Breka Bakery & Café - Bute

Perfect little atmosphere to enjoy a baked good or tasty sandwich any time of day. We visited around 2:30 on a Sunday and it had a constant line but managed it well. So many yummy sandwiches and donuts to choose from. We enjoyed their chicken apricot sandwich and the nut butter donut. Both were very tasty. The service was friendly and quick. We would definitely visit again.

This Breka cafe is large and sunny with lots of seating, including small tables, a communal table, and window counters, but is nonetheless always full when I pass by. Although the design is nice, the atmosphere was really hectic because of how busy they were; trying to get a seat was a free for all, the staff was yelling order numbers, and I felt rushed to order before I got to the front of the line which meant I hadn't gotten to even see everything in the display yet. I did manage to grab a seat at the communal table where I was able to enjoy my lunch. I got an egg salad sandwich, a date & walnut hamantaschen, and a cup of sencha. The challah bread that the sandwich was made with was very light and a little sweet and goes well with the egg salad. I would have liked the sandwich a little more if it had lettuce or greens instead of just the egg salad inside. I like that they pair their sandwiches and savoury pastry pockets with a pickle slice. The hamantaschen was also very good - the cookie was fresh and soft, and I loved the flavour of the date-walnut jam filling. Tea is decent too. I've tried other things from other locations, and in general, I think all of their food is tasty and great quality for the affordable prices. Some of the savoury sandwiches and pockets are a little oily/buttery, but they are very tasty. I've really enjoyed all of the cakes I've tried; the desserts are sweet but they come in reasonable portions so I don't feel like it's too much. The donuts are heavenly, super fluffy, but very sweet. The muffins are the only baked good here that I've been a little underwhelmed by - they're not bad but just average. This is not my usual Breka but I wanted to try this one to switch it up. I probably will not come back to this one because I feel like the other locations are more laid back and have nicer staff, but I am just basing this off one visit, so it's of course entirely possible I just visited at a particularly stressful time. I did feel like it was hard to relax while I was here though.

I had a wonderful café experience enjoying a delicious coffee latte and a berry crumble tart. The latte was smooth and creamy, with just the right balance of coffee and milk—absolutely comforting! The berry crumble tart was a standout. It had a perfect combination of textures: a buttery crust, a rich and slightly tangy berry filling, and a crunchy, nutty topping. Every bite was satisfying, and the sweetness was well-balanced. The price was worth it for the quality and taste. On top of the great food and drinks, the service was excellent, and the place was clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a cozy coffee break—I’d definitely come back!

We had Breka's donuts at Davie location for the first time. We liked them so much we visited this location before heading back to the U.S. on April 2. This location seems a little more spacious than Davie. Because there's a construction going on in front of the cafe, the view isn't good. The food and drinks were tasty as we expected. I should have ordered pistachio donuts again. I wish I lived in Vancouver!

Breka Bakery is astounding! A 24-hour bakery in downtown Vancouver, with some of the more creative donuts, scones, muffins, and other baked goods. We tried the pistachio filled pistachio glazed donut (see photo). It was heavenly! Live in the United States, so ruing that we can't visit Breka Bakery daily. We cannot recommend this bakery more highly if you are in Vancouver.

Atmosphere was cool the people behind the counter always asked if we wanted help. And the food was good nothing made me go I'm coming back for this. But the food wasn't bad thus me giving 5 stars. Only downfall is one bathroom when I was there. There was a line.

December 2024 Wonderful coffee shop hide behind a busy street. This shop is a destination. Great selection of flavorful and tempting pastries. Opening 24 hours serving different customers. Just enjoyable simply looking at the wide range of different dessert options. Definitely worth a visit.

Adorable cafe with abundant options and great atmosphere. I specifically recommend the pretzel ham and cheese croissant and the white chocolate raspberry cheese cake. 10/10 you must try.
