Best almond croissant and best ham and cheese croissant probably in the lower mainland. On par with Thomas Haas. My older sister visited from Italy and wanted her daily almond croissant from there. She is still talking about those years later. How blessed we are to have them in our neighborhood read more

Good but pricey. How pricey? Individual pieces of cakes are $8 Chez Christophe $7.65 Remi Patisserie: $7.20 Thomas Haas: ~$7.50 The croissants? Similar pricing when you compare across the board. A bit more, but not by much $0.50 - $0.80 depending where you're comparing it to. I'll let you be the judge. They are in West Van, Dundarave area. It was worth a try for me. May as well use my cross city passport, since I rarely come into this area. The interior is pretty small 10-15 people max seating, and it gets loud. Free parking on the streets. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy. There was some seating although most of it was outdoors. We ordered the yuzu matcha cake and did have to say it looked better than it tasted. There was an almond crumble at the bottom that was difficult to get it and we ended up just eating it separately. We also got 4 of their chocolates and although they were good, they were a bit pricey. During the month of December, they have a special deal going on every day so be sure to check that out! read more

I received their Chocolate Advent Calendar as a workplace gift for my department. The package was a beautiful colourful artsy box with individually packaged chocolate calendar boxes. The chocolates were delicious and not too sweet. Unfortunately, there were many exact duplicates for the type of chocolates (there were six salted caramels) which was rather disappointing because the photo on their website showed different chocolates for different dates for the Advent Calendar. Their salted caramel chocolates were the tiniest chocolates and their salty ball chocolates were all the same with caramel inside. read more

I have been wanting to come here since I saw my friend's pictures of the desserts. They looked very good. I finally made it and just in time for the Hot Chocolate Festival 2018 specialties too. I had the Tokyo Drift which was dark chocolate, yuzu marshmallow and black sesame. It was delicious. The marshmallow opened up like a flower with yuzu on the tip of the petals and the black sesame in the middle. You can smell the sesame with every sip. I really like this. The cake and tart we ordered were not as good. The lemon tart was marginally better after it sat there for a while. It was very cold and hard when first served. The crust could be better though. The dark chocolate cake looked better than it tasted. It was a bit dry and the filling was not as fine as other places. I have not try many patisseries in Vancouver yet but so far I think Thierry is still the best. It is much like what you get from a typical French patisserie. The croissants looked very good too and I saw people buying them in boxes so maybe that would be a better choice than the cakes. read more

A great place for coffee and a treat after a walk on the sea wall. Located on Marine Drive in Dundarave. Seating can be too cosy on a busy day. They offer assorted croissants (my fav is the almond croissant), cakes, pastries, sandwiches, etc. You can place corporate orders for special cakes and chocolates. They are open 8 am - 5 pm from Monday to Sunday. Service is friendly. Great ambience. read more

Temper Chocolate Pasty is located at West Vancouver. I have to make trip all the way to find this gem! I finally made it to Temper! What a big achievement! It's worth-the-trip destinations coz you will fall in love with the pasties and Dundarave neighborhood. The desserts are delicious but the portion just a bit smaller than I expected. That's ok. So I bought few different desserts to share with my foodie buddy. We're so lucky to meet Steven and would be eye candy to us. LOL read more

This is my favorite place to have a coffee and real croissant in town! The people are so happy and welcoming! Going there for afternoon tea or brunch is great, I feel like home (Paris, France) but with a nicer service! The chocolate box is to die for. I usually go there about 4 times a week to work or relax with friends! I really like the glass kitchen, where you can see how clean and organize it's and everyone working on their new creations. read more

We love this place! The pastry are top notch! We love to go and get our pastries on the weekend. They have nice selections of the sweet and savories croissants. The ham and cheese croissants are excellent specially when it was warmed up. The croissants have a nice shatters on the outside, and the inside is soft and buttery. They used to make the bacon and onion scrolls and that was super delicious, unfortunately I don't see it again in their regular offerings anymore. The laminated brioche was really nice and buttery, very soft, and just the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate selections are very good too. I love their fruit infused ones. The passion fruit was heavenly. The owner is super nice and takes his time to greet and talk to the customers. The only complaint I have is the parking spots. You need to be really early or park a little further away. And come early for the best selections of pastries, their ham and cheese croissants sold out very quickly. read more

