We continue our tradition to honour a real-life community hero namesake with each of our monthly feature flavours. Our last local hero was a famous one: Louis Riel, spokesperson, advocate, and leader in the fight for Metis rights. In honour of Louis, we pledged to donate $1 from every pint of Louis Lavender sold in August to Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre. For October, we couldn’t resist making our famous Peter Pumpkin. So the question was, how do we celebrate a community hero that goes with the season? Once we started our research, the answer became abundantly clear… Our…

If you visit our store at 390 Osborne, the first thing you will see is our sign on the door reminding people that our washrooms are for everyone.    Here are the reasons why this is our policy: We want people to know that we care about people, not just transactions. Our aim is for the first impression on our door to reflect our utmost priority: valuing people above all else. We don’t want to put our staff in the uncomfortable position of policing washrooms, instead, we want them to focus on providing great service. We’ve experienced the discomfort of needing…

We continue our tradition to honour a real-life community hero namesake with each of our monthly feature flavours. Last month’s local hero was Ryder Smith, a 13-year-old boy who was born with cerebral palsy who lives here in Winnipeg.

In honour of Julie, we will be donating $1 from every pint of Julie Berrycake sold in June to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba in memory of her grandmothers Sylvia and Kathy.

In case you’re…

It is made by combining our creamy dairy base with our luscious strawberry sauce.  Then chunks of house-made shortcake are added to provide a buttery and slightly crumbly texture that adds a delightful contrast to the…

We consistently try to uphold our five core values, one of which is our unwavering commitment to CARE FOR ALL ALWAYS. A while back, we posted about a dog in our store on social media, which resulted in a call from the Health Inspector. She kindly informed us that animals are not permitted inside the premises. While we could simply abide by the directive, we recognized that our furry friends are also valued customers. Thus, an idea emerged: ‘Alright, we may not be able to allow them* inside, but why not extend our hospitality to them as well!’ As a…
