treats from alimento on king west

Ish and I, and a few of our friends went to Alimento on King Street for treats, but also to rekindle our love for Europe. It reminds me of my trip to France where pastries were literally everywhere, flavorful and delicious - which is an incredible departure from our often dry, crusty biscotti cousins in Canada. For Ish, the rest of the store had amazing Italian food, like canned salmon, pesto, and a selection over 100 cheeses. A worthwhile trip to treat yourself to a bit of luxury. And last but not least, you can sample almost anything in the bakery section. All of the cookies and biscottis. Amazing.

I brought some dark chocolate, pistachio biscotti (dairy free too) home. 
Let's take a closer look. Yes, affirmed - it is amazing.
It's great with coffee or tea (tea and pot from David's Tea. Finally, a pot that won't drip tea along its spout.)
And I also picked up a second batch! Lemony biscotti. Like, delicious almond lemony - not artificial sour lemony.
Yup, amazing.
Cheers, 
Jen.
