The ambiance instead was quaint with limiting seating We got the last rhubarb tart to try and ofc a pain au chocolat! The rhubarb tart was more fibrous than I anticipated but I enjoyed the lemony mousse under it though my taste buds were a bit confused by what might've been a date jam base (a structurally complex treat!) Though the pain au chocolat was executed well so I'd recommend that if you're in the area

A warm, sunny afternoon took us to Gabi & Jules, and I'm so happy we made it. Lisa helped us and…read morewas incredibly friendly -- I truly can't say enough good things about how sweet everyone here is. We ordered the Blueberry Earl Grey Dessert Bar and the Strawberry Rhubarb Sweet Crostata, both of which were beautifully balanced and not overly sweet. To drink, we sipped on Burnaby Fog tea lattes, which felt cozy and comforting despite the sunshine. It had a very relaxed, afternoon-tea kind of vibe -- quiet, unhurried, and perfect for lingering. There isn't a ton of seating inside, but the outdoor patio had plenty of space and was a lovely spot to enjoy the weather. Such a sweet way to spend the afternoon, and I can't wait to visit again.

It was extremely difficult for me to decide what to get, so I got their strawberry rhubarb crostata…read moreand cinnamon bun coffee cake. They didn't stinge out on the filling in the crostata and it wasn't overly sweet or tart. The puff dough was amazingly buttery and flaky. The cinnamon bun coffee cake literally tasted like it's name. The topping was truly reminiscent of a cinnamon bun and I loved it. The coffee cake itself was nice and moist.

First time here, and I must say it's a small and cozy spot. I love that they offer both indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating. I asked the server/barista what the popular savoury items are to try. She recommended: Rosemary garlic pull-apart, and that was REALLY GOOD. Definitely a 5/5. French onion pull-apart, 4/5. Fig, brie, and prosciutto croissant, 4/5 (wife's favourite). Croque monsieur, 4/5 (kids' favourite). I also ordered an oat milk latte with vanilla syrup, which was 5/5. Really good latte!!! They source their coffee beans from "Honest to Pete," located in Vancouver. A 1 lb bag costs $25, and I'm planning to pick one up on my next visit!

Vancouver Croissant crawl 2026 Mille-Feuilles Croissant…read moreMade with three layers of our classic croissant between two layers of silky pastry cream and vanilla bean whipped ganache. Topped with a honey-glazed croissant chip and sea salt. This croissant looked like a cake, however, it was a unique style special croissant, Mille Feuilles croissant. Mille Feuilles pastry itself had crispy texture which i really liked. Vanilla whipped ganache and pastry cream were not overly sweet, rich and creamy. Very delicious. And Honey Glazed croissant chip was so good! It had crunchy and buttery texture, I coould eat these chip non-stop. Overall I really enjoyed this item. It was very elegant and stylish style croissant. Very memorable. Service was excellent and friendly.

Maison Mori is my regular go to bakery. Since they opened, I don't know how many times I visited…read morehere. My favorite is Soboro chestnut cube, sweet potato cube, Shio pan, mugwort mochi bun, mochi mochi bread and roll cakes. Cube breads are excellent items. Dough is very soft and fillings are great, especially Soboro chestnut cube's small chestnut pieces and crunchy soboro topping makes it addictive. Shio pan is very buttery , one of the best in town. I also liked Mochi mochi bread which had very chewy texture like mochi, but this time, I felt the one I had in the past tasted better. However, Rich bread was very good. The dough is similar to brioche with very rich, buttery flavor. This one is definitely better than before. Overall, I really liked their products. Highly recommend if you have a chance to visit North road

I've been to Maison Mori many times and have purchased a variety of items, from cakes to Swiss…read morerolls to bread... Nothing really stood out in my mind. I've long heard about Korean salt bread and had been wanting to try. Maison mori offered a couple of salt bread selections. I didn't know which to get so I asked for recommendations. The staff wasn't helpful at all. "They're all good." She also said the bread is Korean style bread that is popular in Korea. Then I asked why use the Japanese word for salt, i.e. "shio". She then responded that the bread is Japanese style. Like, which is it? Korean or Japanese? After consulting Gemini AI, the two styles are fundamentally the same but the texture is different. Regardless of Japanese or Korean style, I got the original and black (squid ink). I honestly don't see what the hype is. It's essentially just butter roll with salt sprinkled on top. Lol.

My favorite season has arrived -- the Vancouver Croissant Crawl Festival! I visited Bjornbar bakery…read morein Burquitlam. What I got Banana Bread Croissant Flaky layers wrapped around rich banana bread, dark chocolate, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. I visit here very often, however, I haven't bought croissant for a while. This special item's dough was not buttery and crispy texture as before. It was a bit too light and airy. And Banana bread filling was very thin slice.. Not sure their patisserie chef or recipe has changed I can't judge based on only 1 croissant, I must try other croissant item to compare.

