    Keeping the tradition alive and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate at @bjornbar&bakery for the 4th year in a row #26 - A BEAR NECESSITYSpicy cayenne and caramel infused hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and caramel. Served with a shortbread cookie shaped like a bear covered in delicious sprinkles. #27 - "BJORN" THE BEAR-SCOTTI LOVER Dark chocolate orange hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and chocolate decor. Served with a dark chocolate biscotti filled with orange zest and toasted hazelnuts. Both drinks were delicious. I personally liked the bear cookie more because the biscotti was a little too hard for my liking. I really liked this year's features but out of the 8 hot chocolates I've tried from here over the years, these weren't in the top 3.

    Bjornbar Bakery makes all sorts of wonderful goodies, but our favorite is the Ganookie. The Ganookie is a humungous cookie that is filled with Ganache. Ganache + Cookie = Ganookie! We first tried them a couple of years ago, for my birthday. Munchkin and I fell in love with Ganookies right then and there. They are soft, ooey gooey, and packed with flavor. You can order them online at https://www.ganookie.com/ or just walk into the shop and buy them. Ordering online is really the best way to buy them (in my opinion), as you can choose as many as you like and you get to choose from a wide variety of ganache flavors. When you walk into the shop, there's a limited selection and you just have to settle for whatever is available. We happened to be in Edgemont Village already and made a spontaneous decision to drop by Bjornbar Bakery, so we just took whatever they had. On this day, they had several different cookies, all filled with Mocha Ganache. We actually made the mistake of thinking they were all filled with chocolate ganache as we brought the Ganookies home and didn't bother reading the labels on the back until after we'd eaten them. Ooops! The coffee flavor was very prominent. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it wasn't chocolate, which is when I finally flipped over the wrapper and saw the words "Mocha Ganache." Super yummy all the same, and the fact that the coffee flavor was so pronounced that it caused me to question what flavor I'd bought and read the wrapper is a positive I think, as it means they did a really good job of making the ganache mocha flavored!

    The yummy treats

    We had a difficult time choosing what to try and ended up leaning towards the baked goods (although the pastry case looked delectable as well). We were blown away by all four items we had--a pistachio pastry, a marzipan croissant, a chocolate zucchini muffin, and a small chocolate donut like item. The marzipan croissant was generously filled with marzipan and an amazing croissant.... while I love pistachios and really appreciated the generous amount in this slice.

    I wish I live in this village or nearby, just so I can try all the cakes, pastries, sandwiches and drinks here. They all look so appetizing. The place is welcoming and staff are friendly. My friend and I came here to explore Edgemont Village and to try the hot chocolate here. We had the same one -- Ciao Bella -- which is tiramisu hot chocolate served with tiramisu ganookie bite. This was very yummy. Rich and dark chocolate with a hint of alcohol. It went very well. As we were waiting to go somewhere else for lunch, we did not try any of the other baked goods or sandwiches. Definitely a place to visit again when I am in this area.

    Black Forest,  tiramisu, lemon meringue and matcha bars.
    Daisy Y.

    Oh. My. Word. Why have I not come to this wonderful place sooner?? I guess I always pictured the bars being sold as granola, energy type bars. I was in the area and wanted to stop by for Hot Chocolate Fest, so I looked at the website to see what else was available. I was drooling just reading the menu. Now imagine being there and seeing a display case full of dessert bars. The selection is a bit overwhelming. I had a box of 4 (2.99 each): tiramisu - superb, just like the actual full size, lemon meringue - awesome except for the saltiness of the meringue that I didn't really like, black forest - deeeee-lightful, and matcha - kinda underwhelming, but not bad for those looking for something that isn't too sweet. I like the idea of bars because it's a smaller portion size for those of us (ie) me) who have a huge sweet tooth. They also sell other pastries (muffins, cinnamon buns, strudel type offerings they call jalousies, etc). I ordered an apple jalousie, it was alright, nothing mind blowing, but packed full of apples. The only downfall here is that the space is pretty small. Limited seating and the area where you stand and wait for your order is super cramped. Limited street parking. (good luck)

    Spicy chicken sandwich
    Melanie E.

