Living in the lower mainland exposes one to many things.Bad drivers.Exotic cuisines.Bad drivers.Snow capped mountains.Bad drivers.Cultural amalgamation.Did i say bad drivers?There is also the constant rain and dark cloud dance over us during the winters. Its almost as if God is punishing people. All you weekend sinners, im looking at you.This weekend was a chance to step away from the dull skies. An abundance of sunshine, almost enough to make the brave among us shed those coats and jackets.Determined not to spurn this opportunity, we head out to Kerrisdale for a nice stroll and an even nicer cup of coffee, eventually ending up at Faubourg.If youve been to Thierry on Alberni Street in downtown, think of Faubourg as its less fashionable sister.Smaller and quiter, but carrying almost the same quality of desserts and coffee to satisfy your taste buds.A Green tea passion fruit mousse, along with a Cappucino and a fresh brewed cup of coffee – pretty much a perfect lateafternoon refresher.A little on the pricey side though, but the quality is good enough to not make you feel guilty.Restaurant Name : Faubourg Location: 2156 W 41st Ave, Vancouver, BCAmbiance : 9/10. Neat and clean. Good for families, or even a for a romantic time.Service : 9/10. Very friendly staff. Helpful, and quick. What more could you ask for?Food Quality : 9/10. Absolutely no complaints. Excellent taste. Open up your purse strings and visit the place!
Faubourg at Kerrisdale is located right on 41st Avenue and Yew Street. Pastry and coffee are incredible. We tried a Pumpkin Spice Macaron Tart which made in sweet vanilla sable breton with spiced pumpkin bavarian cream topped with macaron cookie. Yummy!It is definitely one of good pastries in Kerrisdale area.Food: 4/5Services: 4/5Parking: StreetFeatures: Pastry
Coffee & croissant for breakfast, perfect combination! Best of all, they have a discounted deal for this My ham and egg croissant actually had a piece of hair strand on it, I told one of the girls in the counter and she gave me a new one. apparently their baked goods are not made in store, its delivered to them as stated by one of the workers otherwise, its a good place to hang out, chat and just spend part of your day
March 3, 2017I used to go to downtown one, told my parents that..They got good dessert… but its end up… we are so disappointed…. they don’t have almond croissant / not much selection / extremely noisy/ services are bad/ nobody clean tables/ we need to clean up ourselves/ hot chocolate was water down/ dessert was not as good as downtown one.Won’t go there again.
Cute french store. Their pastries never disappoint: they’re always crispy and fresh. Their breads are also really good and they have a really wide variety of types and seasonal flavors (this is the chausson aux pommes)
My Review of Faubourg ParisI put a lot of thought to see if I should share this review or not, then I came to the conclusion that I must. To be clear, I should explain few things briefly first and then I move to the issues. The beginning is about the good past days; and I write it in detail because first, I must be fair and second, I want you to know that I KNOW THIS PLACE VERY WELL, and third, I used to care so much for Faubourg (OLD FAUBOURG WAS HOMEY FOR ME, MY FAMILY, AND FRIENDS). Anyway, I was a fan, and a very loyal customer. And I liked this place not only for myself and family, but also friends. Every time, I wanted to do a favor for friends or to treat them, Faubourg or Faubourg gift card was the first and sometimes my only choice. I was a regular since 2014 when Faubourg was opened in Park Royal West Vancouver. And I was so happy that finally we, the West Vancouverites, have such an excellent coffee shop/ bakery in our neighborhood. I used to visit Faubourg almost every day, sometimes twice a day. Everything was excellent as I said before, customer service A+; friendly atmosphere A+ ; very nice and welcoming owner who really cared about what he is offering, how he is running his business, and how he is treating his customers ( a lovely man indeed: for sure 3 pluses A+++). The list goes on: Very clean store with beautiful dcor , TO DIE FOR croissants, especially pistachio and almond or those cute macarons. Sandwiches tasted great, fresh and fulfilling, pastries elegant design and delicious, almond slices were rich and flavorful; perfect match for a pot of high quality tea or tea latte in late afternoon (VERY SATISFYING). But now, the place is so disappointing that I dont like to go back there. And it is disappointing not because every single awesome product changed to something