Biscotti in Vancouver area

[LyndaM]

Hi - first time poster. Would like to hear from other biscotti lovers. Where to you buy your biscotti? Most of the ones I buy at coffee shops are very dry and lacking any flavour. Bought some good biscotti last summer at the Trout Lake Market but when I went back next week to get more, the stall wasn't there. Please share your sources - bakeries or cofffee shops!! Thanks

I am heading up to Mix The Bakery on Monday,

I will check it out ad report back. So far, everything that I have had from there has been very good.

Cheers

What sort of biscotti are you looking for? The type that's slightly more tender due to some oil or butter in the dough, or the traditional kind that's hard and must be dunked in coffee?

My husband is a biscuit dunker and loves to keep a big stash of biscotti at home at all times for his weekend newspapers & coffee. We (he I should say) buy biscotti from Mix Bakery on 10th. Neil, what did you think? My personal favourite is the one with toffee and chocolate chips in them!!

Ecco Il Pane use to carry amazing biscotti but just like their sour cherry and chocolate buns, they are no longer sold:(

When I use to get my daily espresso at Cafe Artigianno I would often buy their biscotti. I'm not sure who supplied them but they were the soft kind that didn't seem to be double baked. Their pistachio & cranberry biscotti goes so well with their latte!

Even double-baked ones are less than tooth-breakingly hard, if they're fresh.

^My new favourite recipe (no oil, but 3 eggs and 4 yolks) are still pretty damn hard after an hour out of the oven! But I like them that way...

Terra Breads has a very nice biscotti with some chocolate bits in it. It is hard though, but coffee dunking helps and adds to the fun of it all.
