To Live For Bakery & Cafe

The food is excellent, made with high-quality ingredients. I especially enjoy the feature croissants, and the oat latte is smooth and flavourful. While it’s on the pricier side, it’s a worthwhile treat. The bakery is always busy, so finding a seat may require some waiting or sitting outside. The potato pizza with pesto mayo was delicious, and the Black Forest croissant was incredible!! I even returned for the butter tarts—they’re that good. The service has been underwhelming. The staff seemed somewhat disengaged, and after three visits, I have yet to experience the level of customer service that would enhance the overall experience.

The BEST vegan bakery in Vancouver!! The vegan pastries all have great texture and taste just as amazing as regular pastries!! Other than cakes and pastries they also have wide selection of breakfast items and everything tastes very good! We recently came here to try this year's hot chocolate and it was rich and creamy but not overly sweet! The croissant cube was amazing as well!!

omg, we are still thinking about our experience at to live for bakery! 🍰✨ if you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for? this place is EVERYTHING! you could easily spend the whole day sipping coffee and working there! the atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and just the right vibe to get stuff done or catch up with friends. and don’t even get us started on the treats – every bite is a little piece of heaven. whether you’re vegan or not, this bakery is a must-visit. the flavors, the energy, the love they put into everything – it’s all top-tier. go ahead, treat yourself, you won’t regret it!

Vegan bakery with exceptional coffee and delicious baked goods. I am not vegan but appreciate the concept and couldn’t differentiate between non-vegan with the lack of dairy, honey, or egg products in their baked items or my flat white. Lively atmosphere, casual stool seating in a bright airy environment. Kids will find it welcoming as well with a small “kids table” and kid friendly snacks.

Couldn’t have been happier with this place! Went for the first time yesterday and tried a few things—the ham and cheese croissant and the chocolate hazelnut mousse cake were my favorites. The matcha and latte were great, and we also really enjoyed the croissant breakfast sandwich and tiramisu cake cup. Can’t wait to go back!

Visited this vegetarian coffee shop / bakery in mid October 2024. Ordered an iced latte, hot latte, a regular croissant and a cubed cheesecake croissant. Coffees were brewed freshly with oat milk as a default choice. Nutty latte can be expected, with a hint of almond amd honey flavour. Croissants were slightly stiffer than the others, as that might be a result of non-animal fat being used in baking. Still having good layers though. Cubed cheesecake croissant is also a surprise. Overall, a boutique shop that's worth trying.

Quite a nice selection of pastries, loafs, and drinks! We stopped in twice during our week long vacation in Vancouver. The breakfast sandwiches were flavorful, I am a ketchup heavy person, so I thought it was dry in between bites. However, the cheese made up for it 🤷‍♀️ The stuffed cube croissant was the item I was most looking forward to having seen it on IG. Very hardy bite, cream cheese filling was delightful. I found the pumpkin loaf to be claggy or super moist, depending on how one likes their bread. Pumpkin spice latte was served just warm, not hot. The flavor was pleasantly natural, not sweet or artificially strong. I appreciate that they seemed to make the syrup/mix in house. We also got some yummy cookies. Being a well traveled vegan (20+ yrs) and California native (LA+SF), I acknowledge that my expectations may be higher than the average person. That said, I do recommend saving this cafe to your list of "good food by good people" and checking it out.

Look, in all honesty, I come here too much! The croissants, which are vegan (as is everything here) are among the best I’ve ever had. I love the breakfast croissant and I almost always order the cheddar green onion scone (warmed).
