 The Artisan Oven. You won't be able to resist ACE Bakery's renowned artisan breads.  They're made from scratch every day using the simplest all-natural  ingredients. To top it off, we're introducing ACE's back-to-basics  rustic Italian Pugliese crusty bread and other varieties made in our  stone-deck oven. As the first store to feature a complete ACE Artisan  Bakery, it's a bakery experience you won't be able to resist. 

 The Amazing Wall of Cheese. At a towering 18 feet, it's quite a sight to see. We carry more than  400 varieties of cheese from around the globe; unique and exciting  varieties that cheese lovers won't be able to resist, including a  sensational 100-pound wheel of Stilton - one of only 100 in the world -  and the Canadian Grand Champion Louis d'Or. Featuring an extraordinary  selection of cheeses available by the full wheel, half wheel or chunk  and with a special focus on local Canadian products, our cheese  specialists have created a special experience of scents, textures and  tastes. 

 Chocolate chiselled by the chunk. Our Patisserie is home to irresistible handcrafted chocolate lovingly made with  all-natural ingredients. It features a mouth-watering selection of  cakes and cupcakes made from scratch, not to mention, ice cream cakes,  cheesecakes, donuts, muffins, chocolate pops and more. And, watch first  hand as we chisel chocolate from a giant block, or as we dip fruit,  pretzels and more into perfectly melted chocolate. 

 Expand your tea palate. Come explore the world's most popular drink from the most familiar  blends to the most exotic. The Tea Emporium's tea experts have scoured the globe for more than 10  years to curate a supreme selection of the finest teas imaginable. Up to 10 different sample teas will be brewed through the day, so stop  by for a free sip or three. We'll gladly steep any of our loose-leaf  teas to go, along with a wide selection of specialty tea drinks. With  well over 100 flavours of premium loose-leaf tea on hand, there's  plenty of exploring to be done. 

 Extraordinary egg white omelettes. Nothing starts the day right like a nutritious egg white omelette made  just how you like it, right before your eyes. Our anything-but-ordinary  omelettes are made using five free-run egg whites and only our freshest  ingredients from throughout the store. Choose from Mushroom Herb,  Asparagus & Aged Chedder, Spinach Roasted Tomato & Feta, Western with  Pancetta, or Three Cheese & Walnuts. Each is served with fresh tomato  salsa. Come add some magic to your morning, with chef inspired daily  specials. 

 East meets west. It's a whole new sensation in sushi. Take a seat, have a meal and enjoy  the view. Our in-store Sushi Bar features both traditional flair and  modern chef-inspired creations by T&T Supermarket.
