Foodie Friday: Bakery Sate

Happy Friday! For today's Foodie Friday we are headed to a local bakery/cafe in East Vancouver called "Bakery Sate". Let's check it out below!

I love how bright & clean everything looks like inside!

Cute, vintage, random decor on the wall.

If you guys don't know this by now, I am a matcha/green tea addict! I had to try Bakery Sate's "Matcha Black Sesame Cake". At first, I thought the sesame flavour was going to over power the matcha taste. When I had a bite of this gorgeous cake, it was the perfect balance between both flavours. The matcha taste was not bitter at all because it did have white chocolate in it as well, yum!!

I had to get yet another matcha sweet, this one is their "Matcha Azuki Puff". I love the crunchy sweet/salty topping of this cream puff. Inside was the most delicious creamy matcha filling with red bean as well!

I want one of each please!! ^___^ Beautiful display case full of different cakes, sweets, desserts & sandwiches.

Simple wooden tables & a window so you can take a peek at the pastry chefs working their magic! That man in the window is Head Pastry Chef, Eric Ho.

Bakery Sate is such a cute & cozy cafe to have a coffee date, catch up with friends or even dessert dates! Thank you so much for reading & hope you have a awesome weekend!!

Love, Linda

Foodie Friday: BETA 5

WHOO HOO!! HAPPY FRIDAY! 

We are going to check out BETA 5 on today's Foodie Friday post! BETA 5 is a chocolate & pastry shop located in the most unexpected part of Vancouver- the industrial area! I love how the shop itself is in a warehouse/garage, very cool, hip & friggin awesome!

They had gorgeous chocolates on display, BTW BETA 5 is one of North America's top 10 chocolatiers!

I thought it was nice to see a huge clear window in the shop, where you can see the artisans work their magic!

There was also a table filled with a variety of items (jam, chocolate bars, etc.) that you could buy & take home or give as gifts as well. 

Sometimes simplicity is all you need to showcase your products & still leave a lasting impression. It was very bright & beautiful inside!

Hubby & I ordered a couple cream puffs & chocolate pieces. How adorable & pretty is the presentation of these sweets?! On the left is Blueberry Yuzu & on the right is Milk Chocolate S'More cream puff. Their cream puffs were so delicious!! They had a buttery slight crunchy shell with the most yummiest flavour-filled filling, YUM! For their award winning chocolates, on the left we have Earl Grey & right is Crispy Praline. I can definitely see why BETA 5 is the place to get your chocolate fix. It had a wonderful taste to it, not too over powering & not too sweet. Also, the chocolates had a very nice crisp snap to it when you bite into it (what BETA 5 is all about!). ^___^

Wishing you a very SWEET weekend!
