Sunny Sunday brunch, LOVELY! Finally came here to check out La Foret in this hidden location at Burnaby, previously was a auto repair shop.  The cafe is very spacious with high ceiling, earthy and greenery setting with interesting decoration in different elements like rocks, cements, woods and plants.

604 Just Eat: Desserts @ Fratelli Bakery

Fratelli Bakery@ Grandview 

Food:  4/5   Service:  3.5/5   Atmosphere: 3.5/5   Price:  Avg. $6.5 person

Fratelli, a famous Italian Bakery on Commercial Drive.  We came here to buy some sweets to go before heading to our friend's home for barbecue.  I was melted when I walked inside the shop, because the sweet scent of puff pastry cake and tarts smell so good!
 And my eyes cannot leave the display shelves, with great selections of cakes and pastries.  It was very difficult to make decision there.  Indeed, they were so fresh and delicious!  The sweetness was quite mild.  Price range was fair and great attentive service.  MUST EAT!

The Sweet Spot Barkery @ Steveston

Food:  4/5   Service:  4/5   Atmosphere:  3.5/5   Price:  Avg. $15 for 2 people

This is one of my TOP 10 bakeries in Richmond and you cannot miss it!
Sweet Tooth at "The Sweet Spot".
Love their lemon tart and the french baking are to die for.  Other than the beautiful presentation and tasty of the baked goods, the shop smells so good!  The pleasant smell of the baked goods being made there.  You can see the ovens and bakers next to the counter.  If you have lunch or dinner plans in the Steveston neighborhood, highly recommended to drop by to buy few pieces of baked goods to go!
MUST EAT:  Lemon Tart, Eclairs

Lemon Tart - Right hand side
My ALL TIME FAVORITE EVER.  The lemon tart filling was perfect in texture, classic lemon curd filling, rich, creamy and just about right sweet and sour flavors.  A little swirl meringue on top as decoration, love it!

Chocolate Caramel Cake - Left hand side
(I cannot recall the name lol)
I am not a very big fan of chocolate desserts but this one was pretty amazing.  The flavors of chocolate mousse and caramel were rich and not too sweet.  Outstanding!  

BTW, they also have very delicious eclairs, salted caramel is my choice.  Try to come earlier, usually run low on products in the late afternoon.

Sugar n Ice Cakes @ Steveston

Food:  4/5   Service:  3.5/5   Atmosphere:  4/5   Price:  Avg. $13 person

Since we moved back to the Steveston neighborhood, Steveston village becomes our favorite spot to chillax in weekend.  I saw a new bakery shop called Sugar n Ice when we were trying to find a parking spot in the Saturday afternoon.  I could not stop my feet walking there to check out this new bakery shop!  The baked sweets were beautiful and delicate.  Other than the pastries and coffees on the menu, they also offer make to order service like wedding and any other occasions.
