Today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a dozen mini cheesecakes (a $20 value) at Chocolate Zen on Osborne Street.

Chocolate Zen concocts its custom confections from scratch using contemporary European baking techniques and natural ingredients unsullied by additives. The bakery’s trio of seasoned pastry chefs brings years of experience and training to each treat, paying close attention to detail in matters of taste, appearance, and confectionary psychology. Mini cheesecakes, served in cupcake liners, provide two or three palate-pleasing bites apiece in 10 different flavours. Among other options, citrusy selections such as lemon raspberry and mandarin orange vie with chocolate-accented variations in Oreo and Skor for the attentions of the cheesecake connoisseur. Chocolate Zen adds no preservatives, artificial fillings, or inedible figurines. The shop dishes out its sweet eatables from a sunny storefront with an appropriately chocolate-and-cream interior colour scheme.

Joe Black Coffee Bar
2037 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, Manitoba
http://www.joeblackcoffee.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of café fare and drinks at Joe Black Coffee Bar on Portage Avenue.

A purveyor of rich espressos and organic teas, Joe Black Coffee Bar rejuvenates regulars with locally roasted bean beverages while they marinate in fireside meditation. The java den flexes its mocha muscles with three in-house blends, including a Colombian roast, a dark perk from Brazil, and a decaf brew for recovering jitterbugs. Patrons partial to the straw can sip on cooler concoctions as they flaunt their immunity to ice-cream headaches, and caffeine enthusiasts can purchase coffee by the pound to help stimulate lifeless conference rooms or fill backyard croquet divots. A team of café chemists also nurtures cauldrons simmering with homemade soups ($2.75–$3.95), which customers can ladle alongside a chicken-cheddar melt ($8.25) or a sprouts-and-hummus wrap ($6.95) before sinking bicuspids into a European delicacy from Chocolate Zen Bakery.

Patrons in search of midweek recreation can savour specialty coffee beverages on Wednesday evenings while they indulge their weary ears with the live music of Tom Dunlop, a local guitar guru who complements the eatery’s cozy vibe. Joe’s also hosts Story Time for kids on Thursdays at 10 a.m., soiling the fingers of miniature family members with free hot chocolate and cookies while parents discuss politics and furniture lamination over tea.

Today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of fast-food fare and drinks at Arby’s. This deal is valid at four Winnipeg-area locations: Regent Avenue, Portage Avenue, Polo Park Shopping Centre, and Kildonan Place.

With an innovative emphasis on roast beef, Arby’s rapidly prepares tasty toasted sandwiches, curly fries, and more. Send thoughts of cheeseburgers to Valhalla, feasting instead on a classic regular roast beef combo with curly fries ($5.19). The market fresh ham and swiss sandwich ($5.19) swindles tongues into tasting a wholesome treat with tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, and brown honey mustard buoyantly resting on thick slices of honey-wheat bread. For omnivores with little time to graze, the potatoes are available in bites ($2.99 for 5 pieces) or baked ($2.49) with butter and sour cream. Extra beef is available on any sandwich for $1.25, or save room for a blueberry or apple turnover ($1.09).
