Not all dates happen in the evening. If you’re heading out for a Saturday afternoon stroll along the Seawall with your sweetheart, this Olympic Village café is the perfect spot to stop for a quick lunch, or simply for a sweet treat. Fresh-baked chocolate croissants, fruit-filled muffins, bite-sized macarons and creamy parfaits are just a few of the delightful desserts on offer.
Situated in a non-descript building on busy West 2nd Avenue, The Sweetery is a hidden gem of a café. Fairy lights, natural wood furniture and chalkboard menus offer a homely, comfortable atmosphere. The dozen or so tables fill quickly during mealtimes as local workers enjoy the fresh, tasty breakfast or lunch offerings. Despite it being a go-to location for many, The Sweetery is remarkably calm and a welcoming spot for quiet conversations or a productive work session.
