    Gooey Cinnamon Buns!
    Vasso I.

    I was lucky enough to win a 6-pack of cinnamon buns from a Valentine's Giveaway on Instagram, and the moment I walked into Grounds for Coffee, I was hit with the most amazing sweet cinnamon smell. I LOVE cinnamon, so I was already in heaven. They gave me a huge box of freshly made cinnamon buns topped with silky, sweet frosting -- and I love my buns extra sweet! One big bite and I was instantly in cinnamon bun heaven. The buns were soft, fresh, and packed with real brown sugar and cinnamon that ooze out in the best way. It's honestly so hard to find perfectly made, fresh cinnamon buns in the Lower Mainland, and I finally found my go-to spot. Thank you, Grounds for Coffee, for your generosity and love . You guys are the best! I'll definitely be back.

    Classic Vancouver cafe! Walls full of local art, cozy corners and tasty treats! Tried out the baked blueberry fritter and it was soooo tasty! Not too sweet, just the way I like it! Service was speedy and friendly even though it was packed inside.

    Just a little treat on a holiday for me. These cinnamon buns are worth the trip here. I used to visit the Alma location but now live near the drive so this is more convenient.

    Grounds For Coffee is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a cinnamon bun--no one does them better, and I'll die on that hill. This time, though, I decided to try something new and ordered the espresso chocolate banana muffin. It was fantastic! Honestly, everything I've tried here has been delicious, so you really can't go wrong with any choice. The space itself offers a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done on your laptop while enjoying your coffee and pastry.

    Blended berry lemonade with blueberries.

    Spacious, bright, community-oriented coffee house with some great-looking baked goods. I stopped in here for a cold drink and opted for one of their summer specials: a blended berry lemonade. I got to pick what berry I wanted - blueberries - and they actually used real fruit. The drink was refreshing and delicious. I sat around for a while to savour it and charge my phone.

    It was super easy to order online through their app ahead of time and go into the store to pick-up! The staff are friendly and efficient, and it was vibrant and bustling on a weekday afternoon. I ordered a cinnamon bun and it is SO delicious. It's fluffy, soft, chewy at the same time, full of cinnamon flavour, and slathered with that delectable cream cheese. A perfect treat to share. Or eat by yourself. Yum!!

    It was blueberry season, and I lucked out and went on the last day they offered the blueberry cinnamon bun. Absolutely delicious that I went back for seconds.

    You can never go wrong with a cinnamon roll from Grounds. This has to be the best cinnamon roll in Vancouver. Perfectly soft, chewy, right amount of sweetness, warm if you have it in the cafe and you just want to lick the plate clean. The cafe itself is always a cozy place to catch up with a friend, do some laptop work or read a book. The staff at the counter are always friendly and great service all around.

    As soon as I went into the cafe, I was instantly enveloped by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cinnamon buns. Because I was in a hurry for some nearby volunteer work, I only grabbed a cup of flat white and decided to save the cinnamon bun for post-task indulgence . The flat white was robust and blended with creamy milk. The cinnamon bun was a soft and fluffy delight, although a touch more frosting could have enhanced its flavor. The staff was exceptionally nice. I was having trouble with the app, and he was so patient trying to resolve the problem for me. Really appreciate his help !

    These cinnamon buns are the best! The consistency and ratio to the ooey gooey center is perfect with the icing !

    Smells like cinnamon goodness when you walk in. So sweet and perfect. The cinnamon buns are so good here - love the icing and texture. Definitely stop by if you're on commercial drive!

It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

Crunchy and the inside is flavourful. - cheese tart - I think this is my favourite. Really smooth and wonderful cheese, the crust is solid and crunchy but not too much. Just really wonderful. Would definitely come back.

I believe they were one of the first places in Vancouver to really bring these fruit-shaped desserts to the forefront, and then slowly everyone else started following the trend. The mango is definitely my favourite. It's light, fruity and refreshing and the white chocolate shell gives you that little crack when you bite into it. I tried the clementine/orange one as well and I would probably skip that one next time. It's mostly cream with not a ton of cake. The good news is that the mousse is pretty light, so even though there's a lot of it, it doesn't feel like an incredibly heavy dessert. The pastries and desserts are definitely more about the experience and presentation, although there are some really good options beyond the fruit ones too.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
