KLS Favorites: Sweet Treats

If you have a sweet tooth… this is a place you have to visit.

When I was in Vancouver someone recommended this place to me for a sweet treat. I went in search of a birthday treat for my friend, and I hit the jackpot. I left with miniature cakes and tarts, which was an excellent idea. We all got to taste a variety of deserts.

The store, located in North Vancouver, is no more than a few hundred square feet but filled with delectable treats. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a line up out the door. As soon as I saw that, I knew it must be worth the wait. It was. I couldn’t get over how many people were stuffed into such a small space. Most people were in line to purchase, but some were crowded around the four small tables and tiny counter area having coffee and treats.

Thomas Haas is not only a talented in pastry but is an accomplished chef. He has worked across the world in Michelin star restaurants

in Europe and was executive pastry chef at the Four Seasons Vancouver.

Winner of many competitions awards and accolades, Haas has been featured in many food magazines and appeared on Martha Stewart Living. In 2000, he and his wife opened their own store and have been booming in business ever since. They pride themselves on what they

produce, handmade chocolates and pastries made with only the best quality, and most often, local ingredients.

Another testament to the notion… great things come in small packages, or in this case, small spaces.
