Do you have all your Easter treats ready? If not, don’t panic — New West’s businesses have your back.

We’ve rounded up this list of highlights from some of New Westminster’s favourite foodie destinations. What are you waiting for? Hop to it!

Rocky Point Ice Cream

Rocky Point is marking the season with some seasonal ice cream flavours, including chocolate mini egg, Easter basket (blue-tinted vanilla with colourful coconut flakes and chocolate-dipped chow mein nests) and walnut carrot cake, plus a plant-based confetti swirl.

If you’re looking for dessert for your Easter gathering, there’s also the ever-popular mini egg cake and a plant-based Easter option.

Plus, the shop has a promotion where you can buy a surprise Easter egg for the price of a one-scoop ice cream. Each egg has a token for at least a one-scoop ice cream — but you might also land upon one of the “golden tokens” that entitle you to a free pint a month for a whole year.

Fratelli Bakery

Fratelli’s Instagram page shows a delightful assortment of Easter goodies, including gorgeously decorated cookies (Easter eggs, bunnies and more), mini Cadbury egg cupcakes and double chocolate mini egg cookies. Call ahead to place orders for breads, pastries and cakes for the weekend.

The bakery will be open Friday, April 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, April 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Easter Sunday and Monday).

Kozak Homemade Ukrainian Food

Kozak Ukrainian eatery is accepting pre-orders for its Easter paskas in classic, chocolate (featuring dark chocolate chunks and cranberries) or premium (with apricots, drunk raisins and a hint of orange).

Of course, there’s no saying you have to stick with just Easter breads – you can also pick up a host of other baked goods, or choose from lunch and dinner options including cabbage rolls, perogies, borsch and other Ukrainian favourites.

Trove Desserts

Yes, Trove is back with another array of seasonal treats, available for pickup or local delivery up to Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8.

The Easter menu includes mini egg brownie cookies, coconut lemon cake, carrot cake, Oreo mini egg Nanaimo bars, lemon crinkle cookies and more — including, of course, the company’s signature dessert boxes in a range of sizes, depending how big a crowd you’re feeding.

Pamola Bakery

This little gem is always worth a trip to River Market. Among its festive offerings for spring are festively iced cupcakes and a variety of sweetly decorated sugar cookies.

Bonus: The bakery is open Easter Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Plus, if you happen to be hungry when you stop it, you can always pick up some excellent Mexican food for lunch.
