We came here and grabbed some desserts to go, note there is only street parking and can be tough to find as Arbutus is very busy. We ordered a couple of macarons, a lemon tart and a cookie. Our favourite was the lemon tart, a great balance of sweet and sour. The macarons were okay, but there are better around the city. The cookie was forgettable. We might come back if we are in the area, but would not go out of our way to come here.
This is a small French bakery located on Arbutus, near Broadway, offering breads, sandwiches and some rustic, homestyle pastries and desserts. I’ve sampled their Eclair, Chocolate Torte and Almond Torte, and enjoyed all of their desserts; my favourite is their chocolate torte. The prices are very reasonable and the staff quite friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the neighbourhood.Chocolate Torte ($3.95):4.5/5This consisted of a crispy crust filled with a chocolate mousse and topped wtih a layer of chocoalte ganache. The mousse was creamy, and the chocolate seemed to be of good quality and was not waxy. My favourite part was the crust however; it appears to be made up of some kind of cereal and had a wonderful crunch. This is a fantastic dessert, and I highly recommend it to any chocolate lovers.Almond Torte ($3.90):3.5/5This consisted of a short-bread crust filled with almond paste and topped with pears and cherries. The crust was relatively tender and had a nice buttery flavour. The almond filling was creamy, fragrant and mildly sweet. The slices of pear were tender, but still had some texture while the cherries were bright and tart. I personally found the flavours to be a bit too mild for my liking, but it’s probably a great option for those who prefer something less sweet.Eclair ($3.95):4/5This was filled with a chocolate custard/pudding and glazed with melted chocolate. The amount of filling in this was very generous, and I got plenty in every bite. It was creamy and sweet, though not overly so. Once again, the chocolate glaze appears to be of good quality, and was not at all waxy.
My favourite cafe in the city! Smooth and rich coffee, and delicious inexpensive desserts ~ what more can you ask for! Creme brulee is my favourite! But the croissants and tarts are also very delicious!
Phenomenal French bakery serving the best croissants in Vancouver! Very nice ie staff and authentically French. Hard to not stop by every day as I live just next door.
I stopped in here just to order a cookie to go as I was walking by. The server behind the counter was running water with her hands in the sink. I placed my order and she gave me the cookie in a paper bag which was wet from her hands. I only had a ten dollar bill. She asked if I had anything smaller and I said I was sorry but no. She was obviously annoyed. She took my ten and threw ten loonies across the counter as change. This was odd but maybe she was having a bad day. I said that you could have placed the change in my hand (or at least placed it on the counter). She said people don’t like to be touched…okay but do they like their change thrown across the counter. An attitude adjustment on her part is definitely required. The cookie was okay. One star for surly service.
This is one of my favourite coffee and pastry shops in Vancouver. It’s a classic traditional French bakery with delicious food, good coffee, and the best chocolate tort I have ever tasted in my life. The breads are great too, and everything is as fresh as could possibly be. The most poignant thing is the owner, Fabrice, who you can tell really cares about the place and the customers that visit. Rarely a week goes by that I don’t visit here, and I recommend you do the same.
Amazing food and environment
