Out for Lunch...

Eight of the coffee group went out for lunch today to a restaurant that we had never experienced . It was a great light lunch experience and the ambience was super. It was at a bakery /lunch shop on 124 Street. When one walks into the shop the luscious smells from the items having been baked in the shop earlier this morning waft through the store. Aurora immediately described the baking as gourmet, and rightfully so.. Every item was prepared in the shop. They can only handle 16-18 people for lunch at wee tables at one time. It would be a great place to go for tea and a pastry. We all enjoyed a beautiful croissant with wonderful fillings and warmed if requested. After the main part of our lunch it was then time to choose our pastry delight. Many of us chose banana cream pie and one them chose a delicious looking filled pastry and iced with marzipan. Another popular pick was the mini lemon meringue cake. Some of us shared each others choices and that was conveniently handled by the shop staff. The pastries were eloquent. The space was sparkling clean and you actually ate on china plates and regular utensils. We had a fantastic time socializing, also many laughs plus  many new memories were made by all.
