Purebread

1
159 Hastings St W, Vancouver, BC V6B 1H4

The lemon chèvre brownies at this Gastown bakeshop are the stuff of legends. Originally from Whistler, Purebread is winning over the hearts (and stomachs) of downtown Vancouverites thanks to its delectable selection of baked goods, both sweet and savoury. The signature brownie is an interesting riff on the childhood classic; the creamy chèvre cheese gives the treat a rich, moist consistency while the addition of lemon creates a light, refreshing flavour. For brownie purists, there’s an outrageous all-chocolate version as well.

Say goodbye to your diet – at least for this week. Once you’ve had a taste of the home-made brownies at Creme De La Crumb, eating healthy and balanced foods will suddenly take a backseat. The desserts at this East Van bakery are custom made so you won’t find them anywhere else in Vancouver. Special attention goes into the sweet, moist chocolate-packed brownies. The friendly service and village vibe make it impossible to leave with anything but a smile on your face.

Cafe Trafiq

4216 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9

There are two types of people in this world: those who like cake and those who like brownies. Luckily, Trafiq doesn’t discriminate and has baked treats to satisfy every kind sweet tooth – but their brownies are the big winner in our opinion. While others ooh and aah over the impressive cakes on display, skip to the front of the line and pick up an incredibly rich, chocolatey brownie that’ll leave you satisfied for days. There are healthier food options here as well, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
