Yes, their cakes are pastries are rich, that is part of their reputation, but how many bakerys or patisserieiess have been around since 1926 without a very good reason?

They do seem to be popular though so I guess their cakes must be appealing to someone...just not to us. :) I have tried cakes from here and I agree with you and the other posters…the cakes are much too sweet and sugary for my taste.

Please try baking this and tell me what you think. Mix 2 bars of creamcheese (i use philly), 3 eggs, 1 can of condense milk, a teaspoon squeeze of lemon juice. pour them on a store-bought pie-crust (you can also do this), then bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 300 degrees. the center should be jiggly when done. cool for a few minutes, then dig in! you can put any toppings you want but my daughter loves it plain! i’ve been reading your blogs regularly and wanted to share this very simple cheesecake recipe that would pale in comparison all those cheesecakes that you had (pardon me, im bragging here!).

That cake doesn't look like a cheesecake, and with this kind of service... tsk tsk tsk I really think this is bad - $2.5 for that small cup of hot chocolate???

I only stumbled upon this as I was searching for all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in Vancouver! What a gem your blog is! I do have to agree with everyone else about Notte's Bon Ton. They are a very snobby and uptight bunch. Last year I went in to make a small purchase and they totally snubbed me since I wasn't a "big spender". I'm sorry if your store is close to UBC and I'm a poor student who wanted a couple tasty cookies. But for a place that is so well-known for their pastries, they should get a kick in the butt for such terrible customer service. Hello there!

At the end of the day, even if their pastries are to die for, it's the people and their attitudes behind the counter that matters. Glad I've never been in, cuz now I won't plan to :-) BTW Ben, I see you caught a bit of Cafe D'Lite in the picture next to Notte. They have some of the best laksa in town. Gotta try them if you haven't already ! I agree with all the above. At the end of the day, even if their pastries are to die for, it’s the people and their attitudes behind the counter that matters.

I too would have walked out seeing a "service charge". The $1 extra for reading is especially insulting! Obviously this place doesn't care about customer service! That’s horrible!

I would probably have just left after seeing the extra charge. Vote with your dollars! They sounded pretty mean. I would probably have just left after seeing the extra charge.
