About the owners
The restaurant is owned by Parker Hallet and his wife Krista Hallet, who attribute their success to Krista Hallet’s Canadian roots named after where her family is from in Prince Edward Island.
“The recipes are passed down from her grandmother and mother, and that's where the northern part of our name comes from, because she is actually from Canada. So, most of the recipes have a long heritage of her upbringing,” Parker said.
Krista said she started baking full time after the pandemic hit. As the business grew, Krista and Parker began selling out of a coffee truck with the goal to open a brick-and-mortar to expand their menu.
Must-try menu items
Northern D’Lights serves a variety of breakfast dishes such as ‘The Maple Leaf’—two slices of brioche toast topped with syrup, powdered sugar and fresh strawberries. On the savory side, the panini sandwich includes sliced chicken, bacon, tomato, havarti cheese and pesto sauce. Baked items such as the molasses cookie originated from Krista’s grandmother's recipes and are customer favorites. The Nanaimo bar is a three-layered chocolate dessert which is popular in Canada.
What’s special about it?
All baked items are made from scratch by Krista Hallet. The restaurant offers a rotating dinner menu as well Italian-style espresso, Italian sodas, smoothies and iced or hot coffee. All handcrafted drinks come with a small version of the molasses cookie.
