Expensive, but the baked goods are oh so good! Service is friendly, and it has a warm, neighborhood feel.

A cozy little surprise with a great selection of pastries. Nice place to relax and read.read more

What a lovely little café/bakery! Emphasis on lovely, and emphasis on little…read more I met a friend here today for a coffee. She lives in the area so has been here many times before. She said the cakes are wonderful and she orders them here for special occasions. Of course, it was all new to me, so I checked out the display of gorgeous cakes and tarts, and the platters of various cookies and pastries, too. The cakes seemed to be priced from $35-50, which I know is on a par with cake pricing in the city. They all looked beautiful. The small tarts looked to-die-for, but they were $9. That's a lot more than the tarts I've seen anywhere else, really, so I steered away from those. I got a croissant for $4 and a chai latte for $4.50. The croissant was ok. Not the fluffiest I've ever had, but okay. The chai latte was fantastic, one of the best I've had, really. And at the cash they had a plate of gold foiled-covered large homemade caramels, and I got two. Just had one just now and OMG, if you like caramel (as I do), you MUST try these. Truly unbelievably good! As I mentioned in my first paragraph, this place is quite tiny. Like, they had three small tables that seat two people each. (Maybe four, but I think three). So if you plan on meeting a friend for coffee here and dining inside, I'd recommend going at an off-time, for sure. (If it's nice out, there'd be some seating outside. But hey, winter is upon us). One added benefit here: there is plenty of free street parking, all around the cafe. Nice!

My favorite season has arrived -- the Vancouver Croissant Crawl Festival! I visited VIVA cafe…read more What I got: Sweet and Salty Cream Cheese Filling Croissant Cream cheese and chopped green onion and bacon bits. The sweetness of honey and cheddar cheese powder makes it taste more cheesy. The filling was so delicious! Cream cheese and green onion paired so well and taste was so memorable. It was more savory flavor which I really liked. Dough was not usual croissant dough, it had a crispy layer dough and it was different from other vendors. It was really good. One of the best item in croissant festival. I want to get it again. Hopefully, they offer this item after the festival. Highly recommend.

It's a decent place to get a latte and a croissant…read more My boyfriend was happy with his decaf latte and I thought my hojicha latte was just ok - the latter was a bit watery and lacked depth. We ordered a pain aux raisins which was above average although the raisins were scarce, and it needed a bit of salt in the dough to round out the flavours. The chocolate croissant was exemplary; we enjoyed its flaky, crisp layers studded with beautifully rich chocolate, right down to the last crumb. The cafe's interior is spartan in appearance with limited seating: a small communal table and a few tables for two. There's a nice outdoor patio in front for warmer days. 3.5 stars.
