Andrew Arcello : I love Ritual on Main in Stittsville, ON. The drinks are top notch (especially their seasonal drinks like the lavender oat latte) and they have a fantastic vegan wrap AND a vegan fudge brownie that is DELISH! I have spent many late nights marking student assignments there and love it.
Justine Reyes: My favourite hometown bakery is Night Oven Bakery. I really appreciate their commitment to local ingredients, especially their support for Saskatchewan farmers. They bake everything in a wood-fired oven, giving their breads and pastries an incredible depth of flavour. I’m always drawn back by their canelé, which has the perfect contrast between a deeply caramelized exterior and a soft, custardy center.
Angela Kealey: Sidewalk Citizen. Amazing laminated pastries and sourdough.
Saul Caverhill: La Boulangerie, it has a very European feel and they make the best kouign-amann in Calgary!
