Best Cake Places in Gibsons

"Not only does Trafiq create the most charmingly aesthetic cakes, but they have flavours so fulfilling you’ll find yourself coming back every week to try out a new one!. With a friendly, responsive staff and each cake layer oozing with taste, Mount Pleasant’s Trafiq is one of our favourite places to get our baked goodies from."

"When you hear about Trafiq, it's not about their almond croissants, that's for sure. The almond croissant here was more of a foldover and the saddest part was the upper shell of the croissant I bought fell off the rest of the croissant when I opened my takeout box. I had to place it back carefully to take my photo."

"A post shared by Alana Yee (@yvreats) on Feb 25, 2018 at 8:35pm PST. Trafiq’s multi-layered cakes are loved by Vancouverites and they come in a variety of flavours. Try their signature salted caramel, drizzled with homemade caramel sauc,e or the carrot cake, which is iced with a decadent cream cheese frosting."

"Known for their cheesecake, this 18-year old Kitsilano bakery uses real ingredients (no artificial stabilizers, colours or flavours) that are sourced locally when possible. Sweet Obsession is essentially zero waste with an on-site composter. Customization of cakes, which range from 10” to 16”, is quite simple (extra fruit, different masking), but a personalized message can be added at no charge."

"Known for more than just their cheesecake, this popular pastry and cake shop is a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. But their cheesecakes are, simply, to die for. A simple selection of four — New York, chocolate marble, mango and lemon — the recipe manages to be both sweet and savoury, with that kick of salty cheese shining through as it should."

"Seriously, we cannot be expected to pick just one–not when the selections include Hedgehog (hazelnut and chocolate with Frangelico), Chocolate Obsession (chocolate truffle), Carrot cake with roasted hazelnuts, or Roasted Coconut Chiffon…just to name a few.

"Ganache, as the name suggests, offers a little bit of Parisian elegance in the heart of Yaletown. Visit this talented team of artisans to enjoy eye-catching desserts that are pretty enough to provide a wow factor, and delicious enough to keep you coming back. Individual strawberry and rhubarb cheesecakes taste like a fresh summer’s day; these enchanting edibles feature an almond biscotti base, a tart strawberry balsamic glaze and a white chocolate garnish."

"Uniquely designed and handcrafted by a team of pastry chefs, the menu at Ganache is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly. The one consistent theme at Ganache is French technique with subtle Asian influences running throughout each of their incredible delicious pastries."

"Similar to my complaints about JJ Bean's croissant being too buttery, the almond croissant at Ganache was too sweet for me. The almond paste was extra moist and each bite felt more doughy than flaky. Almost no rise to speak of here, either, which is too many red flags for $5."

"Everyone talks about the double bake from Thomas Haas, but what if I told you there was a cheaper double bake option, and at least in a case-by-case comparison in my analysis, that came from a newer entrant in the Vancouver almond croissant scene?. While the almond paste was a little on the short side, it feels like the intention here was to showcase the mastery in flakiness and overall croissant mastery. The folds here were immaculate to say the least and the rise was off the charts relative to everything else on this list."

"We are an independent bakery specializing in naturally leavened sourdough bread and French inspired pastries. We believe in making everything from scratch, with fresh, high quality ingredients. All of our breads are made with whole grains and baked"

"Ladurée is a famous French bakery that’s all about their macarons. Their Vancouver shop was the first location in Canada, and you can find all kinds of delicious treats and drinks. The macarons are the perfect mix of slightly crunchy on the outside and decadently soft on the inside, and they’re so good."

"Vancouver was lucky enough to be the first Canadian home of Ladurée back in 2016. While the French sweet shop was best known for their macarons, they have since introduced a line of perfectly Parisian cakes and pastries that are so dainty and so cute that you’ll almost question devouring them (almost)."

"A post shared by L’ Atelier Patisserie (@l_atelier_patisserie) on Sep 14, 2017 at 8:10am PDT. Talented pastry chef Franck Buiron used to lead the team at Au Comptoir, but has since left and opened his own patisserie where you can find some of his divine creations like the hazelnut cream filled choux pastry, Paris-brest, or the orange matcha cake which contains layers of white chocolate matcha mousse, financier sponge, and passion fruit orange cream. Address: 120 – 260 East 5th Avenue, VancouverPhone: 778-689-0264"

"The value of a $4.30 croissant can't be denied at L'atelier Patisserie. This almond croissant was very buttery and flaky and I could feel the flakes shattering under my knife for the cross section. Sadly though, the rise isn't that great, leaving a small air gap between the croissant and the almond."

"L’atelier Patisserie is a French owned pastry and cakeshop specialized in fresh baked goods. freshly baked every morning. They serve croissants, pains au chocolat, brioches and much more."

"The Juice Truck was one of Vancouver's cold-pressed juice pioneers, hitting the street with their reddish-pink truck and selection of juices and fresh smoothies. They've managed to remain a dominant force in the juice and plant-based eating game in town, with multiple store fronts and a best-selling book."

"We offer Cold Pressed Juices, Smoothies, Plant Based Meals, Supplements and Grocery for takeout and delivery. Try: The Green (Cold Pressed Juice), Bestie Granola, Oatly Oat Milk, The Macro Bowl"

"At the Juice Truck Cafe, you can grab a fresh cold-pressed juice to enjoy on the spot or take home. They also offer light and healthy breakfast and lunch to go."

"Grouse Mountain is about 15-minutes after crossing Lions Gate Bridge. Head to the top of Grouse Mountain by cable car and you’ll be transformed into a snowy world of outdoor skating, snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding. In summer, you’ll still find lots of snow, but it’s truly a hiker’s dream with a heap of trails, the Grouse Grind, and mountaintop trails of varying intensity that’ll suit most hikers."

"The Lion’s Gate Bridge is Vancouver’s most iconic bridge, and the best views of it are from Stanley Park. See it from the Prospect Point Lookout or walk a little bit down Stanley Park Drive to see it straight on like in the photo above!. Fun fact: the Guinness family (yes, the Irish brewing company) built the bridge in 1938!"

"There are multiple ways to get amazing views of Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver. The Lions Gate Bridge frames the mountain peaks of The Lions in the distance and you’ll find stone lions “protecting” the entrance to the bridge. The Lions Gate Bridge can be viewed from the Sea Wall or from Prospect Point"

"Our waterfront Vancouver restaurant, ARC, is the perfect West Coast Setting to enjoy urban artisan food. Made with locally sourced ingredients, some from our very own rooftop herb garden and beehives, our food is rivaled only by our stunning harbour and..."

"Not your average sushi rolls, but the ingredients they use and the way they use them make for a great dining experience. Be prepared to wait and dine 10 inches away from the next table, it’s a tight squeeze, but worth it. Service could be more attentive."
