Deserts the Falafel Oasis is one of my favorite places for a vegetarian or vegan meal on Commercial Drive of Vancouver. It’s very reasonably priced (most items are between $5 and $10) and the Chef’s special is really delicious!

-The restaurant menu above the kitchen
-the Chef’s Special platter – my favorite, a combination of Indian-influenced curries, with a slightly spicy but mostly mild taste.
-the Latke Patty – made with flour dough and potato, topped with tomato and various delicious sauces.
-the Falatke Wrap (a wrap made with both a Falafel and a Latke, and some vegetables, very tasty!)

Sweet Obsession dessert restaurant in Vancouver BC Canada

Sweet Obsession Cakes and Pastries
2611 West 16th Avenue
Vancouver, BC, Canada

We enjoyed a really delicious dessert yesterday at Sweet Obsession. It’s in the West Side of Vancouver (a quieter, wealthy neighborhood) and it’s really relaxing to go there because the streets are lined in old beautiful trees and there isn’t the crazy hustle and bustle of other parts of Vancouver.

Sweet Obsession has some of the tastiest desserts in town, and the restaurant atmosphere is really great! I will definitely take my out-of-town guests here when they are visiting Vancouver from Asia. Prices are reasonable too.
