"They serve breakfast and lunch, pastries and cakes in their spacious shop on Main St. Everything that is served is made in the bakery. They believe in hands on experience plus an eager willingness to continue learning. Peak inside their bakery windows and watch their dedicated professional team whisking up sumptuous creations."

"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."

"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."

"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. Address: 2611 West 16th Avenue, Vancouver. Instagram: @trafalgars_sweetobsession"

"Venturing out to the west side of Vancouver, this almond croissant was the cheapest non-Starbucks variant, but it came at a price. Rise was probably the best point of this croissant with just a few gaps in layering. Look closely though, and notice the lack of almond paste either on top or within the croissant."

"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."

"Coco Exotique, Passion et Chocolat, Cassis et Matcha are three of the 24 cake types offered at Yaletown’s preeminent French patisserie, run by veteran pastry chef Peter Fong. Looking for something Fancy?. Ganache hand-makes custom, handcrafted bonbons, chocolate sculpture centerpieces and unique personalized cake decorations, like Louis Vuitton or Nike shoes (pictured), with quality ingredients like Cacao Barry Chocolate."

"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."

"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)."

"We couldn’t write a list of the best donuts in Vancouver without including this absolute titan. We’re not going to sit here and say it’s off the charts, flavour-wise. But, there’s no denying that Duffin’s is a magical place in Vancouver, has a tremendous range of donuts to choose from, and the best value in the city by far."

"A post shared by Duffins Donuts (@duffins_donuts) on Jul 4, 2017 at 8:45am PDT. A hidden Vancouver gem, Duffin’s is open 24 hours a day and has an enticing menu full of cheap eats. Their subs sell for less than $5, they have an all-day breakfast for $4.75, and of course, fresh doughnuts."

"A post shared by Minn 🇰🇷 | Let's Eat Van 🇨🇦 (@minn._.pixels) on Jun 19, 2018 at 11:54pm PDT. Try out liquid nitrogen ice cream at this eatery. Using liquid nitrogen helps create the ice cream faster and it often has a smoother, creamier texture than traditional ice cream."

"A post shared by Ice Cream, Catering & Events (@bucketsicecream) on May 12, 2020 at 4:00pm PDT. This place has got buckets of ice cream to satisfy your dessert tastebuds. Buckets offers all the classics and then some, and even some vegan options."

"The view from Lift Bar and Grill's rooftop patio is nothing short of breathtaking. Situated in the middle of Coal Harbour, it's easy to appreciate the atmosphere by the nearby water. On top of its ambiance, the Lift Bar and Grill also serves sushi, steak and seafood."

"LIFT is a dynamic oceanfront restaurant and lounge located in the Coal Harbour. LIFT blends the eclectic ambience of a New York eatery with West Coast hospitality. Features include an upper deck patio with outdoor fireplaces."

"A fascinating place to visit, Science World is home to all kinds of interesting exhibitions that shine a light on everything from art and the body to water, air, and animals. Set at the end of False Creek, it occupies a state-of-the-art center that is instantly recognizable due to its distinctive geodesic dome. Since opening in 1989, the museum has been a firm favorite with locals and tourists alike."

"Kind of overplayed (like the Central Library) but a ‘coolest buildings in Vancouver’ list wouldn’t be complete without it. First off, no one can deny that it looks cool at night. And second, that ball looking thing is a geodesic dome, the cornerstone of the futurist aesthetic, shoutout to Buckminster Fuller."

"Under Vancouver's favorite geodesic dome (OK, it's only one), this ever-popular science showcase has tonnes of hands-on galleries and a cool outdoor park crammed with rugged fun (yes, you can lift 2028kg).... Waterfront in Downtown & West End"

"Canada’s first classical Chinese Garden is regarded as one of the top city gardens in the world. Taihu limestone, jade green water, and 150-year-old miniature trees are some of are some of the most eye-catching features of its meticulous arrangements. And it’s not only beautiful, but also structurally remarkable, having been almost entirely constructed using traditional 15th century methods and materials."

"It’s a spot rich in history as it’s the first Chinese garden built outside of China. It’s also National Geographic’s “Top City Garden in the World”. This an extremely celestial outdoor space, providing quiet respite from the bustling city and offering dozens of opportunities to photograph 150-year old miniature trees, a jade green pond, and famous koi fish."
