MISS MOOX: East End

  • NEWS: Le Macaron Soon to Open - for real!

    I got word yesterday that Le Macaron bakery in the east end of town is now targeting a mid-November opening date.

    The store is tucked into a strip mall on Quance Street, just behind Applebee's and not far from Costco.

    Watch for it!

    NEWS: Le Macaron Goes for East-End Location - Still Under Construction


    AUGUST 14, 2010: The post below was written in March. Le Macaron is still under construction. Progress seems to be happening slowly. At this rate, expect a mid-fall (October or November) opening?
    ____________

    Stay tuned, fans of bakeries and sweet pastry: Gilles Gobin, former executive pastry chef at the Hotel Sask, will open his very own bakery this spring/summer.

    Once upon a time I worked with Gilles at the hotel. And let me tell you, this man knows how to make a good dessert.

    Le Macaron will specialize in creating delicious French macaroons of many different colours (and flavours, I assume). At first, Gilles aimed for a downtown location on Albert Street, near La Bodega. Unfortunately, this didn't work out. Gilles and Co. are now busy preparing a store in the east end.

    It seems like opening date is still a couple of months away, but rest assured I will post an update as soon as an opening date is announced.

  • NEWS: Cold Stone Creamery Opens in Regina Today

    More news today: Cold Stone Creamery officially opened its doors in Regina.

    For those who haven't tasted Cold Stone in the States or elsewhere, it draws huge lineups for a reason. You can order one of Cold Stone's ice-cream creations or create your own flavour.

    P.S. Regina's Cold Stone is co-branded with Tim Horton's on Victoria Avenue East (i.e. sharing the same roof). Check it out at 1960 Prince of Wales Drive.
