    a table and chairs
    Pam C.

    I originally wanted to go to Starbucks next door, but changed my mind when I saw this local cafe. AMOKA is a small, clean cafe with vibrant wall paintings. They offer quick and friendly service. They have a decent selection of baked goods, and lots of specialty beverages. I ordered the lavender London fog and a regular banana bread. The cashier asked me to take a sip just to make sure there is enough syrup, but there wasn't. So I am glad he offered to add more syrup to sweeten my drink. However, after I walked out with the fog and I noticed that it was just too milky than sweet, and I couldn't really taste the tea. It wasn't very tasty, rather just milky for me. The banana bread was also just OK. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. It was lacking taste, as well. I had half of it, as I shared the bread with a friend. My friend also had the same comments about the bread.

    Butter Tart, Lemon Meringue mini tart, and Ginger Molasses cookie (2/21/18)
    Marie B.

    Walked past a Transylvannian bakery and another adjacent spot that featured churros, but was closed. First stop today on upper Davie/West End was to check out Tartine Bread and Pies instead (2/21/18). It was still below freezing and the flurries started, so it was a welcomed stop to warm up and check out their baked goods. Nice to see a bustling neighborhood bakeshop/cafe. The pastry case filled with eye catching items: pastries, cookies, pies, and artisan loaves of bread too. Smelled nice! Super friendly and genuine counter person who rang up our purchases of one each: a ginger molasses cookie, a butter tart, and a mini lemon tart ($4.95 Cdn). The Homie consumed the mini tart onsite. We shared the butter tart later on back at the high rise flat. Reminded me of the pecan tassies my late father baked, minus the pecans. The ginger molasses cookie had that signature chew and flavor. These items were spot on satisfying! I'm glad I stopped in at Tartine Bread and Pies.

    I should reserve full judgment till I try one of the sweet treats here, but in the mean time, Tartine serves up a decent turkey sandwich for under $10. I tried the Turkey Delight, with lettuce and cucumber. The housemade (?) multigrain bread was on the softer side, the turkey good quality (not slimy, overly salty and processed), and the veggies fresh. Don't be afraid to ask for additional condiments (I swapped the prescribed cranberry mayo for classic yellow mustard). The space is a bit on the smaller side for eating in, so not ideal for larger groups, but tea for two, me and you, is all good.

    Bars and cookies - their molasses cookie is great!
    Courtney L.

    The sight of pie through the windows pulled us in as we walked by Tartine after dinner. It's so cute and quaint, offering fresh pies made daily. Right at the front, a board lists the several seasonal pies available, but since we stopped in around 6 PM, the flavors that we were the most excited about tasting had unfortunately sold out. The employee behind the counter was friendly and patient while we were deciding on our order, which we appreciated since we can be pretty indecisive when it comes to baked goods. **TIP** There's a special deal for latecomers like us: After 6:00 PM, if you buy a slice of pie, a complimentary tea or coffee is included, all for $4.20. Not too bad! We opted for a slice of blueberry pie and couldn't resist from also grabbing a molasses cookie ($1.75). The cookie was chewy, light and buttery - so good! Sadly, I wasn't huge fan of the pie. The blueberry filling wasn't too flavorful... not sweet nor tart, but instead pretty bland. The crumble on top also didn't add to the pie at all. Lesson learned... come here before early afternoon to avoid the slim pickings from the day's leftovers. Although coming in late allows you to take advantage of their 6:00 PM deal, the selection is extremely limited.

    Vegan Almond Croissant
    Aishani B.

    Cute cafe in the neighborhood. Their coffee was pretty decent. Got myself a cappuccino with skim milk, definitely the milk to coffee ratio was a bit off for me. Their vegan almond croissant was super delicious, and took me a second to tell it apart from a regular almond croissant.

    Morning glory muffin. Very subtle sweetness from the sultanas inside. Quite dry outside layer but the inside is lovely.

    Super fast and friendly service. All the bakery items are good, nothing mind blowing but always consistently nice and the coffee is yummy :)

    Starwberry rhubarb pie....DELICIOUS!
    Josh K.

    After taking a bite out of Tartine's strawberry rhubarb pie, I had to take a photo of it because it was that good. I am fortunate enough to have a grandma that bakes incredible strawberry rhubarb pies. Tartine's offering is just like grandma makes them. Sugared, flaky crust. Tangy rhubarb sweetened by sugar. Strawberry sauce. My diet is in serious danger.

    Not as good as it used it to be... I used to live and work near this location and go in regularly for lunch. I was in the area so decided to stop in. The turkey delight sandwich was always my favourite, unfortunately now it is essentially salad on bread with a hint of turkey, they have really cut back on the turkey. There was so much lettuce on it and I had to search for the turkey. Don't think I'll be stopping in again which is too bad.

    Sour cherry tart, my favorite
    Christy P.

    I was visiting Vancouver for vacation and staying in the area. I can only vouch for the sour cherry tarts but in the span of a 7 day vacation, we came back here twice which is a lot for us. After all, we were on a food tour of Vancouver. The tarts are reasonably priced, and the cherries were the perfect amount of sweet and tart. The crust was soft, slightly sweet and the oh dang, the filling was magic. The filling was sugary sweet with a hint of sour, and the crumble on top was great. You won't be disappointed if you pop in for a small treat. If I was staying longer, I probably would have eaten a whole pie to myself.

    Buckwheat Chocolate chip walnut cookie! Simply the best cookie Ever! And I got my helmet, bike, cookie and sign all in the same shot haha!

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!

    Waaah I loved this place! Vancouver, how lucky you are to have Konbiniya!…read more Walking into this place felt a little bit like being transported into Japan. I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here. Definitely came across items I've never seen before like a Takoyaki flavored Ramune. It was extremely discounted just fyi probably for good reason. They even had Japanese canned drinks stored hot like in Japan! The take away Japanese desserts also looked good. This place is right on Robson street so a great place to grab a snack, drink, pick me up while shopping. Prices seemed reasonable. One caveat is that it can get busy in here and the aisles are small so it felt a little crowded but that's sort of like Japan as well lol so not a big deal for me. Added to the ambience.

Service is cheerful, personable and brisk. The store also houses a takeaway crepe and ice cream shop - the crepes are actually better than the ones I've had in Tokyo.
