Pix Patisserie / Bar Vivant

Everything was perfect!

A friend took me here to the vending machines for dessert. Paid $12 for the opera cake. I don’t mind paying that much for dessert but the size was so disappointing. Would I get the cake again? No. I didn’t think it tasted that good. I do like the concept though. I think it could go far with better stuff. My friend said the only thing they liked was the crème brûlée. Good to try once though.

I put 4 stars on atmosphere only because I've never been inside the cafe. I've just used the vending machines located outside.

Well, PIX used to be the place to go for "extraordinary desserts" and maybe a nice cup of espresso on a Sunday afternoon. PIX was one of the very few classy quality patisserie places in town, back in time on Division and now on Burnside. Surprise awaits though. The place has been seriously downgraded to a vending machine (open 24/7 as Google Maps indicates - duh). You can walk by, provided the delapidated area and a few wandering soulds do not dicourage you, and then buy some of the expensive and fabulous cakes - from the machine. If you happen to bring your own fresh espresso in a porcelain cup and a nice little plate with silverware from somewhere, and maybe a even a table and chair, you can still sit on the sidewalk, and imaginge what it would like to be in Vienna in a coffee house, and get the same dessert.

Excellent

Went for a snack with some friends from out of town. The entire staff was rude and dismissive.

It is completely unedible
