La Bise Bakery

Been wanting to try this donut for months, I moved to BC for 4months and finally I tried them. Bought custard cream and bailey donut then canèlè with hazelnut. If I can give more than 5 stars I will give them 10. The donut was so soft and custard was not too sweet that's why I liked it. The canèlè was crispy outside and I loved the inside custard. Next time that I have a chance to go to downtown Vancouver for sure I will buy again.

We noticed this vendor at the PNE farmers market in Vancouver and decided to have a try. We ended up getting one of each of the donuts. Our favourite one so far was the Bailey’s chocolate and the Raspberry flavoured ones! I’m glad to have tried this donut place, it reminds me of Mello perhaps better? but overall had a nice buttery smooth and rich flavour to the donuts. Great staff at the kiosk and good service overall! Prices are fair at 4 for 15$.

Their Passionfruit Chantilly donut is the best donut in Vancouver. Not overly sweet, full of flavour, delicious, light dough. A must-try. You may be confused looking for a front door to enter though, but it’s take-out only. Find her doorbell on the side wall and she pops out to take your order!

Incredible caneles. Crispy and caramelized on the outside with a rich and custardy inside. All of the fillings I tried were awesome, but especially the pistachio. The doughnuts were fantastic as well: fluffy, tender, and light brioche. Raspberry jam was tangy and bright, not too sweet. Passion fruit chantilly was both creamy and fruity. I will definitely be stopping by again.

Had a hard time finding the place because it's inside "Michoacan en Vancouver". The canelés are the best one i ever had. Crispy on the outside and slightly gooey inside. Also top notch donuts. Not too sweet and super flavorful. Highly recommend and will definitely go again. Also i appreciate the quality of the packaging box

Canele was absolutely incredible. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. I just wish they had longer hours so I could make it over on weekdays!

La Bise has the best donuts in town! They are seriously so good you'll keep coming back. My favourite is the passionfruit donuts. It's flavourful without being super sweet

The best canele I've ever had! Very crispy outside and soft inside. I ordered two caneles and two donuts from Uber eats. Donuts are great too. Mascarpone whip was very goodPrices are very fair! I'll definitely try other flavours very soon!

Served out of a crowded commissary kitchen on 5th Avenue La Bise Bakery features the skills of Nicole Scriabin, a former Creative Manager at Food Network UK who only began baking when she returned to Vancouver to assist an elderly family member. Ordered via instagram and obtained by ringing a doorbell, Scriabin herself affable on Friday at 11:00am, La Bise specializes in hand-rolled Donuts and Canele de Bordeaux, each offered with housemade Cream, Curd, Preserves or Compote. Truly a passion project, the “do one thing and do it well” ethos evident on visual examination, Donuts feature Brioche fried at high temperature to create a yielding golden exterior over springy insides while Caneles crack to yield mellow Custard with slight bitterness akin to the very best in France. Perhaps not an ideal spot for purists, though a “Traditional” Canele and Cinnamon Sugar Donut are available daily, La Bise ups the ante by way of everything from Sour Cherries to Cookie Butter, though the very best bites come from delicate Pistachio Cream and award-winning Salted Caramel.

The quality is great, but it's never open. I've walked by it at least 15 times, going at random times during the day and throughout the week. They're either closed, or no longer taking walk-in orders for the day. If you're fortunate enough to get there when they are open, you're in for a treat, but good luck with that.
