Best Dessert in Burnaby

"Frenchman and former Le Gavroche pastry chef Thierry Busset is the chef patron of Thierry, a brilliant patisserie/cafe/chocolatier and lunch spot downtown. Sit on the sunny terrace while you scoff his delectable salted caramel macaroons (£1.23 each) or sink into one of the sumptuous cakes or seasonal tarts made by his wife and co-pastry chef Alison and their team. At lunch, try one of the gourmet baguettes (created by local fine-dining restaurant West's renowned chef Quang Dang), such as the cold smoked sockeye salmon with cucumber and caper cream cheese (£2.71 for half/£5.45 full)."

"Thierry is best known for their fine French pastries, but expert baristas and an organic, fair trade espresso blend, designed by Casa del Caffe’s Vincent Gentile, ensure consistently good coffee, too. Their beans are dry roasted to ensure freshness and a unique taste profile that’s strong and smooth with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and spice. Late night coffee drinkers will appreciate Thierry’s close time of 12am, and spiked drinks are available, too."

"So if you’re in the mood for a pastry or chocolate you can head here and enjoy it on their outdoor patio. And that sounds like a pretty ideal fall activity if you ask us. Where: 1059 Alberni StreetHours: Mon-Thursday 8 am-10 pm, Friday & Saturday 8 am-11 pm, Sunday 9 am-10 pm"

"Uno Gelato is brought to Vancouver by James Coleridge, one of the world’s most decorated gelato maestros. You can dig into original flavours such as Canadian Maple Hazelnut or Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake, all made with fresh local, organic ingredients. Who could possibly resist a scoop (or two!) of this?"

"Italian style gelato and sorbetto made fresh daily from scratch, embracing a “farm-to-cone” philosophy. You won’t find bubblegum flavoured gelato, but you will find year-round favourites as well as seasonal creations using the very best natural ingredients available."

"Globally feted Vancouver gelato maestro James Coleridge has reinvented his business with a cool new brand and an endlessly tempting array of perfectly executed flavors. The menu changes with the seasons but often... Top ChoiceFrench in Gastown & Chinatown"

"Breka Bakery & Cafe is set to be “coming soon” to Main Street, according to signage at the new location. The popular destination is known for offering up delicious baked goods and savoury eats 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Breka’s logo is plastered on the windows and door at 4554 Main Street, which is located just a few blocks from Sula’s newly opened restaurant."

"A post shared by Breka Bakery & Café (@brekabakery) on Jul 19, 2019 at 4:14pm PDT. How can you really go wrong with a bakery cafe open 24/7?.

"The delicious street food option of The Praguery has cones stuffed with different sweet or savory fillings that will have you going crazy. Typically more of a dessert place with fillings with ice cream and toppings like chocolate, berries, or strudel, it also has savory cones. The savory cones include mainly pulled pork with different toppings such as pineapple salsa, bavarian cabbage, and coleslaw."

"A post shared by The Praguery (@thepraguery) on Jul 14, 2020 at 11:19am PDT. The Praguery offers a traditional, Eastern European dessert similar to a chimney cake that tastes better with ice cream in it. The cones are freshly baked and you can choose from a variety of different flavours."

"Why wait until the PNE to enjoy giant dough cones filled with ice cream?. The Praguery truck brings the treats to the streets instead, specializing in Czech Chimney Cakes. The cones are filled with soft serve and your choice of toppings and add-ons, like Nutella and Lemon Curd."

"A post shared by Minn 🇰🇷 | Let's Eat Van 🇨🇦 (@minn._.pixels) on Jun 19, 2018 at 11:54pm PDT. Try out liquid nitrogen ice cream at this eatery. Using liquid nitrogen helps create the ice cream faster and it often has a smoother, creamier texture than traditional ice cream."

"A post shared by Ice Cream, Catering & Events (@bucketsicecream) on May 12, 2020 at 4:00pm PDT. This place has got buckets of ice cream to satisfy your dessert tastebuds. Buckets offers all the classics and then some, and even some vegan options."

"Located in the heart of Vancouver’s traditional ‘Little Italy’ on Commercial Drive, Gelateria Dolce Amore is a family-owned and operated gelateria with neighborhood roots that are four generations deep. Dolce Amore’s gelato makers combine the creativity of an artist, the inspiration of a chef, the discipline of a craftsman, the precision of an architect, and the passion of a composer to handcraft the shop’s incredible gelatos and sorbettos. Their commitment to this special artisan craft is evident in every taste."

"Move over fancy cupcakes and designer doughnuts – pies are making a comeback. A new generation of young bakers are shaking things up with fun shops and innovative flavours that will satisfy the most modern palate, and classic pie shops continue to deliver the quality that has kept them in business for decades. No matter what kind of pie you’re craving, here’s where to find the perfect slice."

"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"

"Our waterfront Vancouver restaurant, ARC, is the perfect West Coast Setting to enjoy urban artisan food. Made with locally sourced ingredients, some from our very own rooftop herb garden and beehives, our food is rivaled only by our stunning harbour and..."

"A post shared by CAFÉ ÇA VA (@cafecavawestvan) on Jun 30, 2017 at 8:29pm PDT. You are going to swoon over Cafe Ca Va’s white marble tables, deep royal blue chairs, and gold crystal chandeliers. The modern French menu is packed with bold rich flavours and a rotating dessert menu."

"A post shared by vancouver style 👄 (@vancouver__style) on Feb 24, 2018 at 3:02pm PST. Purebread’s pastry display is legendary and so are their rustic birthday cakes. Each comes in their numerous classic flavours like the hummingbird, coconut, chocolate, lemon, and carrot."

"This brilliant blue corrugated steel shack beside False Creek regularly serves up a variety of fried fish including cod, salmon and halibut. Each serving is accompanied by crispy chips and a tangy slaw with a hint of Asian dressing. On any given day you'll find devotees lining up to order and sit at the outdoor picnic tables that create the "dining room" - even when the temperature dips!"

"I reckon these are better than most fish & chips I've had in England seeing as we have access to fresher fish (just saying)."
