Everything in the case looked delectable, but we decided upon a large peanut butter-caramel cookie that was still warm from the oven -- and was it ever good. It was made even better with a light sprinkle from the salt shaker. We also shared a Black Forest bar with frosting that tasted a bit refrigeratory; the chocolate sponge cake layers were dry but the cherry filling was tart-sweet and delicious. The patio provided a relaxing space to sit, sip and snack as we watched the denizens of this lovely neighborhood stroll by.

Damn wow! I saw a Sailor Moon cake and cookies at a friend's birthday party and had to find out…read moremore about where she got it. Gamers, movie, cartoon and anime fans alert, you're gonna love this cake designer. Bad Ass Cakes is based in Vancouver, BC. Their Facebook page says their location is in North Vancouver, but their location is actually in the central Vancouver area which is convenient and accessible to everyone. The page is www.facebook.com/forBadAssPeople. I'm a total gamer and anime geek at heart and was excited by what I saw. The creator designs cakes and cookies with themes like League of Legends, Sailor Moon, Iron Man, Star Wars, MineCraft, Portal, etc. He does fashion and regular custom cakes too for weddings and birthdays, and cakes at EXP Restaurant + Bar (another favorite venue of mine). When my gf unveiled the cake at her birthday dinner, all the guests (and myself) were really surprised at how gorgeous the cake and cookies were. The designer made a pink Chibi Moon vanilla cake with pink icing inside, and the exterior was made with fondant. It was high quality tasting fondant, and tasted like a delicious marshmallowy flavor. The fondant was not overly sweet (which other bakeries tend to do) so it paired very nicely with the cake. The cookies were super cute, they were shortbread cookies that were chewy and soft, and the icing was also not overly sweet. Everything tasted good and I highly recommend Bad Ass Cakes, especially to those who love games, anime and movies if you're looking for that extra special custom cake! I want one too now. The photos below are hers, since mine came out too blurry with my crappy phone cam. I received permission to use her photos for my review. I was there physically at the party.

As much as I want to like this place and as friendly as the service is, it's unfortunate that…read morethey're just quite badly organized and seem to always be frazzled or uninformed when it comes to dealing with patrons. The afternoon tea is not very quintessential as their sweets are not petit fours but plain and simple cookies with a couple macarons thrown in. The sandwiches were very bland as well but the coronation chicken salad sandwich is an absolute hit! Honestly, I'd steer away from everything at this place other than that but once you eat that chicken sandwich, you'll be coming back for it as it's quite addictive.

I've had my share of boong-uh ppang (goldfish bread) in my life. When they are freshly made, they should have a crisp exterior, light and airy texture, and a yummy filling. These didn't disappoint. The batter was more chewy - like dduk or Korean rice cake - maybe they have tapioca or rice flour. However, it was still light in texture. It was so enjoyable to taste! I got one of each - red bean, custard, and green tea. I ate the green tea, my favorite, and gave the other 2 to my kids. I had no idea the batter would also be green tea. The green tea custard inside was thick, creamy, and almost buttery. It tasted like egg custard and so smooth. I was surprised of this find as I've taken their quality to be similar to Korea or LA Koreatown. This in... North Vancouver? How? The owners were so cool that they gave us rice puff to munch on while we waited for our desserts to-go.

Wish there was more injeolmi but still a good bingsu. small size is plenty for 2 to share. Comes with a big scoop of ice cream too. There was little selection though. For around $10, pretty good. 4/5. The bungeoppang was ok. Tasted like premade stuff (maybe frozen?) that was just reheated. Definitely not freshly made. For $3 though, I dont mind. 3/5. I would like to come back to try their kimbap, one of my favourite common Korean foods. Guy behind the counter was nice enough. You order at a kiosk though, they dont take orders at the counter. Thats kind of a bottleneck since theres only 1 kiosk. Its on Lonsdale, you can find street parking. Place is small, has a few tables you can sit at, or just take out. Clean though. tentatively they get 4/5 overall. I'll come back to try some other things.
