A few weeks ago, Polly invited me to join her in search for the best cheesecake in Vancouver. We both loves cheesecakes a lot. So, we did some research and found this place called the Trees Organic Coffee from the internet. Polly’s friends also recommended this place.
Trees Organic Coffee is located on Granville between West Hastings and Pender in Vancouver. The shop was decorated warmly with tables inside and outside of the shop. It is a trendy boheniam cafe. We decided to sit inside at a window sit to enjoy our cheesecake as the weather is a bit too cold for us that day.
Yup, they did put up a sign saying that they have the “Best Cheesecake in Vancouver”.
We were there before 11:00 am and there was not many customers at the time. After browsing through the cheese cakes on display, I decided to order the New York Cheesecake. The New York Cheesecake was really creamy and just melted in your mouth. Most of the slice cheesecake cost $5.60.
I also ordered a grand Cappuccino to go with the cheesecake. The drink cost $3.55.
Polly ordered a slice of Mocha Cheesecake. The Mocha cheesecake has a chocolate crust which goes well with the Mocha flavour cheesecake.
Polly also ordered a grand Latte for $3.55. The bitterness in the coffee compliments well with the creaminess of the cheesecake.
I noticed that the shop uses organic and fair-trade coffee bean as there is a huge bag of coffee bean with the fair-trade label on it. As in any great coffee, they are roasted in-house.
At around noon, there was a steady crowd of customers coming in for lunch like panini sandwiches, quiche, subs, etc.
Polly and I had a good time enjoying our cheesecakes and coffees. We chatted about everything from work, kids, families and even about our retirement, :-). We decided to have this get together every other Tuesday. Our quest is to find the best of cakes in Vancouver.

I’m not a huge fan of cheesecakes, but I LOVE the one Sweet Revenge offers. Unfortunately, they’re only open in the evenings. http://www.sweet-revenge.ca/main.html
For cheesecakes I also recommend Il Pappagallo’s on Hastings & Sperling in North Burnaby. And Piece of Cake on Lonsdale (& Esplanade I think) in North Van.
Oh wow that cheesecake looks goooood!
I haven’t had cheese cake in a while and had two this afternoon at a buffet lunch place. I almost forgot how delish they can be. 😉
While I am not in Vancouver, I do make cheesecake, y’all should come down to our side of the continent and give it a try!
I know where that is! Too bad Cat doesn’t like cheesecake or I’d make her go with me the next time we’re in Vancouver. =/

Hi Stefanie, we will try out Pappagallo’s next.
Hi David, I know you have a great cheese cake recipe in your blog. One day, I will try out your recipe for some potluck party or someone special, perhaps.
I am a fellow cheese-cake lover in Vancovuer and will def try Trees out. I am in that area quite frequently but never noticed it before. Thanks for the tip!
