Yeast Meets West

September 30, 2011

When we heard about the launch of a new artisanal bakery in the
rapidly-gentrifying St-Henri neighbourhood, we were more than happy to
rise to the occasion.


Nothing confirms the gentrification of a neighbourhood like the
appearance of an artisanal bakery. In St-Henri, that boulangerie
is Sweet Lees, a
bread-box sized shop that opened its doors last week. Not only are the
ingredients local but the co-owners, siblings Greg and Liana, live just
around the corner too.

In addition to baguettes and artisanal loaves, Sweet Lees offers six
varieties of savoury scones ($3.50), cheesecake and pastries. Flavours
vary with the seasons; du moment combinations include the butternut
squash, cranberry and hazelnut loaf ($12), and the molasses, ginger and
peach cookies ($1.50).

Carbs may not always be a girls best friend, but when the Provençale
olive loaf ($5) is this good, we could easily see this becoming our
daily bread. Sarah Lolley
