Dessert Directory

Tried the fudgy brownie ala mode it was too yummmmmmm….and also they have vegan options in ala modes as well and a lot of options in gluten free dessert and vegan dessert…..definitely recommend this place if looking vegetarian,vegan and gluten free desserts 😃

Disclaimer: Rest assured that if the name of a place has Dessert in it, let alone starts with it (just how I prefer to commence and then end my meals! *ahem*), my sweet t̶o̶o̶t̶h̶ teeth and namesake tummy have their hearts set on that spot! And, yes, the human anatomy goes for a toss when it comes to matters concerning gastronomical delights! 😁 For starters, it's kinda apt (even if it sounds ironical) that the severe drought of new food experiences this summer ended in a dessert place! True to its name, Dessert Directory is a neat little shop which doubles as a sweet registry offering a wide selection of desserts and drinks. It was fascinating to learn that Abdul, the owner, was inspired to start his own dessert shop catering to every dietary requirement based on his tryst with diabetes at an early age. And, now, his brainchild offers 60+ vegan, gluten-free, keto and sugar-free dessert options - truly a one-of-a-kind go-to spot having a first-mover advantage with its offerings in the Lower Mainland of BC!🏆 Being a chocolate lover I opted for the 6 Layer Chocolate Utopia Cake (just perfect - rich, moist and delicious!). And, tempted by their menu and the different options on display, I ended up getting the vegan Nutella Crepes (slightly on the thicker side, but very tasty and satiating!) and their collaborative offering with The Cheesecake Factory Bakery - Mango Key Lime Cheesecake (Sooooo gooddd! Just perfect! *droolll*) 🤤 The floor space is not much with limited seating up for grabs, and it did get a little stuffy inside on a hot summer evening, even though a hurricane fan tried its best to lower the temperature. The staff were friendly, but it would be wonderful and more hygienic if they could use gloves when preparing the food (I observed that they were working on the crepes with bare hands). Thankfully none of that had a huge impact on the entire experience, and it will be great to see Dessert Directory growing, expanding and improving manifold in the times to come. ✨ Bottomline: I recommend this place, be it for a sugar high and/or a dose of caffeine during the day time, or for a non-alcoholic drink and dessert combo in the evenings. I myself can't wait to return to further explore the listings in this Dessert Directory! 🍰
