Have been wanting to try this spot ever since they opened in BC. I've even ordered a delivery for…read moremy loved ones in Toronto from Daan Go and they love this spot so I had high expectations. I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings....

A very innovative HK-meets-west bakery, with really well done traditional western pastries with…read moreinnovative themes (crab truffle croissant, matcha churro with caramel filling), plus creative cake interpretations of dim sum items. we bought a whole bunch of pastries and cakes and they were all really good, lots of great mango based fillings too. Highlights: - Bolo Bao (guava strawberry compote vanilla chiffon and passion fruit mango) and Siu Mai (mango compote passion fruit mousse yellow choco wrapper) - honey butter vanilla - a croissant with amazing filling - the "Cinnabon" is not the traditional Cinnabon. It is more like a twisted churro creation but really good. I feel a place like this is the best of marrying western baking and Chinese themes. It is the kind of innovation I often saw in Hong Kong. In fact I think this place was founded by a HK based engineer who came over.

I came after I saw recommendations for the fresh mango cake here online and was also recommended…read morethe pastries by a friend. I ordered a fresh mango cake the night before I needed it. It was very convenient, as some other places didn't allow such last minute orders! The cake was delicious, everyone enjoyed it! It was light, not too sweet and had a generous coating of mango. Would absolutely get it again! I also got a sugar cream bun which was also a delight, though I had expected it to have cream inside, but that was probably my own misunderstanding.

The owners are so nice and accommodating. I had the wrong date for a cake order and when I went to…read morepick it up I was too early. They graciously offered to make it on the spot. I came here because my niece had bought the same mango cake in the past and it was so fresh and delicious. And the price is so much more reasonable. The entire cake is covered in mango and the filling also had mango. And they use fresh cream. The place is unassuming and sparse and the wall is covered in photos of mostly wedding cakes sent in by the people who ordered here thanking the couple who made their a perfect with great cakes. I will definitely be coming back here to order a durian cake!

In the spirit of International Women's Day, I would like to leave a 5 star review for local bakery…read moreowner, Helen. Awesome foods -- I.e. very very yummy cake! Ordered an 8 inch fresh mango cake for $65 and it definitely delivered the WOW factor!! She made the cake fresh, on the day of pickup and it's truly one of the best fresh mango cake I have had. I was impressed at how the mangoes were so sweet and fresh and yes, all natural, with no sugar coating. And the cream on cake was excellent - fresh and luxurious feeling. I loved how the cream on cake did not overpower mangoes, perfect sweetness with very smooth texture, bringing out the mango fruity taste and pairs perfectly with the vanilla sponge cake which is light and fluffy. Everyone, from young pre-teen to old senior age, enjoyed this bday cake after dinner. The 8" cake was more than enough to share between our dinner party of 12 with various diet restrictions - some wanted bigger slice while some could only sample a taste of sugar and still other foodies like myself who hoarded a second slice lol. This cake was deserving of driving across town against rush hour Hastings traffic to pick up and Yan Bakery may become the only place I would go for fresh mango cakes in Vancouver. IMO, Helen's fresh mango cake was way way better than La Foret, Maxim, St Germaine's or T&T, just to name a few places where I have ordered mango cakes. I think Helen is a great bakery owner because cakes delivered met expectations. I can feel the baker's dedication at Yan's as each cake uses fresh ingredients and made to order. My other favorite cake would be the Raspberry Chantilly Cake from Whole Foods, though pre-made, that cake also shares same success elements of awesome fresh cake ingredients and impeccable tasting cream. No ambiance factor to comment because this is a bakery dedicated to making custom cake orders for birthday or weddings so there is no fancy decor in shop. I didn't find other baked goods sold here and no dine-in option for coffee. Located in a strip mall so there's free parking available when picking up cakes...convenient and free parking is always a plus in Vancouver! All in all, Helen is a good business owner with great attention to detail, she and her husband makes a good team in ensuring cakes are prepared well and ready for on time pickup - granting them 5 stars for both food and service.

