We bought a few things from this little bakery and unfortunately, most of the items were a bit…read moredisappointing either because they weren't what we expected or were sweeter than we liked. We got the Key Lime Tart which was too heavy on the cream cheese with not enough citrus flavour making it taste more like a cheesecake than a tart. The almond apple tart had a lot of frangipane and a good tart crust but the apple part was missing. The carrot cake slice didnt have enough tang in the cream cheese frosting and the flavours of the cake fell flat. Their other baked goods were a bit better with the berry muffin being not too oily or sweet but a bit dry, the texture of the jalapeño and cheddar scone was fluffy and light but I could hardly taste any cheese. The veggie puff was the favourite being flavourful and light. We also grabbed a bag of their white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies (gf) and molasses cookies because they were day olds and half off and these were some of the better treats we tried from here. Overall, we had high expectations and were unfortunately let down by the treats at Sandy's.

Coming soon...Molly's Reach by Black Bean Cafe! I was a customer before at the old Molly's Reach, after having watched The Beachcombers on CBC television for many years, so I am very excited to hear this thrilling news. There's so much history behind this place! The owners wrote on their website: "We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us over the years and made the Black Bean Cafe feel like home. We can't wait to welcome you back and see all your familiar faces at Molly's Reach!" Thanks David and Becca for continuing your cafe legacy and preserving the iconic landmark on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast. We can't wait to see what you have in store for the new location!

The drive itself led us to an incredible bay that genuinely felt like we'd been transported to Alaska--calm, wild, and breathtaking--and then there was this cozy little gem waiting for us. Any place named after a dog and so welcoming to dogs instantly wins my heart. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even though the place was bustling with happy locals and travelers alike. Every pastry in the case looked beautiful and tempting, making it nearly impossible to choose. The coffee, though--absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what you want on a crisp morning adventure. Goldie's felt like one of those special finds you don't plan for but remember long after. If you're anywhere nearby, it's a must-stop.

We learned about this cereal with the crazy name while on vacation in the Sunshine Coast and stopped to check out the store. Unfortunately, it was closed. We ended up buying some cereal at a bakery the next day and have really liked it. It's gluten free, non-GMO, kosher, organic and made mainly from chia seeds.

Right next to Backcountry I have bought many treats from here (as you can see this is a bakery) and the place is great. Whether you need a light snack, like a healthy cookie, or something a bit bigger, like a sandwich, this place has you covered. One of my favorites is the pretzel they make, it is so good, and I just want to rip it apart every time I have it and I am driving away, I think... maybe I should have gotten an extra one. They serve coffee here as well, and sell loaf's of bread. The staff is great here as well, no seating inside, this is a place where you will occasionally line up, but it moves along fast, and it is so worth your while when you are here in Squamish.

The bars come as milk or dark chocolate with dried fruits and nuts pressed into them or just nuts or biscuit pearls or are sprinkled with sea salt. As someone who cannot digest dairy, it was wonderful to see that the dark chocolate bars are vegan and contain no dairy. We also had a chance to chat with the friendly owner and it was a great experience. A few weeks ago we visited Squamish again and were happy to see that the chocolate bars still look amazing. We bought a bunch of bars and now have a decent stash to last for a while and to give as gifts. Though it's hard to moderate when the bars taste so good. Thank you, Xoco Chocolate!

The dark chocolate bars with roasted nuts and dried fruits is one of favorites. The quality of the dark chocolate is very good and the bars taste as good as they look. The dark chocolate is vegan.
