Coffee Date


As I had mentioned earlier, my aunt Margaret had come to visit for a bit of catch up. It was a beautiful day so we decided to go check out a new Italian grocer that has just opened up on King st called Alimento.

What a fantastic shop, to the right is a grocer with cheeses, cured meats, prepared foods to take home, dry goods and a bread selection that is all house made downstairs. After drooling through there for a bit we wandered over to the restaurant side. As we pulled up to the all white marble bar there was no chance to resist the sweets that were displayed, I grabbed a brioche filled with a delicate lemon cream and Margaret a beautiful apricot square. It was a perfect way to sit and enjoy each others company while indulging a bit!

After a good gab we wandered back home then said good bye. Thank you and I am looking forward to doing this again soon.

A craving worthy size jar of Nutella

  1. OK, save the Nutella until we get home. Eating that much will make PIP a chocolaholic for sure.
    Love your blog.
