    a slice of cake and a cup of coffee
    Valdas V.

    Good coffee, and delicious treats. Service is also nice and friendly. Place is spacious, and nice. Nothing bad to say. Other than a bit pricey.

    True confections make me confess that i love

    So this store opened its door in 1889 and its family owned. Its Gem of a place and has two locations. For sure denman street cafe is more chic and cosy compared to casual ambience of broadway one. Either ways the Café s are adorable. With no line up to wait, the moment we stepped in , we were sitting in the busy,wondrously aromatic restaurant. sorry sweet aromatherapy place. Lol I mean really, my eyes ogle out looking at the sweet n smelling all sweet in there. Good choices on thr menu. So u can pick a whole pound or two or more cake or a slice coupled with a drink. Hot , cold or alcoholic so for me its "baileys" . With my coconut pastry slice and a warm cup of baileys with milk in it - n i was in heaven. omg too yummy and blasts of tastes . So full , so spongy and so sweet cakes but too irresistible. I really need to go again as i didnt eat much first time. Moreover i have to flaunt this place among couple of my other foodie friends . Afterall my true confessions might happen in 'True Confections ' lovely and interesting

    We've had cake and pie slices delivered from here a few times and it's been great every time! A little pricey (about $10 per slice) but a nice treat!

    While I'm not a huge fan of dessert normally, True Confections is a decent choice in this city. Parking is available in the strip mall parking lot (limited spots), as well as the side streets. The interior is dim and quiet. Great for conversation. It can get a bit full on the weekends though. The cake slices are quite tall, and can be too much for some. Sharing is recommended. Some of the flavours of cake can be a bit too sweet. Best to stick with some of the lighter choices if this is the case. Of the 3 I tried, only the chocolate hazelnut one was too sweet. The fresh fruit cheesecake and banana cream pie were just right. While I still personally prefer Cheesecake Etc., this place is still worth a visit.

    Ordered true confections from skip the dishes which delivered from the broadway location and I have NEVER had an experience like this from the downtown true confections -ever-. Downtown has higher standards but come on, this is not ok. We got two cakes, the banana one the icing had gone bad, literally. My mum has a cold and couldn't smell anything but she said it tasted really off and handed it to me and it literally smells like rotten milk, super nauseating!! The icing was literally crumbling off that's how rancid it was. The strawberry cake was insanely dry and the inner part that's supposed to be fresh with white cream and strawberry slices was a soggy mush like it had been in the display for a few days. This is actually insulting that they thought it was ok to do this. wow. Cakes are currently in the trash. Just hoping my mum doesn't get food poisoning.

    I really like this place, I've ordered cakes from them before but I have never actually gotten just a slice from them before. On the Friday night I went there was only one person taking orders and cutting all the cakes for the people in takeout and in the restaurant, which meant that the service was a bit slow, disappointing but understandable. I got the chocolate raspberry cake and it was delicious, $9.50 is a bit expensive for one slice of cake, it was a sizeable piece but I'm not sure if it's worth it. The two cakes I've ordered before came out great, but don't know how long it will be till my next visit.

    Desserts are a favorite of mine. Three things that can always make me feel better #1 Wine #2 my bunnies Loki and Kiki #3 Dessert!!! True Confections is the home of the best Peanut Butter Cheesecake I have had since the Cheesecake Factory Days back In Kelowna (long since closed ) If you love PB AND you love cheesecake, this is my top pick of dessert at TC and for cheesecake in general!! It will run you about $7.50-$7.95/piece and worth every freakin' bite!! It's a nice and heavy, New-York style of cheesecake, that isn't too sweet and is super creamy. Pieces are a good size. I have also tried their Hazelnut Chocolate Moose cake which isn't bad. It's light and fluffy with these dramatic shards of pure chocolate heaven dug into the cake. I found this cake a little lack luster, but decent. I feel it should be richer is flavour. True Confection also has a liquor license if you dine in. Coffee and teas as well. No food other than dessert. Give it a try for your next dessert craving!

    I love love love the white Savanah. Its to die for. I wad craving for sweets and had to ask my husband to drive from West 12th and Cambie to West Broadway and Alma. Not a short drive but well worth it. But dont you wish dessert places would offer something savoury in the menu? Maybe its just me but after eating something sweet I want something salty next. Maybe they should have garlic fries and chicken fingers lol! This particular location plays some really nice music. I had to wait for Zedd's Clarity to finish before taking off. The servers are super friendly too. I would recommend this place.

    I have to say nothing really changed much here in terms of decor compared to 7 years ago. Last time I was here I was with a group of friends and yesterday when I came again with a group of friends. The setting or atmosphere is great for small group meetup. He place is not loud. Desert wise it's not bad. We ordered three items and shared it. THe toffee pudding was really good. I ordered the terimisu and that was yummy. I got to try my friend cheese cake, it was very fresh. All desert were freshly made. Best part is that they are in my hood. Plenty of parking at night. Friendly service. They close at midnight. Perfect for late night desert especially the places in the hood closes early.

    Coconut cream pie

    This place is definitely not as good as it used to be. We had a coconut cream pie and devil's food cake . They were ok. I guess I've been spoiled with all these new fancy bakeries in town. This place probably needs to up their game to compete. It's also not as busy here anymore.

    This has been here for what seems like forever. In the case of my darling KTB, it's been here before she was even a zygote. They have busy days and average days and the cakes and servings are always very very large. For me, I am not the usual dessert type and will mostly frequent places like this for the coffee and conversation and may a fork of cake or pie. I can't give it a better rating than I would like because I find their cakes to be a bit on the dry side. Over the past ten years or so, I've gravitated to Asian style cakes which are smaller, dainty and presented like how a cake should. Pretty, delicate and delicious but not too sweet. True Confections seems like a throwback to my college days from the ummmmmmm 80's and 90's........omg. that's so long ago in terms of Millennial lifespans. For me, it's kinda nice to come back and try something....ummmm old school in terms of desserts. A good thing is they haven't changed much and consistency is always something I admired if the recipe for success is right. True to their backgrounds, this has got to be one of the longest running operations in town and for good reason. ....but for me, I'm old and have to watch my diet and waistline. As for the younger ones that like to come here who either drag me out screaming as I'm forced to tag along like an old sea hag and my only option is to sip my coffee while I glare at them enjoying their sinful confections with envy. I'm reminded of my younger days hanging out, chatting about life and love and gossip like a bunch of Gilmore Girls.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

And also the more modern cold desserts such as mango, ube sago and even grass jellies. We opt to order their ube trio and it was heavenly. It had an authentic and strong ube taste. The sagos were cooked just right with the perfect texture and most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered their instagram worthy mahjong tiles which is essentially red bean and coconut pudding. It's very cute and definitely instagram worthy. It's not too sweet and I liked that it came with a side of red bean sauce which made it less dry. The money is also made of edible paper but we didn't touch it cuz it felt weird eating it. However, it wasn't anything special and we wouldn't order it again. It was quite busy when we arrived on a Friday night but it's much easier to go in a smaller party. We were a party of 2 and walked right in even though others were waiting because they needed a bigger table. The place is clean and service was fast. They don't have a time limit even though they are busy so it's a great hang out spot. We would definitely be back to try out other items they have to offer.

And right now (not sure until when) they have a giant sandpit installed in the middle of their store. If you spend $25, you get to play with their toy excavator. And if you collect over 30g of gems, you can spin the wheel and win prizes. (Big prize = $20 coupon) Great for keeping kids and adults that are still kids at heart (myself included), happily occupied.
