Delicious Cheesecake. At first I asked for the best item they sold and was given a tasty savory pastry with feta and spinach wrapped inside. This was good, but as I was finishing I was told the cheesecake was best and I would agree. Friendly Staff even though the person I talked with knew little about baking. Decent Prices. Clean Establishment. Overall I’d definitely swing by for more cheesecake :)
Walked in and the tattooed guy at the counter was on the phone. I waited for 5 minutes and no hello, no acknowledgement, no wave to say he sees me.
I stop by the one on Robson often and try to support small businesses. I asked him when he would acknowledge me and says “I’m on the phone.” There is a sign on the door that says “Thanks for supporting small businesses”.
Good luck with that. If your store closes, it’s your own fault. I decided to leave him with his two other customer.

This small bakery inside the Robson Square Mall is amazing!!!
I got some gorgeous-looking Turkish pastries for a friend and her family.
They were happy, and the San Sebastián cheesecake was also a hit. My friend said it was so good!
I hope more people will go support this place.
The people who worked there were really nice as well!

This place looks like a little bit of a hole in the wall and it’s hidden in the corridor of Broadway between Cambie and Main that’s getting torn up by construction, but it’s such a great find and absolutely worth checking out. They serve Turkish brunch and snacks, specializing in Turkish bagels, “simit”, hence the name.
I was very curious about these special Turkish bagels and tried one in the “Aspendos” smoked salmon bagel sandwich. I loved the bagel! It reminded me of Montréal-style bagels, a little sweet, but with a unique texture because it’s so thin and twisted. The bagel and the rest of the ingredients were very fresh. I watched the person working (owner?) put together the sandwich and it was pretty impressive how careful he was arranging the slices of salmon and vegetables around the ring if
the bagel. Because the hole in the middle is so large, it’s a different experience to eat a sandwich made with this kind of bagel, interesting! I also tried their almond pudding (I think it’s called keshkul but I’m not sure, maybe that’s something else) and a Turkish tea. The almond pudding had a nice strong almond flavour and a unique texture - it was a little grainier than standard pudding but not in a bad way. The tea was also quite strong but not bitter.
The person who took and made my order was really friendly, and as mentioned above, put a lot of care into my sandwich. Because the items are made to order very precisely, it’s not the fastest.
Check them out for something different! I really want to go back and try one of their Turkish breakfast plates!

I recently discovered Simit Bakery, and it has quickly become my go-to spot for breakfast. The variety of options they offer is impressive, but my personal favorite is the Sucuk & Mozzarella bagel. The bakery's fresh, quality ingredients and friendly service make it a delightful morning experience. Whether you're a regular or just passing by, Simit Bakery is a must-visit for breakfast lovers.
Had a sandwich made from a Turkish bagel and rice pudding, with some Turkish chai…not bad need to try out more as they have a quiet allot of baked items to choose from.
Love the atmosphere here, even though you would hear the noisy traffic on and off from the ongoing construction on E Broadway. The Turkish coffee, tea and pastries offered from this little unique cafe always got me there.
