| - Went here for the first time last week with Terry L. for what I was told was the best tiramisu in the city.
With a promise like that, said tiramisu had a lot to live up to - but it rose to the challenge!
Fluffy, creamy, chocolatey, and delicious. Best of all, there wasn't an overpowering taste of either alcohol or coffee, which made my tastebuds extremely happy. Seriously, it was so good I completely forgot I'd promised to give some to Chuck B. until after the last bite.
We were only here to 'grab, pay, go', but I saw some bread I couldn't resist buying and also noticed a lot of intriguing household items while waiting to pay.
The bread I brought was a focaccia loaf with feta, herbs and black olives and it was absolutely terrific. As a person who usually doesn't enjoy olives, they were just the right addition with the feta to make this bread slightly salty, deliciously decadent and completely filling. The bread itself had just the right ratio of flour to olive oil for a nice flavour and texture without being oily.
Best of all, my entire bill was only $6. I'm used to grudgingly paying that for my very favourite gourmet bread, so I was delighted to find Lina's so affordable.
This is one place I'm thrilled to have tried (thanks Terry!) and that I'll certainly be back to!
