Here on a Sunday afternoon, (they are open 11 am to 3 pm), my date and I (ok, ok, it was my Mom) strolled in after parking the van nearby. Outdoor table was available, seat yourself. Service was prompt and attractive to boot. Tea and strawberry shortcake, tea and scones were our choices. Simply perfect, from the napkins to the tea pots. Delicious food, and I cannot believe the value ... all this came to just over $15. Huh? Eh? You kidding me???? How can they do this? By all means stop in to try a tea and a treat.

I love bread in all forms.

Apparently, Cakebread do a mean garlic loaf - with a whole bulb baked into the center. What is there not to love about that? Anyway, I didn't get to try it, so I can't review it - I just will dream about that instead. Rather, I tried out a chocolate brownie. I've been a little disappointed with brownies since I moved to the states, so I thought I would try out a Canadian version, to see if it could compare to the wonder of the brownies sold in London's Borough Market. Well, it didn't - but it was incredibly luscious. Chocolate icing on top and a surprise of biscuit (cookie) threaded through the brownie itself. I do like a bit of texture when I am chowing down. One brownie was probably a bit too rich for one person - but, I was alone - and I do hate seeing food go to waste. It's called taking one for the team, ok?
