I’ve very recently joined the ranks of those living North of Fourth, though Rob likes to point out that I am only just inside the western edge of the ‘hood. Maybe someday when I’m finally done school, I will be able to live with the beautiful people around Cornwall and Yew. A library student can dream, right? Anyway, I’m thrilled to be in the new place with my lovely roommate and I’m ready to eat/drink/shop my way through a whole new part of Kits.
Moving on…it turns out there is no correlation between my proximity to a bus stop and my tardiness. After missing all three busses at my conveniently located new bus stop (4th and Alma), I glanced across the street at Muffin Break. I thought a muffin would be just the ticket for what was sure to be a long wait in the rain. Wow. It tasted like a fluffy cloud with delicious pockets of chocolate chip precipitation. This weather metaphor did not work as well as I imagined, but I think you get the idea. A delicious muffin for $1.75, and the lady referred to me as “Love.” All I had to do was cross the street into Point Grey. I’m sold.

For an even better treat, pop next door to Hot Cuisine and have one of their brownies. You will never enter Muffin Break again, I promise you.
15 years ago I was the “muffin pan boy” at that Muffin Break! For an hour or so after school I would clean and grease the muffin pans, fill up the flour bins, take out the trash etc… and got paid $10!
One time, a bag of flour was mislabelled… it said “Whole Wheat” but inside was actually the “tea biscuit” mix…I thought I was going to get fired.
Ok, I will have to try these brownies, for sure. But sometimes only a muffin will do! Wow, 10 bucks an hour 15 years ago is pretty sweet, I only get 12 at my P/T job and I have a degree. Too bad about the tea biscuit tyranny, though.
