An Olympian’s Guide to the Best Pastries in Vancouver

"A 24-hour chain he frequented during late-night training; as he recalls, “This one’s a chain, but three or four years ago, I went there all the time because it wasn’t too expensive. It’s a 24-hour bakery. I would train late into the night and go there after. They have everything from a dulce de leche doughnut to a variety of cakes and chocolate mousse. It’s definitely a step up from Tim Hortons, but not on the level of Nemesis and other places. I was there recently; it’s still super affordable. I see a lot of students there studying late into the night, having their little pastry and a coffee.”" - Aman Dosanj

Both Brownie Chocolate Mousse to go. This mousse taste great! The mousse is not too sweet. The only thing I hope is that the brownie portion should be a bit more bigger to have a balance l. Love the chocolate ganache coating, it kept the house layer moist. The addition of chocolate bark on top was also a great touch. Highly recommend this. The staff were always very nice, and the service was quick.

It's 24 hour with free WiFi! Great place for students to study or get some work done on your laptop. You can smell the fresh bread being baked in house at 4am. And did you know they have gluten free desserts as well? They are delicious and won't leave you feeling like crap. Clean place and very friendly service. I tried their breakfast bagel today and didn't expect them to have it panini pressed which was nice! A wow factor! I got a few pastries for some friends too. Make sure you also try it out! 😊

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.

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!

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!

This is my favorite bakery of all time. Everything they make at any of their locations is phenomenal. I always buy everything, cause how could you choose just one anything here!? I definitely have my favorites, but I try to get something new also. I adore this place, I come from Abbotsford with my Love to fill up the pantry and my cookies jars often ♡ and oh my gosh when Breka makes pretzels...♡♡♡♡ Thank you Breka!!!!!♡ My faves to note: Lychee Raspberry Eclair Panna Cotta with strawberry sauce Chocolate dipped Almond Cookie Kuffle cookie Breakfast cookie (All of the cookies are delicious, and if you buy 12 you get a bonus cookie!) Everything is amazing here, literally everything.

I really wish the orders tasted as good as they look..but, sadly, huge disappointment!! Marble brownie cheesecake was so stale like it was made of an actual marble:)!!! And the crushed coffee jelly latte (which was supposed to have vanilla) didn’t taste like vanilla at all… The place was also super noisy, but staff were nice. Overall, Not recommended..

Good spot for a quick drink and sweet treat. The white chocolate hot cocoa was delicious (and the whipped cream was lovely). Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors as well, it was easy to grab a table to sit for a bit.

An average bakery/coffee shop. The food is ok, lots of options of pastries and savoury snack. I'm jus disappointed each time I buy something. The best thing I tried was the mango mini donut. The cookies and pastries are not as good as other bakeries around town. I also got matcha latte a few times but it's just too sweet and milky. I'd not recommend it.

This was a local chain that popped up everywhere so I had to check it out. It was very busy late at night and it was busy in the morning as well when I went back the next day. They have a very large variety of baked goods- from pastries to breads to desserts and sandwiches. I got their salted caramel praline cake and a tuxedo cake. When I went back the next morning, I got their maple pecan doughnut and their pistachio filled doughnut. Everything was very good , but pretty subtle on sweetness and flavor. The flavor that came through the most was on the pecan maple donut and that was really sweet. The two cakes looked better than they tasted even though they tasted yummy. The flavor was very subtle so I wish there was more salted caramel or praline taste, and more fudgy taste on the tuxedo cake. The filling on the pistachio donut was a little skimpy though it tasted good. I just wish there was more of it. I still recommend this café because they have lots of seating and I really like the fun buzzing atmosphere. If I were a local, I would definitely frequent this bakery and their other chain locations too. I would definitely try their other things because there were other things that looked even more delicious. Oh my friend did try the Earl Gray cream puff and that was delicious and definitely had lots of flavor. I wish they had more cream puffs.

Needed to find a late night, quick casual meal and Breka fit the bill. Tons of pastries & sandwiches to choose from and everything we ordered was pretty tasty. The location we went to was looking quite run down though, with leaning tables and trash on the floor near the walls of the dining area. Still, I would come back again. Just do takeout next time.

Breka on Bute Street is a busy cafe with a wide range of selections, from pastries to desserts to sandwiches. On my most recent visit, I got an iced horchata latte, along with a turkey sandwich following a long bike ride with a friend late in the evening. The food and drinks are exceptional at a reasonable price. We sat outside, however, there's seating indoors as well. Just keep in mind this location is very busy, so it might be hard to find a spot!

