    Banana Walnut Loaf
    Dianne C.

    I've heard of Panne Rico as I had a girlfriend who was a celiac. But as Im not analphaltic from eating dairy although it does sound like it when I have bronchitis as I'll cough non-stop for 8 hrs, I haven't made my way here. But being inspired to write a blog about fabulous dairy-free alternatives, this seemed like a place worth investigation. Although I prefer almond milk, they do lattes with rice milk which probably suits more of their clientele who might be allergenic to some form of nuts. Their baked goods aren't made with wheat but rice flour so usually don't have the same lightness and could possible be more dense, athough I didn't try everything as I can eat wheat. Chocolate Utopia - dairy free- even sans diary allergy this is a decadent tasting moist brownie with nuts, cranberry and rum and then dipped in chocolate. It was so good I bought one for breakfast another day Most of their muffins are dairy free. The best which I found was less dense was the carrot which they make with or without cream cheese. It was as delicious as any ones I've tasted with flour. Banana walnut wasn't bad but a little dense, but the flavor was there. White chocolate raspberry was too dense for my liking. Although it's a tiny cafe they offer a big variery of other baked goods such as cookies, macaroons, pies, scones, daily lunch menu, squares, etc. It was apparent while I was enjoying my dairy-free indulgences, that Panne Rico has an established base of regulars as a continual flow of people came through, many buying 2-3 dozen of their favorite baked goods. They do custom baking and apparently keep a log of customer's allergies for future reference as I overheard the cashier tell a customer that the baker would know what his daughter could have. Not all goods are dairy free, but they do have a large selection and if you're a celiac well thus is wheat-free heaven. As for me, I'm heading straight for the Chocolate Utopia

    The little bakery that could. That could what, you ask? That could bring joy into the lives of gluten and dairy free peep's like me, for one thing. Today I had the very best carrot muffin I've had to date since being on the Celiac diet. Like a slice of real carrot cake it was. And there is also a chocolate one. I don't know what the rules are that determine what is a muffin and what is a cupcake, and I know I made a promise to myself not to indulge on cupcakes for a while. But when I spotted that beautiful "muffin" -and yes, it did have frosting on it., I lost control of my sensibilities once again. And the best and worst part is that low price. 2.85 --no way!... get outa here! Their chickpea rolls are still the best, which you can buy fresh or frozen, and now they also have cinnamon rolls and dairy free brownies. I could spend my last dollar in there trying one of everything. Fortunately for me I live on the other side of town. Addendum: The new bread they have, ("Sunrice") is insanely good. It's not dry, it's moist and springy like 'real' bread, only way more nutritious. Best non gluten, non dairy bread I've had in over 3 years. WOW. the only draw back for me is the price, 6.99 -eek! but a woman's gotta eat.

They have quite a selection of other fancy petite cakes, tarts and cookie. The staff are very knowledgeable and courteous. They are patient when you feeling indecisive. My latest favorite is the lemon scroll. The ambiance is mostly take out since seating is limited at the Fir St location and there is no seating at their downtown bakery cafe. Coffee and tea selections available. Price is reasonable for the excellent quality and the generous size of some of their pastries. Their goodies sell out fast at the downtown location.

The concept and stunning visuals completely blew my mind and I knew I had to come by to try this dessert. Their hours are a bit limited as they close at 5pm even on weekends. Luckily, I was passing by in downtown and quickly ran in to grab a couple sandwiches. They were rock solid when the cashier passed them to me, which was perfect as I had to make the trek back to the car before I could unwrap and try it. The sandwich is on the smaller end so I made sure to cherish the $25 I had spent on 2 sandwiches. The inside featured a creamy basil ice cream with frozen strawberries. The strawberries were a bit icy but the cream balanced it out and it was not too sweet. And of course, who wouldn't love a biscoff ice cream sandwich? The basil flavour was unique and interesting and I was glad I got to try this delicious creation. I probably wouldn't have it again, but it is definitely worth a try! The French bakery is also really cute inside, so I do want to come back to experience and in-café experience - maybe at a different location with more parking.

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.

Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff.

The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite!

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!
