The GOODS from Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe

Vancouver, BC | Beaucoup Bakery & Café (2150 Fir Street) gives winter’s favourite nut a starring role this season with the release of four new holiday pastries: Lemon Chestnut Croissant, Roasted Mushroom Chestnut Tarte, Coffee Mont Blanc, and Chestnut Panettone Feuilletée. Available starting November 15, 2016, customers can pre-order these new treats or pick them up at the bakery fresh each day.

“I fell in love with chestnuts in France, where in winter months, vendors would roast them on street corners, chocolatiers would have mounds of candied chestnuts in window displays and atop the classic Mont Blanc where I did my internship,” explains Jackie Kai Ellis, owner of Beaucoup Bakery. “Chestnuts and the holidays are so intermingled we thought it would be the perfect inspiration for our new line of winter pastries. Hopefully they will become seasonal favourites.”

The Lemon Chestnut Double Baked Croissant ($4.75) is filled with a dark golden chestnut purée in Beaucoup Bakery’s signature butter croissant and brushed with a refreshing lemon glaze.

A savoury option, the Roasted Mushroom Chestnut Tarte ($5.50) is topped with roasted mushrooms, herbs, chestnut pieces, and chestnut cream on layered pastry.

Coffee Mont BlancCoffee Mont Blanc ($6), Beaucoup Bakery’s take on the traditional chestnut dessert, includes chesnut vermicelli, coffee crème Chantilly, and crunchy meringue with coffee streusel crumbs.

A beautiful Chestnut Panettone Feuilletée ($4.95) is made with chestnut chunks, candied lemon peels, and rum-soaked raisins rolled in a flaky pastry. It is finished with a roasted chestnut glaze.

In addition, due to popular demand, Beaucoup Bakery has designated December 23 and 24 as pre-order pick-up only days (no walk-in pastries but drinks are available). Customers can order from the Beaucoup Classics Holiday Menu which includes our Butter Croissant, Pain au Chocolat, Petit Pain au Chocolat, Kouign Amann, Almond Double Baked Croissant, Chocolate Almond Double Baked Croissant, and Cinnamon Scrolls and call 604-732-4222 or email [email protected] to pre-order their treats.

THE PEOPLE

Jackie Ellis, baker and owner

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.”
