Les Moulins La Fayette

If Hintonburg somehow separated and floated away from the rest of the world we would have lots of:

• Barbershops
• Ice Cream Stores 
• Coffee shops 
• And bakeries/pastry shops (it may be sacrilegious in say, France, but some bakeries over here in Canada dabble in pastries too)

All the stuff you need to live, right here in a few square kilometres!

The most recent pastry addition to our neck of the woods is Les Moulins La Fayette. Actually this place is a triple threat: coffee shop, pastry shop and bakery. Margot stopped by Saturday morning and boy was it rocking! Les Moulins La Fayette is a chain store and while I prefer independent companies it seems to have a nice atmosphere. People were on their computers, chatting with friends*, drinking coffee, doing work or just ordering stuff for take out like us.**

I'm also hoping it lasts a bit longer than some of the other stores I've seen around here. There are too many vacancies on Wellington Street.

* p.s I am always a bit jealous of people who seem to have the time to spend their mornings lounging at coffee shop. Where do they find the time?!

** p.p.s we ended up buying a Caramel cake for a get-together we had on the weekend. Mmmm caramel decadence...
