There's so much hype around this place but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed…read more Their crème brûlée donut is the standout. The donut itself is soft and fluffy, the filling is nice and creamy, and the crackly caramelized sugar on top gives you that classic crème brûlée experience. It's good, but for me, it wasn't quite the type of donut that all the hype made it out to be. The other flavours were enjoyable; I do wish they were a little more innovative. It feels like there's room to be a bit more creative with the menu. One other thing was how quickly they "sell out." Maybe they genuinely do, but it almost feels like they simply make a very limited quantity each day to create that sense of demand. The location also doesn't do them any favours. Parking is difficult, it's right along a busy road, and it's not exactly the kind of place you casually stop at. Overall, the donuts are good quality, especially the crème brûlée, but I personally don't think they're worth going out of your way for.

I stopped by Casa Dolce this week with a friend. They had so many gelato options!

They also have other dessert options for those not wanting ice cream They have a wonderful open space inside with a decent amount of seating are which is great and they have some seating area outside which is quite nice in the summer/spring time

Baked with pistachio frangipane & filled with kataifi folded with pure pistachio paste & tahini, with milk chocolate rocher glaze. I discovered Elmo baking co when they had a pop up at Richmond location, long time ago. Then, I have always visited their pop up at other shop and I was so happy they opened their own shop. I usually liked their double baked items. This Pistachio Rocher croissant is based on Dubai chocolate. Dough was crispy. Chocolate glaze was very good. The filling Kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini - I prefer a bit more sweetness in it. The pistachio paste flavor dominated , if there were more sweetness , then, it might be more smoother to me . Overall , I enjoyed this item its unique flavor.

Well, besides the fact that my wife finds the chocolate they offer a palpable rush of tasty emotional memories, I would say it's darn tasty chocolate. They have seasonal tins, life event tins, just because I want chocolate tins, bars of chocolates, and build your own box of delicious truffles opportunities. Give yourself a few minutes to browse, because I think you'll find something that you really enjoy.

However, the waffle cone was a bit too fragile and cracked at both attempts by staff to load the scoop of ice cream.

We ordered the Blueberry Earl Grey Dessert Bar and the Strawberry Rhubarb Sweet Crostata, both of which were beautifully balanced and not overly sweet. To drink, we sipped on Burnaby Fog tea lattes, which felt cozy and comforting despite the sunshine. It had a very relaxed, afternoon-tea kind of vibe -- quiet, unhurried, and perfect for lingering. There isn't a ton of seating inside, but the outdoor patio had plenty of space and was a lovely spot to enjoy the weather. Such a sweet way to spend the afternoon, and I can't wait to visit again.

They didn't stinge out on the filling in the crostata and it wasn't overly sweet or tart. The puff dough was amazingly buttery and flaky. The cinnamon bun coffee cake literally tasted like it's name.

I was able to order a custom dairy free, and gluten sensitive cake for a birthday in no time. With a week's notice and a short form filled out, I was given the most perfect cake for my event. One of the things I love most about Rocky Point Ice cream is that the plant based flavours are almost undetectable from regular dairy flavours. They are delicious, creamy and packed with flavour. I make a point of buying pints from this location now rather than getting non-dairy ice creams from the grocery stores because I love the quality and service I get each time I visit. This place is great to hit up if you want to go for a walk in the park and then head for a sweet treat afterwards in their cute little shop. I highly recommend!

It's always flooded with people especially on weekends but the service is pretty fast as there is ample staff to address your order while you are tasting many other flavours. The ambience is okay. Pricing and quantity and quality is nice and I guess that's why it's popular. I loved the blueberry cream cheese flavour a lot. I also tried plant based coconut which is also gluten free. It's okay in taste. Their cookie and cream is also good. We were in hurry so could not taste other flavours. Staff is very friendly. It's definitely a must try place to visit if you are in the area.

I just adore the atmosphere & customer service here. It's a truly community coffee shop & people…read moreworking here go the extra mile (thanks again Gary - you saved me with a much needed Ginger Rogers least week!). Truly, you know the food, coffee & tea is good when there's times that the line up nearly goes to the door & no seats are available inside or out. Certain times of the year they have special drinks featured but the staff is so wonderful that if there's something you liked from a past season, if they still have the ingredients, they'll make it. Lately, Ginger Rogers is my treat to boost my day. Honestly, I've tried so many food options & haven't had a meh reaction to any. There's wraps & paninis plus desserts & cookies & take home items ranging from pancake & cookie mixes, jams & syrups to frozen meals. I think it's decently priced for being in this part of the world & like I mentioned, it's always a decent meal or snack. For accessibility, all the tables are moveable. So you could adjust away from the benches & chairs to allow a walker or wheel chair. But as this cafe is smaller, for those with baby strollers, I would recommend leaving them outdoors & bringing in the essentials with your baby/kids. The door isn't automatic but the handles & space around would allow for most to access the doors (providing that the local puppers aren't tied right next to the door & baby strollers are parked far enough back). Parking has one handicap but I would actually recommend parking closer to the vet clinic side, as that would be easier for drop off & pick up for those with mobility aids. There's also a generous patio area for people to sit with umbrellas. So it is very common to see many people sitting with their dogs outside enjoying the weather & a coffee. Bathrooms (there's 2) are accessed by keys provided by staff. It's been a long time since I needed to use them but they were in decent condition considering the range of people that could use them in the day. Might be a bit tricky to maneuver a wheelchair that way but walker & cane users could navigate past the extra door, random pop-up displays & extra table in the business lobby side. This cafe also allows laptop usage throughout the week but laptop free on weekends. After what I seen today (& it has increased in amount of people from other days I've seen), I'm very glad that's the case. Some people legit bring their whole office, including their screen raisers, extra tech options to headphones and such... I personally think if you need to take up a 4 seat space for your "online needs" & you give off the energy that it's serious work, perhaps the library down the road (which allows room bookings so you could do webinars or group work) or look to rent a temp office space might be better for work. But that's just my two cents as a disabled person who notices this happening more often in a lot more cafes lately. I hope these extra tech office travellers at least buy more than a coffee as all the food is really great here & this cafe deserves to be well supported by all. Definitely give it a try if you're in the PoMo area. Especially if you're already planning on walking into the inlet area to Rocket Point park & pier.

When I asked if it was actually a cold brew, I was met with attitude and defensiveness. I was a barista for years, so from my perspective, that level of service was unacceptable. If it were me behind the bar, I would have said something like, "You know what, that doesn't look right. Can I add a shot of espresso or get you something else instead?" A little honesty and willingness to make it right go a long way. Fail.
