If you’re craving doughnuts, then there’s no place that can satisfy quite as thoroughly as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Trafiq Café & Bakery West Vancouver Review

on May 3, 2012 in Cafe, Coffee Shops, Dessert, French, West Vancouver

French-inspired Trafiq Café & Bakery is a neighbourhood favourite located on Marine Drive in West Vancouver. We really enjoyed our visit to Trafiq’s newer sister cafe on Main Street a while ago, so we wanted to visit the original location to see how it would compare. Also a licensed establishment, this Trafiq has similar bistro [...]

Baguette & Co Review – French Bakery And Coffee House In Kitsilano

on February 7, 2012 in Breakfast, Cafe, Coffee Shops, Dessert, Kitsilano

We absolutely adore Faubourg in Kerrisdale and find ourselves there quite often, either dining in their Bistro for brunch or enjoying a few of their sinfully good pastries.
