After our delicious meal after Peaked Pies, we decided we wanted desserts so we walked northbound to a dessert restaurant called True Confections. This dessert restaurant is known to create the largest selections of “made from scratch” desserts in Canada, This restaurant was founded in 1986 as the first desserts restaurant in Vancouver, BC. This restaurant ironically is the same age as me as I was born in the year of 1986.
As we walked in, there was a large variety of cakes that was displayed and both my significant other and myself were eyeing on their red velvet cake. As we were greeted and sat down by the host / server we had a couple of minutes to look over their menu and our host / server approached us and we decided to order a slice of red velvet cake to share. First bite on the cake, the cake was moist and I love the cream cheese frosting it was very delicious.
Overall, I rate this dessert restaurant a 5 stars out of 5 stars. This restaurant have been around for about 33 years in Vancouver, BC. They are deemed to have a largest freshest desserts in Vancouver, BC for quite sometime. I definitely support a local restaurateur in the long run, as I appreciate local businesses bringing good food to our city.

I must begin by saying I have never had my dessert packed to go before!
Amazingly decadent cakes, so so so tasty, I’m still dreaming of it. Huge slices and very warm staff. Told the person behind the counter, in conversation, that it was my friend’s birthday and he added a little candle to her pie. What a sweet gesture!
Their multi layered chocolate cake is to kill for! Indulgence in chocolate. A slim slice looks small but the creamy mousse and dark chocolate cake is hard to finish on your own!
Location: I’ve been to Broadway and also the downtown one in Vancouver. Both are located in excellent places.
Ambience: Servers are very welcoming
Food: Well, the place is known for its cakes. I believe they have awesome cheesecakes but other cakes are okay-ish.
Well well, they have a special dark Belgian choc hot choc with marshmallows on top, amazing ; a must must try!
Price: slightly on higher side but cake slices are huge
*go when u really crave for choc
To die for cheesecake and hot chocolate very splendid desert. A great place to indulge and celebrate after any type of reward or accomplishment
Craving for something sweet, or need a date night idea? This dainty café is just a few blocks away from English Bay .. honestly, the only bad thing I can say is that they need more locations! It's worth the trip for the abundant yummy cakes and desserts they have. My personal favorite (and a must-try) would be the Devil's Food cake! Layers of moist chocolate cake and smooth, silky chocolate mousse enrobed in marshmallow frosting .. it's pure temptation in a slice. It's soo good that I have to always order another one to go! Grab a london fog or vanilla latte and you will be in heaven. Their cheesecakes are quite creamy, and there are tons of variations and toppings that you can have!
The lady who served us was really sweet. The service was quick and the food was tasty. I had the diplomat and I definitely recommend it. It's a little on the pricy side but the overall experience was great and I would for sure come here again.
Is anyone else surprised that this appears to be the only dedicated dessert place around downtown that's opened passed 8pm on a weekend? That fact doesn't take anything away from the cakes, cheesecakes and trifles. Reasonable prices at $7-10 each.
A friend and I walked in 20 minutes before closing time. We managed to rangle a table with the promise that we'd be done in 20 minutes.
I ordered pecan pie and my friend ordered raspberry and white chocolate cheese cake. My pie was delicious, I chose to eat it cold and every bite warm great! I tried one bite of the cheese cake...damn my lactose intolerance. I didn't have my pills so chose not to keep going. It was good though.
I usually like dinner with my dessert but regardless I'll come back sometime in the future.
Hazelnut dark chocolate mousse is to die for! Light and fluffy. Mmm. Flourless cakes melt easily in the mouth and so does chocolate mousse. I decided to make my own flourless cake and chocolate mousse, Taste pretty good too. I guess any chocolate mousse paired with flourless cake done right is tasty. I've been to True Confections three times and had the Hazelnut dark chocolate mousse twice and the Napoleon. The Napoleon isn't very good.
