    Power Bar, Almond Milk Latte
    Terisa D.

    A quiet and spacious corner café on Willow and West 16th, serving a variety of homestyle baked goods, tea and coffee. This is definitely a solid café to visit if you're in need of a quiet space to read, work or study for a couple of hours. The prices are very reasonable with pasties/sandwiches ranging from around $1.75 to $7 and coffee/tea/smoothies starting as low as $2.75. The owner is super friendly and hardworking as he tends to manage the day to day operations on his own. It's quite a standard café with decent bold espresso and a good variety on their menu. The Power Bar was also just okay. Nothing too unique or different about it.

    I never been to Willow Café until my friend told me that they changed the owner in Fall and the bakery and pastries are pretty good. Sure! Just go and check it out. When I went there on Friday late afternoon, they have no customer there. I guessed the owner (Chinese man) checking around and briefing the staffs. The staff was friendly and told us the bakery made daily freshly. We got a brewed coffee and chocolate mousse cake to go. I found the coffee was a bit old and chocolate mousse cake too sweet and barely taste chocolate flavour. Hope they can survive for long.

    Nice seating area and best banana bread I have ever had until I bit into a giant eggshell which really made me want to hurl. Friendly staff and nice place but they close really early like 4;30. They didn't have any nice mousse cakes in the photos that I really wanted to try.

    Thought the shop was cute and I find it a bit pretentious of her to tell a shop that it is hindering the beauty of the neighbourhood - get over yourself.

Streams of red berry drape across the bouffant croissant, topped with a swirl of the most creamy chocolate ever, try to not devour it all in one bite! Biting into the puffy croissant reveals more miracles of taste and texture - run, don't walk, to L'atelier while they are featuring this magnificent confection. Best with coffee to punctuate the rich chocolate. As I was purchasing, another customer was commanding me to try the raspberry croissant - but it was sold out! L'atelier has outdone themselves with this offering. Still located at East Broadway at Carolina, outdoor seating for true Vancouverites, lots of street parking, easy transit.

What I got: Milk Chocolate Passion Fruit Croissant A bicolored croissant filled with milk chocolate and passion fruit whipped ganache. Bright and tangy notes meet smooth, comforting chocolate -- a taste of sunshine on a crisp fall afternoon. Bi colored croissant looked very beautiful. Dough was light and flaky as usual, the highlight was the filling. Tangy milk chocolate with passion fruit flavor was so delicious. It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.

    Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. 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!

Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
