6 hours roaming Kerrisdale today included visits to favourite spots and discoveries of new ones.
The Kerrisdale Village Farmers' Market was the first stop.
Discovered exactly a year ago and raved about on the blog (read Kerrisdale Farmers' Market - Worth the Trip), this market remains a favourite in the city - great variety, friendly farmers and it always feels cheaper than all the other Farmers' markets around.
And Saturday's are the days to go since Rise Artisan Breads are delivered there every Saturday morning - Tuscan Grape Bread, Rustic White Loaf, Organic Levin. Limited amount and they go fast fast fast. So I was thrilled today to (a) find some left and (b) have dinner plans that the organic Levin loaf will go well with.
Also a new surprise were those lovely chocolate baby cakes in dark, milk and white chocolate (two of each please).
The place is full of little pieces of chocolate art that taste as elegant as they look. More impressive is the number of awards that the personable owner and chocolatier keeps on winning.
Surprising what you'd find in gluten free - both fresh baked goods and packaged ones.
I passed this place many times before thinking it's a furniture and porcelain store. But no, it is a place where you can sit down in a comfortable environment, listen to classical music, drink some unique teas and sample delicate cookies and macarons.
Two special teas caught our nostrils (and wallet) - the Nights in Paris and Exotic Paradise - both exotic smelling with white tea base and a variety of herbs and flowers.
I want to return with my book.
But that is for another day (stay tuned for the review coming up soon).
