Doughgirls Comfort Kitchen & Bakeshop

Sweet sips to enjoy at the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival

A retro bakeshop in Westbrook Village, Dough Girls specializes in buttery pastries, scratch-made pies, nostalgic desserts and hearty soul food. It’s easy to see why this cozy spot is a go-to for UBC students in need of a comforting home-cooked meal or a sugar rush. Owners Thuy Kelp and Rose Concepción have dreamt up two novel drinks for this year’s Hot Chocolate Festival: a slow-warming Mayan Fire dark hot chocolate made with a peppery blend of chilies and spices; and Artic Ice, a minty white chocolate drink infused with fresh mint, peppermint oil and frozen mint truffle.
