1. True Confections
So I returned. English Trifle was wicked. Staff on duty were miles better than last.
Me want more.

The desserts may be almost consistent as the Denman location, but service needs major work.

2. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B7
(604) 809-4333
I've discovered my favourite Japa dog, and it doesn't even have meat! A must, must try is their Choco Banana sweet dog.
Wow, wow, wow. What a brilliant Japanese-engineered work of art. Perfect dougnut-like 'bun' sprinkled with sugar contains a…More »

So I finally tried THE Dog. Japa Dog that is. Opening it doors last Friday (May 28th), this is Japa… Read more »
3. Sweet Revenge
So I repeated. And I think it may have been too soon.
My sweet tooth took over logic (health wise that is) so came back for dessert. We were the only ones there when we got there = romantic. We ordered up Americano's, Zuccotto and Berry Triffle.

4. Pine House Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z1
(604) 215-3370
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Cheap, fresh Chinese baked delights. Located in a diverse part of Hastings, this is a great little bakery front with their staff pumping out oodles of fresh goods in the back for their wholesale customers.
We grabbed baked pineapple BBQ pork buns,…More »
5. Bella Gelateria
Vancouver, BC V6C 0B7
(604) 569-1010
Categories:
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Based on Janice F's acclamations of this joint, I decided to give it a lick.
Greeted by a pair of cheery attendants, we started the debate of flavour choice. All the gelato is covered with metal lids, so it makes it kind of harder to choose. I'm a…More »
6. Bellagio's Gelato
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G6
(604) 871-9110
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Pear and cheese flavour. Caught my eye, sampled it, loved it. Bonus points to the relatively generous size of samples. They only had 2 staff, though luckily we got there before a big rush of people. Cash only.
7. Lee's Donuts of Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-4021
Category:
Doughnuts
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I was told by two trusted individuals that this was THE place for fresh, handmade Donuts. Luckily after tasting Lee's, they still have my trust.
With Olympic chaos in full-swing, Granville Island was as packed as People's Square in Shanghai. Luckily…More »
8. True Confections
A little pricey /slice, but very tasty cake. Consistent service and great coffee. Located close to English Bay is also a great plus if on a romantic date.
9. La Casa Gelato
Vancouver, BC V6A 3R9
(604) 251-3211
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
What can I say, endless flavour choices from wall to wall to wall. It usually takes me a good 20 min to choose a flavour as there are just so many. Always a hot spot during the summer.
I like the decor as the walls are covered in waffle cones and…More »
10. Cheesecake Etc
Vancouver, BC V6H 3E9
(604) 734-7704
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Based on a friend's recommendation, we went here for dessert last night. I find this odd, but they have two locations, side by side. They serve the same stuff, just one has dark lighting, the other has bright lighting. We chose the bright. I'm sure…More »
