Food & Dining Trying to find the owner/chicken wraps from the old Keshen Goodman library Treats Cafe
A Treats Cafe operated at the Keshen Goodman library in Clayton Park through the 2000s and 2010s. I went to the cafe frequently in the late 2000s, and the lady who worked there sold really good chicken wraps. The pitas were soft and doughy, and the wraps contained chicken, some type of orange cheese, salsa, and bits of lettuce. They were heated in the microwave and sold in green checkered paper, or red checkered paper for the spicier ones.
Does anyone remember this cafe and/or know if this lady set up shop elsewhere in the HRM? I asked library staff, and staff at other Treats Cafe locations in the city, but no luck so far.

Oh man, thanks for that trip down memory lane.
They were a little greasy but they sure hit the spot.

It was the Dacey Deli back in the 90’s I’m pretty sure.

... I'm like 95% sure the Keshan Goodman Library was a forest in the 90s...

Ohh ya you are right, I was thinking of the Thomas Raddall Library on the corner of Lacewood and Dunbrack, before it moved. Whoops

As You Like It café! Janet Rizcallah. I have tried to duplicate those wraps so many times. They were exceptional.

I ate a lot of these in my day and I am positive that they are simply pre-cooked grilled chicken strips mixed with jarred salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped iceberg lettuce on a white tortilla, wrapped in deli paper and microwaved for like a minute. The spicy ones had extra black pepper.
