Sweet Little Treats! By Neesa Walowetz

Calling all little treat enjoyers!! Everyone needs a little pick-me-up in their day, and life is just that tiny bit easier when you have a little treat. We’re setting out each week for a review of some treats available in Brandon.

This week we visited Café Do Good, by Renu Hygienics. This hidden gem, located at 1502 Rosser Ave, is only a five-minute walk from campus. They have such a cozy space to hangout and study, as well as a cute bistro set outside to sit and enjoy your drink. Their menu includes mostly coffee, with some alternatives such as their Bursts, for example. I tried their Peach Creamsicle Burst from their Tik-Tok menu and it really hit the spot on such a hot day!

Also available from their specialty menu is their strawberry sundae latte. I might have a soft spot for strawberry flavoured treats, so this was highly suggested. Our taster tried this treat iced and had a lovely review to share about our first stop. “It was a really pretty drink and I love the little note they wrote on my lid! I couldn’t taste much of the strawberry though, so for that it gets a 7/10.” - May O. It really hit the summer vibes, so get it before their autumn menu comes out!

Excellent for the upcoming fall weather is their variety of hot or cold chai drinks. “I got the dirty chai with coconut cold foam and it was so good. Definitely one of the best chai’s I’ve had in a while and very affordable.” - Kylee B. Who doesn’t love sitting down with a nice hot cup of tea for some reading?

Come join a small group of fellow students every Monday for a little treat! Chat, destress, grab a snack/drink and enjoy a small trip to a local sweet-treat stop. We’ll be meeting around the Kavanagh courtyard after slot 3, leaving at 11:45. The little trip shouldn’t take more than 45-60 minutes, so you could be back on campus for a class afterwards. Help yourself through the most sluggish day of the week with a small treat… YOU DESERVE IT! Maybe you’ll discover your new favourite off-campus study spot!
