Cobs Bread Vancouver

Making kids lunches is a daily ritual. The hot lunch program will be starting soon, so a few of the days we can skip the chore of lunch preparation.

Sandwiches are a favorite lunch option and bread from Cobs Bread in Vancouver is always a win. You can go in to buy a fresh loaf, and they can slice it for free. Choose thick slices or regular slices depending on your preference.

Cobs Bread always has some delicious items like scones, and savory items like cheese buns and pizza. The sourdough bread is delish as well.

Everything is always so fresh and you can smell the aroma of delicious bread down the street! Cobs Bread also offers seasonal scones like delicious Peach or Pumpkin scones. The pumpkin scones weren't sweet unless you chose the glazed pumpkin scone. 

If you're looking for a great bakery with freah baked breads and scones, open early, check out a Cobs Bread location.

Lykke Stockholm

We visited Lykke in the neighborhood of Södermalm in Stockholm, Sweden to start our day!

Lykke Nytorget offers breakfast items, Swedish pastries, and drinks in a cool, bright setting. It's great to enjoy the outdoor seating area on a sunny day.

Lykke sustainable merchandise (bags, shirts and even coffee) is available for purchase in the cafe or you can shop online. Lykke is a Danish word for Joy and Happiness!

If you're looking for nice friendly service and a kid-friendly cafe, Lykke is a good option! There are babyseats and plenty of space for strollers in the cafe.

Lykke is the type of cafe where you can sit and relax or work remotely - look for tables marked that its ok to sit for working.

We really enjoyed our visits for fika at Lykke Nytorget. Definitely a cafe to visit if you're looking for a place to stop in Södermalm for good coffee and snacks!

Kanto Filipino Bistro New Location

We first tried Kanto Bistro when it was a pop-up location so we were excited to visit their new permanent location in Stockholm.

Located in the neighborhood of Vasastan, Kanto Filipino Bistro is the perfect place for a tasty dinner.

A great way to start the meal is with some appetizers! We decided on some egg rolls or Lumpia and fried chicken. There are a couple of sauces included like sweet and sour and vinegar.

For mains, we went with the Beef Tiyula, a flavorful curry dish, we wished it was served with more sauce but otherwise it was delicious!

We paired that with an order of the chicken pancit or fried noodles. This was served with lime and was a generous portion size perfect for sharing. 

For those with little ones, there is even a section of the menu listing kids dishes! 

For dessert, we tried the mango sago and ube cassava. The mango sago was delicious and the perfect Summer dessert. 

They were unfortunately out of the mais con queso, vanilla ice cream with corn and cheese but we will have to save it for next time.  

For drinks, Kanto Bistro now has a larger cocktail list. We tried Lychee & Jasmine Collins, and Red Horse beer.

The outdoor seating filled up after dinner started! It's wonderful to see how popular the restaurant has become!

We think our first visit to the new Kanto Filipino Bistro was even more enjoyable and the dishes were even more flavorful. Hopefully this unique restaurant featuring Filipino forward cuisine is here to stay. Filipinos all over Stockholm have only great things to say about it. If you're in Stockholm with a craving for Filipino food or dessert, visit Kanto Bistro!
