Also, go early so that you have more bun options - they do sell out of certain flavors the later it gets. Luckily we were still able to get the two that we wanted which were black sesame and a custard buns. They were not only super cute, but they were really delicious as well. The fillings were very strong in flavor and did not disappoint. There was enough searing when I went. Next time I will have to try their coconut drinks and desserts!

Saw this shop while walking around the busy street so I decided to give it a try. It was empty when…read moreI walked in so my drink did not take long to come out. This spot had no ac so it was quite hot and humid when I was inside so I did not stay for long. I got their mad mango as the staff informed that it's their best seller, I did get overwhelmed by their menu selection lolll they had so many things listed on their menu!! I didn't think fresh mango and coconut would be a good mix together but it was surprisingly good very refreshing but for a drink to be $12 I think this spot would be a pass for me.

Hell yeah. First time in Vancouver and we stumbled upon this place just near our Airbnb. Their…read moredonuts are sooooo good. 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!

So off we went the next morning to Thierry. We are so grateful for the recommendation, as we ate breakfast/brunch there for the next three days that we were in Vancouver. We especially loved the Drinking Chocolate, Croque Monsieur, Vanilla Latte, chocolates, and everything that we tried! We wish Thierry were near us! When we plan our return trip to Vancouver, Thierry will be our breakfast place! Thank you to the staff who were so helpful, and thank you for the delicious EVERYTHING!!

Nero Belgian Waffle Bar completely changed my mind about savory waffles…read more I am not usually a savory waffle person at all, but the version here was absolutely delicious and incredibly tasty. The texture of the waffle itself was flawless--perfectly crunchy on the outside, yet wonderfully soft on the inside.

Best waffle ever -- honestly even better than the ones I had in Belgium…read more Ordered the salmon & poached egg waffle and the fruit waffle, both were amazing. Perfect texture and so flavorful.

Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. 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!

And right now (not sure until when) they have a giant sandpit installed in the middle of their store. If you spend $25, you get to play with their toy excavator.

Waaah I loved this place! Vancouver, how lucky you are to have Konbiniya!…read more Walking into this place felt a little bit like being transported into Japan. I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here. Definitely came across items I've never seen before like a Takoyaki flavored Ramune. It was extremely discounted just fyi probably for good reason. They even had Japanese canned drinks stored hot like in Japan! The take away Japanese desserts also looked good. This place is right on Robson street so a great place to grab a snack, drink, pick me up while shopping. Prices seemed reasonable. One caveat is that it can get busy in here and the aisles are small so it felt a little crowded but that's sort of like Japan as well lol so not a big deal for me. Added to the ambience. Checkout was quick and easy!

It sounds crowded - and it is - but once you push your way to the back of the store, you'll find a tiny Japan tour travel agency and a shelf of clearance items at rock-bottom prices. Service is cheerful, personable and brisk. The store also houses a takeaway crepe and ice cream shop - the crepes are actually better than the ones I've had in Tokyo.
