The Proof is in the Pies (and Cakes!)
If reader polls are to be trusted, this decadent downtown delight is an absolute favourite of Vancouver residents. Sweet tooths of every description abandon their diets and sneak in for a sugar high well into the late night. Plenty of tables and busy waiters ensure that your slice of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake finds its way to you tout de sweet. Plus, the large coffee selection stirs your favorite java into the mix. Look out for the giddy feel of a kid in a candy shop - it's contagious.

The Delicacies
With Butter Almond Cake, Hazelnut Frangelico Cheesecake and a selection of cocoa charmers like, Dark Chocolate Belgian Mousse, Chocolate Mud Cake, and classic Devil's Food, just looking at the selection is enough to knock you off the scales. Some of the more popular choices are The Diplomat (a white cake), and the Lemon Heaven Cake. Always fun is a slice of strawberry shortcake, along with a coffee. If you're feeling truly puritanical, order a perfect piece of pie, hand-rolled with lard-free pastry, an abundance of fresh fruit and a minimal amount of sugar. True Confections makes apple, strawberry-rhubarb as well as seasonal pies.
