What our customers have to say...
"Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know-yummy-the best crackers I've ever had-they are wonderful.
Thank you, Anne Sullivan |
"I was given some Rosemary, Pecan raincoast crisps while visiting Vancouver, brought them home to Albuquerque , New Mexico and shared them with my honey. I hate myself for not opening the package while I was still in B.C. as I would have loaded up the suitcase to bring bunches home. Best crisp/cracker I have ever had. You guys have it figured out !!!"
--------- Hank Bledowski, New Mexico | "This Christmas a friend from out West brought some Raincoast rosemary pecan crisps to our house. They were wonderful. Do you ship these? If not we will be very disappointed and will have to savour the last few crisps." Sue Taylor-Foley, Chester, Nova Scotia | "I just tried your Raincoast Crisps at a friend's house last night. They were terrific! " Regards, Bev Siklenka | Hi Lesley
"My name is Steve Diana, I am a corp. chef for a gourmet pasta co. in CA. I recently tried your crackers at a dinner party at my bosses house. We loved the crackers and were wondering if we could purchase some and have them shipped to us? You have a wonderful product, I wish we could visit your store, it must be very nice."
Thank you, Steve Diana, California | "On a recent trip to Vancouver my sister (who runs the Bay Café in Tsawwassen) gave me a couple boxes of your crackers and proclaimed they “were to die for”. I just wanted to write to let you know that I had some people over for dinner and with everything I made the accolades were all for your Rosemary Pecan Crackers! My guests still can’t stop talking about them. I went to your website and much to my delight, discovered I can purchase them in Calgary. Thank you so much for providing such a high quality product! Another satisfied customer…." Debra Wallace, Calgary, Alberta | | Hello! "I just had the pleasure to taste your Raincoast Crisps at the Red Tree Catering in Calgary, loved them!!! Brought back a box to Toronto, but they did not last very long…. Do you know if anyone carries them in Toronto? I am addicted…." Thanks….Irma Eibich, Toronto, Ontario | Dear Lesley Stowe Fine Foods, "What a FANTASTIC product! I was grocery shopping at my local
Thrifty Foods store today and came across a display of your crisps. They caught my eye while I was sampling a selection of cheeses.
The lovely packaging intrigued me, as did the peek of the crisps through the cellophane. I brought a box home. Well, what a hit! The appearance and taste of the crisps are a little piece of heaven. It's hard to find something special as far as crackers go, but these are definitely it. I'm on my way back to the store to stock up.
Do you have other products? Are they available in Victoria? Please do let me know. I'd also like to know whether I can always count on Thriftys to carry the crisps.
It's always a pleasure to discover great new products. Thanks so much!" Sincerely, Barbara Duncan, Victoria, BC | | Hi Lesley,
"I just have to take a minute to write you and tell you that we bought your crackers this weekend. To say the least they were orgasmic!!! The one with the Rosemary was my favourite, but I love them both. I had company for dinner on Sunday and had them out with cheese. Everyone just loved them.
Such a nice change from the boring old crackers we have been eating for years." Thanks, Katalin Leduc, Victoria, BC | "I bought some crisps on Salt Spring Island in a cheese shop. They were great and I would like more. I live on the other coast in
New Hampshire"
Thanks, Byron Peck, New Hampshire | "I recently discovered your amazing crisps at Sunterra Market here in Calgary - In fact I like them so much I have taken to buying several boxes at a time-I am addicted!"
Thank you, Tessa, Calgary, Alberta | Hello: In just had the pleasure of trying the Rosemary Crisps at Kilborn's on the Rideau, Newboro, Ontario, just before Christmas and it was an instant love affair. I naturally bought some for my Christmas entertaining and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......What a Hit. I haven't tasted anything like this in a long time and will continue to buy them for myself, family, friends and to put in my Real Estate baskets which I deliver to my Clients on Closings. The idea of eating them for breakfast is a fantastic idea.............and yes, I could probably eat a whole box by myself. Fantastic product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dianne McGlade, Newboro, Ontario | Just tried your rosemary pecan crisps. These are fabulous little works of art. I am going to tell everyone about these. They are fantastic alone or with cheese. For something different try with ice cream. Great as an ice cream sandwich for a lunch dessert. I tried them with a natural rum raisin ice cream and this was unusual and tasty. Start with cold ice cream. Cut into slices. Sandwich between two crisps. Freeze for 10-20 min. Terri, Edmonton, Alberta | | I was shopping yesterday at Save On foods in St. Albert Alberta...and came across these delightful crackers called Raincoat Crisps...simply the look of these crispy treats was alluring...I tore open the package as soon as I got into my car....I could not believe the unique and scrumptious taste of these treasures.....I have never taken the time to write or call about a product but I simply had to this time. As a mom of three I of course have purchased many products of crackers, cookies etc and never really been SURPRISED by the new products I have bought. I am also extremely cautious of purchasing nutritious products and appreciate how difficult it must be to produce a product of high nutrition without compromising taste.....YOU DID IT!!
Thanks a lot and I look forward to purchasing other versions of these treasures

How well do you know your "crisps"? Take our trivia test and find out: - Raincoast Crisp crumbs make a great coating for chicken. Dip the chicken in flour, beaten egg and then crumbs ( add some cayenne and you'll have raincoast jerk chicken)
- sprinkle raincoast crisp crumbs on top of mac & cheese or your favourite casserole and you'll have a fabulous crunchy topping
- some people eat Raincoast Crisps like breakfast cereal with fresh fruit and milk!
- if you find your crisps getting a bit soft once the package has been open for awhile pop them into a preheated 325 degree oven for 5-7mins
- for those of us who admit to eating an entire box of Raincoast Crisps at once you will have gotten your entire daily recommendation for iron
- with no preservatives in them we consider Raincoast Crisps a 'fresh" cracker being at their prime for 3 - 6 months but they can be frozen for several months if you don't have easy access to a steady supply. Thaw them and crisp the crisps in a 325 degree oven for 5-7mins - yummy as ever
- Lesley's favourite match with the original Raincoast Crisp is spread with smoked trout mousse........available in our store. Another heavenly combination she indulges in is the Rosemary Raisin Pecan Crisps with cambozola cheese and italian proscuitto...
- send us an email we would love to hear your favourite way to eat Raincoast Crisps
