Only downside is this place is all the way in West Van! otherwise you'd catch me here every week!

How did I only just discover this place? These are easily some of the best cream puffs I've ever…read morehad. On my first visit, I wasn't sure what the Zaku Zaku cream puff was, so the staff kindly let me try a sample. I was sold immediately. The custard was light and creamy, and the choux was perfectly crisp on the outside. The flavor brought me right back to a cream puff I had years ago in Saitama. It was such a familiar taste, and I hadn't been able to find it again until now. I'm so happy I found it here. I came back the following week, but unfortunately most of the popular items were already sold out. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. I might even get my birthday cake from here this year!

Our daughter has recently gotten into Tiramisu so she requested Tiramisu for her birthday cake…read more This was pretty exciting for me cuz it's been several years now of her only ever wanting an ice cream cake for her birthday. It's been a few years since the last time we had a non ice cream cake for her birthday. I had fun researching online where to buy her Tiramisu cake from. Looked at sizes, shapes, prices....etc. Finally settled on this Tiramisu cake from Patisserie Le Pont. Awesome choice! Very very happy with this Tiramisu cake. The coffee flavor was very strong and the sweetness level was nicely balanced. A lot of other places made their Tiramisu cakes very fancy looking. This one had the more simple, traditional look which I preferred. It also made it easier to slice and share. The one thing that could have been better...there was so much coffee in this Tiramisu that it seemed to somehow spill out of the cake and onto the cake board. This made things a bit messy. I had to search for a platter in the kitchen that would be big enough to hold the cake on the cake board as the board was too messy for us to lay it straight onto the table. Love that it was loaded with coffee, but it was possibly a bit too much or else some new method needs to be found for keeping the coffee from spilling out and making things messy. Highly highly recommend this Tiramisu cake. It was sooooo good!

It's not as crispy as some others but light and uniquely wonderful. I definitely want to come back to try their other croissants. I also had a Koughn Aman. Their take is slightly different. It has a very sweet glaze on top but is not really crispy like most other bakeries do it. I like it though I might slightly prefer the way other places do it. Overall amazing pastries.

retail therapy can be hard work, so much so, that i needed a coffee break…read more lucky for me, angus t was nearby. with so many pastry choices, i decided on the the double baked almond croissant. it had a buttery, golden brown exterior, slightly crisp but not so flaky. the filling was a sweet, almost velvety frangipane, rich with nutty flavour of almonds and just the right level of sweetness to balance the pastry, but contrary to the sign, the chocolate was missing, and the slivered almonds on top were not toasted. the croissant itself was slightly caramelized, and had a chewy texture. my latte with oat milk was smooth, and beautifully showcased the barista's skill with a heart design, it was exactly what i needed, at that time, to continue on with my day.

Best ham ever. Not salty and complex flavours, meaty. Too bad can't buy this anywhere unless imported. The French Onion Soup was well balanced. Rich, savory, the aroma draws you in, offset by the warmth from the spice. It is a soup that you can never get enough of. This was done very well. Duck Leg Cassoulet Stew had a great texture and flavour profile. Would have been nice if there is toast or baguette to go with it. Only criticism is it is awfully small for a main dish. And the duck leg is only half of what we normally get from a duck confit. Which was surprising.

I was feeling the effects of the cold weather so when I found myself at Park Royal food court for…read morelunch with my mom, I decided to pick a food stall where I could get a hot drink to go with my meal. This led me to Tim Hortons. I ordered a Simply Cheese flatbread pizza along with a Chai Latte. Apparently the Chai Latte is a new item on their menu. If I recall correctly, the Tim Hortons Flatbread pizzas got a lot of overall negative reviews when they first came out. I never understood that and after the one I had today, I still don't understand that. I think their flatbread pizza is actually quite good. Especially for a fast food joint that doesn't specialize in pizzas. Honestly, I've had worse pizza from places that were dedicated to servings pizzas. This Simply Cheese flatbread pizza was hot, crispy, had a generous amount of pizza sauce on it and the cheese was gooey with plenty of "cheese pull" to it. I found it very satisfying and wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The Chai Latte wasn't bad either; however, I did feel that it was a bit sweeter than it needed to be. Would have been nice to have been offered an option of adjusting the sweetness level like a lot of bubble tea places do. Slightly less sweet and I'd have bumped this review up to 4 stars instead of 3.

However, this Park Royal South location in the food court is the only way to fill you favorite Tim's cravings for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in West Vancouver! === 2. FOOD On this day, I got something quick; a Breakfast Sandwich Combo ($5.69) with the signature egg, sausage, and cheese in an English muffin, accompanied by a Poppy Seed Lemon loaf ($0.40 upcharge) and a milk. All tasted as well as they do in other Tim's locations, and more importantly, my baby seemed to like helping me eat it :) === 3. SERVICE & ENVIRONMENT It's in the Park Royal South food court, which means it's big, open, spacious and quiet in the mornings, but busy at lunch. Wheelchairs and strollers naturally have the space to fit here. The service was as expected as takeout service goes at a Tim's. Parking is as plentiful as it gets in the Park Royal parking lots.
