Lucky’s Doughnuts – Chocolate Old Fashioned and Coconut Bismark

“Wanna get lucky?”… before you get the wrong idea, I’m talking about Lucky’s Doughnuts.

Amber’s Choice Cafe

Amber’s Choice Cafe is a small little shop located just a couple of blocks from the Burnaby-New West border.  In addition to making everything in-house from scratch, they also have a catering service as well.

Macaron Day 2013

So, apparently there’s a whole day dedicated to macarons and that day was today.  I’m not sure why I like macarons… perhaps it’s a subliminal thing since I like macaroni and cheese so much?  Hmmm… macaron and cheese?  Could that be the next big food trend?

The Pie Shoppe – Smallest Pie Shop in Vancouver?

Late last year, The Pie Shoppe opened up in a little nook located in Chinatown.  If you walk along Gore Street, you couldn’t be blamed for missing this little shop next to Lok’s Produce.

The Pie Hole – Savory and Sweet Pies

As I mentioned on my last post on The Mighty Oak, one of the main reasons for visiting was to pick up fresh baked pies from The Pie Hole in Vancouver.  There’s a few other places that they supply and your best bet right now is to check their twitter feed @pieholevan as they usually tweet when they make deliveries.

The Mighty Oak – More Than Just a Grocery Store

After finishing off an early morning meal at Slickity Jim’s, I headed down to 18th and Columbia to an interesting corner store called The Mighty Oak.

Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery – When Life Gives You Lemons…

During our visit to U & I Thai on Cambie last December, we noticed a bakery across the street had recently opened up.  The thing that made us take notice was that it was a gluten free bakery.  I know… that’s like a Thai restaurant without curry.

Cupcakes (Thurlow) – Christmas Cupcakes

Last Christmas, my sweetie surprised me with some special Christmas cupcakes from the Cupcakes location on Thurlow.

Bella Cakes & Pastries

The first time I drove through the Sapperton area of New Westminster, the first thought to hit me was how the main thoroughfare (East Columbia Street) reminded me of the “Main Street” of a quaint little town in the middle of nowhere.  Sapperton was named after the Royal Engineers, Columbia Detachment (known as Sappers) who had barracks nearby. 

Valley Bakery – Apple Fritter in the Heights

Many years ago (long before the interweb was readily available to the public), we’d occasionally stop by Valley Bakery for a special treat.  Since we don’t live in the area, we don’t get to visit this North Burnaby gem very often and usually wind up at Bon Bon Bakery instead.

Kam Do Bakery – “Old Lady Cakes”

After hitting up Bob’s Submarine Shop in Richmond, I noticed the bright signs of Kam Do Bakery across the street (next to the Shoppers Drug Mart at Richmond Centre).  This location is much more convenient than their other location on Alexandra Road since it is so close to the Brighouse Canada Line station.

Cakeaters Edible Art – Cupcakes

It’s been a little over a year since Cakeaters opened up their little shop in Champlain Heights so I’m assuming their business is going okay.  As I mentioned on my last post, this particular location was a revolving door for different shops that have come and gone over the years so it’s nice that there’s a little stability for now.
