the crisps were sprinkled on top and on the plate too. The chocolate sauce drizzle was also delicious. It tasted like it was made of real chocolate, not that cheap syrup. We were there for a Saturday lunch and the place was completely empty. We were the only customers. I was a bit surprised, but it was nice to have the whole restaurant to ourselves. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and desserts. Service was nice and friendly.
