Desserts Artisanaux — Restaurant in Vancouver

Came with my Cantonese mom to check out this dessert place. We came at a good time ~6:40pm and managed to get free parking on the side of the road right in front of the desert place (if not we would’ve probably had to park really far) and there was no wait for a table (although by the time we left people were lining up outside). The place is cozy and I love the aesthetic.

My mom and I are durian lovers so we ordered the Supreme Triple Durian with Miky Durian Soup and the Durian & Coconut Jelly Noodles with Water Chestnut Paste (on promo rn btw). We also got the Red Date and Goji Berry Milk Tea and the smoothie.

AS A DURIAN LOVER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SUPREME TRIPLE DURIAN. The durian flesh is so good and the sago milk go so well with it. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. If you’re not a fan of sweetness then try the Durian & Coconut Jelly Noodles with Water Chestnut Paste. Personally, I didn’t like this as much (except for the durian flesh). The jelly doesn’t have much flavour and the soup isn’t very sweet (but you can ask for some sugar cane syrup). My mom doesn’t like sweet things so she enjoyed it as is. Not sure how I felt about the drinks but they’re are big portion sizes. The goji berry milk tea just sorta tasted like watered down milk tea with dates and goji berry but my mom enjoyed it a lot. The smoothie was average (not bad), I suggest you try the hk style iced milk tea instead.

I saw the mixed reviews so I was worried but we personally had a great experience (Cantonese mom approved) and will probably come back again with...

This is hands down one of the best Asian dessert places I’ve ever been to! Everything we tried was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked.

The Durian dessert was a standout: fresh, creamy, and full of that rich, distinctive durian flavour that durian lovers will appreciate. The texture was smooth and velvety, perfectly complemented by the subtle sweetness of the base.

The Black Glutinous Rice with Mango was another highlight. The rice had the perfect bite, soft yet pleasantly chewy and wasn’t overly sweet, allowing the natural nuttiness of the grain to shine through. The fresh mango added a bright, juicy contrast that balanced the dish wonderfully.

The Mango & Pomelo Sago was refreshing and vibrant, with ripe, sweet mango chunks and just the right amount of pomelo to give a citrusy tang. The sago pearls were cooked perfectly, and the chilled coconut milk base tied everything together into a tropical treat.

What I love most is that each dessert tasted clean and natural, nothing felt artificial or overly sugary. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the presentation of every dish showed care and attention to detail.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic and high-quality Asian desserts. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Side note street parking is very limited and this place...

My partner and I went to Desserts Artisanaux on a Monday night, we waited for around 10-15 minutes in line for a table after putting our names and phone number down.

The store itself has a lot of decorations, including a set up with a well thats around 2 staircase tall. While we were waiting, we witnessed a young kid fell, there was no caution signs or anything for protection. Meaning someone could've fall and injury themselves. Staff wasn't very caring or compassionate about the incidents.

There is also a big tree branch thats on the wall, certain pointy parts was sticking out, which could potentially be hazard too. Especially if I were to lean back.

It was very busy despite having 2-3 staff in the kitchen, and 1-2 dealing with customers, delivering food. Overall, from what I can tell that all the food on the menu should be pre-prep, hence there shouldnt be a lot of delay per say.

We ordered a Red Date Roasted Milk and a mango mochi dessert. They are normal, not out of the world. However, with the price they charged I do not think it is worth the price, size is small, taste average, service is okay ( considering they are super busy).

Because of how the store layout, tables and chairs were often too closed together, music was not matching the whole vibe, and it was very noisy...
