1. Sweet Revenge
I was a bit disappointed in my most recent visit here. Their zucotto is still good, and the service had never been impeccable. But I discovered today that their menu hadn't even been updated in 2-3 years, nor anything in the restaurant it seemed.…More »

Some of the best cheesecake. I got my friend hooked on this place, who got his friend hooked on it too. It's soooo light an fluffy you can't even tell you're eating a cheesecake (in the dense sense where it feels like you overindulged). I mean, all…More »
3. Anny's Dairy Bar
Oh this icecream is sooooo real and soooooo delicious!! I've never tasted real cream soft serve before (only Dairy Queen and McDonalds!! :( ). This was heavenly. I would like more maple butter, but that stuff is expensive so I can see why there…More »

I have to deduct a star because the coffee is not so great.. I had a latte this afternoon and the espresso tastes like cigarettes. :-(
However, their cookies and muffins are still great! And the chocolate cupcakes are awesome too.

This place has some of the best gelato in all of Vancouver! It tastes like the fruit that it's supposed to be AND it's soooo smooth and creamy. It almost puts Mondo Gelato http://www.yelp.ca/biz... to shame, even though that's pretty good too!
