Went downtown again for some quick shopping with Ann. Went hunting for some boots for her and some casual shoes for me (I feel like we're both always on the hunt for shoes). I was trying on a pair of sparkly Toms when Ann noticed my sock swag. Swag like that is hard to miss :)


Appropriate.



Slice of red velvet cake.


Ann's tiramisu.

Their gelato setup.

Bry's banana+nutella waffle.


Spread what Ann said was cream cheese on the red velvet cake.

Behind the scenes fail shot..... ahem.
She decided to call Bryan to join us for wings dindin. While walking to St. Louis, we found TOYKO SUSHI!!! It's a place that my mom used to take me when I was younger and she's been on the hunt for that place for so long. It felt very nostalgic finding it. It'd be nice to take her there and treat her to a place from the past. Role reversal. Tear jerkingly sweet.
Anyway, our meal at St. Louis left us wanting more. (think: stingy) So we went and found
Dolce Gelato. Supernice place, and great service.
Food was kind of meh. The tiramisu had so much powder topping on it that it kind of dried out the rest of the dessert (which was good). The banana + nutella waffle was good. Who can go wrong with a banana + nutella waffle? But it was also just a banana + nutella waffle. Nothing too special that would help me differentiate theirs from say one I could make at home. And the red velvet tasted different from most red velvet cakes that I've tried. This only had the subtle flavour of red velvet and I kept on tasting a strong banana flavour (I thought my spoon has taken on some of the banana flavour from the waffle but at that point I hadn't even tried the waffle yet...). Also, the cake cake wasn't cream cheese.... it was a very sweet something else. (It was okay but I would've preferred cream cheese instead.) The cream cheese was actually turned into a whipped concoction and placed on the side. When I put that on, the cake suddenly tasted AMAZING. (Goes to say that it was meh without it)
This was def. not a review on their gelato, which is obviously what they specialize in, but this is a more of *in case you wanted to try something other than gelato* review. Apparently their gelato is omomomamazing so this is def a place that has to be re-visited.
