Update since my last visit…read more Love this bakery and cafe. They have a good selection of drinks, bakery items, and sandwiches. Can get busy and some wait for your order - it's a popular place. Love their earl grey and pistachio donuts. These are flavors that aren't common at other places. Big plus is that this location is 24 hours! Was across the street from our hotel, so was very convenient whenever we needed a snack or small bite.

So glad we came when we did because this place gets very busy!…read more Food and drinks were excellent. I ordered a cappuccino and it wasn't a traditional one, but it was still good. Tried the pistachio donut which was amazing and fluffy. We also got the steak and cheese panini and a French toast sandwich. Personally, due to the cheese and ham being very limited in the French toast sandwich; the sweetness was overpowering. The steak and cheese panini was delicious but I would prefer that it was warmer on inside.

I ordered the regular 70% hot chocolate with cow's milk and a bit of whip cream. Maybe i should have gone for the drinking chocolate but my drink simply was not nearly chocolates enough. I had such high hopes when i walked in since the place has a wonderful chocolate aroma but my drink was very average. I would put it on par with the hot cocoa at Starbucks. No place to sit inside but there is a bench outside.

This place is tucked into an alley on Granville Island. It's very easy to miss unless you're…read morewandering around that stretch and happen to turn your head and look down the alley. It's right beside the Performance Works building. I don't know how long this shop has been here, but in all my life I've never noticed this place until now. I happened to have just come out of an afternoon show at Performance Works and as I was walking away from the Performance Works building, I happened to turn my head and see this shop, so decided to check it out. They're a small shop/ workshop that does tours which teach how chocolate is made. When you walk in, you can smell chocolate in the air. The lady in the shop offered some samples of their chocolate. I tried their Tanduay Rum chocolate and their Earl Grey Tea chocolate. According to their website their chocolate is award winning. To be honest though, I wasn't blown away by what I tasted. It wasn't bad but it also didn't taste to me like it was award winning chocolate. I noticed a sign though that said they had a drink which was part of the Koolfest. This is a new festival that started this year and is a celebration of cold drink creations from vendors of the annual Hot Chocolate Festival. Kasama's creation was a Filipino Cacao Husk & Kape Cold Brew with Vanilla Cinnamon Syrup and Ube Cold Foam. I hadn't had any Koolfest drinks yet, this one sounded appealing and to be honest...I'm the kind of person who tends to feel guilty about taking free samples and then not buying anything! So...having sampled the Tanduay Rum and Early Grey Tea chocolates, I decided to buy a Koolfest drink. Not much of a coffee person usually. This might be only the second time I've ever ordered a cold brew drink. I very much enjoyed this drink! For me to enjoy a coffee beverage, it has to be sweet and this one was sweet...but not excessively sweet. I loved the Vanilla Cinnamon flavor in it. It really hit the spot.

I loved their pastry and absolute creativity with the cream puffs. They were both gorgeous works of art, and a delicious treat that was not too sweet!

Space/location The space is on the smaller side, so it's not ideal for large groups, but it's cozy and inviting, with a few counter seats inside and some patio seating outside. Food and Drinks: The food and service are consistently good, and compared to many other cafés and patisseries, it offers excellent value for money. The hot chocolate and coffee are standout. The lady behind the machine clearly knows what they're doing, because every cup is spot on. The sandwiches can be a bit hit or miss, but our recent visits have been great. The smoked salmon croissant is served cold (they always check if that's okay), and even so, it's one of my favorites. The portobello sandwich, served warm, is also rich and full of flavor. And the cakes and pastries? Dangerous in the best way possible. The kind that keeps you coming back to North Van "just one more time." :)

Excellent coffee, perfect croissants, pull-aparts and other Vienoisserie. Just spectacular 'chocolate everything.' Very quick service, even with their usual long line up. Excellent sandwiches and soup for lunch! Friendly staff and an excellent, efficient barista. 3 cheers for the bakers and chocolatiers back-of-house. In the kitchen. A wonderful team enterprise. I appreciate the expansion of outdoor seating; they could never provide enough for the crowds they attract. We often take our coffee and treats or lunch to the Park - only steps away.
