Trees Organic is known in Vancouver for having the best cheesecake in town, and I have to say that they have every right to brag about that. Aside from their wide and delicious cheesecake selection, they also roast their own coffee beans, making for a wonderful combo to treat yourself to. Serving the downtown/Gastown/Yaletown area with 5 fabulous location, each Trees Organic has a cozy interior that still has plenty of space to allow you to get any work done. My friend Jamie and I went to the location on Granville Street (450 Granville) to enjoy a lovely slice of their white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, which is the perfect combination of tartness from the raspberries and the sweetness of the white chocolate, all tied up together in the creaminess of the cream cheese. They also clearly know their coffee, and I highly recommend their mochas. If you're looking for a great slice of cheesecake, check out any one of Trees Organics' five locations - make sure you save room for dessert!

320 Robson Street, Vancouver (Downtown)
The ice cream scene in Vancouver keeps churning out new contenders and new, innovative ways to serve and eat ice cream. Lik N2 Ice Cream on Robson is a one of those unique places, calling itself as Vancouver's first liquid nitrogen ice cream store. Upon entry to the store we were stunned by the sunny yellow walls and white walls, as well as all of the silver appliances in the back and the telltale sight of nitrogen smoke. On the other side you can see all of the ice cream being mixed, nitrogen flying everywhere and a cute neon sign that reads "I got Lik'd in Vancity". The aesthetic of the ice cream comes from the syringe that is added to the ice cream, typically with the syrup or sauce that is added to the said flavour. Emma and I got the strawberry blueberry sunrise, which consists of blueberry sorbet, strawberry sauce in the syringe and topped with fresh mangos. It was definitely a fruity treat which evidently used fresh fruit. However, for $7.50, the portion size was a little underwhelming and the ice cream was pretty meh. Don't get me wrong - it was delicious and fruity and I appreciated the freshness, however, it seemed really steep for what it was and it didn't wow me be any means. In comparison, 720 Sweets is under $6 and way bigger and cooler. I can see where the hype is for this place, however, I wouldn't recommend waiting in line for a small cup of ice cream and a plastic syringe. |
