Toña Bakery & Café - Dunbar's Cozy New Artisan Coffee & Bakery Gem ☕️✨

Like many other food adventures, this charming bakery-café has been sitting in my camera roll for weeks—discovered during cherry blossom season! 🌸 Every time I scroll past those vibrant orange-and-blue photos, I'm instantly transported back... so here's the long-overdue rave! 🤩 Tucked away in West Vancouver's Dunbar neighborhood, this 6-month-old hotspot (with a stellar 4.8 Google rating!) is helmed by Daniel Muñoz—a pastry pro who's worked at Beta 5, Hawksworth, and Nemesis. Expect house-made desserts and craft coffee that'll make you weak in the knees. 🍊 First Impressions: The space is small but mighty—decked out in that signature sun-kissed orange and ocean-blue palette 🌊, with every nook designed for both aesthetic snaps and lazy afternoon daydreaming. (Pro tip: The wicker chair by the window is prime photo real estate—if you can snag it!) ☕ What We Tried: Spanish Latte + Espresso: Smooth, balanced, no bitter aftertaste Cheesecake & Canelé: Flawless textures—creamy meets caramelized crunch 🥰 Coming soon: Eclairs, conchas (Mexican sweet bread), and more! ❤️ Warm Fuzzies Alert: The owner's story hits right in the feels—Muñoz fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening this spot in late 2024, with support from local legends like Thomas Haas and Modus Coffee's Sharif.
