Slavic Rolls offers a great tasting pastry, made fresh in front of customers from a company that doesn’t believe healthy food has to taste bad or be boring. They are a pastry dessert, ribbon wound around a wooden cylinder, rolled in sugar and cinnamon. The pastry is baked on a slowly turned rotisserie, above an open fire. As it bakes, it caramelizes the sugar, giving off irresistible aroma and addictive taste. We add Bavarian Creme, Lemon curd, Strawberry Glaze on the top Vanilla Gelato, Nutella, chocolate sauce and some decorations.
Ingredients: Pastry dough grandma recipe flavours are all Hallal & Kosher Bakery Made.
Offered: Specific days mobile locations check on Vancouver street food app , Instagram,FB.
