The GOODS from Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe

Vancouver, BC | Spring’s favourite vegetable makes a sweet arrival this season as Beaucoup Bakery & Café brings rhubarb to life in three limited, new pastries and one special iced tea. From April 11, 2016 until June 20, 2016, customers can enjoy an Olive Oil Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Tart, Rhubarb Nest, Strawberry Rhubarb Croissant, and Rhubarb Hibiscus Iced Tea.

“Rhubarb signals the first of the growing season with summer fruits to come,” explains Jackie Kai Ellis, owner of Beaucoup Bakery. “I’m really excited about the trio of new rhubarb pastries, and this fragrant chamomile lemongrass iced tea using rhubarb hibiscus syrup. Our team really hopes these additions will become new seasonal favourites.”

The Olive Oil Strawberry Rhubarb Tart ($5.50 each) is filled crème anglaise soaked brioche using local Domenica Fiore olive oil. It is topped with a strawberry rhubarb compote, roasted and fresh strawberries with a fresh rhubarb garnish.

A beautifully layered pastry, the Rhubarb Nest ($4 each) is filled with rhubarb poached with hibiscus and Bellocq’s Le Hammeau tea, vanilla pastry cream, and topped with almond streusel.

Our Beaucoup Bakery croissant is baked into a Rhubarb Strawberry Croissant ($4.50). It is filled familiar flavours and textures with rhubarb strawberry compote, almond frangipane, and cinnamon oat streusel topping to mimic a strawberry rhubarb crumble.

Just in time for warmer weather, the Rhubarb Hibiscus Iced Tea should hit the spot, featuring Bellocq’s Le Hammeau tea and a housemade hibiscus rhubarb syrup.

All items are made fresh daily and can also be pre-ordered for pick-up in large quantities. For more information, please visit www.beaucoupbakery.com.

ABOUT BEAUCOUP BAKERY

Beaucoup Bakery & Café opened its doors in December 2012, offering French-inspired pastries and childhood favourites with some smart, unique twists. The reason for opening Beaucoup Bakery was simple, to leave the world a happier place, even if through something as simple as a cookie. The company’s priority is to put care and pride into everything it does, from the ingredients used and the little details that go into the baking, through to the way the company treats valued customers and friends.

“At Beaucoup Bakery, we want to share amazing food, prepared with passion,” says owner and baker Jackie Ellis. “The biggest compliment we can receive is seeing someone’s eyes roll back and hear them say that it’s the best thing they’ve ever tasted! We strive to make people love food as much as we do!”

Beaucoup Bakery offers sweet pastries, cakes, seasonal tarts, cookies and viennoiserie, along with sandwiches made in-house—all of which can be enjoyed “to go” or in the charming 16-seat café. The café also includes a small retail area featuring hand-picked food and lifestyle items that match Beaucoup’s commitment to quality: coffee from Vancouver roaster 49th Parallel, Mellifera Bees honey, Lovely Home Idea linens, Black & Blum water bottles and Aquaovo thermoses.

HONOURS AND RECOGNITION

“The opening of Ellis’s South Granville bakery was delayed and then delayed again. And again. The resulting wait created a near-unmeetable expectation upon opening. Which, with the help of her perfect croissants and other transformative pastries, Ellis has been able to exceed.”

“Graphic designer turned boulanger Jackie Ellis opened her South Granville bakery just before Christmas, and made us wonder how we ever did without her decadent treats.”