This place is well known for its mille crepe cakes, and we can see why. The cake was light, soft, and beautifully layered with what looked like 30+ thin layers. They offer 15+ flavours, including durian, mango, matcha, pistachio, and tiramisu, so there are plenty of options. We liked that the cake was not too sweet, which made it easy to enjoy. It felt like a perfect dessert for a celebration with friends or family. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The service is a bit slow, but we think it is worth the wait since everything is freshly prepared. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would order again for another special occasion.

We tried both the matcha and pistachio crepe cake and I found the pistachio to have a nicer flavor. Someone had the durian slush and they loved it. If you love durian, it's a must try as it packed a strong smell! The mango fruit was fresh but there were annoying fruit flies buzzing around. Another had the mango with taro mochi ice dessert. The mochi was delicious. Overall we found the prices to on the higher end. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice clean place with plenty of seating. It looked new. It was nice to see some of their cakes in the window but the selection was limited. There was seating available without a time limit. Service: 4/5 - you choose your seat and a server comes over to take your order. You pay when you leave. Note: they only accept credit card payments over $20 otherwise it's cash. Luckily a friend paid on my behalf. Parking: paid parking is available out front.

The majority of their breads taste great, and this time, I discovered some new items! I got a purple rice loaf, chocolate swirl loaf, and molten matcha bread. They also had a purple yam loaf, which made it hard to choose. The Molten Matcha bread had matcha cream inside with matcha-colored bread. The texture was soft, and the cream wasn't too sweet - very good. The Chocolate Swirl loaf had a fluffy and soft texture. The chocolate swirl wasn't overwhelming, but it was still pretty good. The standout item was the Purple Rice loaf. The purple rice was kneaded inside the bread, and it was absolutely delicious - packed with filling and great flavor. Overall, I liked all the loaves. I highly recommend this bakery for their breads, cookies, and other items!

The interior feels relaxing and the seats were comfortable. We booked the afternoon tea ahead of time, and it was $68 per person. The set was gorgeous! The presentation had this beautiful forest vibe. There was a mix of sweet and savoury bites, including miso sablefish, chicken skewers, salmon aburi oshi and more. It turns out they have brunch as well! We were saying maybe we should come back and try their brunch next time... but we really loved the desserts and scones here, so I guess it might be afternoon tea again. I faintly remembered that there was only like one water refill at the Parq location but it's unlimited here. My friend and I were like that's a good change. There are some free street parking available down the street.

Reservation: I made a reservation a few days in advance for afternoon tea. The booking process is available on their website and was very easy to navigate. Food: It was also Chinese New Year, so their afternoon tea featured some CNY-inspired savory items presented in a bamboo steamer, along with a yuan bao-shaped dessert. Both the savory and sweet selections were delicious and beautifully presented. I've compared Yandoux Patisserie with a few other afternoon tea menus, and I found that they offer more thoughtfully designed, higher-quality items such as beef tartare, salmon oshi, and truffle mushroom crostini. I especially liked that they only serve one scone, so you're not too stuffed to fully enjoy the sweet items. The staff also informed me that their chef change out the menu regularly based on occasion or season. So you won't be getting the same menu every time! Pricing: The set was $59 per person, plus tax and tip. For the quality they offer, I think it's absolutely worth it and comparable to hotel afternoon tea experiences I've had in the past. Customer Service: The staff was very attentive and friendly. They answered all of our questions and reviewed the menu with us to confirm our afternoon tea set. Once the tea set arrived, the staff explained each item and the suggested order for enjoying them. They also regularly refilled hot water in our teapot throughout the meal. Ambiance: Since it was Valentine's Day, the staff decorated the table with fresh rose petals. They even gave me a single rose stem at the end of the meal, which was such a sweet touch. The entire space is very clean, cute, and perfect for afternoon tea. Yandoux Patisserie is located in a building with a parking garage. Parking was about $1 per hour, which was very reasonable. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in town next!!
