Mon Paris Patisserie
We were excited to try Mon Paris Patisserie after 3 years they have been open. The store is beautifully setup with display that just works. We really enjoyed the croissant, but think the cake can use some work. Next time we will come for the bonbons, macaron and Chocolate double baked with hazelnuts croissant. Mon Paris Patisserie is fairly priced. Even though I think the cake needs improvement, I'm sure there are customers who find the cake just perfect.
Angelina’s Dutch Corner
Pannekoek are like pancakes without leavening agents. Their texture is similar to French crepes without the crispiness. We don't typically go for Dutch-style brunch but Angelina's Dutch Corner definitely gave us a positive experience. It is a little expensive close to $20 per person with drink, but the large portion definitely make up for the expense. For my savory pannekoek, the hollandaise sauce did a lot of heavy lifting to keep things interesting.
Yolks on Broadway
I like how yolk's food tastes. Everything seems to be made to be very high quality in all aspects. It's really a restaurant that excites your palate for tastes you never knew existed. The downside for Yolks is its above-average price. You are looking at about $25 per person if you come here. Despite the high price, I think everyone should give Yolks a try at least once.
Nemesis coffee downtown brunch
Nemesis Coffee was worth the trip. The two-page menu looks simple, but the flavour of toppings really compliment each other. I heard their brekky sando and french toast are really well made, and that is what I am going to order next time. The cost of $14 per person including drinks is not that expensive either. Nemesis Coffee is one of the best brunch places in town, and I encourage everyone to go and enjoy a lazy weekend morning.
Snow Angel Cafe Extravagant Korean Dessert in Burnaby
Snow Angel Cafe may not have a business philosophy, but they really captured the heart of many customers with their beautifully presented desserts. Everything we have ordered was created with a very high standard that they don't just taste good, but also very exciting to look at. I know their bingsoos are also very beautiful but didn't have a chance to try them during this visit. We would definitely come back for it.
Gastown’s bakery has the most variety of baked goods
Purebread has a very solid presentation. Everything looked very good and was tightly placed together. I have not walked into a bakery that I was unable to make my decisions like in Purebread. The baked goods were made early in the morning, so some of the items may be a bit stale. I would recommend re-heating with a small convection oven at home before enjoying them.
