Tribu Caffe

Breakfast restaurant

👍 I came in with my kids early on a Saturday morning. It had just opened but there were already a few families there. Although there were quite a few staff and it wasn't overly busy, it did take awhile to get served, but I'll chalk that up to getting things set up for the day. The staff was very frien...

Fitvengers

Fitness center

👍👍 If you are like me, I struggle with working out alone. I either don’t know what to do or don’t have energy/confidence to do it alone. At Fitvengers not only do you have your personal trainer, everyone here gets along so well and are like family. My current trainer is Ricky and let me tell you- He is...

DaVegiNista

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 Glowing recommendation especially for all my gluten free dairy free (they're also nut free I believe) family out there. I discovered them at a farmers market a couple months back and I'm on my 3rd batch of cookies! Soft, moist, full of flavor, a far cry from the chalky, dusty, gluten-free vegan coo...

Our tour guide Jake was entertaining while giving the right amount of cultural and historical information and weaving pizza into his story. Now....let's talk about the pizza. If you are a pizza lover li...

All Too Well Armitage

Sandwich shop

👍👍 If you are a fan of Evette’s next door, this is a must-try (as it’s the same owner)! Amazing selection of sandwiches and grab-and-go items and groceries. They offer Lebanese food and we tried the I Make You Lamb panini, The Niff Jen (turkey panini), and the pasta salad - all were great. Friendly sta...
