Christmas season special item - Christmas Tree Croissant!!…read moreTwice baked croissant ~ a Christmas tree croissant! Filled with a creamy pistachio mousseline and a tart and aromatic Morello cherry coulis. The presentation was very adorable. Especially, the cute eyes. Bi-color design was beautiful. Dough was the best of all tree croissant I ever tried. Twice baked croissant was so buttery, flaky and crispy outside. Just great. And highlight was filling. Pistachio mousseline texture was light cheese cake type and paired with cherry coulis so well. It was just great! Presentation, texture and filling, overall, this one was a excellent item. Highly recommend.

I was finally able to snatch a Surprise Bag and I absolutely loved it! I got two slices of their Vegan Matcha Raspberry + Pistachio Cake and their Vegan Vanilla Bean Shortbread. The cake was perfection. Perfectly moist, great matcha flavour, the matcha buttercream filling is heavenly, and the raspberries and pistachio compliments the cake. The shortbread cookie were also great.. finished them pretty quickly! I was really impressed. I am definitely planning on getting the next birthday cake from here cause they all look amazing. Really happy that I found another great bakery!

Have been wanting to try this spot ever since they opened in BC. I've even ordered a delivery for…read moremy loved ones in Toronto from Daan Go and they love this spot so I had high expectations. I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings....

A very innovative HK-meets-west bakery, with really well done traditional western pastries with…read moreinnovative themes (crab truffle croissant, matcha churro with caramel filling), plus creative cake interpretations of dim sum items. we bought a whole bunch of pastries and cakes and they were all really good, lots of great mango based fillings too. Highlights: - Bolo Bao (guava strawberry compote vanilla chiffon and passion fruit mango) and Siu Mai (mango compote passion fruit mousse yellow choco wrapper) - honey butter vanilla - a croissant with amazing filling - the "Cinnabon" is not the traditional Cinnabon. It is more like a twisted churro creation but really good. I feel a place like this is the best of marrying western baking and Chinese themes. It is the kind of innovation I often saw in Hong Kong. In fact I think this place was founded by a HK based engineer who came over.

I came after I saw recommendations for the fresh mango cake here online and was also recommended…read morethe pastries by a friend. I ordered a fresh mango cake the night before I needed it. It was very convenient, as some other places didn't allow such last minute orders! The cake was delicious, everyone enjoyed it! It was light, not too sweet and had a generous coating of mango. Would absolutely get it again! I also got a sugar cream bun which was also a delight, though I had expected it to have cream inside, but that was probably my own misunderstanding.

We usually drop by to buy our favourite buns, bread and slices of cake for weekend. Remind you,…read morethey are not open every Monday. I will call them in advance to hold some hot items. eg. Shredded pork bun, Coffee Cream Bun and Hawaii bun etc. The Portuguese egg tart is also good too. They usually have three staffs to help the customers

I found out that Saint Germain Bakery was doing a $1 promotion for their longjing tea pastry with…read moremochi and I had to get it because I love mochi! The Guildford location is really great because it's not crowded and I was able to get the pastry while it was still warm. I liked how the taste was light and the texture of mochi and flakey pastry combined was really nice. I also got a wintermelon pastry. Overall, the store was organized, friendly, and I had a wonderful experience

I've been visiting this Chinese bakery quite frequently since they're doing a $1 special everyday…read morefor the rest of May! This time, the sale item was a cheese wiener bun which was fairly solid but could've used a bit more cheese in my opinion. I'm excited to see what other items they will put as part of this promotion since I'm able to try new buns that I wouldn't normally get (I usually stick to their Curry Beef Bun since it's the best one I've had). I've also tried their cakes in the past and I would rank them fairly high amongst other Chinese bakeries in the area though their cakes are a bit more pricy. Overall a very convenient location especially when on the way to Walmart for errands, a very solid Chinese bakery with lots of pastries that aren't too sweet

I was craving cake and we heard that this was a great spot to try so why not?…read more We arrived at 4:30pm on a Saturday hoping for the best. We tried a sampling of the small cakes, cupcakes and some items from the pastry case. They were ALL EXCELLENT. Fresh with light balance of flavors as well as a great ratio of sponge to frosting. The banana bread was as good as any home made I've ever had. We've been back twice since that visit, including to get birthday cakes, and Trafiq remains my favorite cake/cupcakes/treats in Vancouver. My recommendation is get there in the morning and have a(n) amazing schmecken and a latte. The (amazing) schnecknen was perfection plus and now as I write this at 4:00pm on a weekday in South Granville I really want a Trafiq Schnecken. Aside from everything we've ever ordered being excellent, the staff is great and they have a nice cozy dining area. It's also a great neighborhood for a stroll.

