It had a cheesecake-like base layer topped with chocolate ganache and a chocolate short crust. The berries on top were all carefully picked - perfect in shape, all deliciously sweet, without any tartness. Loved the chocolate fish detail that paid homage to the area - what a thoughtful touch. Will def visit their storefront to try more of their treats. The ladies at the counter also lovely.

Their only saving grace is that they are in an industrial area that is difficult to get to, but there is a bus depot nearby. It's located south of the Ironwood Mall. Kinda near my other favourite place, Mama's Dumpling and Coffee. You have to come and try. They offer specials $5.99 for dessert and hot drink. It rotates with a different dessert and drink. They also offer a chocolate appreciation course for $35, hosted in their backroom. I just might try this out. See my pics. It's become a bit of a regular stop for me.

J Sweets is a much smaller version than the mighty Departo, but more expensive too. Still with the travel ban in place I am so happy to find such a place locally. We tried the mochi with various flavours. Apple pie flavour was very creative and fun. My favourite was sweet potato, hands down. The mochi exterior was so soft and gentle. Each flavour was intense and pronounced. Mixed with light whipped cream, each bite was heaven. Several fresh mochi stores have opened up nearby in Richmond. None of them compare to the quality of mochi from Japan. Mochi from this place is the genuine article directly from Japan. I will likely find myself coming here often. 4.5 stars.

I've been ordering and picking up baked goods and cakes from Little Fox for a few years now. They…read moreare located inside President Plaza in a stall on the ground floor. You will not find prices as good as these from any other French style bakeries. For example, $32 for a 6 inch cake is an absolute steal. Their baked goods range from $2.75-$6.75, which is significantly more fair than many bakeries I've been to in Vancouver. They have a seamless online ordering system and cakes can be ordered for pick up ahead of time. They have many varieties of cakes and baked goods, but some of my favourites are the matcha filled croissant and matcha black sesame opera cake. There is also a chocolate vegan option cake which tastes amazing considering there's no dairy or eggs in it. Would highly recommend this place for value and quality.

I've been to the bakery many times and i often find their products a hit and miss. This time i got a Hong Kong milk tea puff and a salted egg croissant. I don't know why I keep on buying their puffs everytime and end up disappointed. Normally i find their filling too little or other times they'd be too sweet. This time, the filling oozed out of the puff for some reason and onto the food court table. Needless to say i couldn't just scoop it back up and eat it. Was the puff not molded properly prior to baking? The salted egg croissant was extremely delicious though. The croissant flaky and buttery, which complemented the salted egg filling inside.

Excellent service, interior decor, but most of all, unique and awesome food. Some unique items include soft shell crab banh mi and salt and pepper squid - which was really good. Highlights: - mini crepes. They are done using this special pan made of 7 mini cupcake sized holes, it is so Insta worthy. They taste amazing too. Crunchy, excellent flavour, goes super well with fish sauce. - cha gio. Not too crunchy, just right. Excellent texture. - bun rieu. I love this crab meat tomato soup and they do a really good job of it. A big chunk of crab on top. - the pho was really good and the presentation second to none. - salads. They are all good, except the one with beef jerky was weird and too spicy. Overall this place is the bomb. Taste, looks, service - they got it all.

Also ordered some pastries: maple pecan brioche, Apple danish, fruit and custard danish, birdsnest, coconut macaroon, and can't remember the last thing, we ate it so fast. Everything was so good! Everything had a nice texture, not too rich or doughy. Well sized, so you can cut and share. Too bad we live too far away to frequent this place more often. I had my hands full with the cake box and all, so the cashier went out of her way to open the door for me! She had also pointed out the goodies on the shelf behind her which I wouldn't have noticed if she didn't. Just a couple of seats in front of the window so more of a take out place. Place is just lovely! Bring cash or debit only, no credit card.

I'm thoroughly impressed by Mr. Haas' background in the chocolatier profession, and it truly shows in his creations. I loved everything I tried when I visited both of their locations, one in Kitsilano and the other in West Vancouver. I also enjoyed their matcha latte, which I prefer to drink unsweetened. I'm already looking forward to visiting again when I return to Vancouver. This was one of my favorite experiences while visiting this lovely city. Even more amazing, if you're on a ketogenic lifestyle like me, their sugar-free chocolates are some of the best you'll ever have. No yucky aspartame. They taste amazing.

I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings....

It is more like a twisted churro creation but really good. I feel a place like this is the best of marrying western baking and Chinese themes. It is the kind of innovation I often saw in Hong Kong. In fact I think this place was founded by a HK based engineer who came over.
