Trees Organic Coffee

My friend has been dying to come here as she read so much about this place.  There are review on this place saying they serve the best cheesecakes in Vancouver.  We came here to try.  We got the Mocha Cheesecake.  It's CAD$7 a slice.  A little on the pricey side?  Well, it does say it's the No.1 cheesecake shop.  They have this sign saying it in their shop.  The cake is not soft like the ones in Cheesecake Etc, yet not very stiff either.

Trees Organic is apparently known for having the best cheesecake in Vancouver… I wouldn’t know because I’ve never tried it here before. Perhaps on another occasion. No, on this visit, we were just looking for some Hot Chocolate. Well, that and a Lemon Loaf slice. The hot chocolate, capped with a generous layer of whipped cream, hit the spot on this cold, dreary day.

Cheesecake goodness!. I've been to multiple locations of the Trees Organic Coffee Houses and I have to say that this location is my favourite. I love the modern look and it is always nice to sit in their cafe while enjoying a latte with the sun (or rain) gazing in from their floor to ceiling spanning windows. I often order a muffin or scone (spinach and feta is my favourite) which is baked fresh every morning. Every once in a while, I treat myself to cheesecake, the key lime is my favourite! It has the creamiest texture and melts in my mouth. It has the perfect ratio of tartness to sweetness. Props to the bakers! The best thing about this cafe is their service though. I'm always greeted by smiling faces, especially by the manager who makes an effort to get to know my name and ask me how my day is. This place is definitely one of my favourite coffee shops. Very impressed by their food and great service!

Ended up here as Plaisir Sucre was closed.. We wanted to try Plaisir Sucre yesterday, but they were closed. We did not feel like going on a wild goose chase looking for another spot, so we took a leap of faith and walked in. Can 't comment on the coffee, as we did not get any, we just got a couple slices of their 'best cheesecake in town ' to go. I got the key lime, and my friend got the one with with chocolate and cherries. They were decent, but certainly not the best cheesecake in town.. Good texture, nice and creamy, but just lacking in excitement factor. I 'd like to have fresh fruit or some sort of complimenting coulis to go with it. Also, we asked for forks and they forgot to give them to us even though we were the only ones standing there. We only realized this after we arrived T the beach, so we ended up using my hair comb to eat them in desperation... All in all, can 't complain. I didn 't think I felt like cheesecake, but changed my mind when I ate them, so that 's saying something.

Staff are always friendly when I have visited. Cheesecake is my favourite. Hit drink selection is good. My go to for a quick dessert.
