Today is National Truth and Reconciliation Day, which means no work on a Tuesday. My spouse and I ran some errands at Canadian Tire and decided to hang out and finally try Avik Café along West Broadway between Heather and Ash.

This café is like Vancouver: diverse. Where else can you find a spot that serves a beef bulgogi sandwich, Vietnamese sub, caprese bite, and chicken pie alongside delicious-looking croissants and traditional Japanese matcha and hojicha? My mouth is watering again just thinking about it.

I prefer savoury things and got the chicken pie. It's so delicious - it has that sweet and savoury flavour profile that reminds me of Filipino lumpia but between a flaky dough. Then, for a drink, I went for an iced matcha latte. It's unsweetened by default, which is a perfect partner for what my husband ordered.

My husband went for the pistachio cream croissant. The sweet pistachio cream on top of the buttery flaky croissant is perfect. He paired it with warm and slightly bitter hojicha.

I can't wait to come back and spend hours here trying their many baked goods or just people-watching.
