Bon Bon Bakery

A little bakery in North Burnaby. They have a variety of breads, cakes and pastries. They all looked good, so we decided to give the pastries a try.

Unfortunately, it’s the worst pastries ever. It was hard, dry, and tasted unnatural. There was nothing good about it except for the aesthetics. I barely ate them, and gave the rest to Sheepie. Despite him eating it all, he wasn’t pleased with them either.

The cafe part seems to be bare, but customers after customers do come by to pick up their special occasion cake. I would not want a cake from here.

Elysian Coffee on 5th

Comfy, small cafe with lots of bakery items to choose from. The booths are cozy and on a nice day, you can look out the all glass wall which also lets in natural light.

Butter Baked Goods

To meet up with a friend Sheepie and I thought we’d check out Butter. It was a very chic place, with pastel, soft greens and pink. Their branding was well done, and one could spend more time just looking not only at the food, but the design as well.

Enough so, that I had to give the leftover to Sheepie who was happy to take any sweets to satisfy his sweet tooth. It looked pretty, but the custard was cold and hard. I like fluffy, airy, soft custards – usually found in Asian cakes.

I had a pot of the Organic Vanilla tea.

Super cute place, but unfortunately, I am not the right target for their sweets. Still nice cafe to catch up with friends!
