Sweet Obsession

If you're like me who holds Sweet Obsessions in a special place in their heart remembering fondly of the amazing assortment of pastries, colorful and delightful behind the display case, enjoying a nice hot beverage and delicious sweetness with your friend. I need to stop you right now before you ruin your memory like it did for me. 1. The cakes are monotonous in color and choice is limited (I advise you to go to their website first - it has changed ownership- to understand what cakes they now have unlike me driving up to the place thinking nothing has changed). 2. Batrista is ill experienced. If they don't know how to make a matcha latte, please remove it from the menu. It was exactly as another 1-star review described, warm milk with match powder sprinkled on top. 3. The cherry Danish I ordered is also like another 1-star review described, just a bland bread like item with a bit cherry compote on top. It was so hard to finish this bread item since there is not enough cherry compote. It's not that it's mixed into the Danish". I literally had to force myself to finish not to waste food. 4. St. Honore was light

Best chocolate cake in Vancouver!!!Service was great, and coffee was delicious

Neapolitan cake.I SHOULD have read the reviews.The presentation was nice. It looked good from far but far from good.The buttercream was more like sugar icing, sweet, sweet,sweet.I have a sweet tooth but this cake was way to sweet for me.The top layer of cake was dry and tasted old, and the bottom layer was soaked, it was so wet with syrup that it was leaking out the bottom of the cake before it was cut.It was in the fridge till 15 mins before cutting.I don't think it was raspberry coulis, seem more like a raspberry spread with lots of seeds. It was such a disappointment for a 50th birthday cake.No one could finish a1 inch slice. Adults or kids.One star for presentation one star for the friendly server. Zero for quality.

This place has changed owners, it is NOT the same. Prices are out of control, they want 5.50 for a small croissant and 9$ for the tiniest piece of cake you've ever seen.The staff is incapable of making a simple coffee or greeting you with a smile.I complained about the price gouging and was told the price of sugar has doubled, IT HAS NOT.No excuse for this price gouging and small portions. They used to be very busy and are now deservedly empty. Do not waste your time or money coming here, sweet obsessions, more like bitter transgressions.

Always have a great time at this neighbourhood gem. The treats are tasty but creeping up in price through the years. Worth the trip for me always when I want to indulge in some baked goods and coffee; especially on a rainy day!

Customer service is terrible here! The cake that I ordered was pretty expensive ($8 for a small cake) I was ok with that because I assumed the quality would be great. I was very disappointed. The flavour wasn’t there…it honestly just had a bad taste to it. Heavy, bitter, and unpleasant. Worst part was the reaction of the girls behind the counter. When I asked for a refund and explained my issue they were dismissive and snarky. The manager of the shop offered a new slice of cake instead of a refund which I appreciated, but when the girls brought the cake over they decided to slide an unfolded box across the counter and had quite an attitude. Honestly just an unpleasant slightly hostile experience.

I ordered the triple chocolate mousse cake today (June 1). Really looking forward to it beforehand but really disappointed by it afterwards. It was overly sweet, I couldn't even finish a small slice. and you can taste the grainy sugar in the cake. Very disappointed! Especially considering the cost ($45 for a 6 cake).Update (June 5): After several emails and phone calls back and forth

friendly staff and the cafe is super cute! had a vanilla latte but they have lots of options for other pastries. def going back :)

Needing to pick up a cake to celebrate a birthday, we decided to come to Sweet Obsession and check what they had available. Our first option was the Mocha Torte, spongy and chocolatey. Unfortunately, sold out so we went with the Tiramisu cake instead. This was a good call, all the goodness of espresso and mascarpone cream! Looking at the variety of cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and other baked items, we had to stop for coffee and try something... settled for a cappuccino and a Dipped Shortbread Cookie. This was amazing, the chocolate/shortbread combination rich and flavourful! Next time, a Palmier? Or a Pain au Chocolat? Or an Apple Cranberry Crostata?... Come to Sweet Obsession and sit down, take your time and have a coffee the way it's meant to be enjoyed: calmly... Service here was friendly, prices reasonable.

It’s been a while since my last visit. The cake is less delicious and I found a hair while I’m eating the cake(I have different hair color, so it won’t be mine)Im giving 2 stars because it used to be one of my fav spot for tiramisu.
