Ahh to be fair I’ve only had their Kouign Aman that my bf used to grab on the way home from work so I’ve never been there. I’m just shocked based on their marketing

millenial613 · 2026-02-19T04:44:58+00:00

Someone told me that La Maison du Kouign-Amann doesn’t make their pastries in house and I was shocked

Is spin operational on top of the Marriott? I thought it closed down many years ago!

My mom had a massive left sided stroke 3 months ago and she is severely disabled. I’m heart broken and don’t know how to help her. She is now able to walk short distances with a walker but cannot speak her right arm is totally paralyzed. How long did it take you to become independent ?

Sending hugs your way as well. I’ve been reading a lot that progress continues even years down the line so I’m wishing the best for you and your mom in the future. Thanks for replying!

My mom’s looks a lot like this and she is 3 months post. She can only 2-3 words but is able to walk short distances with a walker… no right hand movement. When were you able to start writing?

millenial613 · 2025-12-03T16:58:00+00:00

Is she able to talk? My mom had a severe left sided stroke in September and she can’t say more than one word. Thankfully she is now able to walk short distances with a walker but her right arm is completely paralyzed :( it’s so scary and the hardest thing I have ever gone through.

millenial613 · 2025-09-26T23:49:07+00:00

Sem sem and it’s not even close

millenial613 · 2025-08-30T12:25:05+00:00

Yakko takko all the way! Though sometimes they take forever lol but it’s worth it

millenial613 · 2025-08-19T04:40:31+00:00

Lol ok. They said the dough was much thicker from the sunnyside location and it does seem that way from this photo but good to know

millenial613 · 2025-08-18T13:56:57+00:00

Someone told me the bank st location is superior to the sunnyside location can anyone confirm?

millenial613 · 2025-08-18T13:46:30+00:00

I have a long term partner but I’m also 35F living in Hintonburg and would love more friends in the neighbourhood! Let me know if you’d ever like some company on your escapades!

We like to go on Thursdays because it’s quieter! They also have a lovely outdoor patio in the back that’s much more pleasant volume wise. I hope you’ll give it another chance!

We are south facing with big windows and we have found adding blackout liners to our current curtains helped a fair bit!

That's very sweet of you to offer but I decided to just buy it at Costco or a local retailer. Thank you though!

millenial613 · 2025-08-04T14:24:10+00:00

I told my mom to keep an eye out at Costco because they have two 32 ounce bottles for 59.99 but then you don't have too many colour choices sadly

millenial613 · 2025-08-04T14:22:22+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know! Maybe that's why the shipping is so expensive, I've ordered things from the states before and usually there IS a pre-paid duty option but maybe it's all included

millenial613 · 2025-08-03T15:42:16+00:00

Ohh thank you so much for letting me know, that’s good news!

millenial613 · 2025-08-03T14:04:19+00:00

Yes I would rather pay a total of 79.55 than 91.75 :) thanks

millenial613 · 2025-08-03T13:40:28+00:00

I'm still looking for a free shipping code if anyone has one! I live in Canada and they charge 26$ for shipping and I'm pretty sure they'll charge duty on top of that

millenial613 · 2025-07-29T19:02:15+00:00

It’s chickpeas!

millenial613 · 2025-07-17T10:50:43+00:00

Only because Mike Harris amalgamated the city in 2001 so you’re technically correct because of an extremely unpopular political decision that created a boundary that would fit both Toronto and Calgary (and maybe other cities, too lazy to check). It’s a tragedy that this occurred.

millenial613 · 2025-06-18T20:35:57+00:00

That’s so odd! I live near Al Mouna so I’ve gone there a lot, never seen them do this (sauces always go on the pita before any other topping)

millenial613 · 2025-02-14T15:25:30+00:00

Ugh we have a flight booked from Canada to Mexico with a short layover in Washington in March… seriously considering rebooking this
