Jane suggested Acme Cafe, a popular laid-back hipster choice in Gastown for casual meals.<\/p>\n<p>Across from the Woodward Building, and only 20 feet from Save On Meats, the cafe style diner was indeed in the hipster central. It was pretty retro inside &#8211; the high ceilings, the white walls, and small white tiles on the floor, all brightening up the whole open space. I found the design of the rounded bar very smart. It made the seating area in the bar look spacious and welcoming.<\/p>\n<p>There was no dessert menu. We had to go to the front to pick our treats from a vibrantly colorful selection of cakes, pies, cookies, and other pastries displayed behind the glass, mostly North American classics, and quite different from the French\/European baked goods that I had been sampling lately.<\/p>\n<p>I took a bite of my Pecan Pie. Oh my gosh&#8230; Is this piece of pie sent from heaven? I swear I could hear the angels  sing. And I just <a style=\"text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color:#000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buynexium.net\/ \"> nexium best price <\/a> couldn&#8217;t stop talking about it for the next 5 minutes. Across the the able from me,  Jane was giving me this biggest told-you-so smile.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of the ingredients in the filling could not be more perfect &#8211; it was neither too buttery nor too sugary, and the nuttiness and the vanilla aroma were present but subtle. The pecan toppings and crust added such scrumptious texture. And I had to give myself an applause &#8211; the added scoop of strawberry ice-cream paired impeccably with the pie, with a tiny touch of acidity from strawberry.  It was probably the best pie eating experience in my life. <\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0184.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0184.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan Pie &amp; Strawberry Ice Cream @ Acme Cafe\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pecan Pie &amp; Strawberry Ice Cream @ Acme Cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jane&#8217;s Banana and Nutella Pie was also brilliant.
