Creemore Bakery and Cafe

    Truly a hidden gem in a quaint town tucked away from the busyness of every day life.
This charming  bakery and cafe is filled with wonderful mouth watering delights and superb coffee.


The sitting area was off to the side which allowed room for quiet conversations or a nice spot to catch up on some reading. The old fashion country character brought a warm home like atmosphere where one could just sit back and relax. There was also an outside patio for those wanting to enjoy the warm weather.


    Along with the variety of baked goods there was also a breakfast and lunch menu available. I decided on the fig and goat cheese danish and found the combination a perfect balance and not overly sweet. The coffee itself is worth the drive back and the customer service was top notch. 



I am already planning another visit and I am anticipating on trying out their cold brew coffee which is brewed on right on site. That will be a great follow up for a nice summer country drive.

Cafe Santropol - Montreal


    It was a crisp day and prior to our hike up to Mont Montreal we stopped at Cafe Santropol. The atmosphere was both light and cheerful with an inviting terrace decorated with beaded paper lanterns dangling throughout and cozy colored cushions randomly placed on couches that transformed you back to the 60's hip era.  The range of bright colorful tables and chairs within an enchanted garden exuberated life yet was peaceful and relaxing at the same time.

    The menu had a great selection of sandwiches, soups, chili and desserts as well. I decided to go with the vegetarian chili served with an array of colorful tortilla chips. It proved to be a tasty choice seasoned to my preference. Being from a European background I prefer it on the spicier side and was not disappointed.

     This is definitely a very unique Cafe with great food and variety of both hot and cold beverages served in an atmosphere that is fun to explore and experience. Located at 3990 Rue St-Urbain in Montreal. Bon Appetit!
