November 23 marked the last day Beta5 served their iconic cream puffs. I've been enjoying their cream puffs since they first started offering them. I still remember discovering their cookie choux and how its texture stood out from other choux pastries. Initially, they offered basic flavors, but over time, they introduced unique flavors and ingredients that I truly loved. The Cream Puff Anthology started in mid-September and runs until November 23, so I made every effort to visit whenever I could to get my favorite cream puff flavors. I tried the Sesame Miso Ramen, Kinako Mochi, Burger, Cherry Cola, Orange, Salted Egg Yolk, Egg Tart, Ube, Mango Coconut, and Raspberry Earl Grey. All of them tasted amazing! My favorites were: Sesame Miso Ramen: The salty and sweet filling was top-notch. Burger: The lettuce, made of chocolate, was impressive, and the patty part was absolutely delicious. Mango Coconut: The tapioca filling was unforgettable--so good! Kinako Mochi: The mochi slice on top paired unexpectedly well with the cookie choux and filling. My journey with Beta5's cream puffs has come to an end. I really hope they bring back the cream puffs as a pop-up or limited special someday... I wish my dream comes true!

I've had this place bookmarked for years and finally got to try it. I was worried when I learned that they would stop making choux/cream puffs but I was excited they announced a final run during the time I'd be in Vancouver. I had to DM them on social media for assistance with online ordering from the US but they were helpful and I got my order of the mango milk tea, salted caramel, and raspberry earl grey, weeks in advance. I arrived at about 1pm and the puffs were already sold out for the day, but my pre order was ready and beautifully packaged. I also ordered two polygon candy bars, Cookie Monster to give to a friend and queen of hearts to take home. I also tried one of their yuzu chocolates and it was delicious. The puffs were definitely worth the wait! I cut each in half and shared with a friend. We both agreed on which was best. Although all three were good, the raspberry earl grey was my favorite! I'll definitely make the trip back to Beta 5 the next time I'm in the area. Even without the cream puffs, the candy is worth it!

I bookmarked this place as a place with really cool cream puffs and was the reason I made a visit here, but seeing recent reviews and checking their IG page after-the-fact, they are no longer available. They do sell some nice artisanal chocolates, as the name of this establishment suggests, but I feel like the main charm of going here was gone. Only 2 displays full of the chocolate varieties made the store feel a bit empty, so I, and seems like plenty of people, would want a chance at the cream puffs again. Wonder what the other shelves on display will show to make it look less empty and take advantage of the generous real estate? The chocolates look pretty aesthetic and we even got to sample some, and they were solid. It was a bit on the pricey side, 4 for 15, 6 for 21, etc and the larger orders also give a free chocolate bar at the bottom.

Fun environment with friendly service. The pastries were very light and flaky. They had a nice variety to choose from.

Fruit Cocktail Cream Puff~
Jennifer T.

These cream puffs were amazing! I placed an order ahead of time online and was able to pick them up for the next day. Online orders were able to be placed up to two weeks in advance. In my order, I got the Fruit Cocktail, Raspberry Earl Grey, Shanghai Fog, and Vietnamese Coffee cream puffs. I gave the Raspberry Earl Grey and Shanghai Fog as gifts so I cannot comment on the taste, but the Vietnamese Coffee cream puff was so delicious! I definitely will be ordering that one again. The Fruit Cocktail was also yummy but I liked the Vietnamese Coffee more out of the two. They are a bit expensive so I most likely will only be getting them on special occasions or if there is a flavor I want to try that is featured. You can see what flavor is featured on their Instagram page.

One of the top chocolatiers in Vancouver, they have now grown into a high end dessert cafe. The chocolate flavours are so unique and complex. Receiving a box of Beta5 means you are very special to someone! The cream puffs are also worth trying. They just came out with some Ghibli inspired decorations - must haves for sure. Everything is 5 stars except the price. They know they're good and will make you pay for your addiction!

Mango Milk Tea, Vietnamese Coffee, & Linzer Cookie
Helen H.