Turmeric latte: it was a good amount of turmeric, but this isn't something I'd care to get again. Just wanted to try it. London Fog: this wasn't bad. There was less liquid in this than the other 2 drinks. The tea bag and foam took up most of the space. Matcha latte: I'm not a fan of matcha anything, but I did take a sip. Salted caramel cake: pretty good. Shared between 4 people, but the amount I had was just enough. Would care to eat more. Mango caramel: this was ok, again, shared between 4 people so I ate mine in one bite. read more

There were two student servers at the counter. One girl was great, whereas the other one...she couldn't stop complaining about the heat, when I called she ignored and, and when she did respond, she spoke very impatiently...it ruined the experience a bit, but the great desserts earned it back. Chez, improve your service because it's such an important local thing and only good for your store. Good luck! read more

Came here with my bf 2 years ago and we had a wonderful experience. We decided to come back here again because we were in the neighborhood and it is also one of our favorite places to go to in West Vancouver. In our previous visits, we had their specialty chocolates and their cakes but never their fresh pastries so we decided to try them. Pear, Peach + Almond Croissant - This was wonderful! Even though the sliced pears and peaches were canned, it wasn't too sweet especially eaten with the croissant. I wished there was an equal balance of the fruits because there was just one slice of the peach which my bf and I shared the croissant so we only got half of the peach each. I was surprised there was a layer of the almond paste on the bottom because the croissant had sliced up almonds sprinkled on top so I thought that would cover up the almond part of the pastry but I was wrong. The almond paste was sweet, smooth and creamy which went nicely with the fruits on top and the pastry. The sliced up almonds were fresh and crunchy, and provided a nice nutty taste. The pastry itself was flaky and crispy. (5/5) Ham + Cheese Croissant - This was quite good as well even though I don't like ham. The pastry was also flaky and crispy, and it was also very buttery. The ham wasn't too salty which paired really nicely with the slice of cheese but the only issue was that there was just a thin slice of the ham and the cheese so it was a bit hollow on the inside. It would of also been good if we had it heated up so the cheese would melt in between. I liked that there was a good amount of crusted cheese on top so it would give the croissant a more cheesy taste and a nice crispy texture. (4/5) Overall, after our experience with their pastries, we have no complaints! Everything here is amazing! read more

Stopped here for morning coffee and breakfast. Way too over priced. Understand this is west van and the rent is high but $12-15 for a sandwich is a bit pushing it. The macchiato was a bit flat and the beans strong. The pastries though are amazing. read more

I've always wanted to try the cakes from Temper Pasty, but the location is a bit inaccessible for me since I live in the very south end of Richmond. Luckily for me, somebody from work brought in a large Mango Caramel cake the other day, which is exactly the flavour that I have been craving to try! Since everybody at my firm is quite skinny and health conscious, I actually ended up eating 2 slices for breakfast because it was just that good! Even though the cake is heavily layered with chocolate, caramel, and mango puree, it wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet as you think it would be. Everybody enjoyed it very much and I do wish to visit the shop in person someday. read more

This pastry place is so elegant and delicious. It is perfect for catching up over a treat with friends or a cozy date. It is also kid friendly. The prices reflect the excellent quality and the rich flavors allow for the smaller presentation to be just the right amount of sweet. The beautiful cakes and mini pies are light and the pie crusts are crispy. There is a small patio with umbrellas and they serve nice coffee to pair with their baked goods and chocolate. Reminds me if Thomas Haas in some ways and that is compliment. If you like cheese cake and lemon or lime tarts then try this place. I didn't have a chance to try their chocolates on their own but they looked really intriguing and now I have an excuse to go back! There is street parking all around to allow for easy access. read more

Temper Chocolate Pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Vancouver, British Columbia

