Now that the glorious weather seems to be here to stay, it's time to get out of the office and have lunch...outside! The Model Bakery features tasty grab-n-go lunch specials every day. Freshly made salads, sandwiches on their organic artisan breads, or one of their signature pizza slices fresh out of the oven...all made with seasonal, local ingredients. Stop on by for a quick, tasty and convenient midday treat and enjoy it all al fresco on the Oxbow River Deck!

Summer is near, it's getting warmer outside, and The Olive Press is in love with its jalapeno olive oil with peach balsamic vinegar for a refreshingly sweet, spicy treat. This combination is reminiscent of fruit salsa -- it complements ceviche, grilled prawns, or anything with avocado and cilantro, like a margarita on a hot day. Stop by for a taste!

Dan Cong Feng Huang (Single Trunk Phoenix Oolong) is by far, one of Tillerman's most exquisite teas, grown on the slopes of Phoenix Mountain in Guangdong province, southern China. This single-trunk oolong is harvested in the afternoon, avoiding bright sun and rainy days. The leaves are mid-oxidized to produce a rich flavor with fruity and floral overtones. Hints of gardenia and tropical fruit balance with the tastes of honey and toasted nuts. Famous in China for its delicate elegant aromatics and sweet tastes, this tea promises a pleasant lingering taste that you will never forget. This week only, get 15% off 100 g bag for $47.55. Hurry, supplies are limited!
