To Live For Bakery & Cafe

BEST VEGAN CAFE IN VANCOUVER. At a time when so many vegan businesses are either removing vegan from their business concept or just shutting down all together, To Live For seems to be thriving. I think it’s because they are just that good. Their products are high quality, the space (though far from downtown it is worth the trek) is beautiful and lively. One of the last truly decent vegan croissants in Vancouver. Savoury options, while usually outshined by the cube croissants for me, are always delicious. I love the pizzas. The coffee is great too. I’m not a big fan of elaborate drinks because I always feel like a black coffee goes best with a pastry, but that’s just me! Their pumpkin spice latte is great to be fair. My friends have gotten cakes from here for various birthdays and it’s always been a good option too! Have been here with so many different people and they always love it, vegan or not.

I love to live for but I was bit disappointed. The breakfast croissant sandwich was really dry, but the croissant was soft which was nice. The carrot cake is the best thing, can’t complain. The cinnamon bun was so hard it cut up my mouth, I wish it was softer or warmed up! The drink was also nice. I’ve ordered carrot cake from here as well, sometime it’s moist but sometimes it’s crumbley. I feel the consistency isn’t always there but it has a lot of potential.

I really love this vegan cafe! Everything on their menu is my favourite. Their cakes? Uh-mazing! There was a line outside the last time I went and I'm just really happy that more and more people are supporting vegan businesses. 💚

The oreo cupcake was good. The breakfast sandwich was tasteless, was probably the vegan egg that ruined it. Also got a coffee from here which was alright. Service was pretty slowing considering there was no line. We picked up a wedding cake from here, the packaging was good and it felt secure. They were able to accommodate a pretty last minute request which was nice. Small shop overall but there was sufficent seating. Street parking available with a loading zone right in the front.

Love this place. Phenomenal vegan food. But I’m surprised there is not a highchair, especially when the owner has two kids and can understand the struggle of not being hands free. They have a great kids area if your kid is 18 months+ and can sit in a stool, but no luck for mamas with crawling babies. Please consider adding a highchair! We went for the hot chocolate festival and truly enjoyed the potato chip hot chocolate and cookie.

Pleasantly surprised at the ingenuity of their flavours for their croissant. They make them extremely well and despite there being frosting, you still get the crispiness from the folds of the croissant. It's not as buttery as I would like a croissant to be, but the flavour is there given their creative takes. It's worth getting these to go. They also tend to sell out quite early and release new flavours frequently, it's worth stopping by for! I find that their croissant cubes are a bit difficult to eat so I would recommend trying one of their croissants instead.

Thank you for opening up this vegan bakery we really needed this! The savory food and the desserts are so delicious. So unique too. I can’t wait to go back and try the other menu options. I love this place!

This vegan bakery was unlike anything I've experienced. They had the largest selection of baked goods and everything was phenomenal. I got a carrot cake, pistachio Croissant, a caprese foccacia, and a cheddar chive scone. I loved everything. It was packed and clearly super popular. Went around 10am on a Sunday and there was still a wide selection left.
