Bodhi’s Artisan Bakery

Yesterday, while they were clearing the pipes in our parking area, we had to leave and go…shopping? Well, while we were taking the ‘scenic’ tour from our place we were passing a Bakery and decided to give it a try. We had time before the stores open.

We have passed this Bakery many, many times and always think we should try it. We have tried several of the Bakeries here and have not found one that was really exceptional but in we go. This Bakery is small in size BUT you cannot imagine when you try their Scones (just like what we had in Ireland) or their Bread Pudding, just how exceptional this is. This pudding I have to tell you is in individual servings but could very easily serve two. Uh uh….that did not happen.

I could not believe the flavour, texture or yumminess of Don’s scone. Truly! The bread pudding I chose looked too yummy to not try. OMG! I make a New Orleans Bread Pudding and, although it is good, the texture and flavour of this from the Bakery is like velvet.

The coffee is also exceptional. The owner comes around with the coffee pot to refill your cup. Imagine that.

We are not finished with this Bakery – far from it. The free form breads, the scones, tarts, cream puffs are just saying “come on back”. We really will.

If you are ever here in our beautiful City, you have to go here and just take it all in. Thank you Bodhi’s for being a Bakery as it should be.

White Spot Restaurant #122

Yesterday after an appointment downtown, I told Don I would take him for lunch. Due to the crazy one way streets downtown and the very difficult ways to get where we really wanted to go, we took off and tried this restaurant for the first time. Besides I like White Spot, especially if they are clean and cheery.

When we arrived, it wasn’t quite Noon so it wasn’t full. Our delightful server, Val, came over and took our order for beverages and food.

Anyone who knows me knows I don’t try something new every time I go to a restaurant. Since I was 15 years old, the ONLY thing I order is a Monty Mushroom Burger with Extra Sauce and Don teased me, letting me think he was going to order the same thing, but, alas and alack, he ordered the Shrimp sandwich.

While we waited for our lunch to arrive we chatted about whatever came to mind and watching the people start to pour in. When the restaurant is clean, staff are happy and paying attention to their customers, it is a sure sign they will always return. Oh, yeah and the food must be awesome as well.

Don’s sandwich was freaking awesome. So full of whole shrimp, not minced up “guess what it is” filling. Also, he said there were no onions in it. He really enjoyed it but, with a little warning you out there, both our orders were large. So large in fact, the Manager came over to check if the food was okay. We assured him it was but, we were stuffed to the brim. Then, with a smile on his face, he asked us if we wanted dessert. Oh no….

Both the restaurants here are super, one at each end of our City, so you have a choice.
