Where to find sweet treats in Steveston Village
Steveston is often considered a destination for fish and chips, ice cream and a stroll along Fisherman’s Wharf. What you might not know is that many businesses in the seaside village offer all kinds of tasty treats: from mini doughnuts to cupcakes, French pastries, Belgian waffles, artisan chocolates, pies and cakes, oh my…. these goodies put the wind in my sail!
Bell's Bake Shop
12211 1st Ave, Richmond BC V7E 3M3Likely the hippest baker in town, Jen Bell sports tattoos and exudes a retro vibe. Her bakeshop has been a growing success since it first opened in 2010. Customers have the choice to dine in the butter yellow bakery or take their order home. Classic cupcake flavours include devil’s food cake, cookies and cream, and red velvet, which are all showcased alongside daily specials. Hold a birthday party at Bell’s and try the giant cupcake that serves 10 to 12 people. Now that’s a cupcake!
Damien's Belgian Waffles Ltd
2-3891 Chatham St, Richmond BC V7E 2Z6Damien’s Belgian Waffles sells a Liege waffle, which is smaller, sweeter and denser than the traditional Belgian waffle. Available in two sizes, mini and regular, the dark and milk chocolate are my personal favourites. Try a mixed bag for the full experience. They never last long when I bring them home!
Outpost Mini Donut Co
110-12240 2nd Ave, Richmond BC V7E 3L8While some people associate mini doughnuts with a certain summer fair, Outpost’s gourmet versions can be found year round in Steveston. The interior feels like a rustic cabin, complete with a fireplace and comfy couch. The warm and tasty cake-based morsels come in five flavours (cinnamon sugar, chocolate, maple, powdered sugar and vanilla) with an additional five seasonal doughnuts added to the menu. Bet you can’t leave without a baker’s dozen!
Steveston Bakery Ltd
12231 No. 1 Rd, Richmond BC V7E 1T6Locals can usually be found hanging out at this quintessential small-town bakery enjoying baked goods or indulging in the popular soup du jour. Open at 7:30 a.m. most days, early risers can get a head start choosing from the breakfast menu. The display case is filled with bread, cakes, cookies, croissants and, my personal favourite, Steveston Bakery’s delicious apple pie.
Lovelarte Coffee Inc
110-12000 1St Ave, Richmond BC V7E 3L9The Sweet Spot is a tiny pastry shop with panache. People travel from far and wide to select from the display cases filled with baked delicacies: mousses, éclairs, cakes, tarts, Viennoiserie, scones, quiche, daily sandwiches and more. Two devoted chefs with impressive credentials work out of the small kitchen (you can view them hard at work from the side window).
