Thomas Haas is a class act who has both supplemented and complemented his business with great teams, and phenomenal food items that tantalize your tastebuds like a parade of flavors dancing in your mouth. I was fortunate enough to meet him in 2020 and interact with this award winning chef and his smiling good staff. His croissants are the highest quality and much more. His upbeat sparkling personality and core values speaks volumes of his successes. Thank you guys, you rock. My spouse said, omg, many times when she ate the croissants. Kerwin Maude, b.a. & family.
Always fresh pastries and bakery items, unlike many other pastries places where they make a ton of things and their dessert goes dries when left out for too long. Thomas Haas makes enough for the day they're open.
We arrived there just before they were closed, so we didn’t have many choices. I guess the popular pastries we wanted to try were already sold out. Still got some nice stuff. The staff there are really nice too. My kids and I loved and finished everything I bought. We were so happy to go there and enjoyed our little moment ;)
One of my go-to places for relaxing with a nice cup of Americano. So smooth!!! Tastes amazing right down to the very last sip!!! Their chocolates and pastries are delicious too! I would rank this place one of my top three cafe's in Vancouver. The other two being: 49th Parallel and Milanos. Definitely a must try for visitors from out of town and those who appreciate great quality. You can really tell, Mr. Haas and his friendly staff are passionate about their: Coffee, Chocolates and Pastries.
Being really popular, this little cafe can get quite busy. However, lineups go by fairly smoothly and quickly. Seating is limited. They do have a covered patio for those sunny afternoons. It doesn't always rain in Vancouver!!! :P
Highly recommended! Excellent quality! You'll leave their place feeling better! What are you waiting for? Just go!!! :)

This place comes highly recommended for those who like baked goods. My friend told me to get the almond croissant, and it was heavenly. Not too sweet, buttery and light in the centre but flaky and delicate on the outside. We also got macarons, a pistachio cherry tart and hazelnut praline cake slice. I would definitely return to get another almond croissant, but I hear the sandwiches are also worthy of consumption.

This is an extremely popular cafe/chocolatier in Kits famous for their double baked croissants, which many consider to be the best in all of Vancouver. After my latest trip to their shop, where I got their Double Baked Chocolate Almond Croissant, I have to say that I can't argue with those that think they're the best; the croissant was pure perfection. I also had their Hazelnut Praline cake, which was also splendid. Their prices are quite high unfortunately, but you're certainly paying for quality here. So if you don't mind spending a bit more money, I highly recommend that you check this place out: it does live up to the hype!
Double Baked Chocolate Almond Croissant ($5.60):
5/5
There are many who consider this to be the best croissant in Vancouver, and I really can't argue with them. This croissant is perfection: shatteringly crisp on the outside, rich, buttery and melt-in-your mouth on the inside. They weren't stingy with the chocolate either; there were 3 small bars of high-quality chocolate on the inside, as well as a streak of chocolate flakes outside. Even though I've had some great croissants from places like Chez Christophe and L'atelier, I have to say that Thomas Haas still reigns supreme.
Hazelnut Praline ($6.20):
4.5/5
This consisted of layers of cake and hazelnut mousse, with a crispy wafer on the bottom, and as coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate. This was a fantastic interplay between textures and flavours. The mousse had a wonderful hazelnut flavour, and contained actual small pieces of chopped nuts, which provided both fragrance and texture. The layers of cake were soft and moist, and melted in my mouth. I loved the wafer at the bottom, which provided a great crispiness to the entire dessert.
Love their chocolate! Never get a chance to bring it home, cuz I always finish everything after I got them! The green tea yuzo cake was creamy and fresh! Mascarpone cake was decent! The only downside of Thomas haas is... too far from my place!
Thomas Haas is a famous chocolate dessert expert with his products available in many high end supermarkets. He also has a bakery/coffee shop on West Broadway which we learned recently is quite a popular attraction. We see Thomas Haas on Global TV weekend mornings quite regularly usually during different holidays to show the latest offerings.
Arguably the best bakery in town!
The cakes, chocolates, and pastries are crafted beautifully, with attention to the details of each layer. You can taste the difference in the chocolate that is being used - the sweetness is not over powering. The owner's passion and dedication really shows in the quality of the produce.
Their double baked almond croissant is probably the best we have ever had. We have tried the famous one at Bouchon in Vegas - they were great, but did not even come close with the one at Thomas Haas.
The cakes here were delicious! I had the caramel praline cake and the green tea yuzu. The green tea one was unexpectedly very sour, but the texture was great. The praline cake was amazing. I loved the taste. The only that only downside is that the prices are quite high for the amount you get. If your into quality over quantity, then this place is for you.
Highly recommend. Cute little shop. After visiting, I heard the double baked almond is a must try. Will try that next time! We went on a weekend right before Valentine’s weekend so the shop was full of Valentine specials.
We tried three cake slices. Exotic cheesecake was recommended and it was very tasty. Crispy chocolate raspberry was the best! Chocolate pecan was so-so.
Pricing was really reasonable too when comparing against Thierry in Vancouver downtown. I would visit here more often now for sure!
Sadly they close on Sundays. To dear Thomas Haas management - you gotta open on Sunday!
Like the vibe of this cafe, nice decorations, with smooth background music. The matcha was good. My son likes his ice latte. We also had the cherries and pistachios mousse cake, it was pretty good too.
Highly recommend the double baked almond croissant! So delicious but they sell out fast. Be prepared to wait in line and be in a busy cafe. There are always A LOT of people in the space
This place always gets so busy! And no wonder. All the pastries we've had were amazing. But my all time repeated nimber 1 has to be the double baked almond croissant. In a span of 1 hour we saw nearly 3 sheets getting cleared out. It was also nice to see the famed Thomas Haas himself interacting with what looked like a regulars from the neighbourhood.
Thomas Haas has a variety of things to sell. We just had to try their cakes. We went a little late (4pm) so limited selections. We still made some delicious choices tho! Highly recommend for those chocolate lovers out there or those who are into pastries and coffee. FT Strawberry Mousse + Compote w/white chocolate shell. Paired with a London Fog. Milk Chocolate w/Passion Fruit Mousse, paired with a Cappuccino. Also bought some Madeleines that had lemon and orange aftertaste. It was crazy refreshing.
Best hot chocolate ever!! They have four kinds. Dark (regular), extra dark, Aztec (dark chocolate with spice), and kids (milk chocolate). It's funny that if you want milk chocolate, you have to ask for a kid's drink. Shaming us milk chocolate enjoyers? 🤔 Just kidding. A great place for a warm fall/winter treat :)
Visited Thomas Haas on a Friday afternoon (around 1). No lineup when we got there but there was a lineup after we had gotten our food. We had the iced passionfruit tea, ham and cheese croissant, pain au chocolate, croissant, hazelnut Danish and creme brulee. Overall the ham and cheese croissant and the regular croissant were my favourite. The ham and cheese has a very distinct cheese flavour somewhat smoky. The croissant is nice and crispy. Lots of layers - good lamination. Usually I would get their double baked almond but they had just sold their last one which was disappointing. My least favourite was the hazelnut Danish. I couldn't taste any of the hazelnut and the raisins made the danish extra sweet. The creme brulee we had was very creamy and not overly sweet. It was also very cute and came in a reusable jar. Overall would recommend Thomas Haas for their croissants. The prices are decent and lots of variety available
