This Week at The Counter on King 🍽️☕️

There’s plenty waiting for you this week at The Counter on King, from comforting lunch favourites and fresh baking to new cookies, returning bestsellers and delicious reasons to shop local.

TUESDAY • Grilled Ham & Brie
Rosemary ham, creamy brie and apricot jelly, grilled until warm, melty and wonderfully satisfying.

WEDNESDAY • Pulled Pork
Slow-roasted pork tossed in our house-made barbecue sauce and piled high for the perfect hearty lunch.

THURSDAY • Chicken Souvlaki
A customer favourite! Seasoned chicken breast with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, feta and tzatziki, all tucked into warm naan.

FRIDAY • NEW Chipotle Chicken Pizza
Tender chicken, melted cheese and our house-made chipotle sauce come together on pizza for a brand-new Friday lunch you won’t want to miss.

Our lunch specials are $16 and include a fresh-made side, cookie and canned drink—the perfect excuse to take a break and treat yourself.

FROM THE BAKERY THIS WEEK 🥐
Stop in for muffins, scones and croissants, plus a few new cookie flavours joining the case:

🍪 Rice Krispie Marshmallow
🍪 Peanut Butter Oreo
🍪 Chocolate Coconut Toffee

FOCACCIA FRIDAY continues, and because the Jalapeño Popper Focaccia sold out again last week, we’re bringing it back for another round!

SATURDAY means fresh cinnamon buns and bagels, perfect for a slow morning or a delicious weekend treat.

BAKED CHEESECAKES ARE BACK 🍰
Available Thursday through Saturday while they last, with flavours including Cookies & Cream, Caramel, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Biscoff, Dark Cherry and Strawberry.

And if you haven’t tried one of our flavoured coffees lately, this is your sign. Our house-made coffee syrups are worth the visit all on their own.

Come by, enjoy something delicious and support the local businesses that make our community special. We can’t wait to see you! ❤️

It starts with apples, butter and Geoff at the stove. 🍎

Then we take slow roasted pork loin, shave it thin and pile it onto a sandwich with our house apple butter.

Sweet, savoury and VERY good.

And because it’s Friday lunch at The Counter, $16 gets you the full lunch.

Your pork loin sandwich, a fresh side, your choice of cookie and a drink.

Lunch is on. Come hungry. ❤️

Okay. This one might be a problem. 🌶️🧀

Jalapeño Popper Focaccia.

Our focaccia loaded with jalapeños, pockets of cream cheese and plenty of cheese, baked until the top is golden and bubbly.

And LOOK at that middle. 👀

This was a bit of a Friday experiment and I think we can safely say it worked.

Available today in limited quantities because apparently we like to test delicious things on you. 😂

Come grab a piece while we’ve got it.
