Essentials

Gold Coast Cafe has an decent selection of beer and some wine as well as any other convenience store essentials to stock your fridge. There is a small Deli that serves sandwiches etc; the food isn't fantastic, and we'd recommend sticking with the egg sandwiches, but it's adequate if you're hungry.

Hands down the best dumplings in the city! Order the House Special and/or Shrimp & Chive. You won't be disappointed. But note it's a bit of a trek from our house and has little to no ambiance, so probably best to avoid for a date night
