Croissants and coffee
Marta B.

We go to La La Island often as we live nearby and really enjoy their croissants and coffee. The space is great as it has lota of tablea and the staff is always friendly. In the afternoon it gets pretty busy with people with their computers but if you go early, you should be ok.

A spacious bakery just opened up along the west Broadway corridor. There were many selections of fresh baked danishes - strawberry, raspberry, kiwi - but we opted for the mango danish. Fruit was ripe and it taste just right, not too sweet. Only ask would be for a tad more flaky/crunch. We also had the double baked almond croissant. Perfect in every way - texture, taste and aroma. Wow! The filling was still warm and oozing so beware not to eat it over your best summer whites! They also made decent cappuccino and mocha. The space was super chill and not confining. Occupying a lovely street corner it should receive ample foot traffic and opportunities for those "happen chance" meet ups. Overall 4.5 stars on opening month.

One of my all-time favourite activities is discovering new local cafes. This time around I had 2.5 hours to kill in Kitsilano so I decided to do a quick Google search for local cafes and I ended up visiting LA LA Island. This is a super cute cafe located on West Broadway and is a 5-minute drive from Kits Beach. What I love about this cafe was that they had a variety of seating areas. I went at 11am on a weekday so there was plenty of seating available. I asked one of the ladies who was working there to surprise me and pick a cold drink and a savoury treat for me....she picked half-sweet iced matcha latte w/ skim milk and Ham & Cheese Croissant. Both were 10/10. The ham and cheese croissant was the best ham and cheese croissant I've had in Vancouver! 12oz Iced Matcha Latte $5.00 Ham & Cheese croissant $5.25

Be sure to visit this unassuming cute little Asian bakery cafe. The flavours are unique. No bubble tea here. The ham and cheese crossaint is not only perfectly baked but has a clever hint of spice and Sesame seeds that makes it quite different and delicious. Yummy iced tea flavours round out their summer menu. Service is friendly and fast. I'll be back when I'm in the neighborhood again.

As soon as we walked in we conjectured this must have been a produce store previously- which we confirmed to be true. Virtually nothing has been done to convert it to a coffee shop other than to bring in some bulky and somewhat uncomfortable tables and chairs. Maybe this was done on purpose to achieve a certain look but not sure it worked. Coffee was ok but a little weak and not too flavourful. Banana muffin was quite good, cinnamon danish was also good but seemed as if was mostly air. Service was friendly both at the counter and coffee bar. Condiment area was small and hard to find a spot to put coffee down while preparing. Overall not a bad coffee shop but it could be better if they increased the number of baked goods and created a more welcoming environment.

Both their pastries and their drinks are really amazing. I got the strawberry matcha latte, and the flavor was great without being overly sweet

I ordered the 6 inch mango cake for my sister's birthday and it was absolutely worth it! The cake…read morewas light, fresh, and full of delicious mango flavour without being overly sweet. 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.

Excellent bakery and cafe with delectable baked goods especially…read more We tried the following for Croissant Crawl and they were all excellent. - mushroom tart - really great flavour, very crispy and crunch on the outside - strawberry croissant tart - this is so beautiful you don't even want to break into it to eat it, but the fruit is wonderful and fresh, the pastry very crispy and crunchy, amazing texture and as a package it is awesome - pistachio and mango cruffins - these are good as well. 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.

This place's aesthetic is really cute and the fruit-shaped desserts are probably the biggest draw…read more They are so unique and honestly look almost too pretty to eat. 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.

Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. 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!
