Weekday downtime was spent catching up on chores and errands, while weekends have been purposed towards residual housekeeping.
In advance of the trip, I'd venture to Mimico to pick up the ever-eager browser. Traffic leading to the GO station was annoyingly slow despite low traffic volumes, for weekend drivers were rampant on the Gardiner off ramps and already narrow Toronto streets.
Nearby was the physical store of Hadrien Verrier Patisserie, a name I hadn't encountered since Third Wave Coffee's transition to Noctua Bakery, I wasn't a fan of Ninetails, thus proposed to detour to quench my curiosity surrounding the standalone bakeshop.
The Etobicoke location offered a comprehensive collection of the storage bins of my desires, but in a distinctly more predictable layout than the North York outpost. We skipped the showroom altogether as to reduce the total time spent undertaking the task. Unfortunately, I wasn't entirely spared of browsing and slow treks about the store.