I got the Cheesy Bar, Fruity Bar, Lemon Meringue Bar, Mango Bar, Matcha Bar, Spumoni Bar, and…read morePistachio marzipan croissant. I love almond croissants and I also love marzipan. Unfortunately, its quite hard to find marzipan in the lower mainland. So you can imagine that I was quite excited when I saw they had one on the menu. At first glance the chocolate drizzle on top looked too little, but it was just the right amount. The all butter croissant was perfectly flaky. I heated mine up in the toaster oven for a few mins. The amount of filling that was inside amazed me. However, it would have been more enjoyable if it was more spread out, instead of a "log" of filling. Also, after warming up the pastry, the bottom was extremely oily. So oily that it was literally dripping. The meringue on the Lemon Meringue Bar was a bit deflated and dry. The lemon flavor wasn't overly powerful. The Mango Bar, mango flavor was very mild. I would have liked to taste something a bit more prominent. Also, I didnt like thay they added so much sugar to the Graham Cracker crust. The Spumoni Bar tasted mostly of coconut, but the bar was super flavorful and tasty. The Cheesy Bar cheesecake texture was nice and light. The Fruity Bar was very tasty. Although I wouldn't say that it tasted like strawberry. I liked the crunchy texture from the white chocolate covered rice krispies. I liked the Matcha it could have used a touch more matcha, but I know not everyone likes a super strong matcha flavor. My top picks would be SpumoniBar, Matcha, and Fruity Bar. However, I feel that all of the bars could use more flavor. Additionally, I would like to note the fantastic customer service that I received. I had a dog with me and she has major separation anxiety. One of the staff members noticed us and was kind enough to offer to watch the dog while I quickly ordered inside. I would rate the croissants 4.5 stars, the bars 3.8 stars and the customer service 5 stars.

I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The Apple Fritter is their most popular donut. First off, the donut is absolutely massive. I had to split this into two portions before finishing it. Secondly, the apple slices inside are large, but sliced thinly, so it was easy to bite into. I would have appreciated a touch more salt in this donut to help bring out all of it's flavors. Also, it seemed like this donut was only glazed on top. I personally prefer the whole donut to be glazed. Staff were friendly and patient as I was deciding what to get.

We had passed by Cake Ya many times and I'd always been curious about it. Finally I managed to go…read moreand check out this cute little shop. It is a small bakery with no seating area; they appear to be known for their Japanese style cakes and puddings. They also make some elegantly crafted confections called nerikiri which looked to be similar in texture to mochi. I decided to buy a few of their puddings to bring home and try with the family. Featured here: Royal Milk Tea Pudding Green Tea PuddingCoffee Pudding The puddings were quite creamy in texture. None of us cared for the Green Tea pudding. The Royal Milk Tea and Coffee puddings were very enjoyable though. I did personally feel that the Milk Tea flavor could have been a bit stronger but was still happy with it. Coffee flavor was very strong and was easily the best of the three flavors.  The nerikiri looked so lovely. I will have to go back and try some another time. I'd really like to try some of their cake too, since "cake" is after all part of the shop's name!

We communicated with them through email and they were always very prompt and clear in their responses. I wanted a very specific design for the cake and they definitely made it come to life. Everything was perfect! The cake wasn't in the best condition by the time we ate it at the wedding, but that was expected because we picked up the cake a day in advance and it sat on display during our wedding for a long time. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I still enjoyed it though :) Would definitely recommend them for any events!

This savory croissant was really delicious. It was served with sour cream and green onion. Staff advised me to warm up before eating. So, I used a small oven to warm up. The pasty dough was so flaky! I really loved the flaky, buttery texture. Potato filling was also good. I chose with bacon bits, I am glad I did it. it paired with potato filling and sour cream so well. I really enjoyed this savory item.

I couldn't pick just one pastry so went for four - ube croissant, kouign amann, ham and cheese, and the double baked almond croissant. First off, I have to say that all of their pastries had an excellent flaky crunch - light and airy, with every layer defined and crunchy. The inside was soft and not too chewy or dense at all. All of the pastries were like a dream - I finally understand the hype around croissants. If I had to pick a favourite, it would probably be the kouign amann - it was my first time trying this type of pastry and it won't be my last. I was very satisfied with my entire order at Elmo's and I'll be returning!

Baked with pistachio frangipane & filled with kataifi folded with pure pistachio paste & tahini, with milk chocolate rocher glaze. I discovered Elmo baking co when they had a pop up at Richmond location, long time ago. Then, I have always visited their pop up at other shop and I was so happy they opened their own shop. I usually liked their double baked items. This Pistachio Rocher croissant is based on Dubai chocolate. Dough was crispy. Chocolate glaze was very good. The filling Kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini - I prefer a bit more sweetness in it. The pistachio paste flavor dominated , if there were more sweetness , then, it might be more smoother to me . Overall , I enjoyed this item its unique flavor.
