Today I met with Sophia who is the community manager from Zomato for their Vancouver base. Super lovely chatting with her, got to know more about her and Zomato/Urbanspoon and what the future holds! But first, lets talk food. I ordered a Latte ($3.75), which came promptly. Nice presentation, I like the little wooden planks they use, the geometry of the shapes work out neatly when placed together (a little thing that makes me happy haha). The latte was quite strong, coffee was aromatic, I'm not much of a coffee expert though =P This drink kept me up until 4am the next day. I guess that's some good, strong caffeine.

I also tried their Maple Walnut Scone ($4.25...? I forgot the price...cuz she didn't offer me a receipt). It was quite a large size and she offered to help me heat it up. Oddly enough, it didn't come with butter, but she did give me a knife. I was a bit confused, so I used the knife to cut the scone in half. My goodness this thing is dangerous. It was so moist, a little chewy, and fluffy. The exterior was crispy and the difference in texture combined well. A bit sweet for some people probably, but I loved it. The walnuts were chopped up with a bit of maple flavor and cinnamon. I've never had a more enjoyable scone before! Luckily this place is far from where I frequent, or I'm definitely going to become broke!

I stayed for a bit after our meetup to do some work, the waiters came around to clear the table and were very friendly. I like how bright and spacious the place is, made it feel more clean. I didn't notice any free wifi available though, so it's a bit harder to get work done without draining all your data. Otherwise, I enjoyed my visit here and meeting the wonderfully enthusiastic Sophia! Looking forward to great things and the future of blogging with Zomato!
