Pickle Soda from Annex Sodas
View this post on Instagram
Annex Sodas just released a new drink that celebrates the mighty pickle in all its briny, dill-y glory. If that wasn’t interesting enough, the pickle soda ups the cool factor even further by using the leftover pickle juice from Lil’ Empire Burger, which has a location within the Annex Ale Project taproom. Whether you love pickles or are just fascinated by the novelty of it all, this might be one of the most unique drinks you try this year.
Available at the Annex Ale Project taproom and various retailers, annexsodas.com

Located in the Springbank Hill area, Be’O is your new destination for all things matcha. Along with matcha drinks, the café serves matcha desserts ranging from choux pastries to tiramisu (which is the one we’ve got our eye on). You can even indulge in a pillowy doughnut from Greedy Donut in flavours ranging from Oreo to matcha (of course).

Chocolate Cake from Our Daily Brett

Earlier this year, Our Daily Brett launched its Market Dinners, bringing a casual and delicious evening dining experience to the restaurant from Tuesdays to Saturdays. The menu features a variety of small plates like garlic prawns and mains like short rib or lobster gnocchi. But whatever you order, be sure to save room for dessert. This slice of chocolate cake (which is giving major Matilda vibes) is bursting with chocolatey goodness thanks to its whipped chocolate ganache and candied cacao nib. Take the dessert to the next level by adding a glass of milk to your order.
