You might know it as Alteregos Coffee House (2193 Gottingen Street, 431-3170) or as Backpackers hostel, but either way, you know they’ve got a place for travellers to stay and a lot of great food. They’re also carrying a series of one-of-a-kind gifts for the holidays, including locally made sock monsters, hand-made bowties, photo albums, cards, cds and coasters. Stop by for lunch and get a jump on that holiday shopping. It’s December this week… you can’t ignore it for much longer.
