They are known for their uniquely flavored cream puffs, such as piña colada, pisco sour and spiced sweet potato. Their award-winning signature chocolate box includes flavors like Fisherman’s Friend, Tropical Crunch and Caramelized Banana.

Mink Chocolates

Mink Chocolates has a café in downtown Vancouver that offers an excellent selection of desserts when you want to indulge. A family affair, it is run by third-generation Minks, with the recipes and chocolate empire passed down generation to generation. Take away a chocolate bar or settle down and try their personal fondue. The s’mores includes a mini hibachi so that you can toast the marshmallows yourself, dip it into chocolate (70% or 38% cacao) and squeeze it in between some graham crackers.

Thomas Haas

Thomas Haas is a fourth-generation pâtissier and has accumulated many awards for his delectable pastries and chocolates. He has two cafés in the Greater Vancouver area – one on Broadway and the other in North Vancouver – which stock his chocolates as well as croissants, danishes and strudels on a daily basis. His chocolates include flavors like lemongrass, pear and ginger, Jamaican rum and cognac.

Cacao 70

With locations throughout Quebec, Cacao 70 is a dessert bistro in Vancouver’s West End neighborhood and the company’s first foray into Western Canada. It sells locally handmade chocolate bars and has a sweets menu to die for. They have chocolate pizzas, which include warm pizza crusts topped with chocolate, peanut butter or marshmallows. The detailed menu also features waffles, crêpes, cheesecakes, ice cream cups, fondue, and a range of hot chocolates and milkshakes. For people with a sweet tooth, Cacao 70 will definitely satisfy your craving.

Thierry

Thierry has repeatedly been voted ‘Best Desserts’ in Vancouver, so chef-owner Thierry Busset definitely knows what he’s doing. The all-day café means you can stop by for your morning coffee, enjoy a pastry for afternoon tea or treat yourself to a late-night dessert. One of his specialties is liquid chocolate, but he also offers ganache, macarons, croissants, cakes (both slices and full-sized) and so much more.
