See All Lists
1. CocoaNymph
Vancouver, BC V6R 2G5
(604) 222-4477
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Point Grey
I blame November's Elite Party http://www.yelp.ca/biz... It's where I first tried CocoaNymph and fell for the dark chocolate and salted caramel bar. Fast forward a couple of months and...
There I am, trying to push the thoughts of a crunch and tang of…More »
2. Yoka's Coffee - CLOSED
Oh - Yoka- I could not start my day without you and your delivery of my first dose of daily caffeine!
What I can't believe I have never tried until yesterday is the chocolate. It sits there - taunting me every time I go in, and yet I've resisted for…More »
3. Mink - A Chocolate Café
Vancouver, BC V6C 3N9
(604) 633-2451
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
For a choco-holic, this is my paradise. Great vibe as soon as you walk in and smell the warm ganache. They give you a choice between milk or dark chocolate for your mocha and use the ganache to prepare it - no syrup here. The clover coffee machine…More »
4. Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries
If I admitted just how many times I have been here, or just how many of their delectable desserts I have drooled over before taking a bite --you may think I'm an addict.
The St. Honore, mango cheesecake and everything chocolate in between - there…More »
5. Yaletown Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6B 2Y5
(604) 689-8531
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Double scoop and a double take - gelatini..what? Like a boozy affagato? No way! Okay, so I didn't notice the option to splash a shot of liquor over my scoop until after I had paid - but this gives me the best reason to go back soon!
Seriously,…More »
6. Café Medina
Vancouver, BC V6B 2L3
(604) 879-3114
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown
"For the Love of Medina"
Oh your lavender latte was unexpectedly lovely
But your raspberry version took my breath away...
The murmurings of those sipping and chatting
Melted me into my chair while my heart fell for
The waffles, of which I
Partook in…More »
7. Siegel's Bagels
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-5670
Category:
Bagels
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
So I had to wait in line a little longer because people kept butting in front of me. These things happen on the weekend when you're standing in the chaotic midst of Granville Island's Public Market.
The wait - worth it! Starving, I snagged an…More »
8. Galloway's Specialty Foods
Richmond, BC V6X 2A5
(604) 270-6363
Categories:
Grocery,
Health Food Store
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
When I was a little girl, I would spend hours at the mall, looking at all of the pretty dresses and shoes -- fantasizing about all of places I could go, all dressed up.
Now, all grown up, when I go to Galloway's, I can spend the better part of an…More »
9. Gelarmony
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M8
(604) 647-6638
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West End
When life throws you lemons, make some lemon gelato...or in my case - run straight to the dark chocolate and say "better make it a double."
I was so excited to see that one of the frozen case of goodies contained 1/2 sorbetto, 1/2 soy gelato; while…More »
10. Blue Chip Cookies
Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I don't go to UBC. But my boyfriend does and I beg, beg, beg him to bring me home cookies. I think the ones he brings me are called Marbelous and Brazilian Crunch. I haven't paid much attention. He might be telling me about green tax (when you pay…More »
11. Aphrodite's Organic Café and Pie Shop
Vancouver, BC V6R 1N8
(604) 733-8308
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Even though this place charges a little more than what I'm usually willing to pay for things like pie ($7.50 a slice!) I think it's well worth it - organic and scrumptious all the way!
Their 3 course dinners might look expensive when you view them a…More »
12. Caffe Artigiano
West Vancouver, BC V7T 2Z3
(604) 913-1400
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Artigiano is a great place for meetings and social gatherings. If I'm not downing an Americano, I'm all over their artsy lattes.
The location in Park Royal's Village feels a lot bigger than some of their other locations. I love the round bar. It…More »
13. Max's Bakery & Delicatessen
Vancouver, BC V6H 2L2
(604) 733-4838
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, Fairview Slopes
Nom, nom, nom, nom! So many sugary, buttery, rich pastries...what should I chose? That almond butter and chocolate croissant looks like it has a day's worth of carbs--let's have one of those! Okay, so there's no denying it, it was incredible...but…More »

Like a dog who can pick up the scent of a criminal or someone in distress, I have an eagle-eye nose ;p when it comes to tracking the smell of baked goods all the way across town.
Overcome with a spicy aroma, I was…More »

Vancouver, BC V6K
(604) 736-1848
Categories:
Desserts,
Bakeries,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
On a weekday morning, Kits is filled with one thing and one thing only - mommy meetups. Bugaboos, fashionable diaper bags, yoga gear, oh and kiddies galore. So what better place to take kiddies than in for some chocolate?
Me, alone with my computer,…More »
16. Kreation Artisan Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W6
(604) 871-9119
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
Raspberry black forest cupcake -- I think I'm in love with your moist dark chocolate body and your REAL raspberry frosting top (plus seeds)
In my dream world I am sitting on top of a pillowy cloud (likely made of whip cream) and I have a tower of…More »
17. Thierry Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A1
(604) 608-6870
Categories:
Bakeries,
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
If I were to design a home, it would have hints of Thierry. Bits of bamboo, glass, dark woods -- oh and macarons, many, many colours of macarons.
After trying the Macaron of the day (Ginger), I bought a 7 pack with lime and coffee creations. I do…More »
18. Chocolatas
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 504-5957
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Are you lured in by artfully designed sweets sporting names like "whisky" and descriptions like "stem, pits and liquor"? Well, for years, the closest I have come to tempting my tongue has been leering at Chocolatas while ordering up some Oyama across…More »
