Egg & Avocado Breakfast Croissant, Key Lime Pie, Flat White
Dana S.

I felt like a lot of care goes into into the business here. The vibe is very homey - no fancy aesthetics, but it's comfortable. The staff seem very nice. Huge menu of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast-y things like oatmeal. There's a display case in front that has some of the sandwiches and stuff in it, but anything on the written menu is fair game to order, which I did not realize until I saw people with sandwiches not from the case. Also there's the usual coffee/tea drinks and a variety of baked goods, all of which looked delicious. I had an egg & avocado breakfast croissant, a key lime pie, and a flat white. I think the prices are really fair. The sandwich was made on a cheese croissant and had an additional slice of cheese inside which made it very cheesy but very yummy. The crunch of the melted cheese on the outside was really good. The hard boiled egg inside was a little different from the usual scrambled or fried egg in breakfast sandwiches but I liked this better with the avocado. The only complaint I have is that there was a lot of grease on the bottom of the sandwich, enough to pool on the plate. I liked that they served it with a mini pickle. The key lime pie was a fun and unique take on the dessert - it was made up of layers of key lime custard and tea biscuits. I loved the texturing and the lime flavour was very pronounced. They did a great job on my flat white too. They served it in a disposable cup even though I ordered for here but I'll assume that was an honest mistake. Loved the vibe and the food was very well made, so I hope to be back.

I originally wanted to go to Starbucks next door, but changed my mind when I saw this local cafe. AMOKA is a small, clean cafe with vibrant wall paintings. They offer quick and friendly service. They have a decent selection of baked goods, and lots of specialty beverages. I ordered the lavender London fog and a regular banana bread. The cashier asked me to take a sip just to make sure there is enough syrup, but there wasn't. So I am glad he offered to add more syrup to sweeten my drink. However, after I walked out with the fog and I noticed that it was just too milky than sweet, and I couldn't really taste the tea. It wasn't very tasty, rather just milky for me. The banana bread was also just OK. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. It was lacking taste, as well. I had half of it, as I shared the bread with a friend. My friend also had the same comments about the bread.

Butter Tart, Lemon Meringue mini tart, and Ginger Molasses cookie (2/21/18)
Marie B.

Walked past a Transylvannian bakery and another adjacent spot that featured churros, but was closed. First stop today on upper Davie/West End was to check out Tartine Bread and Pies instead (2/21/18). It was still below freezing and the flurries started, so it was a welcomed stop to warm up and check out their baked goods. Nice to see a bustling neighborhood bakeshop/cafe. The pastry case filled with eye catching items: pastries, cookies, pies, and artisan loaves of bread too. Smelled nice! Super friendly and genuine counter person who rang up our purchases of one each: a ginger molasses cookie, a butter tart, and a mini lemon tart ($4.95 Cdn). The Homie consumed the mini tart onsite. We shared the butter tart later on back at the high rise flat. Reminded me of the pecan tassies my late father baked, minus the pecans. The ginger molasses cookie had that signature chew and flavor. These items were spot on satisfying! I'm glad I stopped in at Tartine Bread and Pies.

I should reserve full judgment till I try one of the sweet treats here, but in the mean time, Tartine serves up a decent turkey sandwich for under $10. I tried the Turkey Delight, with lettuce and cucumber. The housemade (?) multigrain bread was on the softer side, the turkey good quality (not slimy, overly salty and processed), and the veggies fresh. Don't be afraid to ask for additional condiments (I swapped the prescribed cranberry mayo for classic yellow mustard). The space is a bit on the smaller side for eating in, so not ideal for larger groups, but tea for two, me and you, is all good.

Bars and cookies - their molasses cookie is great!
Courtney L.