Beta5 was already on my radar the first time I was in Vancouver, but I didn't get a chance to go. I was hoping to go the second time while I was in Vancouver, but it didn't happen. I made it a point that it was a MUST during my most recent trip. I preordered the cream puffs online to ensure I got the flavors I wanted. The only minor problem I had was it asked me to enter a shipping address even though I'm picking up, and won't let me use my US address. I just ended up putting their address. There is a separate door/area then the one to the main store for pick up. I gave them my order number and was given my box of cream puffs. I ordered the mango milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, and Linzer cookie (seasonal). The Linzer cookie was decorated like a mushroom- cute! I loved all of them! It's best to eat them on the same day, as I refrigerated one of them and it wasn't crispy anymore. The next time I'm in Vancouver again, I definitely will come here again. They have rotating flavors and seasonal creations, so there's always something new to try!

Stunningly beautiful, smooth and tasty chocolate. Gorgeous packaging. A huge range of flavours. You can keep coming back to try seasonal flavours too. There's something for everyone. Excellent for gifting or indulging yourself! If it's the choux / cream puffs you want, I recommend pre-ordering online to avoid disappointment! These are truly works of art. Great as a show piece for dinner parties. The shop is a beautiful retail space and cafe! Hidden in an industrial neighbourhood, it's a breath of fresh air stepping into this space. The staff were very helpful in answering our questions and carefully packaging our selections.

Raspberry earl grey and fruit cocktail cream puffs
Feliza C.

Amazing! I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical coming here as I thought it was just another bougie place that only looked cute but had no flavor. Also since we were coming for cream puffs and not chocolates. Came in a couple hours before closing on a Wednesday and they only had a few cream puffs left. The staff was helpful and advised us to come in the next day in the morning. We did just that and it did not disappoint! The pastry itself had the perfect amount of crunch - haven't had a cream puff like it! The filling of the raspberry early grey was okay. I felt like the raspberry was too overpowering and wasn't able to taste the earl grey as much. However, I do think they're the perfect amount of sweetness! They of course have a variety of chocolates to choose from as well which were good - but I'd come back for the cream puffs!

Cream puffs are delicious but I only really enjoyed 2/3 which is their vanilla and chai. The mango was interesting but didn't love it. The cream puffs were beautiful and you could tell they were made with high quality ingredients, but still a bit on the pricier side. That said, I would still recommend ordering this. My other favorite thing at Beta5 is their chocolate bars. They're beautiful and made with chocolate that's sooo smooth and delicious. I bought over 5 of them since they make for great gifts and travels well but again, super pricey. So why 4 stars instead of 5? While I love the things I mentioned above, I also wasted a lot of money on their chocolate bonbons. They're beautifully crafted and visually stunning --and also how I got suckered, but they're no where as good as the chocolate bars. Personally for me, the flavors of the bonbons didn't work that well and didn't pop for me. I gave a box to a friend as a gift and they were also disappointed as well as they were lackluster and forgetful.

SAKURA SEASON HAS COME TO AN END... Even @beta5chocolates Caught the last of their April 2024 cream puffs a few weeks ago and they were the perfect treat. I love how their cream puffs are never too sweet, and are always made with such imaginative flavours! Their cream puff shells are also perfection--so crisp, puffy, and thin. The bakery/chocolate shop is small but bright and comfortable. There are a few tables and bar seating scattered about where you can sit and enjoy your sweet treats. There isn't much interaction with the staff aside from when you are selecting your cream puffs and chocolates. I do have to say though; every time I come here the staff seem a bit standoff-ish. Not sure if it's just me overthinking things but I've never had a really warm/welcoming interaction with the staff here. It's not a big deal but just something to note, maybe I've just always visited on bad days is all. Will still be back for more cream puffs if I'm in the area! Genmaicha Kinako 8/10 The roasted kinako flavour gave just a hint of nuttiness, personally would've preferred a stronger flavour but it was still delicious! Umeboshi Cheesecake 7/10 Ume really is not my jam...so I didn't like this one as much but the cheesecake inside was delicious Have you guys checked out this unique cream puff spot yet? 8/10 ‍8/10 $$ (approx. $8/puff) Beta5 Chocolates | 409 Industrial Ave, Vancouver

Beta5! Probably my favorite to-go dessert place in Vancouver!