Good baking lies in two things: the quality of the ingredients and the *care* that human hands put into each work of (edible!) art. Temper was recommended to me by a top chef in Vancouver and it did not disappoint! It is by and far the very best patisserie in the Vancouver area. Classics like the croissant, croissant aux amandes, and handmade chocolates are next-level delicious but their original concoctions are also a must-try. The "Charlie" is an indescribably perfect cinnamon flaky pastry concoction that might make you weep with joy. The service was welcoming, the décor tastefully minimal, and the location a stone's throw from the beach, will draw me here time and time again. I've read all the reviews here and so I cannot understand the negative ones, apart from attributing them to oddball, pedantic WestVan privileged folk. Temper is the best -- no contest whatsoever. None! read more

Great great great. Saw some negative reviews, and wanted to address them: Re service: I've been here about twenty times, and have had good experiences. They've never messed up my order. I'm fussy, and staff vary between "neutral" and "friendly" when I ask for my pastry to be heated, for instance, but they always do it and are never negative. Re croissants: I've been searching for the best croissant in the city for months--been to so many specialty patisseries, and Temper wins, for me. You need to get it heated, though, if you're not in, first thing. SO buttery, but not greasy, and quite a bit of yeasty tang, but not too much--just... perfect. The owner was working at his laptop, near the back one day, and I interrupted him to compliment him on the croissants. He happily answered my questions about his background (used to be head chef for Thomas Haas), how they did it and how many test batches they went through perfecting the croissant recipe. I think they spend more time and money on their croissants than anywhere in the city. Next time I went back he remembered me, and made a point of swinging by to shake my hand and wish me happy Easter. He seems like a great guy. I appreciated it. Chocolate-orange cookies are great. Desserts are great. Chai lattés are great. Patio is great. So happy this place exists. read more

Temper Pastry West Vancouver is a chocolatier and patisserie in the Dundarave neighborhood. White marble, cement and wood frame this quaint European style cafe. While the location is a tad far at times for us, it makes for a good drive and little getaway from the city. Aside from pastries, macarons and other baked goodies, Temper also offers a selection of savory sandwiches and soups. The perfect cute lunch spot! Almond Croissant: Flaky, crunchy, soft and tender center of a double almond croissant pairs perfectly with a hot Americano. Coconut Lime Tart: A good sweet to tart balance. Soft and creamy albeit the bottom crust was too hard. There are so many good pastries in Vancouver. We are so spoiled. read more

My boss highly recommended their croissants, so I made the trip over the bridge last weekend. While I can't say their croissants are worth the drive, I will say their chocolates are! Their one-bite liquid caramels are DIVINE, as are their passion fruit caramels. To me, a croissant is meant to have a crust that shatters, and a buttery rich inside. This croissant had neither. To be fair, I got it at 3 pm, and I'm sure it was sitting out all day...but I don't think that's an excuse. At Thomas Haas', they bake them throughout the day, so your chances of having a freshly baked croissant are good. It had potential, but failed in the final result. My friend had a pain au raisin that he was ambivalent about. The coffee was from Stumptown, and was very good. All in all, I think that if I were in the area, I would stop by for some chocolates and a coffee, but would give their pastries a miss. read more

Pastries and sandwiches are good (although pricey when compared to MANY good alternatives in the close area). Staff are really hopeless. Slow. Inefficient and 'lost' most of the time. Don't go if there are more than three people being served, unless you plan to wait a LONG time. read more

Some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Reminds me of the "nama choco" they make in Japan during the winter. Came to get some appreciation gifts to give my friend's roommates for letting me crash at their house for a few days, but after trying the samples I had to get my own stash too. As for the roommates, I'm now allowed to stay as long as I want read more

