The best chocolate croissants and coffee. Excellent customer service. Staff are always so friendly. Food is always a hit.
Got the croissant cube with passion fruit curd inside + a double baked almond croissant. Both were nice and flaky and the curd was rich and tangy. Recommend coming here for their chocolates and cakes too!!!
Awesome food!! My favorite is the almond chocolate croissant. People there are very friendly and good service! I'm personally not a fan of their coffee, it's too acidic for my taste. Other than that GREAT place for food and other treats!
Update, December 2020: I've upgraded my review based on a more recent visit in which both desserts and both hot chocolates were awesome! I loved the seasonal peppermint hot chocolate and my wife had the regular which was also delicious. And the cakes - the Mango Chocolate melted on our tongues and left a great lingering taste sensation; the Double Baked Almond Chocolate Croissant was also a treat to the taste buds. It's a bit pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for here - amongst the best-tasting desserts you'll find anywhere in BC, so a worthwhile treat for special occasions which I wish I could afford more often!
Review from 3 years ago: Only discovered this place as a result of the Hot Chocolate Festival and so glad we came here! The pastries are delicious, although the two items we had don't appear on their online menu (apple turnover and a type of cinnamon bun). The Tropical Storm hot chocolates were disappointing though. The "pineapple" aspect consisted of what appears to be pineapple puree or jam dolloped on the marshmallow which was overdone with shredded coconut. To us, the shredded coconut detracted from the experience having to deal with bits of coconut in your mouth among what would have been very tasty hot chocolate. While it was good, it certainly was not worth the $7.00 price tag!
If we return here, we'll stick to the desserts, particularly some of the chocolate fare which looks delicious!
Great coffee pastries and chocolates on the pricey side.