I visited Trafiq for Nomsmag Cherry blossom festival limited item…read more What we got: Strawberry Jasmine Tea Horchata Fragrant jasmine tea horchata steeped with real strawberry, poured over ice. Floral and fruity with a clean, honeyed finish. Kinako Cherry Cheese Swiss Roll Light sponge cake rolled with tangy cherry compote and smooth cream cheese, dusted with nutty roasted kinako soybean powder. Matcha-Berry Opera Cake Thin layers of matcha joconde sponge, berry ganache, and matcha buttercream stacked into a refined, jewel-toned slice. Black forest cupake and cookie and cream cupcake. Kinako Cherry cheese swill roll was good. Cherry compote dominated the cake flavor, paired with cream cheese well. Kinako powder was very subtle, it was not overly sweet, overall, it was very good. Strawberry jasmine tea was just ok. Strawberry and floral flavor were very subtle. Jasmine tea flavor dominated this drink. When I mixed with Whipped cream on top, it tasted better. Matcha berry opera cake was the highlight! Matcha buttercream and berry ganache paired so well, and surprisingly it was not overly sweet. What I always love about Trafiq's cakes is that their cake is not overly sweet, and have very sophisticated flavor. Black forest cupcake and cookie and cream cupcake's presentation was super cute! The cute rounded buttercream on the top of cupcake caught our eye. Cupcake tasted just ok, sponge was decent and cream was softer than I thought. I liked cookie and cream flavor better. Overall, highly recommend this place's dessert and cakes.

The owners are so nice and accommodating. I had the wrong date for a cake order and when I went to…read morepick it up I was too early. They graciously offered to make it on the spot. I came here because my niece had bought the same mango cake in the past and it was so fresh and delicious. And the price is so much more reasonable. The entire cake is covered in mango and the filling also had mango. And they use fresh cream. The place is unassuming and sparse and the wall is covered in photos of mostly wedding cakes sent in by the people who ordered here thanking the couple who made their a perfect with great cakes. I will definitely be coming back here to order a durian cake!

In the spirit of International Women's Day, I would like to leave a 5 star review for local bakery…read moreowner, Helen. Awesome foods -- I.e. very very yummy cake! Ordered an 8 inch fresh mango cake for $65 and it definitely delivered the WOW factor!! She made the cake fresh, on the day of pickup and it's truly one of the best fresh mango cake I have had. I was impressed at how the mangoes were so sweet and fresh and yes, all natural, with no sugar coating. And the cream on cake was excellent - fresh and luxurious feeling. I loved how the cream on cake did not overpower mangoes, perfect sweetness with very smooth texture, bringing out the mango fruity taste and pairs perfectly with the vanilla sponge cake which is light and fluffy. Everyone, from young pre-teen to old senior age, enjoyed this bday cake after dinner. The 8" cake was more than enough to share between our dinner party of 12 with various diet restrictions - some wanted bigger slice while some could only sample a taste of sugar and still other foodies like myself who hoarded a second slice lol. This cake was deserving of driving across town against rush hour Hastings traffic to pick up and Yan Bakery may become the only place I would go for fresh mango cakes in Vancouver. IMO, Helen's fresh mango cake was way way better than La Foret, Maxim, St Germaine's or T&T, just to name a few places where I have ordered mango cakes. I think Helen is a great bakery owner because cakes delivered met expectations. I can feel the baker's dedication at Yan's as each cake uses fresh ingredients and made to order. My other favorite cake would be the Raspberry Chantilly Cake from Whole Foods, though pre-made, that cake also shares same success elements of awesome fresh cake ingredients and impeccable tasting cream. No ambiance factor to comment because this is a bakery dedicated to making custom cake orders for birthday or weddings so there is no fancy decor in shop. I didn't find other baked goods sold here and no dine-in option for coffee. Located in a strip mall so there's free parking available when picking up cakes...convenient and free parking is always a plus in Vancouver! All in all, Helen is a good business owner with great attention to detail, she and her husband makes a good team in ensuring cakes are prepared well and ready for on time pickup - granting them 5 stars for both food and service.
