The date

Hot & Toasty hides on Salt Lane, the little pedestrian cut-through in the middle of downtown Langley, and it is exactly the kind of place you feel clever for finding. The family behind it turns out sweet and savoury crepes, thick slices of cheesecake and poundcake, and a Turkish coffee served the traditional way, unhurried and strong. The room is small and warm and genuinely charming, the sort of spot reviewers keep calling quaint without irony. It is a five minute walk from the escape rooms and the neighbourhood's restaurants, which makes it the natural dessert or coffee stop to cap a downtown Langley date.

How to do it

Find Salt Lane, the pedestrian cut between the downtown blocks, and step into the little room. Order a savoury crepe if it is a meal, a sweet one plus the cheesecake if it is dessert, and let them make the Turkish coffee properly. Give it 45 minutes to an hour; it is a few steps back out to the rest of downtown Langley when you are done.

What to wear: casual is fine
