The Sweet Escape

I frequently come here in the summer for ice cream. I enjoy the Red Velvet flavour, it has chunks of red velvet cake! 🎂

The only reason I did not give this cute spot higher rating is because of their service. The staff are not as friendly nor welcoming and I am sure this is a consistent theme as I have visited this spot so many times over the years. Each time I visit, they provide service as though the customer is an inconvenience

Had two scoops of coconut sorbet and Russian honey cake. Delicious for a hot day, and seating indoors to relax from the sun. Recommend.

We got a chocolate peanut butter cake here and it was very expensive and not very tasty. The cake was a bit stale and it was mostly icing. First time I’ve ever not really liked a cake.

Pricey but food custard based ice cream! The chocolate ice cream was comparable to Soma's maybe? Nice place to be away in the Distillery too

The Coffee was honestly super delicious, and I also ordered a Caprese Pinino which surpassed my expectations was very filling, fresh ingredients, and just really really good. I highly recommend finding this little spot packed full of flavour!

I mangled my grilled cheese and soup. They make their own bread too.

Quality warm wraps. Fresh. Hot. Good value. Baked goods good too. Chicken wrap = exceptional. I would return.

Ordered an Italian chicken wrap and pear grilled cheese. Wish we had bought every ginger molasses cookie they had. Delicious.

Great chai latte and nice place to hang out at the christmas market!

Best mint chocolate chip crinkle cookie of my life. Will be going back immediately. So good it made it into my diary and I had to find them on Google and leave this review. Highly recommend.

Tried the quiche of the day (zucchini). It was nice, but it was a little bit on the bland side, overall not bad.

When I say that I had the best hot chocolate I have ever had here, I really mean it! This cute spot tucked into the distillery district had a great selection of drinks and desserts and lots of seating for customers nearby! We both had the BEST hot chocolate we've ever had and a delicious salted caramel cheesecake brownie!!

Worst Hot Chocolate I've ever purchased. Tasted watered down and had that gross powder taste/feel you sometimes get at the bottom of hot chocolate, but that started at the half way point for this one. Would be a 1 star if it wasn't the cheapest one to buy in the distillery district, but I guess you get what you pay for (even though it's still $5).

Wish I could give zero stars to this place. Ordered a hot chocolate. It had an aftertaste of pumpkin spice. There was no taste if any chocolate in it

Even the server was very unwelcoming.

Very good grilled cheese, egg bun, wraps and quiches! We really enjoyed ourselves with quality products at a very good price.
