It was filled with cherry and whipped cream--flaky, creamy, fruity, and honestly unforgettable. I haven't seen it since, which makes it even more of a "once in a while magic" kind of pastry. And then--something rare in the vegan world--the millefeuille!! I had it once, and it fully satisfied my sweet tooth. It's actually one of my childhood favourite pastries, so this felt extra special. The shop itself is very small, more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-down café, but the pastries really speak for themselves. A tiny place with big dessert energy

I love vegan treats so I'm kind of surprised it took me so long to visit this bakery. I've tried…read moretheir stuff before at the Vegan Night Market but I visited the storefront for the first time today. It's really small, there's standing room for probably no more than three people inside and no seating, but there are two tables outside. Despite the small size, they have a good selection of both sweet and savoury baked goods. I opted to try the Italian sausage calzone and a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, but there was lots of other things that looked tempting, namely the tiramisu, cookies, coffee loaf cake, and savoury croissants. I thought both of the items I tried were delicious. I was really excited about the calzone because I love calzone but it's really rare to see a vegan version. The calzone was flavourful and saucy inside. The crust looked a little dark on the outside, but was tender inside. I asked for it to be heated and I believe it was heated in an oven instead of a microwave because it didn't get the weird mushy microwave texture. The cheesecake wasn't exactly like I was expecting; the filling was light almost like cream cheese whipped cream rather than a typical thick cheesecake filling, however it was no less tasty because of this. It wasn't too sweet and the tart fruitiness of the raspberry swirl came through well. The slice was huge - easily big enough to share but also manageable for one person (me) who really wants cheesecake. They have a small hot drink menu too with coffee and tea. I got the "traditional chai", which was actually a chai latte made with a teabag and not what I would consider traditional chai, but I did think it was a good chai latte. It had the right balance of brewed tea and milk. I appreciated that they asked my preference for sweetened or unsweetened. Unfortunately they would not make my drink in the personal mug I brought. When I visited their table at the Vegan Night Market, I had a tiramisu cake cup and really enjoyed that. They don't sell the cake cups in the store. I think the prices were very reasonable. The calzone was the most expensive at $8 but was pretty substantial. The cheesecake was $6.25 which was not a bad deal for almost a double serving. $5 for the chai is acceptable. I would recommend checking them out if you like vegan baked goods or if you just want to try something different.

The decor is adorable and they sell all sorts of nature friendly kitchen supplies as well as gluten free flours. The staff are always so helpful and are great at advising you about different allergens in the foods so that you can be safe and enjoy your food! My only complaint is that they are too small for an indoor seating area so the food is pretty much all to go. But if you have food allergies, this is the place to go!!

I don't think I'm alone, but I have issues with both gluten and dairy, so it's great to have a delicious selection of baked items that are both vegan and gluten free! I've had several of their sweet items, but their savoury pies and pizzas look delicious too!

Bonus is a delight of a bakery to visit with welcoming interior, minimalist seating and bright yellow pops of colour. I'm smitten. The folks here are super friendly and are more than happy to give you recommendations. Now, let's talk cookies. Their cookie selection is next level serving up choices to please any eater. Personally, I'm a big fan of the consistency, to me it's perfection to have a cookie exterior be slightly crunchy and you take a bite and past the crust is a nice soft centre. They have their recipe down to an art form. Whether you're a hardcore plant-based eater or just someone on the hunt for damn good cookies, this place is a winner. Do yourself a favor and swing by - Bonus Bakery might just become your new sweet obsession.

This past weekend we discovered To Live For and went twice during our short stay in BC.

In Paris, we had vegan pastries many of our days there and afterwards, my hands were so oily....not at To Live For. After the delicious and crunchy croissant was devoured, my hands were dry. WAY TO GO CANADA!

The cake was very cute looking and i absolutely loved the pink and white color scheme. I forgot to take a picture of the slice but it had alternating layers of the sponge and white buttercream. I'm normally not a fan of whipping cream but their buttercream was definitely delicious. With that said, at $75 for a 6" cake, i thought the price was a bit hefty.

I tried the maple walnut donut -- the maple icing itself was tasty, but the donut was a bit soggy, possibly day-old. I'd love to see a maple donut option without the walnuts, and with a bit more icing to really make the flavour pop. The white chocolate chip macadamia cookie was good overall, but again, I found myself wishing there was a nut-free version so the white chocolate could shine on its own. One thing to note: by the time we arrived around 1pm, they were already sold out of several items, so going earlier might be your best bet if you're set on something specific. Overall, it's great to have a fully gluten-free bakery with variety -- I'd just love to see a few nut-free versions and slightly fresher pastries next time.