Tried two items from Breka Bakery after a long day of adventuring around Stanley Park. We tried the TikTok famous ketchup cookie (yay Canada Day) and a kuffle, which had an interesting description about cream cheese and only cost a little over a dollar. The ketchup cookie was highly overrated in our opinion. At times it tasted like we were eating barf, but the pieces of white chocolate chip were a nice touch. The kuffle was quite good! It was only two bites big but tied us over until the next meal :) I also loved their interior design and it seemed like a great place for young professionals to do corporate work. They had pretty interesting saddle-like seats which I'd never seen before and they were surprisingly comfy!

Awesome spot that's open 24/7 for donut, bread, pastries and cake. Friendly quick service in the morning so it's perfect for swinging by for a quick bite. While most people take it to go, there is casual cafe seating if you choose to eat there instead.

We were staying nearby and in town for a show that ended at 10PM. We had a late lunch and were hungry but didn't want a heavy meal. Break to the rescue! Besides having a lovely array of pastries, sandwiches and coffee drinks, they are open 24/7, which is the best. This location was jam packed, but their order/pay/pick up service system was quick and we were out the door with some quinoa veggie salads, "cretzel" sandwiches, banana bread and a sausage roll. No one was wild about the sausage roll, but everything else was great. It's a cute counter service cafe with outdoor seating if you are stopping by during the day (though plenty of folks were using the outdoor seating on the mild February night we visited). This place will definitely be on my go-to list during our visits!

My partner has a sweet tooth, so when my cousin spoke highly of this place during our visit to Vancouver, we had to try it. Situated downtown, the place was buzzing with people and we had to wait in queue. The interiors are well lit and spacious but the assortment of items displayed before you keep you glued and simply take your breath away. From sandwiches, cake slices, breads, hot beverages they have a lot. It can be a bit overwhelming with so many options. We decided to go with cake slices and a sandwich. We ordered: Tiramisu Strawberry Shortcake Tuxedo Truffle Black forest Turkey Provolone Sandwich Each bite took me on a delicious adventure. The sandwich was well toasted with a nice crunch, the meat was tender and overall had rich flavours of pesto, garlic spread and provolone. But it was the cakes that blew was mind. All the cakes tasted exquisite. They were soft, creamy and had the right amount of sweetness. Each bite made me to want more. My favorite was the Strawberry Shortcake -- it was heavenly. Overall, this was one of my best food experiences in Vancouver To foodies: Do not miss this place if you are in Vancouver. Must Try. To restaurant: Amazing cakes. Great service. I'll be back for some more. Signing off, CanIndian Foodie ...Stay Hungry

Don't get: -matcha latte. They changed the formula? and it's too sweet now - Black Forest cake is a no because of the almond/cherry flavoring. - chestnut panna cotta, taste like mouse, too much chocolate sauce for me Do get: Pistachio filled donuts are good

We landed In Vancouver late at night. By the time we got to our room, we were dead tired and hungry. Hubby went and got me a turkey panini and lavender lemonade. The sandwich was on wonderful fresh bread and fresh ingredients. Can't remember what Hubby had, sadly, but he loved it! We ate some other baked treats before our cruise left, and service was always fast and friendly, whatever time of day. If you're downtown go check it out!

I absolutely loved visiting this place! I visited when I came to BC in February and had been thinking about the London Fog donut ever since! I went to two locations when I came back to BC in May. It was neat to see the different vibes at the different locations. I tried lots of items but the London fog donut was my favorite. If I ever make my way back up to BC I will be back!

The place is small with a little seating on the ground floor, some outside seating, and some upstairs seating. The place seems to always be packed and there's a pretty good line to get their goodies. They have sandwiches, but I've only ever had dessert there. So many great options! It may be a little pricey, but it's worth it. The one downside is that it's hard to tell what's in the case until you get up to it, but the staff is trying to keep the line moving and doesn't want you standing around and looking for too long. They might even get a little testy with you... Still, I'll gladly go back.

We enjoyed a light dinner of sandwiches and a bakery treat. Food was good. It was super busy and we had a hard time finding a place to sit. It was a little chaotic and challenging to figure out where to order and where to pick up.

My son and I stopped here for a causal brunch. I had a latte and Fritta Bites, and he had a Chicken Pot Pie. The food was all good for quick and reheated, and they were busy enough but we were able to find a table easily to eat at. We'll probably do a few more causal breakfast/brunch here and pick up sandwiches for outings since those looked pretty good as well!

