CoffeeCrew.Com Micro summit · Friday November 25, 2005 by colin newell
This just in – Dave A. from Ottawa is coming to Victoria next week on business. Interestingly, I have been working with Dave on the website for 2 years or so and this is our first meeting.
Dave has not been to Victoria before so we will be lining up all the best cafes and restaurants for him to check out first hand.
Past summits have included trips to Toronto to see Sara and the Toronto gang as well as Sara’s numerous visits to Victoria.
Tofino - Pasticceria Conradi · Friday October 14, 2005 by colin newell
New food spot in Tofino – Pasticceria Conradi :
Heading into downtown Tofino? Turn left at the 4-way (there is only one, maybe two 4-way stops).
You see The Common Loaf bakery on the left? Yes? Well keep going there little sister, because on the other side of the side street is a new Bakery-Trattoria-Pizzaria called Pasticceria Conradi. Let me tell you, this is just what the doctor ordered.
Maybe, just maybe it will be a wake-up call for those people that run the Loaf that serve that dodgy brown stuff they call coffee. This new place gleams.
They have an Astra espresso machine.
They serve Serious-Coffee brewed right. The espresso is real and served with a smile. The food is to die for.
Just in for coffee? Get an Americano and a glazed or powdered Bombolino (Italian doughnut) – a fist-sized wonder of pastry-flour, oil and sugar, filled oh-so-gently with custard and deep-fried. Yum-yum, have another. My wife and I visited 2 days in row. Coming to Tofino? Make sure you stop here.
