I know my friend Areta<\/a> is always a fan of delectable desserts. So when we decided to hang out in Gastown, I wanted to recommend Acme Cafe because I had some amazing pecan pie<\/a> here a while ago. But as this universe never ceases to amaze us, she actually beat me to it and suggested the place first. How crazy is that?<\/p>\n

Of course I said yes to that and we soon found ourselves sitting at the very front of Acme Cafe, the retro-meets-modern diner located on the 109-year-old Paris Block in Gastown, enjoying the last hour of daylight through the large handsome window with black frame.<\/p>\n

Although no pecan pie today, we were impressed by\u00a0the\u00a0slice\u00a0of\u00a0the Key Lim Pie<\/strong> ($6.25) that Areta picked, another classic of all pies. \u00a0It was\u00a0sweet, tangy and luscious. And I also enjoy the texture contrast from the graham cracker crust.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the richness of chocolate in my layered Chocolate Cake<\/strong> ($6.25). And the chocolate icing definitely would satisfy anyone who has a big sweet tooth for chocolate deserts. I was going to get an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, but soon realized I should get the Affogato<\/strong> ($4.50) instead, which was the one stone for 2 birds since I needed both coffee and ice cream to go with the chocolate cake. And it turned out to be the best decision I had made all day.<\/p>\n