Beta5 is consistently amazing! Their cream puffs never disappoint! Still crispy, crunchy pastry, with creamy, flavorful, delicious cream inside! Their location has not changed, but they have had an interior face lift! Prior to Covid, they opened up for some small section of sit in dining, but that quickly reverted back. I'm not complaining. When you order to go... I tend to order more/enough to have more than one. More like one whole dozen! They've recently started a points/rewards system too! So don't forget to sign up for that!

Beta5 has a very unique shop! Tons of creme puff flavors that are pretty exotic and aesthetic. They also sell chocolates and caramels. The cream puffs were amazing. The pastries themselves were crunchy, soft, and airy. The accompanying flavors were also spot on.

We stopped by on our first day exploring Vancouver, and Breka being open 24/7 is already a win. We grabbed a mix of drinks and pastries to share. - Chocolate-Dipped Almond Croissant -- thin chocolate shell that added a unique texture - Cheddar & Chive Scone -- moist, not dry like most scones; loved the cheesy top and chives baked into the dough - Mango Coconut Mousse -- refreshing and clean-tasting, though a bit sweet for an Asian palate - Apple Strudel -- classic and simple; powdered sugar + big apple chunks - Almond Croissant -- super flaky with plenty of marzipan filling - Cretzel Ham & Cheese Melt -- croissant-meets-pretzel fusion; panini-pressed perfectly with melty cheese and ham - Steak & Cheese Panini -- solid; chipotle mayo and green peppers gave it a nice kick - Chai Latte -- light and well-balanced - Hot Latte -- creamy with the perfect coffee punch - Bienenstich (Honorable Mention) -- I wanted this so badly! It's a German classic with a crunchy honey-almond top and creamy vanilla filling sandwiched between two yeast cake layers. They only sell it whole, but an entire cake is just $16.50 CAD ($11.70 USD!) -- an unreal steal Breka bakes everything fresh daily, and you can taste it. This location was popping on a Saturday morning. Plenty of seating, though we snagged one of the last tables for four. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. If I lived in downtown Vancouver, Breka would have my money every weekend.

So glad we came when we did because this place gets very busy!…read more Food and drinks were excellent. I ordered a cappuccino and it wasn't a traditional one, but it was still good. Tried the pistachio donut which was amazing and fluffy. We also got the steak and cheese panini and a French toast sandwich. Personally, due to the cheese and ham being very limited in the French toast sandwich; the sweetness was overpowering. The steak and cheese panini was delicious but I would prefer that it was warmer on inside.

It's right beside the Performance Works building. I don't know how long this shop has been here, but in all my life I've never noticed this place until now. I happened to have just come out of an afternoon show at Performance Works and as I was walking away from the Performance Works building, I happened to turn my head and see this shop, so decided to check it out. They're a small shop/ workshop that does tours which teach how chocolate is made. When you walk in, you can smell chocolate in the air. The lady in the shop offered some samples of their chocolate. I tried their Tanduay Rum chocolate and their Earl Grey Tea chocolate. According to their website their chocolate is award winning. To be honest though, I wasn't blown away by what I tasted. It wasn't bad but it also didn't taste to me like it was award winning chocolate. I noticed a sign though that said they had a drink which was part of the Koolfest. This is a new festival that started this year and is a celebration of cold drink creations from vendors of the annual Hot Chocolate Festival. Kasama's creation was a Filipino Cacao Husk & Kape Cold Brew with Vanilla Cinnamon Syrup and Ube Cold Foam. I hadn't had any Koolfest drinks yet, this one sounded appealing and to be honest...I'm the kind of person who tends to feel guilty about taking free samples and then not buying anything! So...having sampled the Tanduay Rum and Early Grey Tea chocolates, I decided to buy a Koolfest drink. Not much of a coffee person usually. This might be only the second time I've ever ordered a cold brew drink. I very much enjoyed this drink! For me to enjoy a coffee beverage, it has to be sweet and this one was sweet...but not excessively sweet. I loved the Vanilla Cinnamon flavor in it. It really hit the spot.
