Cafe Beano

Cozy eats: Comfort foods to get through winter’s chill.

The new year is the perfect time for comfort food. It’s cold, it’s dark and we’re all seeking something to nosh on that makes us feel good, post-holidays.

We want flavours that are warm, rich and delicious, until the daylight returns.

Caffe Beano

Stop in on a weekend morning at Caffe Beano, and you’ll see tables of people who have been gathering to enjoy this Beltline café’s good food and ambiance since it opened more than 30 years ago. It’s been 25 years, maybe longer, since I first enjoyed a bowl of Beano’s chocolate ginger milk and I’ve been going back for it ever since. Maybe it’s the soothing creaminess of the Callebaut chocolate flakes. Or the warm hint of spice from the ginger. It’s practically medicinal on a cold winter morning.
