Tall Grass Prairie doesn’t need my review. It’s got a dedicated following and plenty of new tastebuds wandering through the Forks to seduce. The whole wheat cinnamon buns are famous across Winnipeg and beyond.
There are a few other delicious bits to spotlight, though.
The cheese croissant is delicious. It’s got the standard topping of cheddar, but inside! Inside, there’s magic. Tender, flaky layers surrounding rich, cheesy goodness.
The vegetable bread pudding is a satisfying choice. Bread pudding conjures images of slap dash leftover concoctions for me, but this generous square is flavourful and packed with goodies. It can be a wee bit greasy from the cheese, but it’s ultimately awesome.
I love that their pies are baked in regular pans that you return for a deposit. The breads are wholesome and can be sliced to your preference. The local, freshly-milled wheat is all sorts of win. Service is always friendly. Why wouldn’t you shop here?
