After trying one of Tracy's goodies, you will agree that she has certainly mastered another form of baking. Lemonade is just as delightful in atmosphere as it is in flavor and we think you're going to love this spot. It's hard to pick just one thing to have from the menu that consists of breads, cakes, pastries and more.

Cartems Donuterie is changing Vancouver's donut scene. It's well known that Canadians love their donuts, but Cartems is adding flavorful twists to what you would typically see on a donut menu.

Before opening Beaucoup, Jackie Kai Ellis closed her design firm and made a bold move to go and study French pastry making at Paris' École Gastronomique Bellouet Conseil. Since opening in 2012, Beaucoup continues to be a go-to place to indulge amongst locals. The variety of croissants are handmade with plenty of butter and are perfectly crisp, yet flaky on the outside and buttery and light on the inside. When it comes to cookies, Beaucoup Bakery doesn't mess around. Make sure to try the chocolate rosemary cookie. It's fudge-like texture and unique flavor combination make it a winner. If you're ready to go all in, the peanut butter sandwich cookie has your name on it. While it's big enough to share, you probably won't want to. The seasonal tarts and treats never disappoint and offer something new to try.
