Morning crepes are my favourite. Whether you're looking for a savoury or sweet treat, the Hibiscus Cafe has you covered. Hibiscus cafe is a small cozy family-run cafe located in Kensington Market at 238 Augusta Avenue. 

Upon entering the cafe, you will notice that it is quite a small space but nevertheless, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The cafe seemed like it was quite a hit because it had quickly filled up. We had to put our name on a list but they were kind enough to give us a call back as soon as a table cleared up. 

The cafe offers a variety of drinks such as tea's, morning coffee, and lattes as well as an entirely gluten free menu. The facility itself is entirely gluten free which makes it 100% celiac friendly.  It is also vegetarian and offers some vegan options as well. So there's basically something for everyone. :) 

I decided to have a vanilla latte with a savoury crepe. I chose the Vegan Mozzarella Tomato Basil Spinach Mushroom buckwheat crepe. My sister had one of their sweet crepes: The Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread Banana (pictured above). When I received my crepe, my initial thought was "this is huge"! The portion sizes are quite big although that's certainly not a bad thing seeing as you can keep some for left overs. For anyone who has a group of friends who want vegan, gluten free, vegetarian options.. this place has it all. For those who still want their dairy, they got you as well.

As an avid pizza lover, I'm always hunting for the best gluten free pizzas. 

I've probably tried every single type of Gluten Free pizza you can find in your local grocer's grocery aisles. I guess you can call me an innovator when it comes to anything that involves gluten free pizza. I'm OBSESSED with gluten free pizza. I guess I made it very clear, that this post is going to be about pizza. 

Unfortunately, I was not able to try it on the day of because I was on an elimination diet, but today.. today is the day! I finally purchased my first box from Costco! :) 

They just launched about a month ago in Costco stores across the country. 

So, here's my official first impression review of the pizza. 

For those interested, I had the Caprese style pizza. 

Initial thoughts: 

When I took the pizza out of the box, I could already feel that the crust was SO fluffy and this was prior to cooking. The crust looked pretty thick which made me hopeful that it wouldn't come out crusty. The caprese style is topped with tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella and bocconcini. 

The pizza is to be baked at 450 degrees F. 

Leave in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. 

Once it's out, leave it to cool down for 2-3 minutes. 

Once it was ready to eat, I could tell without even grabbing it, that this was going to definitely be a fluffy crust. I don't know how they did it, but this pizza is phenomenal! The crust is amazing, so fluffy you really can't tell it's gluten free. The best part about it is that it isn't too dense either, so you don't feel so full after eating a couple slices ;). I had my sister who is non-celiac try it as well to get her initial thoughts on it. I quote her "this is amazing, it doesn't even taste gluten free!".

Let me know in the comments below if you decide to try this pizza. 

Happy eating! <3