bad, not at all (and it is not fair to say so). But now, I witness huge issues with quality service and some major products; so that me and other regulars do not like the place anymore. This place is not the Faubourg we knew. First issue, croissants are not fresh anymore (especially the early morning ones). They bring croissants from far location (Rivershore) or sometimes I noticed they are old, dark, with lots of powder (to cover the dark spots). Then, I found out they are leftovers from the day before. Surprisingly, croissants are sold for the same price as fresh out of oven ones. It seems somehow, the management does not care about park royal customers anymore as this is not a problem with other 2 stores.Second, it seems you cant trust management with your orders. Me and collogues had a breakfast party while ago and I told them I will bring fresh croissants from Faubourg: From Artisan of croissants (MY EXACT WORDS). Since I knew the park Royal store do not have fresh croissants before noon, I put the order into Kerrisdale location for 50 croissants (30 pistachio and 20 almonds), I called management in advance to make sure I will receive fresh out of oven product and she promised to deliver best quality. Friday early morning, I went to pick up my order, things were ready in 2 big boxes (top pistachio, bottom almond). I checked the top ones; excellent fresh looking and assumes its the case with the other box as well. So happy and tipped the baker for 30 dollars and left to my company. And then bam, what a big disappointment? The Almond croissants were so old, dark and non- fresh to the point that my co- workers notice the difference in terms of freshness (between pistachio and almond I mean). But what could I do at that moment? Later on, I texted the picture of those obviously dark old almond croissants to the manager of Kerrisdale location. Her response: they look good to me, no they are fresh,..Instead of following on what happened and what was wrong, instead of appreciating the loyal customer (and she knows me very well), she reacted with very rude and disrespectful manner and also denied the fact that almonds are not as fresh as pistachios. To be clear, if she did not deny or reacted rudely; or if she just follow up on my concerns, I wouldnt be as hurt and disappointed. Third, the quality of product and service is very poor at Park Royal.; and I came to the conclusion that management really does not care for West Vancouver customers anymore. You should know what you receive depends on the location you are visiting (they have 3 stores) and who is on shift. You go to Hornby or Kerrisdale, things are usually consistent and good in general; and if you visit Park Royal store, you could be served with tasteless cold Latte. About Sandwiches, they are definitely very good and tasty in Kerrisdale or Hornby, but not in Park Royal (they taste and look different). I mentioned the issues I am concerned with. To be fair and honest, I still think the rest of their product is still excellent. But what I am looking for is their old pattern: Consistent quality product and service. Yes bad things or poor quality of product or service may happen. It is natural, part of doing business, and part of receiving service on our side as customers as well. I never looked for absolute and 100 percent perfection all the time. This is not practical and I truly believe as a loyal/ practical customer, I also have a duty of ignoring minor issues or the so called it happens sometime. But when these problems become the norm, and when I witness different service and product in different locations, thats a warning sign to me. In short, I find Faubourg management inconsistent, non- proffessional, and unreliable. What a disappointment!!.
I took my family there to get some sandwiches for lunch yesterday. I ordered 3 sandwiches and a cappuccino to stay. After waiting 30 minutes and being told when I asked where our food was twice that it was coming, we had to leave as we were going to now be late for an appointment so I asked to get it to go. They finally handed me 2 bags and no coffee. I asked where the coffee was and was told they would make it. I asked for my money back for it instead because we had to go. Then I looked in the bag and one of the sandwiches was missing! They quickly threw another sandwich in a bag and gave me money back that the cashier mumbled was for the coffee and the temporarily missing sandwich. We left very disappointed with the terrible service and will not return. I gave them 2 stars because the food was very good, just not worth the hassle and frustration.
