If you are a frequent reader of this blog (which might just be my husband and hopefully my mom!), you know that my days are usually a whirlwind. I am a team lead for a health tech company here in Vancouver, and with our team growing, Thursday was a particularly busy one.
I started my 10:00 AM block at the Caffè Artigiano in the Telus Garden lobby. Between 1:1s with my direct reports and a coffee catch-up (interview) for a potential new team member, my head was completely focused on the work ahead. This was my first meal of the day: a necessary breakfast to power through a high-energy morning.
The Art of a Working Breakfast
I ordered the Grilled Cheese Sourdough ($8.25) and a Matcha Latte ($6.15). In the rush of the morning, I completely forgot to ask for my usual oat milk and unsweetened version. The matcha arrived vibrant, green, and pretty, though it was a little sweeter than I intended!
The interview went so well that the conversation just kept flowing. By the time I could take a real bite, the latte and sandwich had both gone cold. It is a classic "busy professional" bummer, but the food still held its own.

Sourdough Sentiments
The Grilled Cheese Sourdough was impressively cheesy. Even though the crust had hardened a bit from sitting out, you could tell the bread was high-quality. The sourdough had that signature tang that paired so well with the melted centre. I don't want to judge it too harshly for the temperature: that was my own fault for being so engaged in an amazing conversation!
