Dutch Girl Chocolates

It’s always just so electrifying to walk into this chocolate and candy haven of walls, counters and jars full of all things yummy. There's nothing to compare this to in all of Vancouver.

Savary Island Pie Company

Steph — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:10:09 -0700

These are the best pies in town, even though they are kind of out of town, comfortably nestled in a spot on the North Shore. Everything from lemon buttermilk to organic apple pies, great fluffy scones and a good cup of coffee.
Probably shouldn't mention pickle in the same sentence as pie, but had one of the best pickles ever here too - go figure.

Notte's Bon Ton

Steph — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:02:33 -0700

A family run business in Vancouver since 1933, that can be considered Vancouver’s most established purveyor of fine and fancy French pastries. Puff pastries, Diplomat cake, Brioches, Croqu’en bouche are part of the repertoire and there is a quaint tea room in which to savour the moment.

Mondo Gelato

Very popular neighbourhood stop (it’s just around the corner from Stanley park and beaches) to cool and refresh. Wild colour explosion in display also has non dairy offerings. Anything and everything is delicious.

Cupcakes

Sunny days ahead when you bite into one of these charmers. Fabulously scrumptious individualists such as the Blue Hawaii and Red Velvet express themselves in cupcake form…there are cakes and cookies to savor as well. Also: 797 Thurlow St. Vancouver, B.C. V6 E 3V5

La Casa Gelato

Steph — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:25:20 -0700

This emporium is has close to 500 flavours. Its fun! You may have trouble choosing from all that’s available and may be pulled towards something seemingly crazy.

Fratelli's Italian Bakery

Steph — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:20:34 -0700

On the subject of cream puffs, fluffy cakes, mocha mountains and ganache truffles…put your brakes on here.

Chocoatl Chocolatiers

Steph — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:34:36 -0700

It’s a tiny place with huge impact. Dynamic chocolate drinks harbouring the heady scents and tastes of flowers, spices and chillies.