The sight of pie through the windows pulled us in as we walked by Tartine after dinner. It's so cute and quaint, offering fresh pies made daily. Right at the front, a board lists the several seasonal pies available, but since we stopped in around 6 PM, the flavors that we were the most excited about tasting had unfortunately sold out. The employee behind the counter was friendly and patient while we were deciding on our order, which we appreciated since we can be pretty indecisive when it comes to baked goods. **TIP** There's a special deal for latecomers like us: After 6:00 PM, if you buy a slice of pie, a complimentary tea or coffee is included, all for $4.20. Not too bad! We opted for a slice of blueberry pie and couldn't resist from also grabbing a molasses cookie ($1.75). The cookie was chewy, light and buttery - so good! Sadly, I wasn't huge fan of the pie. The blueberry filling wasn't too flavorful... not sweet nor tart, but instead pretty bland. The crumble on top also didn't add to the pie at all. Lesson learned... come here before early afternoon to avoid the slim pickings from the day's leftovers. Although coming in late allows you to take advantage of their 6:00 PM deal, the selection is extremely limited.

Vegan Almond Croissant
Aishani B.

Cute cafe in the neighborhood. Their coffee was pretty decent. Got myself a cappuccino with skim milk, definitely the milk to coffee ratio was a bit off for me. Their vegan almond croissant was super delicious, and took me a second to tell it apart from a regular almond croissant.

Morning glory muffin. Very subtle sweetness from the sultanas inside. Quite dry outside layer but the inside is lovely.
Emma E.

Super fast and friendly service. All the bakery items are good, nothing mind blowing but always consistently nice and the coffee is yummy :)

Not as good as it used it to be... I used to live and work near this location and go in regularly for lunch. I was in the area so decided to stop in. The turkey delight sandwich was always my favourite, unfortunately now it is essentially salad on bread with a hint of turkey, they have really cut back on the turkey. There was so much lettuce on it and I had to search for the turkey. Don't think I'll be stopping in again which is too bad.

Sour cherry tart, my favorite
Christy P.

I was visiting Vancouver for vacation and staying in the area. I can only vouch for the sour cherry tarts but in the span of a 7 day vacation, we came back here twice which is a lot for us. After all, we were on a food tour of Vancouver. The tarts are reasonably priced, and the cherries were the perfect amount of sweet and tart. The crust was soft, slightly sweet and the oh dang, the filling was magic. The filling was sugary sweet with a hint of sour, and the crumble on top was great. You won't be disappointed if you pop in for a small treat. If I was staying longer, I probably would have eaten a whole pie to myself.

Buckwheat Chocolate chip walnut cookie! Simply the best cookie Ever! And I got my helmet, bike, cookie and sign all in the same shot haha!

Absolutely I MEAN completely INCREDIBLE Peach Plum Pear crumble pie! Sourceam Blueberry or Raspberry pie Great too AND can't forget the BUTTER tarts mmm mmm delish! Staff is uber pleasant and happy even when its busy. Thank you! Update!!! Ok so I was dreaming of peach pie today and all summer actually......just a few hours too late whoops they're sold out! After much himming and haaaing I had a Buckwheat chocolate chip walnut cookie... and then Dam.....Another one! So soft chewy delicious BUT i came for pie so I was not leaving without one and at $4.95 i cant resist considering the mediocre ones in kits are $7.95. Ok so here is my pie/dessert biking adventure in print. Sour cherry pie from tartine Davie street and French Vanilla Gelato from Yaletown Gelato on Homer and Davie. Tartine doesn't offer ice cream with their pie but Ill still give them a 5 for deliciousness and patience with me.

2 years later and still my fav spot for matcha lattes! The staff are sooo friendly and the drinks…read moreare quality! Love that oat milk is free to substitute! Highly recommend their mochi pastries and icecream too!

