Best Almond Croissants in Greater Vancouver [GUIDE]
"Purebread is an everyday casual kind of bakery, which is reflected in the price. The almond croissant here was caked over in powdered sugar which was not the best level of sweetness for me and made the entire thing sticky to hold in my sweaty fingers. There was almost no rise here and just a hint of folding effect within."

Best cookies in Vancouver
"Though Cookies by George is a chain, tragically there is only one location in British Columbia. However, it’s downtown and easily accessible from Burrard SkyTrain Station (in Royal Centre Mall), so there’s that. They are soft and chewy and buttery in the best way; get the peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie, of course."

"Les Faux Bourgeois is a quintessential French bistro where you’ll find steak frites, escargot, and servers with French accents who might silently judge you for eating your food so fast. Come here when you want some reliable and reasonably-priced classic French food and don’t want to spend forever trying to get a table. Though if you encounter a short wait, you can kill some time over a few beers at Bells and Whistles a block over before consuming a whole bunch of red wine and creme brulee."

"Head to the adored Les Faux Bourgeois, tucked-away near Fraser and Kingsway, for fine comfort food like their Alsacienne tarte flambée with caramelized onions, smoked bacon and crème fraîche ricotta, and a wine list focused on France and western North America. Location: 663 East 15th Ave."
