St Andrews charges $4.25 for a cookie and $4.75 for a Nanaimo bar. The price of the Nanaimo Bar might ‘just’ pass mustard since it’s gluten free apparently, but $4.25 for a cookie is just wrong. No wonder they don’t post prices. I think these guys are charging what the people who visit this place from other communities can afford, not what their local customers who live in a 1 block radius can afford, and/or what’s reasonable or needed for the cafe to make a decent income. Be fair and follow your morale compass guys. The rest will follow. If you want to cater to what those with higher incomes can afford, maybe give the locals a discount card upon showing the address on their license as compensation for your more wealthy “out-of-community” customers taking up the parking spots on our street. This might also preempt the locals asking for parking restrictions from council. Or maybe a local thanks for your support day for locals who live on the same street.

A shopping trip to North Vancouver lead us to Buddha-Full for lunch. To fully check out the menu, I clicked the Order Now button, where there are more items, and I can check 'Nut allergy' or Gluten 'allergy', select all kinds of Add Ons, check boxes on the 'No List' and the Sub menu. They are Buddha by name only – while Buddhists don't eat garlic – some of the menu items here contain garlic 😟. I ordered the Wild Heart Bowl with the miso ginger sauce, substituting stewed lentils with tofu, my partner ordered the Grilled Please Panini. Both looked good. I found the tofu a bit too dry and hard. The sauce was good. The sandwich was very good and so was the sourdough. We also tried the chestnut latte, but the foam milk was underwhelming. Then, I discovered that the entire 2nd shelf of their sweet treats display is gluten free. These days, because I have so many allergies, I have to check all the ingredients before I try anything, and not being to see what the sweets are made of means I didn't feel safe enough to try anything. I did buy the GF Almond Energy Bar which my partner enjoyed. Most of their customers behave like regulars. If I live near this place, I would become a regular as well.
