Delightful. Cute little shop with wonderful treats! I come here to satisfy my sweet tooth (not very often, though, or I'd eat myself into obesity and/or diabetes) and have enjoyed everything I've tried. Their cheesecake brownie is to die for! I love stopping by just to see what they've whipped up. Delicious treats and reasonable pricing.

Pulled pork at a patisserie?. I unexpectedly wound up working a 12-hour day when I thought it was going to be an 8-hour shift, and had just brought one meal of leftovers from home. So on my second hour-long meal break (I LOVE my job!) I decided to go out for a bite, since I would raking in about $150 more than usual. (Did I mention that I love my job?) The First Nations place that was my first choice didn't resume serving food until 5 p.m., and the Malaysian place that was my second pick was closed on Monday. But Chiffon Patisserie had a chalkboard sign advertising pulled pork on a ciabatta roll with a bowl of soup for less than $10. I've passed by this place plenty of times and always figured it was a pastry shop, so I never stopped in. But for pulled pork, hell yeah!

Chiffon has some interesting pastries, but the bulk of the blackboards where the menu is chalked are devoted to sandwiches and breakfast items such as omelettes. My pulled pork came in an airy, triangular ciabatta roll, whose dimensions were wider than a medium-sized pizza slice but not as long. It featured a high stack of moist pork, with a bit of smokey flavour to the meat and a tangy Piedmont-style barbecue sauce. There was coarsely-cut slaw underneath, enough to balance the meat but not so much as to overwhelm the main attraction. Chiffon's sign said their soups are homemade, but the cup of cream of mushroom that came with the sandwich tasted like the bland Campbell's version that I ate buckets of when I was a kid. Not that there's anything wrong with that taste...

I gotta give a shout to Chiffon's cappucino, too. It was mid-afternoon and I needed a caffeine kick to get me through the final four hours of my shift, so I ordered a large. It didn't have the intense dark flavour of what I espress at home, but it wasn't milky or burnt, either. The foam -- and there wasn't too much of it, thank goodness -- had a nice brown ring of crema around the edges -- evidence that it was espressed well. It was almost as good as Australian coffee.