The young, Asian girl working the cash register tonight needs to be re-trained for customers! I'll tell you why in a sec... The display was absolutely eye pleasing, clean, and organized. Prices affordable. It was a long line, but it moved pretty efficiently. They appeared to have plenty of workers to keep the line going and they were proactive about getting orders while customers were in line. There is no drip coffee here, I was shocked! They do have a variety of coffee drinks but no simple drip coffee. We shared a strawberry shortcake and a earl grey puff pastry, the names may off some, but when I say the BEST desserts, I mean the best. Fresh. So they had outside and inside tables, not enough for the crowd but we found a table. Now back to the cashier. So after I ordered and tipped WELL, I asked if she had a wet rag or towel that I could use for our table because it was so dirty. She looked at me and said... no lie... "no, all we have are those brown napkins" and points to the DRY napkins by the trash cans with no offer to have someone wipe it for us. I almost asked for my tip back lol. I found a bottle of cleaner a worker must have left by the dirty dish collection and cleaned my own table. I mean, something simple like that just goes a long way. I always say in my field of work, "make sure YOU are always the good experience for someone". Would I go back? Absolutely, I cannot let a young, inexperienced person stop a thing.

This is an awesome bakery! There are so many options (including sandwiches, which I wasn't aware of), so it's difficult to choose. All of the baked goods and desserts look very tasty. I got a cheesecake brownie and cake pop to share. Both were very rich and decadent, which was exactly what I was looking for. Yum! I also like that this bakery is open 24/7! We came late on a weekend and it was pretty lively.

(Written by my 13 year old) Wassup pookies!! For todays slay snack, we went to Breka Bakery. It was so good, and there wasn't a wait. Open 24/7, this is a great place for midnight snacky snacks for those of you that identify yourself as big backs (I do). But anyways.. there is a very wide variety of grub, and drinks anyone could call bussin bussin. So, yur, make sure to hit up this place!

Came here late in the evening. Everything in the area was closed. Fortunately for me I ran into a gentleman in the lobby who said I know the beat late night spot in the area. We ended up here. It was about a 5 minute walk from my hotel. Can't remember what I ordered, but it was phenomenal. Price was right, service was great, and the food hit the spot. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely give this spot another chance and a more thorough review. Till then if you need late night munchies check this place out.

I came here during a vacation, when I had to take a quick break and get some work done. As an American, I was SHOCKED finding out that there's a 24/7 cafe (I think that alone already deserves 5 stars, especially with the consistent quality throughout the evening). This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, but be warned that it may be difficult to find seats as it's so busy. There are so so many options for drinks, desserts, and foods, but I only tried an iced Americano and a couple small desserts. The coffee itself was a bit burnt but I didn't mind all that much. And, the desserts were also alright. They aren't as good as if you were to go to a specialized bakery, however, for a place open 24/7 and a small bite with friends while hanging out, it isn't bad. If this place weren't 24/7 I would rate it a 4/5 as the food is meh, but I just love how convenient this cafe is!

The Monster cookie and the glazed doughnut were perfect! The tiramisu was too mousy, so wouldn't recommend unless are into that. For a 24 cafe I am impressed! Decent coffee and juices too.

I don't know why we didn't try this place earlier but place was AMAZING! We had the hardest time finding good coffee in Vancouver (I know I know) and we finally made our way here and it didn't disappoint. It was flavorful and just YUMMY! I definitely made up for the Tim Horton debacle that we had :/ this place is also open 24/7!!! They have so much pastries and sandwiches that you just wanna get it all. We tried some of their donuts: the pistachios filled, hazelnut filled, custard filled donut, croissant and Ruben sandwich-- ALL AMAZING! They have a pretty big sitting area inside and outside if you feel brave enough for the cold. Great service! I highly recommend this place when visiting Vancouver. Esp on a late night. Take advantage of them being open 24/7.

Even if you don't like baked goods you're gonna wanna try this place. Art, Taste, Quality, Pride and Zen sums this place up. Their selection of breads, sandwiches, cakes, torts and pastries is impressive and what makes it more thrilling is that it tastes as good as it looks. The space itself is very relaxing but can get incredibly busy. I love the design and decor inside (see pic) as well as the space outside, which you can enjoy on beautiful Bute Street near Robson. I first tried their croissant at their Davie location and it was consistently perfectly done here as well. I love coconut anything, so I was thrilled to see that they have coconut macaroons as well as coconut doughnuts. I kind of have a love/fear feeling toward this place, because I'm a bread fiend and when I walk into this place my self control is tested to its limits. That's how good it is. I don't do lineups. Ever. Even if Luis Vuitton had a 50% off sale I wouldn't stand in a line up, but for this place I would. I want to try one of their torts....ok gotta go. Yeah, you should try this place.

