    Lemon square!
    Doris H.

    I was just craving for takeout the other day and added The Lemon Square into my order because I wanted dessert! I had absolutely no expectations for this and yet somehow found myself halfway into the list lemon square in the blink of an eye Let me tell you something. It's simple. It's tasty. And it's addicting. I am not a huge fan of coconut at all but in this? I could BARELY taste it. And the citrusy punch was just the perfect amount needed for a lemon square. The icing to graham ratio is truly just the right amount. And you won't be stopping at one bite. My only issue is that I ate it too fast and now I ordered some for the office and I'm pretty sure they're all gonna be gone by the end of our meeting.

    Found this random small stand in Granville Market and was given a sample by the gentleman (probably owner) of the stand. The lemon square had this really nice taste to it. I believe there's bits of lemon zest and coconut in the product. It's just something that you need to try. I ended up purchasing a couple of the squares as they were super tasty.

    You're kidding, right? This is a bar of sugar, with a bit of lemon sprinkled on top. Don't waste your money. Suck a sugar cube. Ick.

    I had a sample and wasn't that impressed. My favourite lemon squares are Meinheart's.

    This is an amazing Italian specialty grocery store and deli…read more So much selection from fresh pasta to fresh meats and cheeses and pasta sauces. I bought the meat balls and took them home and found out they are amazing!! So delicious and the best meatball I have ever had,wow! It is an amazing store and the atmosphere is so Inviting and I could spend hours browsing. There is a deli with sandwiches and you can enjoy it on the patio outside or upstairs there is a seating area. Lots of help if you need to find anything or choosing the seasoning or ingredients. Free parking out front.

The atmosphere reflects its reputation as a go-to spot for authentic Italian ingredients, and the staff maintain an efficient workflow despite the crowds, especially during busy times like holiday weekends. Service Quality The ordering process for the Meat and Cheese Antipasto Platter was smooth and professional, though slightly more involved than standard takeout. Calling the deli to place your order and then prepaying via a follow-up phone call ensures accuracy and convenience. On the pick up day, go to the side of the deli counter and get the attention of a deli employee. He/She will get your order in the back, letting you skip the main deli line. Staff were efficient and helpful throughout, making the experience seamless. Menu Variety The antipasto platter was thoughtfully curated, featuring a range of premium meats, cheeses, and accompaniments. The inclusion of mortadella, Genoa salami, and prosciutto alongside cheddar and provolone cheeses showcased a balance of classic Italian flavors. Additions like roasted red peppers, artichokes, and olives complemented the platter beautifully, creating a well-rounded offering for a group gathering. Food Presentation The platter was professionally assembled and ready to serve straight out of the box, which was a major convenience. The arrangement was appealing, with neatly layered meats, cheeses, and colorful accompaniments that added visual interest. It was an impressive centerpiece for any table. Food Taste and Quality Every component of the platter was fresh and flavorful, with the meats and cheeses maintaining their integrity and texture. The salty, savory notes of the prosciutto and Genoa salami paired perfectly with the creamy provolone and sharp cheddar. The roasted red peppers and artichokes added a burst of tangy richness, while the olives provided a briny kick that rounded out the platter. The quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. Portion Sizes The platter for 10 people was generous, providing plenty of food to go around and even leaving a bit for leftovers. It's an excellent choice for entertaining, offering both quantity and quality without requiring additional preparation. Price and Value At $59 plus tax, the platter is a great value for the convenience and quality it provides. While you could assemble these items yourself for a comparable cost, the time and effort saved make this platter well worth the price, especially for holiday gatherings or special occasions. Overall Experience and Recommendation Bosa Foods' Meat and Cheese Antipasto Platter is a standout option for entertaining. From the fresh, high-quality ingredients to the thoughtful presentation and efficient service, it's a reliable choice for anyone looking to impress guests without the hassle of assembly. Whether for Thanksgiving, a casual get-together, or any other event, this platter is a no-brainer.

    Dumpy old school supermarket on Hastings, just W of Nanaimo. This place has been around for…read moredecades. Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. The place is dirty and old, but don't let that scare you. The place has expanded over the years, so it takes up a few storefronts, joined haphazardly by some interior doorways with ramps. Fresh food on 1 side, and boxed goods on the other. What surprised me is that they also have a hot food section. Good for grabbing a quick meal, though I didn't try. Pricing is very reasonable. Quite a bit less than the big chains I might say. Nice and basic and does a great job serving the neighbourhood.

For an independent, locally-owned business, I felt it was quite expansive and could be a place to get all your groceries from. I also love the fact that they focus on local suppliers to fill their shelves. Quite busy in there, but it goes to show what a staple it is for people in the area. Can't forget about the hidden gem where there's take-out chinese food. The portions are veryyy generous and super delicious. Even has a drink stand-area at the front of the store with a ton of options to choose from; although I haven't tried it yet, the drinks look pretty delicious. Overall, great store to get things from and very reasonable prices, just don't go at peak times because it'll be swamped!
