I am so thrilled to have found Beaches Bake Shop, tucked away in a strip on Kingston Rd between Main and Vic Park. I commend them for being able to thrive during all the Kingston Rd construction, which I can imagine would cause lots of local businesses pain and reduced revenue, due to the amount of noise and road work.
Anyway, on to the good stuff. I was looking for a place to order lunch for my staff. I had originally picked FOOD DUDES because they were close to me and I saw a variety of options that would cater to my staff. After walking to their pantry to find out that their Facebook operating hours were incorrect, I set my mind out to find something else with basically no notice. I came across the Beaches bake shop webpage and Facebook and saw that they had good reviews, and had a nice selection of salads.
At 9am on the morning of my staff lunch, I spoke to Anna and she said she could accommodate my group for my requested pick up time of 11:30 - full quiche and two large quinoa salads, all made fresh to order!!!!! I was mind blown, I thought I was just giving her good business, but in fact, she was catering to my needs.
I arrived promptly at 11:30 and my quiche was cooling and waiting for my arrival . She packed it up in a pizza box, along with my two tubs of quinoa salads I. One with broccoli, bacon, and almonds, and II. The other with tomatoes, snap peas, feta, and corn. Everyone was so friendly, and she even gave me additional gluten free options for my future visit.
As an added bonus, I could not leave without trying one of their highly rated Swedish cinnamon buns.... Soft, fluffy, without glaze, but loaded with just the right amount of cinnamon and definitely hit the spot.
My staff said the food was delicious, and I watched some of them grab second servings. Everything was wiped out quickly and my only regret was not ordering more food.
can't wait to come back again.... Thanks again!
