Pourquoi Pas
Pourquoi Pas is a modern French-inspired artisan patisserie in Coquitlam, BC, founded by self-taught pastry chef Annie Chang, who trained formally in Vancouver before opening her own shop in 2022. The bakery is known for labour-intensive butter croissants (a 4-day process using only real ingredients) and a creative menu spanning viennoiseries, cakes, choux, canelés, savoury pull-aparts, and coffee drinks. It is a genuine neighbourhood café-patisserie offering quality handmade pastries and coffee — a rewarding stop for touring cyclists looking for a proper treat.
