This strawberry rhubarb pie to be exact. When I first walked through the doors of Patisserie Du Soleil, I was hit with the smell of some mouth wateringly sweet baked goods. As I scanned the room, my eyes fell on the lower shelf to my left. I thought I spied a cake. I do love my cake. But as I drew closer, I read the tag underneath my wonder cake that said "Strawberry/Rhubarb Pie - $8." Strawberry-rhubarb? How did they know that strawberry-rhubarb anything is one of my favourites! Covered in almonds and extra crumbles from the crust, this pie was coming home with me.
While I waited in line at the register to pay for my new friend (who wasn't going to last long once I got home... some friend, hey?), I eyed up the rest of the menu. A full menu of breakfast and lunch items, sandwiches, soups, eggs and the likes was laid out in large print behind the counter. That's it, I'm coming back soon for breakfast... finally, a place I'd drive across the city to visit :).
