What You Get
When the Silk Road was established for the transport of spices, traders eagerly flocked to it, especially those who had spent months trying to navigate the time-consuming former route, the Velcro Road. Embark on your own voyage of flavour discovery with today's WagJag: for $10, you get $20 of gourmet cafe fare and beverages at SpiceSafar on King West.
Providing casual luxury in a way that rhinestone-encrusted sweatsuits never could, SpiceSafar entices patrons with its elegant yet affordable boutique-concept bakery, cafe, and lounge. The cafe specializes in gourmet breakfasts and lunches, authentically European pastries, and hand-crafted coffees and teas. Start your day off on a sweet note with a buttery pistachio croissant, sticky bun, or danish. Liquid accompaniments include signature Rooibos Lattes made with herbal red tea, espresso, steamed milk, and spiced maple syrup, Chai lattes, and premium espresso (SpiceSafar's own exclusive, micro-roasted superior Arabica blend), each served with a bite-size dessert nibble. Lunch fare includes a changing roster of soups, fresh-made salads, and panini with fillings like osso buco, braised lamb, or roasted cauliflower.
A great spot to grab coffee or lunch on the go, dining in at SpiceSafar lets patrons absorb the full experience. Low, pillow strewn couches, wifi, and ambient music make it a great place to settle in for an afternoon, and full table service is also available. After dark, SpiceSafar amps up the atmosphere and transforms into a lounge, with DJed rhythms and a full bar of molecular gastronomy-influenced cocktails.
