    Fresh loaves of bread.
    Nancy H.

    I think I found my new favorite coffee place in the UBC area! My friend and I were unable to find a parking spot at our previous "favorite" spot (the UBC "Bean around the World", so charming, with a huge garden and patio, in a barn-like setting. But there's NO PARKING there, and the last 12 times we tried to park, we couldn't, so we went elsewhere). So we went to our second fave place, the "Blenz" nearby in the UBC Village, but that was closed for renovations. So we walked to this Doughgirls bakery and coffee shop and OMG we are no longer going to go to any other places! This is the BEST! And will be our new #1 place to go. There is a ton of free 2-hour parking on the streets and side streets. That alone is a huge benefit to coming here. The shop itself is small (which may pose a problem, come the colder and rainier winter months), but there is ample seating outside on the bistro tables and chairs. And the best part? The coffees and bakery goods here are absolutely amazing. I had a hard time deciding between a butter tart and a cinnamon bun (I went with the latter, but was told the former was divine here), and my friend, who can't have gluten, opted for a creme brûlée (which she said was fantastic). Our coffees were top notch too. And bonus for the friendly girls who work here! Super nice. The fresh loaves of bread were also enticing. Just sayin'. This is truly a hidden gem of a place, and totally worthy of checking out if you're in the UBC area.

    What an amazing discovery for me while biking to ubc... A small indie cafe which offers an array of different standard pastries, but the surprise was...some mexican baked goods too. They also have fresh juices by the cup or liter and other bfast items like yogurt etc. But what immediately caught my eye was a big clam shaped designed bread with a mexican name. I immediately inquired about it and was told ( by a mexican) server, that it was a tyoe of mexican bread with cinnamon and chocolate flavour. I mean, cant go wrong with that, right. The other stuff were crossaints, cookies, scones, which were typical of other bakeries...since this one stood out. I had to try it. Lol. It was very good. Soft and moist, with the outside crust giving you a little bit of crunchy texture. Like a lightly toasted surface. The flavours were all there, not to overpowering, but just right. Service was quick and friendly. I had a few questions about other things, and they gladly obliged. I also ordered the drip coffee too. Very strong and robust. Perfect for me...and the portion size very generous. When I go biking up there again, i will stop by for sure to sample the other offerings. They have outdoor seating which was perfect. Self service condiment and water station was also available. Very popular among the locals as you will see lots of customers lining up and getting their morning pastry fix. Cheers! Happy eating!

    Just go! You'll love it ;) I had a London Fog and Muffin it was delightful! I also grabbed a baguette for home.

    The apple pie to go.

    Cute little bakery/cafe in Wesbrook Village, it would be difficult to stumble upon this place due to location and unless you live nearby or happen to be in the area. I was just leaving the BC liquor store across the street and happened to see this bakery and thought I would go by to check out. Due to covid precautions - there is a limit of 2 patrons in the restaurant so if you come during busier times there will definitely be a line up. When I arrived there were 2 people ordering their coffees so I had to wait for 5-10 minutes before entering as well. The price point is definitely higher than bakeries like Cobbs and Terra Breads but the selection is quite different. They also have a frozen section with pre-made pies and meals that you can heat up at home as well. I left with a small apple pie, and some peanut butter dog biscuits. The total came to $25 (like I said, higher price point for sure!). My dog loved the biscuits, and the apple pie was decent as well. I like that the apple pie is not super sweet like the grocery bakery variety, but with a slight tart note with lots of cinnamon. The pie crust is amazing, however could use a little more gooey goodness with the filling because it was a little dry. All in all, good place to stop by for a treat - the pictures of the sandwiches look amazing so will have to try that next. I love the neighborhood bakery feel of the place, and will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

    Came here on a whim for the Hot Chocolate Festival, and ended up with a table full of food. Just walking into this place makes your mouth water, and then as you near their display, your salivary glands go into hyperdrive. Sandwiches - gooooooood. Flatbreads - gooooooood. That bacon twist thing? OMG, SO GOOD. And the hot chocolate that we originally came for? Also good - not too sweet, yet still tasting rich and chocolatey. Bonus: they sell (kinda overpriced) jam, frozen meals, and the best damn orange blossom cream cheese spread you will have ever eaten in your life. THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM - DO IT! YOU WILL THANK ME! Not a lot of seating available here, so it's hard if you're coming in a big group. Couple of tables outside available as well. Free street parking outside - woot!

    Florentine Lasagna, Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Horchata
    Dana S.

    Very charming and cozy little eatery with a family kitchen theme. They serve comfort dishes in addition to cafe fare. The baked goods and desserts all looked very appetizing. I went for the Florentine Lasagna and a chocolate cake that I can't recall the full description of, but it had layers of chocolate and raspberry infused cake and whipped cream frosting, topped with a chocolate ganache. Very visually appealing. Also I grabbed a horchata from the refrigerator, was very excited to see that they had horchata. My lasagna was tasty and the layer of cheese on top gave it a nice crunch, although it definitely had a bit of that sogginess that you get with microwaved food. The lasagna came with a light salad and a slice of bread. The bread had a nice hearty and fresh feel. Horchata was also enjoyable, although I'm pretty easy to please with horchata - the taste of this one was a little different than what I expect, with undertones that reminded me of milk tea, but in this case the different was interesting! The cake was what stole the show for me. The combination of textures was very pleasing, between the moist cake, fluffy whipped layers, and fudgy ganache, it was a very satisfying treat! Compared to, say, a coffee shop, the food here is more expensive, but I do feel like I got what I paid for with basically a full meal, since the lasagna came with a salad and bread, and the cake was very good quality. The interior is decorated in keeping with the family kitchen theme. It's a little on the small side, at least for the business that they get, but very cozy. There's one large table which can seat multiple groups, a counter along the window, and a few single "desks" along the wall. There's also a few tables outside. Again, it does get busy, so it may be difficult to find a seat, especially if you're with a group. I believe laptops are okay at the large table but not at the counter, but I don't really feel that this is the sort of place for working, it's more geared towards catching up or reading, or just grabbing a bite.

    this was bangin. salad smacked. nicest staff. really solid turkey pot pie. sandwiches were slaying. dough girls? more like slay girls !

    Bread selection...

    My favorite "go to" bakery. My personal favorite right now is cranberry orange scone. Sometimes for lunch I would get their kimchi burrito. When fall arrive and thanksgiving is around the corner, check out their pumpkin pie.

    Turkey Pot Pie (recommend!)

    Turkey pot pie was really good Buttery flaky crust with well seasoned filling (tastes like a creamy chowder with tender turkey pieces)

    I'm astonished by the good reviews, because the food is mediocre at best. Maybe slightly better than your average grocery store bakery.

Unfortunately, this one was a bit disappointing. The interior was overly moist, the caramelized crust lacked the crispness I was hoping for, and the honeycomb structure wasn't very well developed. Overall, it was just average. We also ordered the Strawberry Pistachio Tart. The strawberries were fresh with a nice balance of sweetness, and there was a good amount of pistachio chunks. However, it lacked the layers of flavor that make a tart memorable. On the bright side, the coffee was excellent and easily my favorite part of the visit. I'd happily come back for a coffee, but I'd probably try different pastries next time.

It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.
