New York, NY 10012
USA
(212) 343-2253
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries,
Desserts,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Nolita
I was in the neighborhood to sample Ceci-Cela's proclaimed croissants. After leaving the bakery in great disappointment, I was in a desperate need for ANY food redemption. Surprisingly enough I stumbled upon The Best Chocolate Cake in the World just…More »
2. Baker's Market
Vancouver, BC V5X 3Z4
(604) 899-7993
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Sunset
The concept of the Baker's Market is similar to that of EAT Vancouver, but on a much smaller and local scale. Don't let the size of the venue or the number of vendors fool you. Just because these vendors/bakers are not so well known and some may not…More »
3. Black Rook Bakehouse
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V2
(604) 563-5094
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
I have had their croissants at coffee shops but never visited the actual "factory" until my recent visit to E Hastings. The store goes easily unnoticed because there is no flashy exterior. One can easily pass by it many times without realizing this…More »
4. Giovane Café Bakery Deli
Vancouver, BC V6C 0B9
(604) 695-5501
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries,
Delis
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
Sugar bun and black forest cake.
Sugar bun is one of Giovane's signature baked goods. The breast-implant-looking bun (coated with a generous layer of granulated white sugar) is one mean mean bun. The bun itself is very soft. Be careful when sink your…More »
5. CocoaNymph
Vancouver, BC V6R 2G5
(604) 222-4477
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I have had my fair share of good hot chocolate in Vancouver at places such as Mink, Bella Gelateria, Thierry, and Chocolaterie De La Nouvelle France just to name a few. And I am happy to announce that I am adding Cocoa Nymph Cafe to my ever growing…More »
6. The Urban Tea Merchant
Vancouver, BC V6E 2Y2
(604) 692-0071
If you like tea, sweets, exotic home décor, lifestyle accessories or all of the above (with cash to burn), this is the place for you.
This chic West-meets-East fusion tea house on West Georgia Street is divided into two sections where merchandises and…More »
7. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 633-2451
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I heard Mink makes really good hot chocolate but nah... I can't help it but shake my head based on 3 consecutive visits I paid over the past 10 months.
The first two visits at Mink took place in summer 2011. The hot chocolate was alright. It was…More »
8. Libby Manapua Shop
Unless you are a local or a savvy Yelper you probably would have a hard time finding this place. This place is secretly tucked in an industrial area near Pearl Harbor. The dark-colored glass of this joint didn't help either in my speedy hunt for…More »
9. Hometown Noodle Factory
Don't expect to find noodles here despite the business sign (in gold) that says "Noodle Factory". Instead of finding noodles, you can expect to find soy milk and soft tofu dessert (dou hua) only if you arrive early.
My partner and I were lucky enough…More »
10. Piroshky Piroshky
Seattle, WA 98101
USA
(206) 441-6068
I was in Seattle's Pike Market and stumbled upon this small Russian bakery with a line up. I took a peek and there was nothing interesting in particular but I figured if people were lining up patiently, food shouldn't be shabby. I chatted up with a…More »
11. Bella Gelateria
Vancouver, BC V6C 0B7
(604) 569-1010
Categories:
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Prior to Bella Gelateria I was not a fan of ice cream or gelato as the ones I had were either too sweet or too heavy on the cream or both. The reason why I decided to pay this place a visit is because I was reading an article from Spring 2011's…More »
12. Sara's Old Fashioned Ice Cream
Richmond, BC V7E 3A3
(604) 271-6507
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I would love to give you at least 3 stars because your customer service is excellent but I couldn't. Your ice cream needs A LOT of improvement.
The amiable lady behind the counter gave me samples after samples of her home made ice cream. I had…More »
13. Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts
Honolulu, HI 96826
USA
(808) 949-8984
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
Rasberry Weave ice cream didn't wow me at all. The only good thing I can say about it is that they didn't over dose on the cream and sugar so you don't get that "heavy" after taste. Other than that the texture was dense and chewy. The raspberry and…More »
14. Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France
Vancouver, BC V5V 1P8
(604) 566-1065
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Nouvelle France is a small (seating capacity is about 6-8ish) and cozy chocolate boutique shop off Main St which I visit whenever I need a quick chocolate fix in the city (too lazy to drive all the way to West Broadway for some Thomas Haas).

15. Sinfully The Best
Richmond, BC V7E 3M1
(604) 272-2655
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I had a birthday party co-hosted with Simon K. at Sinfully the Best. Cathy, the owner, went above and beyond her call of duty and gave me the best birthday party I've ever had.
I have always wanted to have an elegant wine and chocolate party but I…More »

16. Dutch Girl Chocolates
Vancouver, BC V5L 3W9
(604) 251-3221
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
My experience at Dutch Girls was very disappointing. I bought a Champagne truffle and a port wine dark chocolate and blah...they were bad enough I don't even know where to start.
The Champagne truffle was dusted with white icing sugar. It shaped like…More »
17. Crème de la Crumb Bakeshop + Catering
Vancouver, BC V6C 1V4
(604) 683-5595
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Downtown
When I was here last time I was 10 minutes too late as they now close at 4:30pm instead of the usual 5:00pm. So today I seized the golden opportunity on my unintentional walk in down town to check this place out.
I walked in, and was surprised to find…More »
18. Mygoodness! Gluten & Wheat Free Kitchen
Vancouver, BC V5T 1W4
(604) 876-8878
Categories:
Bakeries,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I drive by this place so many times I've lost count. Every time I pass by either they are closed or the window is all fogged up as if they are cooking up something secretive and delicious.
I finally did myself a favor and checked out this place with…More »
19. Sweet E's Pastries And Sweets
Vancouver, BC V6M 1Y8
(604) 264-9202
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy
When I was working in Kerrisdale, I tried almost everything on the menu. I would come to this little shop at least once a week to let them take my hard earned money. Things here were and still are 'yikes' expensive but they were worth every penny.

20. Le Panier Very French Bakery
Seattle, WA 98101
USA
(206) 441-3669
Categories:
Bakeries,
French,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Why would I want to go to Starbucks when I can go to Le Panier practically right next door? Had a Cappuccino at Le Panier and it just further confirms that Starbucks in bleh.
Whenever my partner and I come here we always get a Jambon Mornay. I tried…More »
21. Bell's Bake Shop
After a fulfilling Laksa lunch my better half and I were walking off our food in the heart of Steveston Village where we stumbled upon a floor signage at the corner of Moncton St. and 1st Ave that says Bell's Bake Shop.
Needing something sweet to…More »
22. Pinkberry
Consider yourself warned. You may run into the risk of never wanting to have any other brand or maker of frozen yogurt again other than Pinkberry. Why? Quality ingredients.
The yogurt is perfectly soft and smooth. Their toppings are plentiful,…More »