Ok first of all, we went here at 3 am so take this review with a grain of salt! The fact that they are even open at that time of night with tea, coffee, pastries and warm sandwiches alone is a in my book! The ambience was not sketchy at all and there was security too which totally made me feel at easy being with a group of females at 3:30 in the morning! Will definitely be back!

I ordered the white peach black iced tea and two frittatas. The ham and cheddar frittata was really good and the spinach and yam was okay for me. The ice tea was delicious! Inside was super packed and busy but the line goes by so fast I barely had time to think about what I wanted. I recommend looking at the menu beforehand because they have so much to offer!

We came in for a quick breakfast while our group was still waking up. It's pretty cool that the bakery is open 24 hours and I wonder if they're constantly making fresh bread and pastries even during the late hours. It's really something walking in and just smelling the coffee brewing and all the fresh baking smells. As you line up, take a quick look at everything displayed. You order before you even get to the cash register so that everything is boxed up and ready as soon as you're ready to pay. All Butter Croissant: So crispy and buttery. Such a simple yet delicious breakfast. They're decently big too so share with someone and order a second pastry to try. Kuffle: These are really small, almost bite-sized pastries. I misread it and thought it was filled with cream cheese but it's actually cream cheese dough. It's pretty good and not a bad price if you just want to try one. Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Pocket: I loved that this was in a puff pastry, making every bite crispy. Eat this fresh so you don't lose that crispiness! Comes with a pickle spear. I would pair this with something else if you're trying to make a meal out of it. It's not that big or thick. Can't wait to come back and try their other pastries! I can only imagine how good one of their savory ones taste after midnight, after a night of partying.

Breka is great for a quick coffee or tea, (they have an awesome apple cider too!) It's always packed with people and I love that it's open 24/h. Friendly & helpful staff as well. Unfortunately due to my peanut allergy, the staff told me it would be unfit for me to eat any of their food (pastries, but also the breads, sandwiches, lunch items etc) makes me think they don't try to minimize cross-contamination in the bakery. So, if you have any dietary concerns, definitely check with the staff before you order!

I'm a baked goods fanatic, so when a friend had this on his itinerary as a stop, I was all for it! Right when you walk in you get hit with that amazing freshly baked goods smell, and once you see the display cases of all the choices... be ready to hold yourself back from buying one of everything! - PARKING - Street parking available, but we were staying at a hotel nearby so we just walked! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - There are a few tables outside and a good amount inside, although every seat was taken while we were there. The line to order unfortunately ends up blocking the view of the display cases because it's always so long, so it's a bit hard to peruse and decide what items you want before a staff member asks you. It seems like by the time you get halfway to the cash register, they ask what you'd like so they can box it up and have it ready for you at the end to pay. I'd suggest taking a peek before getting in line otherwise you might miss an item! - FOOD - London Fog Donut ($2.50): Super fluffy yeast donut with a delicious Earl Grey infused glaze on top. Not too overpowering either! I like yeast donuts more than cake donuts because of how soft some places make them, and Breka is definitely one of those places. All Butter Croissant ($2.75): I knew I had to get a Croissant after seeing the amount of baked bread and goods they had - I just had a feeling it would be amazing. I was right! So flaky and buttery when eaten fresh, and even after I brought it back to the hotel, it was still just as good. - OVERALL - So many options to choose from, but such little time in our weekend trip. Which means I'm definitely coming back to try more if I ever visit again! Definitely get a Croissant, you won't regret it!

Baked goods (muffins, donuts) are good but giving them a 2 star rating for service (downtown Vancouver location). Wait times are so long when I've gone. Waited a long time for my latte only to find out they put my drink on counter with wrong number. Staff member could care less when I pointed out to them I've been waiting so long due to their error. Will spend my money elsewhere.

