1. 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 »
2. Timbre Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B2
(604) 215-7515
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Atmosphere definitely deserves a full four stars. Modern rustic: It looks like a log cabin, it smells like cedar, yum, with a lively and unpretentious atmosphere.
The food however left me dangling my mouse over the 2 star for quite some…More »
3. Bi-Rite Creamery
San Francisco, CA 94110

Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mission
The last time I had soft serve was a twisted cone at McD's...circa 1999. So you may imagine that my eyes were bright with anticipation, my lips were breaking into a smile and that I was practically begging by the time I made it through the line and…More »

Perhaps my 5 stars stems from the fact that I was blown away that on a Tuesday night there was a… Read more »
4. Big City Cupcakes - CLOSED
Screeeeech (that's the sound of my car brakes); kerplunk (that's the sound of my farm fresh produce falling off the seat); yippie (that's the sound of me as I skip towards the new cupcake shop)
It's okay to have a cupcake for brekkie right?
Just opened…More »
5. Boneta Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5
(604) 684-1844
Be warned - you will be smiling and bopping in your chair during your whole Boneta experience.
To start the evening, I surprised myself in choosing "The Vancouver" martini. Nothing in it sounded like what I would want in a drink, but I love my town…More »
6. Milwaukee Market Creamery - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1W5
(778) 989-0580
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Ch-ch-ch-ch-chocolate frozen deliciousness with pistachios to top it all off. Feels richer than ice cream, but the owner told me it has less fat (if that's a selling feature for you). For me, it was the fact that it was so thick it stuck to my spoon,…More »
7. 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 »
8. 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 »
9. 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 »
10. Sweet Revenge
Maybe all the hype led to my disappointment, but I actually think my me-thinks-not feeling started to stick as soon as I stepped foot inside...literally.
In lieu of a standard review, I give you "The Rules."
Rule #1 - Step lightly. The floor is so…More »
11. Cupcakes On Denman
Vancouver, BC V6G 2M9
(604) 974-1300
A place that hand delivers a gift box consisting of mini cupcakes on your birthday deserves a fourth star.
It's been about a year since my last Cupcakes review. Since that time, I've tested out the other cupcakeries in town, I've eaten a lot of cake,…More »

12. Tartine Bread & Pies
I love me some tarts, tarts, tarts. I need those tarts, tarts, tarts. Give me those tarts, tarts, tarts.
Tartine bread has become a staple in my kitchen (not sliced, thanks!), and every week or so, I skip out to "grocery shop" and give myself a wee…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 »
14. Farm Cottage Bakery
Rainy Saturday and I'm in New West wondering what the heck I'm gonna eat for lunch. But no need to fear, Christine R pointed me and my tummy in the right direction.

16. New Town Bakery & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 1T3
(604) 689-7835
Just how much butter does New Town go through in a day? I imagine truckloads and truckloads with mornings filled with the sweet scent of baking in the back. I base my hypothesis solely on the crispiness of their butterfly crisps, the flakiness of…More »

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 »

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 »

Vancouver, BC V5T 3J1
(604) 558-4880
The most exciting dates for me occur when friends (this time Reena M) suggest we meet somewhere I've never actually stepped foot in. Yes, that's right, "Hi, I'm Crystal H, long time enjoyer of a French Made Baking macaron, first time visitor" to the…More »
