Advice: Come by after 11am daily for the fresh baked from the oven Almond and other Croissants.

Almond Croissant

Known for their pastries and spectacular wedding cakes, they are also a morning stop for many regulars who visit for their croissants as well as a coffee or other sweet specialties. I have had their outstanding delicious Almond Croissants ($3.25) as well as their delicious Pain au Chocolat ($3.00), a fellow by the name of Gaston swears by these pastries and he had suggested that I visit and that I did. The pastry case is filled with beautiful looking cakes, cheesecakes and pastries that range in price. They also have a variety of treats packaged on the side to go in this Parisian-style patisserie. There are seats inside as well where you can order an espresso or other beverage to accompany your sweets.

I have been coming to this bakery to pick up my bread for years, the bakery has been on Granville Island opposite the market for so many years. As you enter the smell of freshly baked bread fills the air, they often have samples of their breads and pastries for tasting. My favourite of the breads is the Multigrain ($4.25), other delicious items here are the Almond Chocolate Crossants ($3.50) filled with almond cream, chocolate and roasted sliced almonds and the Almond Bear Claw Danish ($3.50) a light Danish pastry filled with almond custard topped with powdered sugar. They feature a daily selection of freshly made sandwiches, my favourite is the Vegetarian ($6.95) and they specialize in French pastries and cakes that uniquely made and spectacles for enjoyment.
