Every year I always look forward to what Fife comes I with next for the hot chocolate festival and they get more and more creative each year! Their drinks are the perfect sweetness and flavour is on point to the theme they are trying to achieve! In my recent two visits I tried the Mango Pudding and Sweet Almond tea. They were both so good I wish they are part of their regular menu!

I recently visited Fife Bakery to try their Hot Chocolate Festival offering (surprisingly my first…read moreyear trying anything from the festival). The space was small but quaint and I loved the corgi themed decor. I tried their mango pudding hot chocolate which also came with a mochi mango muffin (~$9), service was reasonable, and I also got to try a chocolate chip sea salt cookie which was super delicious :) Overall, this was one of the least sweet hot chocolates I've had in a while (which is a solid woohoo from me!) and the mango syrup on top tasted very natural

Delicate and delicious, but with a few caveats…read more I ordered the Milk Tea Peach Tiramisu from Beaucoup Cafe and was very impressed. It was delicate, elegant, and genuinely delicious--the flavours were well balanced, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into making it. I definitely wasn't disappointed. That said, it is on the expensive side, so I did find myself expecting a little more flexibility with the service. In particular, I was surprised that they couldn't accommodate a simple name plate on the cake. For a cake at this price point, it seems like a fairly reasonable request, especially when other bakeries offer this on less expensive cakes. The pickup process itself was fine, but keep in mind that pre-orders need to be placed quite a few days in advance, so this isn't really a last-minute cake option. One other practical note: if you're ordering during the summer, make sure you get it into the fridge as soon as possible after pickup. The tiramisu is quite delicate and doesn't hold up well sitting out in the heat. Overall, a beautiful and delicious cake that I would happily have again, although the price and some of the ordering limitations are worth keeping in mind.

Their breakfast sandwiches are the bomb! VERY flavourful, fresh and not basic at all…read more I had their Breakfast croissant to go a few weeks ago and it was dreeeeamy. The eggs were scrambled with some truffle business and were so creamy, tasty and perfect. And this is after buying it, and taking it on the bus with me to work and not eating it until half hour later and it was STILL excellent. Today I had their Bacon Breakfast sandwich, and it was also SO delish. The egg was a perfect "over-medium" (I didn't specify this when ordering, that's just how it came), there was plenty of crispy bacon, lettuce, a slightly sweet & savoury tomato jam, something called BUTTER CHEESE (yes, you read that right!) all on a golden toasted brioche bun. Oh and I had it with a nice Americano, which was also good, but the breakfast sandwich was the star for me!

If it were the only place around, it would stand out, but there is substantial competition up the street from La Duree, Paul, Le Belisse Cafe (my favorite) and others. I didn't try the sweet croissants, but the plain croissant was perfectly good. The bread, however, was a disappointment. The barista claimed that "all our breads are sourdough." But there's more to sourdough than just the technique. There's also the flavor. And what looked like a wonderful French boule turned out to basically just be a big hunk of white bread. I didn't have their coffee, so it might be great, but with so many choices around, I think I would probably go up the street.

I wasn't crazy about their Ham n Cheese Croissant the first time I tried them 3 years ago…read more I mean honestly, Vancouver needs another croissant place like it needs more bike lanes. I've been looking for a place to pick up fresh, tasty, breakfast bagels downtown....and Boooommm! Today it happened. Cute little pick up window you place your oder with friendly staff. Their Egg, bacon and Cheese Breakfast Sesame Bagel was awesome. I personally love the taste of honey dijon, and delicately spread on both sides was a layer of delicious honey dijon with crisp fresh romaine lettuce, tomatoes, juicy scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese on a fresh sesame bagel. It was tasty, it was fresh, it was filling. It was what I've been looking for and never realized I found past all the massive waves of croissant places drowning the breakfast market. Hopefully, this preference will find its own great wave and Vancouverites will have more options to choose from, because still we are choosing between a full on brunch and perhaps a premium croissant bakery, but reluctantly. All you Bagel Lovers out there.... there's one on Mainland!

Since we were just stopping in for a little break on our walk back to the train station we decided to just grab a carrot baby cake to try.

They also serve coffee but I didn't see a menu displayed.

The original West Hastings location holds a special place -- when they first opened, their bars and…read morecookies were genuinely memorable, little treats that lingered delightfully on the palate. The Whistler location has been consistently reliable; we always leave with a loaf of bread and a selection of bars. The Mount Pleasant location is newer to me. Parking can be a bit of a challenge during office hours, and on my most recent visit, I tried a loaf and two pastries. Sadly, none were particularly memorable. Their laminated pastries are less flaky than some might hope. The almond croissant with marzipan filling was decent but lacked the richness and sweetness I usually crave -- more of a pudding-like hybrid than the decadent treat I remember. Looking back, it seems many of the recipes have evolved over the years, and I can't say I have a true favourite to recommend at this point. Inside, the space is airy and spacious, though very busy -- a lively hum that adds character but can feel a little at odds with a quiet indulgent moment.

The space is beautiful, very bright with high ceilings. And the selection of pastries was impressive. Opted for a latte and a croissant. Both came out as expected in terms of presentation and taste, though the latte was not as hot as one would expect. They did provide a pager to notify when the coffee was ready. Waited. Waited. Finally walked over and after several exchanges, determined it was our coffees. I provided the pager and said it did not go off. The attendant then reached down and activated it. Nice. No apologies. Beautiful space but with poor service, I have no intentions of returning to this or any of the Small Victory Bakery's.

Hoping it's just that they were temporarily out of stock or something and that they havn't stopped making those lovely desserts altogether. Those desserts were showstoppers. For the Too Good to Go package I was given a bag that had a savory croissant sandwich in it and a box that had two large sized pieces of some kind of flaky pastry with cheese in it. The croissant had cheese on top and some kind of deli meat in the middle. I don't eat meat so I warmed this up for my husband and daughter to share. The flaky pastry with cheese I saved and warmed up for breakfast with my daughter the next day. A bit of Google searching has told that those flaky pastries are Cheese Pitas. It's a mix of feta and cottage cheese inside. Always a gamble with Too Good to Go. I probably wouldn't have ever thought to order these foods if I'd walked into the shop and ordered regular price. I see that as a plus though, not a minus. I kinda like trying things I wouldn't normally think to try. The pastry on both the croissant and cheese pita were both very flaky. I still prefer the sweets here over the savory items but the savory items are pretty good too. If you like flaky pastries, this is a pretty good place for that!

They gave a disclaimer to wait "20 minutes" before eating because it was still frozen. Brought them home and attempted to consume maybe an hour later. It was strangely still cold and slightly frozen. I expected more fruit or more actual cake taste. Perhaps these were to be sorbet/gelato cakes as it was strange to eat these so cold. Cakes themselves were well presented. However the experience was quite confusing as I didn't actually know what I was to expect when consuming. Will need to return to have it there next time so I can rate properly.
