La Forêt Jubilee
La Forêt Jubilee has been a Burnaby favourite for pastry lovers and coffee aficionados since it opened its doors, known especially for delicate French patisserie and single-origin espresso. Walk in and you notice the glass cases filled with éclairs, tartes, and mille-feuille, all crafted to order in their on-site bakery. If you want a café that treats baking like a craft, this is it.
Their menu covers breakfast, lunch, and afternoon treats with precision. Expect croissants laminated daily, pain au chocolat, and seasonal fruit tartes. Savoury options include quiche Lorraine and a smoked salmon baguette made with locally milled sourdough. For drinks, they pour a single-origin espresso from a Vancouver roaster alongside loose-leaf teas (Earl Grey and Japonica green). They also offer French press by request and house-made lemon curd for their scones. Pastries are sold individually and in boxes for events, and the bakery supplies pastries for nearby offices and small catering orders.
The team at La Forêt Jubilee blends French technique with neighbourhood friendliness. Bakers train under a chef with over 12 years’ experience in European-style pastry. Staff are happy to explain flavour profiles, suggest pastry-and-coffee pairings, or prepare a box for take-away. The small dining room seats around 30 people and has a relaxed rhythm, perfect for a quick morning coffee or a slow afternoon treat. They keep a modest recycling and compost routine to reduce waste and reuse boxes for catering when customers request.
Locals choose La Forêt Jubilee because it consistently delivers handcrafted pastries in a welcoming setting, close to Metrotown and local shops. If you want a reliable place for morning croissants, special occasion desserts, or a personable catering touch, this cafe fits naturally into Burnaby life. Phone: 604-428-8155.