I like their Cheesecake and the Bailey's Tiramisu - you can taste the liquor in them. The taste of matcha for the Matcha Yuzu cake however, is light. The flavour can be stronger and less milky; the hazelnut crunch layer and the white chocolate base are fine - they are not that sweet. For a seem-to-be high class pastry shop, the employees need to be trained thoroughly and appropriately. First, the server should wear gloves to take out the cakes from the fridge because she was also the cashier. Second, one piece of cake was nearly fell onto the floor when she took it out from the fridge; she needed to use the other hand to catch it. Was the slice that heavy or was she unaware of the correct way to handle the cake? Third, she didn't tape the cheesecake properly; the cheesecake, which was in a separate box, touched the side of the box instead of being in the middle when I opened the box. Fourth, I asked for a plastic bag. She should know whether the two boxes would fit inside the plastic bag or not when she opened the bag without trying to squeeze the two boxes into the bag. It caused one of the boxes slide slightly to the side, and that probably was the box with the cheesecake. My standards are indeed high in regards to their price. Therefore, I won't return. read more

I love the pastries here but every time I have come here (usually with family), the staff was rude to us. One girl was in a bad mood as she kept banging dishes while emptying the dishwasher. The other girl looked like she was doing us a favour when taking our order. I'm just not sure if I want to put up with the rude staff anymore. read more

Good small cafe for a tea break and a dessert. The dessert was well made and tasted great. The tea was your standard loose leaf kind. No tea bag. If you like coffee, they have Stumptown Coffee from Oregon. The cafe latte is good. Free parking on marine drive. The only negative thing is they closes early at 5pm. Limited seating inside. read more

Cant say for cakes, but this place absolutely has the best croissant in West Vancouver

Unfortunately I decided to give this place another try ( this was a mistake on my part). I went to Temper last weekend. I ordered a latte. I wanted to order an Almond Croissants but I didn't see any on display. I asked the server if they have any Almond Croissants left and he responded that they have ran out of Almond Croissants for the day and will not be making any new one for the rest of the day since it was close to closing time. I stayed in Temper for an hour drinking my Luke warm latte and as I was about to leave, I saw that they had two Almond Croissants in display. I am so disappointed that the server had to lie about not having Almond Croissants when they evidently had Almond Croissants and told me otherwise. Not sure why they have to make things up but rest assured I will not be coming back to a place where they lie to their customers! read more

Ohh my goshhh!!!! It feels as if you are in paris. The place smells sweet. Everything, when i say everything,i mesn EVERYTHINGGGGGGG IS DELICIOUS. You need to go in a group of 20 hahahaah so you could try it all. read more

The atmosphere was classy, clean and quiet. A very nice, spacious outside patio with plenty of tables and chairs. The almond chocolate croissant was absolutely delicious and the best croissant I've ever had. My friend and I also enjoyed the lager beer. I was disappointed with the matcha cake. The appearance of the cake was amazing but the taste was not great and the crust was stuck to the paper underneath it. I would recommend coming here for the environment and the croissants! read more

Coconut croissants stayed crispy for two days -- croissants usually are listless shit after a few hours. I suspect they used glue but my tastebuds were like, no glue here dad. Friend brought them to the house, didn't have to go to West Vancouver, hence the super strong 5 stars. As my aunt always said, "once you go west, you're stuck until after 6 and god damn you'll be bored and depressed." read more

Nice location. I like the atmosphere. They have high end interior with fancy desserts. I had a cheese danish which was very tasty and worth the $4. Would recommend it for a lounging afternoon with friends or family. read more

They were out of their infamous double baked almond croissant so went for the chocolate/almond croissant. Flaky and flavourful- definitely up there with other great croissants from bakeries such as Thomas Haas and Beaucoup. Granted though, this croissant also broke the $5 barrier at $5.50. Also tried the hazelnut praline cake- this one was tasty! Crispy wafer-like layers between hazelnut filling. Not too sweet either. Yum! read more

Amazing pastries and fast/friendly service. Pistachio double baked almond croissant and orange cranberry scone is my favorite.

Iced latte is strong & pleasant. Love the pastries, hate the cakes. Tried the dark chocolate cake and tiramisu and both are way too sweet. The layers of cream are too dry. Pastries are delicious! The almond croissant rivals that of Thomas Haas but the winner for me is the Quiche Lorraine. The pastry crust is flaky and buttery while the egg custard filling is silky smooth. read more