Coming out of Stanley Park and somewhat lost stumbled across Breka Bakery and as hungry and it seemed inviting went inside Lots of pleasant staff and the selection of baked goods was extensive. Got some sandwiches for later and pastries for present Lots of choices and our favorites were the maple nut donuts, chocolate eclairs and number one tops was the passion fruit tart. It had a great bite that was both tart and sweet We enjoyed all so much that stopped in again the second day on our way home Most clean and cozy inside and again staff so polite and eager to serve If in Vancouver a stop at this bakery is well worth it Jim at Maplelag in Minnesota

Easily my favorite bakery of all time. The items were incredible delicious. The olive bread with sun dried tomato was delicious and the bakery will pre slice the bread for you. It is really aromatic and was really enjoyable to eat on its own. The cream puffs are well filled and are large (the size of a fist). The matcha and earl grey flavors are intense and you can definetly taste the flavors in all the items. The pistachio donut is easily my favorite item of all time at any bakery. It is a must have item that I would recommend getting. I could easily eat 6-10 of them everyday for a week! The coffee donut had an intense pleasant coffee flavor, but was a slight disappointment that it wasnt filled with anything since it was a long shape and i was expecting it to be more of an eclair sort of dessert item

We were tourists & got out of a movie at a late hour. Every place that was still open wanted $$$$ to fill our bellies. We were so grateful to stumble across Breka. We marveled at the size of the line, waited patiently, and grabbed a couple of paninis that hit the spot. Staff was efficient & friendly. Turns out, we had a hotel room with a view of the front of this place. I'd hop out into our balcony every couple of hours & the line never failed to impress. That says something. They even blocked off a portion of the street, so the masses can have a place to feast & mingle. It's a happy little affordable spot. Don't miss it.

Visited 10/24/22 as tourist - Busy at 8:30pm on Monday. Inside seating was full; a lot of outdoor seats were also taken, even with 9c temperature. We got our food to go, from a cashier offering brisk service with a smile. Reuben sandwich, 4/5. Chicken salad sandwich, 2/5. Spinach & Artichoke Pocket, 4/5. Apple Fritter, 1/5. Undercooked interior is disgusting; one star for seasoning and small but noticeable pieces of apple. Earl Grey Cream Puff, 2/5. Good sized, decent frosting, large amount of filling; but the slightly gummy cream filling is strikingly flavored with bergamot oil that's like a slap in the face. This is my second visit (the other was years ago) but my impression is the same - the reason for the high praise is for the hours, huge selection (you'll find something you'll like if you try enough items) and the relatively low price to have somewhere to hang out.

Huge variety of items and most pastries and drinks were good. Friendly servers and fast service. Consistently busy, crowded and rushed at times, but it's possible to find seating as customers are usually in and out. Small and big tables are available. Ambiance is nice for hanging out solo or with friends.

Nice modern bakery serving drinks, pastries and sandwiches. Constant lines, shortage of tables/chairs, however if you can bear the cold, outside seating is available. What irks me are the selfish idiots who bring their laptops and hog up the tables for hours on end. Nice selection of pastries, cakes and cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth. Although not listed, they do have decaffeinated coffee. The mango coconut mousse cake was world class, the strawberry creamcheese pastry was a bit dry, i will be back as I got my eye on a few other pastries to try

A 24/7 bakery with sweet and savoury treats? Why isn't this available in Toronto?? I can just imagine the popularity this would have with university students who need a study snack, time-strapped business people who need a quick lunch, and hungover people who crave something warm and slightly unhealthy at 4AM. I was lucky to be close enough to two Breka locations and both had incredibly impressive amounts of pastries. Like stretching across a whole side of the store. This one on Bute street is a bit nicer than the one on Davie but the food is the same (I think). The selection is overwhelming: practically any type of pastry you might dream of from cookies and danishes to whole cakes and loaves of bread. You can ask them to warm it up and then take it over to the nice sunken sitting area to enjoy. And let's not forget the cafe part in 'Breka Bakery & Cafe'. They've got a selection of all your favourite coffee and tea classics. There's also a couple of seasonal flavours thrown in. When I was visiting, it was lavender season and their lavender tea latte was perfectly steaming and not overwhelmingly floral. Also saw Hojicha on the menu, which I would have loved to try.

Isn't Breka open 24hrs?? I don't understand why they close one washroom at 7pm, when clearly this is an extremely busy location and many people need to use the washroom. Doesn't make any sense to me. Washing down society more.... It ruins peoples experience when visiting an establishment. It took me 30 minutes to use the washroom.

Stopped here for a quick breakfast. Lots of choices. Staff was really nice. Had a ham and cheese cretzel which was really good. It was savory but there was a touch of sweet. Really enjoyed it. They also had all kinds of cookies, donuts and pastries. They also had lots of cakes and puddings. Also had an iced latte which was good.

Some cakes are so delicious and some taste stale and so-so, but at least the selection is good! I love that they do half sweet drinks with milk-alternatives. Decaf mocha, half sweet, with oat milk is my favorite. Red velvet cake and the caramel macchiato praline crunch are my two fav desserts. Staff is always friendly and efficient.
