I especially loved the cereal milk, it was crunchy from the cornflakes, soft and airy donut, and the cream wasn't heavy at all and tasted so much like cereal milk. Their matcha was pretty good too! It was smooth, creamy, & sweet, no notes of being grassy or astringent. We ended up coming back to try more. The pb&j donut was delicious tasted like a light airy uncrustable. The everything bagel was basically an everything bagel but airy light donut consistency but with more of a sweet and savory cream cheese taste. It's a big yes highly recommend for me!

It was light and airy yet still had an incredible chew to it. The glaze was the perfect thickness and perfect sweetness. I could've housed a dozen of these bad boys on my own. I also tried two of the cake donuts: the glazed cake and the peanut. They were fine. The peanut was at least a novelty that I've not had before, but the cake batter itself was a little too dense for my preference. It was $10 for 3 donuts which is definitely on the pricey side, but honestly I would pay that again and again for their yeast donuts.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

The drive itself led us to an incredible bay that genuinely felt like we'd been transported to Alaska--calm, wild, and breathtaking--and then there was this cozy little gem waiting for us. Any place named after a dog and so welcoming to dogs instantly wins my heart. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even though the place was bustling with happy locals and travelers alike. Every pastry in the case looked beautiful and tempting, making it nearly impossible to choose. The coffee, though--absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what you want on a crisp morning adventure. Goldie's felt like one of those special finds you don't plan for but remember long after. If you're anywhere nearby, it's a must-stop.

I was in need of a pick me up while visiting the Gastown Steam Clock and figured I'd grab a donut from Lee's which is right across the street. There is an overwhelming amount of unique flavors and all of which I would have loved to try. I opted for the matcha and German chocolate donut and wow! I had no idea Canada was known for donuts but I can now understand why. The donuts are super light and airy which I prefer. The reason I don't care for donuts at least in the US is because they're always so dense but it was the complete opposite here. The donuts at Lee's also had a nice crispiness on the outside which added a nice texture. They are also not overly sweet and had great flavor! I especially love the location of this shop because you can do some souvenir shopping on this street and get your pictures of the steam clock. Had I known about this place earlier in my trip I would have loved to come back a second time but at least now I know for the next time that I visit Vancouver. Can't wait to come back for these donuts!

Knowing how good 49th Parallel is with coffee I thought I'd try their version of the London Fog. I wasn't disappointed. In fact it was best London Fog I've ever had. I've had them at other places but I've never seen a preparation like 49th. They use loose leaf Earl Gray tea in a tall paper tea bag. They put the bag in your cup pour the steamed milk in and the tea steeps right into the milk. It's the smoothest London Fog I've had and isn't cloyingly sweet like many I've had.

We stopped by 49th Parallel Coffee in Vancouver and it was the first thing we ate after flying in…read moreearlier that morning. I was in need of a snack and this was a short walk from our hotel. 49th Parallel is well known for their thoughtfully sourced, house-roasted coffees and their cult-favorite donuts, but they also offer a small menu of sandwiches if you're looking for something more filling. It wasn't too busy when we got there, though most of the tables were taken. We ordered a mix of sweet and savory: the chestnut brûlée donut, a salted caramel old fashioned, and a couple of breakfast sandwiches--the Doug and the Cascadia--both served on soft, buttery brioche buns. My other half also grabbed an Americano to go with it all. The chestnut brûlée donut was my fav of the bunch. The chestnut flavor was perfectly balanced--nice and light. The sandwiches were also good, especially thanks to that pillowy soft brioche. Overall, 49th Parallel was the perfect stop for a small, simple snack! Would recommend.

Coffee and lattes were good however and the toasted ham and cheese sandwich was also good. TLDR: Ambience: crowded. FOOD: Average. I'd have preferred we stopped elsewhere.

They have a range of filled donuts, "fancy donuts" which are iced with additional toppings, and your regular iced donuts, long johns, fritter of the day, and this cream filled pastry type. I ordered 6 various items for $21. It was all jammed in to a box that was a touch too small, and, as a result, there was some icing casualties. They accept credit card. Ol' Blue Eyes - cake donut with blueberry icing. Donut was super soft. You could taste a hint of blueberry in the icing. Raspberry lemon - also a cake donut. Very lemony, but way too sweet. I couldn't finish it. Apple fritter - nice taste and texture, but a little too cheap on the apple. The Homer - regular donut with pink icing and sprinkles. My daughter had this, so I can't comment on it. She polished off all the icing, so I assume it was good. These don't last well the next day, so eat them the same day that you buy them. Service is pretty friendly. Free parking in lot out front.