iced matcha latte with oat milk and a chance to win a whisked away to japan? okay, avik, you have…read moremy attention. stopped into avik a little after 3:00 pm on a tuesday, on my way to an appointment, and the place was packed. not exactly surprising given that this west broadway café has become known for its specialty coffee and tea, house made pastries, and all sorts of creative japanese inspired treats. it's a bright, modern space, and there's a lot going on once you start looking around. i went with the iced matcha latte with oat milk, and it was a solid matcha. smooth, nicely balanced, and definitely enough to satisfy the afternoon matcha craving. avik describes its matcha as a high grade tea offering, alongside hojicha, chai and london fog, so tea clearly gets more than an obligatory spot on the menu. then there's the pastry display. so. many. things. the strawberry matcha cookie immediately caught my eye, but then there was a mochi black sesame croissant and i was basically standing there thinking, wait, what?! the menu leans into those japanese flavours in some really fun ways, and there are enough interesting combinations to make a return visit feel very necessary. the strawberry matcha cookie, for example, combines matcha, dried strawberries, white chocolate and cream cheese. the ordering setup is also very much of the future is now variety. there's a huge tablet for self ordering, plus a sliding freezer case for chocolates and ice cream bars. because apparently a regular pastry case wasn't futuristic enough. and then there was the little bonus dangling in front of me: the chance to win a trip to japan through the whisked away to japan promotion, courtesy of paragon. considering how much i've been thinking about japan lately, that felt like a particularly well timed bit of temptation. i sure could use a trip to japan right about now. between the matcha, the creative pastries, the japanese inspired flavours and the very modern ordering setup, avik is a fun stop when the usual coffee and croissant routine needs a little shaking up. even on a packed tuesday afternoon, there was plenty to catch the eye and plenty of reasons to start planning the next visit.

Was it the dreamiest, creamiest dessert I've had in awhile? Yes, yes and yes. The matcha flavor was strong, it was smooth, no complaints here. Will have dreams about this drink. Strawberry: 3/5 stars. I saw it was their most popular and eh honestly I've had better. It wasn't bad, but the matcha wasn't strong enough. It was more on the green milk side for flavor, but the strawberry was nice and not artificial tasting. Vibes: 6/5 stars. Super cute. Little mid-century modern vibe to it. The workers have cool vibes. The customers do too. All around fun and unique. Drinks also came out exceptionally fast even with a line!

Parking can be a bit tricky -- if you're lucky, you might find street parking right out front. With limited space inside, expect a line outside if there are more than a few people ahead of you. We ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, Earl Grey Flat White, and a Pastéis de Nata. The drinks took about five minutes to prepare, and the staff worked efficiently. Their menu seems to rotate seasonally, so you might find limited-time or specialty flavors depending on when you visit. As for the drinks, they were just okay in my opinion. The flat white was quite strong, and while it included Earl Grey syrup, the flavor didn't come through as clearly as expected. The Pastéis de Nata was decent -- not too sweet, but a bit dense. Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get. Worth a visit if you're curious about their seasonal offerings.

Insane Venezuelan Dulce de Leche Lattes…read more Starbucks Caramel Lattes can go take a walk. * * * Chocolate donuts with strawberry icing with massive huge strawberry taste in the icing. The only good frosted donut I have ever eaten with complete wonderment. (Actually, I have not had that many good donuts in over 72 years of donut eating. I am not sure how cops on break tolerate the average American or Canadian donut. But thank god, they eat them so I don't have to.) But I would eat donuts all day and all night at 49th Parallel. What a place!

Brownie points for convenience. My husband ordered a double espresso and in true men's fashion claimed it to be "solid". I ordered the maple sea salt shaken espresso and it was *chefs kiss*. If you are a sweet and salty lover, get it! It won't disappoint you. We also ordered the Doug sandwich and the Avo sandwich. Don't let the looks fool you as the sandwiches' appearances fall kind of short. However, both sandwiches were delicious. Starbucks could never. ‍ The Doug Sandwich - a full bodied sandwich consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and tarragon aioli. I thought this sandwich would be too heavy, but the brioche bun is light and the scrambled eggs are really fluffy. The Avo Sandwich - a lighter sandwich featuring fried egg, avocado, cheddar cheese, sun dried tomato pesto, tarragon aioli and mixed greens. Also a good choice! The cafe was clean and they have a water dispenser available for customers. Service was ok, but I think they were just a bit busy.
