Vancouver is known as a great food town due to its dedication to seasonal, local and organic ingredients and its diverse population. In addition to great restaurants serving full meals, Vancouver has some wonderful restaurants and cafes dedicated solely to dessert. Here are some dessert restaurants and cafes in Vancouver routinely filled with customers lining up for a decadent slice of cake or a fresh tart.

True Confections

In operation for more than twenty years, True Confections is Vancouver's only licensed dessert restaurant. There's one location in the Point Grey neighborhood and another in the West End. The Point Grey location is a no-fills and rustic experience while the West End location, near touristy Robson St., is more trendy and modern. At either location, there are just a few tables and servers are usually harried. Yet the locals keep coming back for more slices of their cheesecakes, cakes, pies, tarts and trifles, all of which are tantalizingly displayed near the entrance. Desserts are made on the premises using pure and fresh ingredients, with no preservatives or coloring marring the taste.
