This place is a real gem! The croissants are amazing and their desserts are fantastic. That coupled with a great cappuccino and you are in heaven :)
The place feels like home! The croissants (I particularly like the double almond apple), the matcha black sesame cake and the sandwiches are delicious. Oh, the members of staff are friendly! Highly recommended to all!
Cozy cafe with delicious pastries! The espressos are consistently good. I haven’t had a cappuccino, latte or mochas that I didn’t like. You know when sometimes you go to a coffee shop and your drink taste different from last time you visited, and not as good? Well I haven’t had that experience in this cafe.
I've only been here a few times, but everything I've tried is excellent. The croissants are crispy on the outside, buttery and flakey on the inside. The cream puffs have a nice crunchy streusel exterior and luxurious creamy filling (the salted caramel is my fav). Even the sandwiches are pretty good.
Although quite small, Bakery Sate offers a pretty impressive assortment of delicious looking cakes and pastries, and more uniquely flavoured croissants (Salted Egg Yolk Custard Croissant, Matcha Double Baked). I've had the opportunity to try their Nutella Banana Croissant Bread Pudding and Cheesecake.
Nutella Banana Croissant Bread Pudding ($3.5): 4/5; I love nutella, I think it goes great with bananas (and just about everything else), and I like croissants, so this sounded like a sure hit. The bread pudding had a nice crispy outer crust of buttery croissants and was filled with generous chunks of bananas. I did wish that there was more nutella, but that's probably because I'm a huge nutella lover.
Cheesecake ($5.5): 4.5/5; I've heard great things about their cheesecake, and so I went for it in spite of its plainer appearance (in comparison to the other cakes on display). I was not disappointed. The curd was smooth, creamy, and had the firmer texture that I want in cheesecakes (I'm 100% New York when it comes to cheesecakes). It was coated with crushed walnuts, which not only added a good crunchy texture, but also a great nutty flavour. The crust also had a nutty flavour, and was a welcomed textural contrast to the curd. It was topped with a thick layer of sweet whipping cream that went surprisingly well with the tanginess of the cake. Overall, this was easily the best cheesecake that I've had in a long time.
My visit to Bakery Sate has certainly made me a fan. I cannot wait to be back to try out some of their other delicious-looking cakes and pastries.
Top notch dessert in Vancouver. Each individual piece was well-made. Not too sweet with enough density. We tried the Nutella banana bread pudding. Had more banana flavour than Nutella. After warming it up it became soft banana bread. London fog cream puff was superb. Creme Brulee had thicker consistency but exuded a hint of espresso. Cheese cake was dense too almost like Trees Organic. Tiramisu tart the shell was tasty but the actual cream part had mousse/marshmallowy texture which I personally don't like. Overall great place and a must go back for another visit!
Warm and welcoming bakery. My favourite part is looking through the window to their kitchen and seeing the magic happen! The lattes were lovey and my cheesecake was perfection!
After Kishimoto we wandered around looking for dessert and settled on Bakery Sate, for its good Yelp ratings. We tried three cakes:. Matcha Black Sesame ($4.95) GF dacquoise, GF chiffon, black sesame moussline, matcha white chocolate parfait. Lavender Milk Chocolate Raspberry ($4.95) GF chocolate sponge, lavender milk chocolate mousse, raspberry mousse
One of the best sweets I ever had in Vancouver. We ordered a cheese cake, black forest cake and a strawberry something (I forgot its name :( ).
This is a lovely bakery in the Victoria/east 12 area of Vancouver. We went for brunch and tried coffee, matcha, baguette, corn bread with matcha/sesame cake and London fog cream puff.
The americano and matcha latte was good and the recommended match/sesame cake is delicious. London fog cream puff is strong with London fog taste and crust is good. Baguette and corn bread needed more refinement.
I think this bakery is still finding it's signature goodies. Definitely worth a try and a good addition to vancouver's pastry locale.
Nice cafe with delicious desserts. I particularly enjoyed their cake selection the most. We had the Strawberry Frasier cake, and Matcha Black Sesame Cake. Both weren't overly sweet, and they had decent texture and flavor. We also got a Mont Blanc cream puff, which was packed with chestnut flavor. There's also a big selection of pastries, which seems to be quite popular as well.
LOVE this place. The apple pie & almond double-baked croissant is amazing. So are their cream puffs and canneles! This is perhaps less important but I like that they use unsweetened almond milk in their drinks so that you can add sweetness if you prefer (which I don't!).
