Best Cake Places in Vancouver

"A warm and roomy corner on Vancouver’s bustling Main Street, Trafiq Bakery & Cafe makes for a perfect spot to drop by for a coffee break, breakfast or lunch… or to be straightforward, their insanely good Salted Caramel Cake and Matcha Tart. Trafiq specializes in their own variety of house-made buttery croissants, pastries, sandwiches and bread, but it’s the above two that are breaking the ceiling. If a single salted caramel cake is not enough for you, they even cater tiered cakes (6” cake on top of a 10” one)."

"Not only does Trafiq create the most charmingly aesthetic cakes, but they have flavours so fulfilling you’ll find yourself coming back every week to try out a new one!. With a friendly, responsive staff and each cake layer oozing with taste, Mount Pleasant’s Trafiq is one of our favourite places to get our baked goodies from."

"A post shared by Alana Yee (@yvreats) on Feb 25, 2018 at 8:35pm PST. Trafiq’s multi-layered cakes are loved by Vancouverites and they come in a variety of flavours. Try their signature salted caramel, drizzled with homemade caramel sauc,e or the carrot cake, which is iced with a decadent cream cheese frosting."

"Known for their cheesecake, this 18-year old Kitsilano bakery uses real ingredients (no artificial stabilizers, colours or flavours) that are sourced locally when possible. Sweet Obsession is essentially zero waste with an on-site composter. Customization of cakes, which range from 10” to 16”, is quite simple (extra fruit, different masking), but a personalized message can be added at no charge."

"Seriously, we cannot be expected to pick just one–not when the selections include Hedgehog (hazelnut and chocolate with Frangelico), Chocolate Obsession (chocolate truffle), Carrot cake with roasted hazelnuts, or Roasted Coconut Chiffon…just to name a few.

"Venturing out to the west side of Vancouver, this almond croissant was the cheapest non-Starbucks variant, but it came at a price. Rise was probably the best point of this croissant with just a few gaps in layering. Look closely though, and notice the lack of almond paste either on top or within the croissant."

"Ganache, as the name suggests, offers a little bit of Parisian elegance in the heart of Yaletown. Visit this talented team of artisans to enjoy eye-catching desserts that are pretty enough to provide a wow factor, and delicious enough to keep you coming back. Individual strawberry and rhubarb cheesecakes taste like a fresh summer’s day; these enchanting edibles feature an almond biscotti base, a tart strawberry balsamic glaze and a white chocolate garnish."

"Uniquely designed and handcrafted by a team of pastry chefs, the menu at Ganache is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly. The one consistent theme at Ganache is French technique with subtle Asian influences running throughout each of their incredible delicious pastries."

"Similar to my complaints about JJ Bean's croissant being too buttery, the almond croissant at Ganache was too sweet for me. The almond paste was extra moist and each bite felt more doughy than flaky. Almost no rise to speak of here, either, which is too many red flags for $5."

"Everyone talks about the double bake from Thomas Haas, but what if I told you there was a cheaper double bake option, and at least in a case-by-case comparison in my analysis, that came from a newer entrant in the Vancouver almond croissant scene?. While the almond paste was a little on the short side, it feels like the intention here was to showcase the mastery in flakiness and overall croissant mastery. The folds here were immaculate to say the least and the rise was off the charts relative to everything else on this list."

"We are an independent bakery specializing in naturally leavened sourdough bread and French inspired pastries. We believe in making everything from scratch, with fresh, high quality ingredients. All of our breads are made with whole grains and baked"

"Ladurée is a famous French bakery that’s all about their macarons. Their Vancouver shop was the first location in Canada, and you can find all kinds of delicious treats and drinks. The macarons are the perfect mix of slightly crunchy on the outside and decadently soft on the inside, and they’re so good."

"Vancouver was lucky enough to be the first Canadian home of Ladurée back in 2016. While the French sweet shop was best known for their macarons, they have since introduced a line of perfectly Parisian cakes and pastries that are so dainty and so cute that you’ll almost question devouring them (almost)."

"Enter the lobby of the RBC Royal Bank at the corner of Georgia and Burrard streets, and head up the escalator that's directly in front of you. At the top you'll find one of the largest First Nations artworks in Western Canada. Measuring 98ft (30m) long and 8ft (2.5m) high, the nine carved and painted red cedar panels of the spectacular 'Ksan Mural cover an entire wall of the building."

"One of the oldest and largest museums in Canada, Vancouver was established in 1894. Museums of Vancouver was founded by Art, Historical, and Scientific Association of Vancouver. If you want to know about the cultural, human and natural history of the city from ancient times to modern times you should visit this museum as it organizes a lot of exhibitions."

"Use the False Creek ferry service to visit Vanier Park, where you'll find the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver Maritime Museum or HR MacMillan Space Centre Places to stay in Granville Island"

"On June 13, 1886, there was the Great Vancouver Fire, which took many buildings with it. The Hastings Mill Store was left untouched, leaving it to be Vancouver's oldest building. It wasn't originally at this location, but was built in Gastown and was saved from demolition and put on a barge to it's current location."

"The oldest building that is still surviving in Vancouver is the Hastings Mill Store. It was once located on the South shore of the Burrard Inlet. Built in 1865 and dedicated to Captain Edward Stamp, Hastings Mill Store was used as a sawmill company under Edward’s possession."

"Bistro Wagon Rouge is the sister restaurant to Red Wagon, a popular brunch spot in Vancouver, but the only things they have in common are great food and reasonable prices. Bistro Wagon Rouge is a blue collar French restaurant in East Vancouver. It's the epitome of a neighborhood restaurant-its cozy atmosphere, daily specials, and great service have attracted a following of regulars."

Sink your teeth into their classic pulled pork pancakes $15, where you get three buttermilk pancakes layered with pulled pork and topped off with syrup."

"Red Wagon may be new to dinner service, but the staple spot in Vancouver is no stranger to killer brunch eats. Now at a new East Hastings Street location, you can find flapjacks in buttermilk and pulled pork varieties on this menu. Address: 2128 East Hastings Street, VancouverPhone: 604-568-4565"

"The famous American fast food started their work back in 1995. They are very reasonable fast food due to their low prices and delicious food. They serve burgers, chicken burgers, and even delicious ice-cream and shakes."

"We couldn’t write a list of the best donuts in Vancouver without including this absolute titan. We’re not going to sit here and say it’s off the charts, flavour-wise. But, there’s no denying that Duffin’s is a magical place in Vancouver, has a tremendous range of donuts to choose from, and the best value in the city by far."

"A post shared by Duffins Donuts (@duffins_donuts) on Jul 4, 2017 at 8:45am PDT. A hidden Vancouver gem, Duffin’s is open 24 hours a day and has an enticing menu full of cheap eats. Their subs sell for less than $5, they have an all-day breakfast for $4.75, and of course, fresh doughnuts."

"Their 30-year run of fresh baked and prepared in-house donuts has made them a Vancouver staple. They offer 50 varieties and also serve fried chicken, Chinese food, and torta subs and are open 24 hours a day. What more could you ask of donut shop?"
