A little off the beaten path and deeper into the residential part of Strathcona, Finch's is a worthwhile coffee and tea house to check out if you're in the neighbourhood. Finch's first started slinging baguette sandwiches over on Homer and Pender in the mid 00s. It quickly became a go to lunch spot for working professionals downtown. If you get anything here, get the Pear baguette. Pear, brie, prosciutto, walnuts, olive oil and a drizzle of gooey balsamic reduction. It's a classic. The Strathcona location also has a retail program with a small selection of produce, dry goods and preserves.
