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: Chocolate Arts

Happy Foodie Friday Friends! I hope your week went well. Do you have a sweet tooth?? If you do, you are in luck because we are headed to "Chocolate Arts" today! Let's check it out below. 

Behind the chocolate display case, there is a window that says "Our Artists" on it. Behind it you can slightly see the chocolate creators through the words. Very artistic!

Mmmm... boxes & boxes full of chocolates!!

On the side wall, there are tons of different gifts you can purchase for your friends & family. There are chocolate bowls filled with a variety of chocolate pieces, spreads, bulk chocolate & more!

Not only does Chocolate Arts have chocolate but they also serve coffee, sandwiches, salads & more.

When you purchase the chocolate pieces, they are sold by weight. You can also make customized boxes filled with chocolates that suits your taste!

Hubby & I came for not only their chocolates but for their ice cream bars as well! I love how simple & clean the packaging looked like. The ice cream was wrapped with parchment paper.

"Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream bar" 

- handcrafted

- avalon dairy cream & free range eggs

- decadent brownie base

- dark chocolate coating

If you love the taste of a rich brownie & dark chocolate, you will love this ice cream bar! The vanilla ice cream was definitely an accent in this bar.

We had to try their chocolate as well so we got 6 pieces! 

The chocolate came in this simple black box & nestled in individual wrapping.

If you have been following me for awhile, you know that I am a matcha/green tea anything addict! I had to try their matcha leaf chocolate- so pretty!

Chocolate Arts's chocolates are very unique! Each had a rich chocolate taste, which is the star of the show. The different flavours in the chocolate tasted like hints instead of a equal balance with the chocolate. If you love more chocolate taste, than you will love these chocolate pieces!

I love the clean simplicity of how the store/restaurant/cafe looks like. The pops of red makes it super modern as well! Perfect for a quick lunch, date, business meeting or just a casual stop. Chocolate lovers, definitely check out Chocolate Arts if you want to expand your palette on different chocolate taste!

Thank you so much for reading & wishing you an amazing weekend!!

Love, Linda
