Since opening its doors last year, this joint has become renowned for bringing all the iconic sweets of Canada to Torquay. From the Nanaimo Bar (no-bake dessert) and Beaver Tails (hand-stretched fried dough topped with cinnamon sugar), to maple tarts and pecan danishes, you’ll feel like you’re right in the middle of Canada – minus the travel fare.
While it’s earning a rep for its Canadian treats, the cafe features creative chefs who love to experiment in the kitchen, making waves for its creative takes on desserts from across the world. Croissants, pretzels, donuts, macarons, ice cream – you name it, this cafe has done it. They even made Maple Bacon Donuts, iced coffee topped with Maple Peacan ice cream, and Pulled Pork Donuts if you needed an idea of just how creative they get.
With lip-smacking Canadian foods that are sure to tantalise the taste buds of every discerning foodie, the humble little café is a must-visit for when you’re trekking down to the coast – especially with its straight-up doughnut cones loaded high with ice cream and all-you-can-fit trimmings every single day.
