Homemade Caramel Pop-tart, Peppermint Tea, Spring Salad, and a Turkey on Ciabatta |
Good Omens is one of the hidden gems of the Okanagan located
off the beaten path in Summerland. Good Omens has it all from the specialty
(and local) coffee, delicious teas, local wines and craft beers, and wonderful
lunches all at an affordable price. With obvious pride and care taken in the
kitchen, the foods are excellent and are a must have for anyone visiting or
living in the Valley.
I opted to sit in the patio to enjoy the famous Okanagan
summer, and was greeted by mature fruit trees, a spacious patio, and a large
herb garden that is sure to make a mark on any aspiring foodie.
For my main I had a turkey sandwich on a fresh Ciabatta bun finished with a
light mayo, cheddar cheese, tomato, and lettuce. Although it was a seemingly
simple sandwich all of the flavours were there, distinct in their own ways. The
freshness and quality of the ingredients transformed a sometimes bland sounding
combination into a culinary delight. Instead of the soup, I decided on the
salad composed of spring greens, julienned carrots and cucumber, which was
finished with a light Italian dressing which has just the amount of kick to add
a little heat to the salad. It was nice and light, and the different textures
and flavours brought the dish together.
For
dessert, I ordered a caramel homemade pop-tart which did not disappoint. My
original plan was to share the pastry with my dining partner which unfortunately
did not happen for her. The flaky and rich crust with the sweet and salty
caramel filling was heaven. Whenever I pass through Summerland, my goal will be
to stop for one of those indulgent treats.
Very
delicious, affordable, fresh, and very accommodating. I will definitely be
back.
