I enjoyed the coffee and matcha latte from Thierry two days in a row during my 4 mile walk with my…read morepup at Ambleside Park. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I could tell the latte was brewed using high-quality coffee beans, and my matcha latte had premium matcha powder. The dessert display was a treat for the senses. The decor was on point and elegant. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. They even offered a water bowl for my pup, and the patio was heated. I am planning to come back and enjoy my drinks again tomorrow.

We can also choose dark or milk. I chose whole milk chocolate version. Filling is male ganache. It was very smooth, rich texture and sweetness was perfect. Chocolate shell itself was thinner than I thought. This was a great FIFA world cup themed item and good for gift or for yourself to enjoy them.

Perhaps it was because it was rainy during those days but floor was not clean, the place was really busy so I can see how it may be hard to keep up with cleaning. Staff was fast with orders though. I can't believe I didn't take pictures of the sausage roll, I ate so many.

It's a smooth so I can enjoy every sip. Java not the only thing I grab. Morning times have great pasties freshly made , however their late night deserts taste devine and since open 24hrs you can last night binge on sugary delights. Now you can take treats to go however you can gather your thoughts or rest your feet cause plenty of tables & chairs for you to lounge around on. I'm at a counter spot today but yesterday I captured a small table in the window. Fun for watching ladies strut around while sipping my coffee.. Anyways you get the drift. You desire great coffee and local Vancouver vibe you come here. Anything else would be a waste of time.... LOVE YA BREKA KEEP IN REAL!

One of the go-to spots in DT Vancouver and in Richmond not just for their tasty waffles but their…read moredrinks too. While it's small and quite unassuming, it's a place you don't want to miss if you're in the mood for dessert. As some have mentioned, their Portuguese egg waffles are da bomb and a must-try. I've also had their salted egg and black sesame ones which are also very good. The one thing that people do not mention much are their drinks. Their standard Hong Kong hot milk tea is rich and creamy. For something very different, I would recommend that you try their iced Ribena sparkling coffee. It sounds weird (black currant juice plus coffee and sparkling water) but the combination of flavors and soda just works so well. Who would have guessed? Depending on the time you go, the wait time can be 10-20 minutes as the bubble waffles are made to order and sometimes it gets busy. However, I think the wait is worth it :)

Paul Bakery is a dual entity since they have quick dining service and they have a full service "restaurant area". I really appreciated how early their doors open since we needed to go about our day bright and early. We were probably the third customers there and it was super mellow; however, by the time we left though, it was quite popular! Opted to sit down and work on my laptop while getting a bite and it was such a pleasant moment. Staff was friendly and those pastries looked so good. I had opted for their french toast and was in awe and just how easy it was to slice through. Literally felt like a warm knife passing through butter. The music was lively but not overwhelming. Had the chance to be there for about 75-120 minutes and it was all so pleasant. Highly recommend!

Went in during lunch time but since we had a big breakfast we just went for some pastries and coffees, one thing we noticed is that they are a bit understaffed and the ones that was on duty had to take orders, make coffees, clean tables, and serve meals!

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.
