Best French Bakery in White Rock

"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."

"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."

"I love having this after a heavy meal — they have a variety of desserts but my favourite is the durian and mango with sago. A lot of people don’t like durian but as a fellow Singaporean, I love it!"

"Pick up a package of almond tuiles from St. Germain Bakery, a Chinese bakery at Oakridge that you should not pass by without stopping. Excellent with tea, they have a sandy, crumbly texture that makes them perfect for you, and a sweet nutty taste that kids will love. Unit 137, Oakridge Centre, 650 West 41st Avenue, Vancouver"

"For a hyped up bakehouse, you're probably thinking I'm crazy for ranking this croissant so low. Truth is, this is a good almond croissant, but it's for someone who wants the least amount of sugar in a croissant. Now I'm all for keeping sugar intake in check, but I'm of the mindset that when I'm digging into an almond croissant, I'm in for a sweet experience."

"The first is LA Chicken, a modest-looking food corner, where you get a perfect, prominent-enough dish of juicy and crispy chicken. A true gem tucked away in Richmond. Another place where they prepare top-notch chicken wings, intricately-marinated and golden-colored, is at Wu Fung Dessert."

"In partnership with London-based developer, McArthurGlen Group, the Vancouver Airport Authority has developed the luxury designer outlet centre on Vancouver International Airport (YVR) land.

"While you’re in Richmond, grab a deal at McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, where you can stroll the outdoor mall and find top fashion brands at significant discount. And with almost half of the population claiming Asian ancestry, Richmond is a fantastic place for food!. Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese – you’ll find all cuisines here."

"This Italian-inspired coffee shop by day, tapas and wine spot by night, serves up 49th Parallel Coffee and some amazing food (Italian nachos, please). Grab yourself a coffee and one of their Breakfast Sammy’s — you won’t regret it. Address: 1858 Commercial Drive, VancouverPhone: 604-428-4092"

"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."
