This great little cafe took the place of Watercourse Foods when they moved to their new location. (and owned by the same folks) It's dark and often the music is too loud, but I love hanging out at City o City. The menu, featuring vegetarian options like pizza, salads and sandwiches, is quite tasty, and the servers are lovely. Great place to hang out with coffee and cookies or vegetarian buffalo seitan and a beer.

Here's what I loved about this place: intimate experience, fresh decor (including real potted orchids), friendly and attentive staff, interesting menu, fun presentation, well-sized portions, delicious-looking dessert case, great music soundtrack (that wasn't too loud). I had the baked macaroni and cheese and melted chocolate cake. The menu is comprised of simple, straight-forward dishes with their own unique flair. It seems as though the chef truly loves good food and is willing to stick to the basics as long as it's extraordinarily delicious.

And here's what I didn't like about the place: it's small, seating is very limited and somewhat cramped. The mirrors in the bathroom are mounted much too high, so I couldn't check to make sure there wasn't salad in my teeth.

I will definitely return to this place, and it is a good experience whether you want a fun dinner or awesome late night dessert and coffee.

This place has incredibly potential, which is what disappoints me the most. My fiancee, several of my friends and I used to be regulars here. We would come every Saturday for karaoke, and during the week for hockey games, but we got so fed up that we've stopped going all together. The food is great and the activities are fun, but the service is consistently abysmal. There were several occasions that we had to wait ten minutes or more for a server to greet us or take our drink order, and the restaurant was not at all busy. Had it been at all busy, or had it happened only once I could have ignored it, but this was a consistent issue. If you're looking to be completely ignored, then this is the place to be.

Keith framed our beautiful oil painting of Frontenac perfectly.
The store is spotless and the service fantastic.

Alpine Pastries was my sister's first choice for her wedding cake in 2004. Even if it hadn't been, the tasting would have won us over. We enjoyed exquisite wedding and grooms cakes the day of the wedding; then, for the first anniversary, Alpine Pastries offers a small freshly-made cake to the couple as an alternative to freezing a slice of the wedding cake for a year. Photos of their cakes from customers adorn the store and many residents can point out cakes they've ordered or enjoyed at local celebrations.

In addition to their regular selection of cakes, pies, and pastries (my husband swears their Berliners taste just like the ones he enjoyed in Germany as a serviceman), they are the source in Evergreen for challah, hamantaschen, and honey cakes.

I was very impressed with not only the selection, but the service. Jack, the owner, gives wonderful recommendations. He is pleasant and friendly. If given the opportunity, he will talk your ear off but it is always well worth it as you walk away with plenty of great recommendations. He is willing to go out of his way to find and hold things for people. Shopping there is always a pleasant experience.
