Morning Treats at the Little Paris Bread Co.
Start your day at the Little Paris Bread Co., a charming French inspired bakery known for its artisanal breads and delicious pastries. This is an egg-free, sourdough bakery, I might add. You will be surprised how decadent everything truly is. They know my fave’s are the Bear Paws, or is it Claws. Not sure, but they are exquisite with their rich dark chocolate and delicate washed icing, to the bite of the buttery pastry, oh my, I need one right now! From flaky croissants to mouthwatering scones, every item is made with love, making it the perfect first stop to fuel your Paris adventure. Be sure to try one of their specialty loaves or a savoury pastry to kick off your morning on a delicious note. P.S. You must arrive shortly after opening, to ensure you see the full selection, because when they are sold out, they close! Awning down = closed! Don’t arrive past 10 am. #trustme on this one.
Taco Time at La Trenza Tacos
For a flavour-packed breakfast, lunch or dinner head over to La Trenza Tacos, a Tasty Road Trips favourite and a must-visit for lovers of Mexican cuisine.

Sweet Treats at Cheesecake on the Go
