Cactus Club - Frosé™ Review - Vancouver

You know a drink is serious when it gets trademarked, right? I kid you not, Cactus Club [https://www.cactusclubcafe.com] has one drink pegged with a trademark symbol on their Sunday Funday drink menu. Being a basic soul for rosé, I knew it was only a matter of time »

Umaluma - Dairy-Free Gelato in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I love ice cream as much as anyone in Vancouver. Lactose intolerance doesn't stop me from enjoying this sweet dessert but I admit I get pretty pumped whenever I hear of a dairy-free option that's not sorbet. In comes Umaluma [http://umaluma.com], and my interest »

Hawk & Hen - Waiting on Brunch in Victoria [REVIEW]

La Glace - French-Style Ice Cream - Vancouver [REVIEW]

It's not summer in Vancouver without a new ice cream shop opening. For 2017, the eastern edge of the Arbutus Ridge neighbourhood has seen La Glace [http://laglace.ca] open its doors this August. With French décor and an emphasis on handmade ice cream, does this dessert stop »
