I'm going to be biased in my review of Gram Cafe & Pancakes [https://www.gramcanada.com/] because I've been to Tokyo for soufflé pancakes and they were a far cry from what I had at Gram at The Amazing Brentwood. I'll do my best to go into detail what my »
![Nam Dae Moon – Unique Rice Cake Desserts Now Available in Burnaby [OVERVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2022/06/nam-dae-moon-rice-cakes-2.jpg)
It's hard to stand out as a new dessert shop. If you open an ice cream shop, you are judged on your quality of ice cream relative to Earnest. If you open a bakery, your almond croissant is judged against the Nosh and Nibble almond croissant guide [https://noshandnibble.blog/ »

It's fun to crawl through the glitz and glam of downtown hubs in the restaurant world, but if you look deep enough, the same kind of prestige can be had in the suburbs often for a better value price. I believe Stem Japanese Eatery [https://stemjapanese.ca/] is one of »

The sun is coming so it's an appropriate time to talk about the newest opening of Soft Peaks [http://softpeaks.ca/]. After a few years of dominating the Gastown soft serve scene (peace out, UYU), the owners have opened a new location across the street from Metrotown in Burnaby. Last »

Even though I'm not in college anymore, I appreciate a good study cafe especially if the music isn't too loud and the venue is accessible for my study group. Mr. Mustache appears to fit the bill, taking up residence in yesteryear's Cafe Joie. While the interior might be largely the »

[http://noshandnibbleblog.com/post/160006020888/5-best-things-myst-asian-fusion-burnaby] Hey guys! A new restaurant has appeared in the Burnaby dining scene.

Those who follow my dessert cafe reviews know I am particularly fond of non-Taiwanese shaved ice.
