We couldn't even here our server unless they were yelling. It's nearly impossible to make conversation with our table mates. The food was good, but a bit pricey. We got nachos to share for $10 but the serving size isn't very big. We also got the tacos which came out to be around an additional $25 per person, not including tax and tip. It tasted good, but the portions were not very big. Expect to spend a lot to be full.

Always love getting sushi from here because they have a good variety and it's ready to go! For a…read morequick lunch or for a get together, it's easy to swing by and grab some of their premade boxes. And for premade sushi, the rice is usually still soft and the ingredients fresh. My personal favourite is the scallop rice bowl! There's parking on the side, but if it's full, you can circle around the block too for free street parking. The parking lot cars usually circle out pretty fast thought if you're ok to wait a little bit.

If friends or family are going to Fujiya, you best believe I'll be there…read more I visit a couple times in a year and am always excited to browse the selections they have. Sometimes I lock in on one specific pantry ingredient I want to try cooking with, and lo and behold, Fujiya has it. Dashi, teas, dressings, seaweed, you name it. Their prepared food section is also quite extensive and in the year of 2026, it's still super affordable especially for bento and rolls imo. Sushi rolls would be 1.5 to 2x the price elsewhere. Veg, meats, frozen section I can't speak much for, but notable offerings include: shiso leaves, sakura ebi (whole and flakes), tempura, takoyaki, sashimi loins. If you're making anything japanese, you should be able to find everything you need right here!

The beef donair pita I had was quite filling. I was happy.

I've been coming to elephant garden creamery for quite a few years now. My all time favourite is…read moretheir mango coconut sticky rice ice cream - dairy free, vegan, and absolutely amazing. However, recently their July rotational flavours really blew my friends and I away, so much that my friends have come 3 times in the last week. Their fresh mango ice cream was absolutely amazing, great flavour and not too sweet. I also really liked the lilikoi cheesecake. Who can resist passion fruit and cheesecake in a creamy ice cream? We decided to also try the float since it already contained a scoop of mango ice cream and it was super yummy! The mango at the bottom mixed perfectly with the sticky rice and coconut and it wasn't too thick despite having all those ingredients and the ice cream. There is some seating inside their cute little store, but due to summer, it can get quite busy on nice days and peak hours. The line up can also get quite hefty so I recommend coming during non peak hours (e.g. weekdays and on rainy/cloudy days) if you don't like to wait.

There's also no taste sampling allowed. The flavors were good - we got fresh mango and aloha rocky road. The mango one was delicious and tasted like real mango. The rocky road one wasn't spectacular and was more like just normal chocolate ice cream with some chocolate and marshmallow pieces. The place is very clean though and there is seating on the inside. There's a public bathroom on the inside.

Small but gives a cozy vibe. Depending on the day, seating might be limited.

Modern, contemporary design with plenty of warm woods. Tho its my first time here, my friend spent almost half her visits to Commercial Drive at this cafe. Initially we were just going for gelato, as there are some unique flavour offerings. I was SO happy to have chosen the honey-lavender. AND I could not leave without buying their gorgeous massive pecan caramel rolls! Took one home (gave the other to my friend) & was able to eat it across a few days. I was amazed how well it kept! Forgot to take a pic before I dove into it. Next time! (find me on Instagram via @aida.loves ) Will obviously be back...

I'd say Mundo's croissant type baked goods is a toss up in the top 3 at the moment. Mundo is on my list for whenever I need to cake up for future events. I had an individual sized chocolate cake and it did not skimp on the ingredients. They know how to make and store icing here. The cake was so moist that it wasn't sloppy. Very well done.

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.

I tried the Cinnamon rolls too - I loved that the server made sure I got the more desirable middle pieces rather than the corners. Passionfruit white chocolate croissant cube (5/5) Cinnamon roll (3/5) - it was a bit more on the denser drier side despite microwaving it slightly to try to warm & revive the texture. The icing topping was ok. I had to remind myself that this was a VEGAN bakery. So no butter or eggs, which is extremely impressive to execute the pastries and creamy filling to the texture that they did. Definitely would come back for their feature pastries!

I also got the passionfruit cheesecake which was out of this world. The bakery itself is pretty small and there are only a few places to sit, but the cheesecake slices themselves are circular and just enough for you to get a decent taste without overdoing it. The service is friendly, and they were very helpful with helping us choose the cheesecakes Ambience, wise, it is nothing to rave about, but it is not bad either. Highly recommend this place if you want cheesecake

Now, they have 2 locations on Commercial drive and in Port moody. I got several kinds of cheese cakes for Thanksgiving gathering. What we got: Classic Vanilla, Espresso, Earl grey, Mango, Passion fruits, Pumpkin spice, Chocolate, Houjicha, Birthday, Salted caramel, oreo, Peanut butter, It was good deal - buy 5 get 1 free. I could not have all flavor, Most of them went to other guest. I got Houjicha, and a little bit of salted caramel. Texture was as always rich and firm. I felt flavor was a bit weak for houjicha, still it was very delicious. Salted caramel was great, strong caramel flavor. I labeled flavor name on the top of cheesecake, so, all guest were so curious about all flavors. Birthday cake, mango, oreo, were popular between kids, adult prefer earl grey salted caramel, others. Overall, it was a lot of fun to share variety of cheese cake! I highly recommend to get them for occasion or for yourself.
