Best Dessert in Vancouver

"Frenchman and former Le Gavroche pastry chef Thierry Busset is the chef patron of Thierry, a brilliant patisserie/cafe/chocolatier and lunch spot downtown. Sit on the sunny terrace while you scoff his delectable salted caramel macaroons (£1.23 each) or sink into one of the sumptuous cakes or seasonal tarts made by his wife and co-pastry chef Alison and their team. At lunch, try one of the gourmet baguettes (created by local fine-dining restaurant West's renowned chef Quang Dang), such as the cold smoked sockeye salmon with cucumber and caper cream cheese (£2.71 for half/£5.45 full)."

"If you want to feel like you’ve been transported to another continent and into an authentic European Bakery, then step through the doors of Thierry. This beautiful establishment is pure class and a haven for anyone with a sweet-tooth, and a pleasure for those with an eye for detail. Renowned maitre artisan Chocolatier and Patissier offers a wide selection of breads and baked goods that will leave you with a lasting impression, so take the plunge and treat yourself to a super-sweet experience."

"Born in Auvergne, Thierry Busset trained with European masters before taking his pastry prowess to London’s Le Gavroche and Marco Pierre White (both of which peaked at three Michelin stars). His talent even tamed the famously mercurial Gordon..."

"Breka Bakery & Cafe is set to be “coming soon” to Main Street, according to signage at the new location. The popular destination is known for offering up delicious baked goods and savoury eats 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Breka’s logo is plastered on the windows and door at 4554 Main Street, which is located just a few blocks from Sula’s newly opened restaurant."

"Indulge it at Breka Bakery, open 24 hours a day and serving some seriously good café food and baked goods. While you can order full cakes for special occasions, at 3 am, it’s a slice you’re after. Your choices are between the white chocolate raspberry or the Belgian chocolate espresso, each of which will satisfy your late-night need for the rich, creamy cake."

"A post shared by Breka Bakery & Café (@brekabakery) on Jul 19, 2019 at 4:14pm PDT. How can you really go wrong with a bakery cafe open 24/7?.

"The delicious street food option of The Praguery has cones stuffed with different sweet or savory fillings that will have you going crazy. Typically more of a dessert place with fillings with ice cream and toppings like chocolate, berries, or strudel, it also has savory cones. The savory cones include mainly pulled pork with different toppings such as pineapple salsa, bavarian cabbage, and coleslaw."

"Similar to a European chimney cake, enjoy your ice cream in a freshly-baked Praguery cone. These cones come in ten different flavours and eating ice cream out of these flavoured cones is definitely a unique experience. The Praguery is a food truck so look them up online to find out which neighbourhood they’ll be parked in."

"A post shared by The Praguery (@thepraguery) on Jul 14, 2020 at 11:19am PDT. The Praguery offers a traditional, Eastern European dessert similar to a chimney cake that tastes better with ice cream in it. The cones are freshly baked and you can choose from a variety of different flavours."

"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."

"A post shared by Suzanne (@enchantedchameleon) on Jan 16, 2018 at 7:23am PST. Cupcakes nails the classics like chocolate, red velvet, and vanilla cake – all of which are available in a variety of Insta-worthy styles. In addition to this, their iconic cupcakes are just as pretty as the big cakes and they don’t need to be ordered in advance."

"Despite a strong focus on cupcakes, Original Cupcakes is well known for their custom cakes. Not surprisingly, their most popular creation is their gigantic cupcake cake. The Barbie cake is another big favourite for birthday parties."

"Melo is a newer entry on this list but they've sprung up as a viable option in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. This almond croissant features a good rise and a slight candied crunch to the top almond layer. The inside leaves much to be desired with only a smidgen of almond paste within."

"A visit to this Main Street bakery will have you licking your lips in anticipation as you eye all the baked good treasures on offer. Lovingly handmade in small batches, the The Last Crumb serves Ginger Molasses, Oatmeal and Cranberry, and a gluten-free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie, in addition to a range of scrumptious cookie sandwiches, like the Chocolate Chip Pecan with a vanilla bean buttercream. Cookies are priced at $2.95 each and $3.95 for the sandwich variety."

"Vancouver’s croissant-centric bakery Angus T opened back in 2018, and now the much-loved purveyor is gearing up for a second location. Address: Park Royal, West Vancouver"

"Melo is a newer entry on this list but they've sprung up as a viable option in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. This almond croissant features a good rise and a slight candied crunch to the top almond layer. The inside leaves much to be desired with only a smidgen of almond paste within."

"The cool part about Faubourg's almond croissant is the almond paste appears baked right in unlike most of the entrants which have the croissant sliced open to have the almond paste lathered on. The top layer in this almond croissant was sparse, and though the rise was great, the shell thinned out quickly leading to little flakiness. For $5, this looked pretty small and left a lot to be desired relative to other places on this list."

"Le Mont Blanc” is one of the pastries available at Faubourg, the scrumptious French bakery. It’s a spin on a classic, featuring chestnut mousse paired with a cassis gelée and sweet meringue, set over a sable breton.

"From triple chocolate decadence to passion fruit mousse, this bakery/cafe is a must-try for those wishing to be whisked away to Paris, right here in Vancouver."

Wander over to Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood mini-mall to stock up on inexpensive school and office supplies at discount retailer Dollarama. No phone is beyond repair when you bring it to the electronics technicians at Cellular Repair."

"This spot has a menu full of delicious pizza and pasta among other things. And of course, they have an amazing patio that is perfect for outdoor dining. So if you live downtown or need a spot to check out after work, this might just be it."

"Commercial Drive’s latest Asian fusion eatery features Vietnamese-meets-West Coast flavours. If its 5-star ratings on Google reviews are any indication, customers love B House’s affordable and delicious food, including its daily brunch. Try the classic benny (beer-braised pork belly, spicy aioli, truffle hollandaise, and duck-fat fried potato hashbrowns), the beef hash (sliced AAA top sirloin beef, roasted mushroom, and two poached eggs), the surf ‘n turf breakfast bowl, or the cinnamon French toasts."
