Doro Dines: Canffle
Pastries are my love language. My Instagram algorithm is fully aware this love and while casually scrolling through my Explore page one day, I froze in my tracks. I watched someone place an adorable mini croissant in a wafflemaker and witnessed the holy matrimony between a croissant and waffle. The birth of a croffle. I began to salivate… my tastebuds needed to try it.
When a friend told me that a neighbourhood joint serving croffles and breakfast opened up, I knew I had to go.
Introducing Canffle, a bright, compact cafe in Vancouver serving waffle-based plates with a range of unique, sweet, and savoury toppings. They offer croffles and let me tell you, it was everything I imagined and so much more.
Toronto: Ice Cream Guide
Creamy, full-bodied, custardy goodness. Dairy or non-dairy. It can be as simple as you want it to be or you can inject flavour bombs through and through. Ice cream is for everyone.
If you grew up in Canada, you probably have fond memories of summers with gigantic spoonfuls of No Name’s vanilla ice cream in the classic yellow 4L tubs. My childhood ice cream palate consisted of that and Breyer’s mint chocolate chip (in its bright green goodness).
Thankfully, I’ve broadened my horizons and now consider myself a bit of an ice cream snob. Depth of flavour, temperature, and consistency are what I look for.
During my latest trip to Toronto, I visited 6 ice cream shops and was not disappointed. Let’s talk about it.