    A busy place to visit if you're meeting a friend for coffee or having lunch with family. It was busy at lunch on a weekday. Our rating is below (5 is the highest) Service: 4 - if you're dining in, you'll get a number & they'll bring your food to the table. Ambience - 4 - nice casual contemporary café - I loved the couch & 2 chairs beside the gas fireplace. Maybe a challenge if you have more than 4 people dining in. Ideal for 2 people. It was busy. If you intend on dining in, you'll need to be here before the peak times. Food: 4 - If you love desserts & gooey cinnamon buns, go no further. There are lots of desserts (I counted over 36 kinds of dessert bars) & pastries. They have simple lunch items such as soup (only had one type of soup) & grilled sandwiches/paninis. If you like good quality coffee, they serve Illy. We had the tomato basil soup which I found a bit on the salty side. We shared the spicy chicken sandwich which wasn't too spicy. There wasn't much chicken inside and found it a bit dry. The sandwich was about $15. A nice local coffee place to visit whether you're in the Edgemont neighbourhood or enroute to Grouse Mountain. It's worth the detour. There's free street parking around the area.

    Wow! What a fabulous bakery with Illy coffee! Everything we had was exceptional. The service was excellent. The other customers all friendly!

    Latte+chocolate pistachio biscuit are not bad. The shaken iced tea It tastes like tea and tap water with a teaspoon of sugar.

    Hot chocolate fest
    Carmen H.

    HOT CHOCOLATE FEST IS BACK!! My partner and I are usually not too big of a hot chocolate fan, but we heard that this is infused with Earl grey tea. You bet we went to get one! We loved every part of this drink, it wasn't overly sweet as it's made with dark chocolate. The Earl grey flavour worked so well, it was like a london fog hot chocolate. As the truffle melted into the drink, it was so creamy and it also added a hint of sweetness. You can totally tell that it was some high quality truffle! Even the whip cream was delicious, it was so light and fresh. Go try this before it ends! We also got their mocha and it's so good! Perfect balance of sweetness and espresso, we'll definitely be back to try their baked goodies and more! Available from: JAN 16 - FEB 14 Hot chocolate fest: $6

    Good selection of pastries and dessert bars. Can get your coffee fix here too (matcha latte anyone?). We got the chocolate almond pastry and the cherry turnover. While both were good I'd recommend the chocolate almond pastry as I don't think you can get that anywhere. Good environment to enjoy a cup of coffee with someone! They also have a couch and chairs to lounge on. There's seating outside as well.

    Fruity! cake
    Jurn L.

    Two weeks ago, I ordered a Red Velvet cake from BjornBar Bakery for a birthday celebration for two. This was my first time ordering.. and the cake was so good! It got devoured by everyone at the birthday, and several went for seconds (including me). Even fiancé liked it, and he's not much of a dessert person. When going to pick up the cake itself, their pastries looked amazing! I was tempted, but had to save my stomach for the birthday celebration. I liked the Red Velvet cake so much that I ordered this Fruity! (strawberry) cake the following weekend. We had a small family gathering for my nephew's 1st birthday on Sunday, and we decided to also surprise my sister with cake too, since her actual birthday was only a few days later. This cake was delicious as well.. a vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream frosting. If you like a light, fruity cake.. this is it. You can choose from other fruits as well. Seriously, look at them layers in the cake.. wow! Highly recommend! Will definitely be visiting again to try their pastries (and perhaps another cake in the future).

I was intrigued by the location even before I came here in person as I could see on the map that it was in a residential area, away from main streets and other commercial businesses. There was only one lady working here (Monika). I came here with my mom. She ordered a Chai Latte and I ordered a Matcha Latte. Our drinks came out fairly quickly but we had to wait quite awhile for our food. We had each ordered a slice of quiche with a bowl of Potato & Leek soup. Monika realized we had waited quite awhile for our food and brought us a chunk of carrot cake on the house to make up for the long wait. She said this cake was their bestseller. No room to eat the cake as tummy space was already taken up by quiche and soup, so we brought the cake home. The cake was quite good indeed and I enjoyed the quiche as well. Drinks and soup could have been better. I would have preferred my Matcha Latte to have been sweeter and my mom felt her Chai Latte was a bit too sweet for her. I think this place has potential and perhaps might do better with a bit more help. It's a charming space in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I do hope there will be more staff working here eventually. Kinda sounded like Monika had taken over this shop not too long ago so...guess it's in a bit of a transitional stage.
