Nothing like their cream puff on a rainy day. They freshly fill it and it has a nice nutty crunch to it with a creamy custard inside that's chilled when you bite in. read more

Bake49 - Cream puff - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Many times saw people posting Bake49 yummy dessert on Instagram, I have been waiting to try it for a long time. Last Saturday, I had to make my fiance go with me to try it out. Bake49 is located on the Mainland St, Vancouver. The location is right across the street from Earls in the central of Yaletown area. It is a small Japanese bakery, mainly focuses on cheese tarts. Since they've opened, it's lineups out the door. Everything is made from scratch with quality ingredients. People are mostly grabbing to go from this place. My fiance and I arrived Bake49 around 1 when it's just opened. We were very lucky, didn't have stayed in line to walk in to order. Since it was our first time visited, we choose the fancy stuff to try. We ordered the Croquant Choux ($4.50). It starts with a crunchy almond crusted exterior which is filled with vanilla bean custard creme. The exterior is crunchy and airy and slightly sweet. The vanilla bean interior is a nice, rich flavor of vanilla that isn't too sweet. Personally, I don't like sweet stuff. I felt the Croquant Choux is great for me. The prices of dessert in this place is a little bit expensive. The Sapporo style Japanese cheese tarts ($3.80, 6 for $19), which is expensive. We didn't get a chance to try them. But, I believe their taste will be great. In summary, I would like to go back to Bake49 to try other stuff. highly recommend people to go to this place for the sweeties read more

finally hd the chance to try this instagram phenom and find out what the hype is all about... its a little hole in the wall bakery serving a lot creamy goodness inside. my objective was to try the famed cheese tarts and oh boy...the did not disappoint. flaky crust holding a not so runny cheese filling, and then slightly charred on top to maximize flavour and bring out the robust tartness of the cheese. simply amazing! perfect pair to a good cup of joe. service is fast and efficient. got there no line ups, the back door operations quietly churning out dozens and dozens of cream cheese tart goodness. yes, it did live up to its hype. however, it us very pricey! at 3.80 each or 6 for 19.95 with taxes...it might raise some eyebrows for sure. to indulge once in a while, sure. to have it as a regular coffee time staple, no way! lol. its a good change from chinese egg tarts or portuguese tarts. location wise, heart of yaletown! parking challenge: difficult! lol. cheers! happy eating! read more

Bake 49 was exactly what my girlfriend and I were looking for while we were in Vancouver! I had walked by Bake49 a few days earlier when I got off the train and on the way to the hotel, but I was in a rush and hadn't stopped in. This time we were talking about it and how we needed the cheesecake. This bake shop is very small. It only has 1-2 tables for guests to enjoy the pastries, however when we were here everyone else was getting to go orders. We were greeted and ordered the cheesecake and asked for it to be cut up into slices so we could share, accompanying the cheesecake was also a house made strawberry sauce. The cheesecake wasn't overly sweet like we are used to here in the US. It had a nice balance and the sauce sweetened it slightly. I also ordered a cheese tart which was delicious, I got one bite of it while my girlfriend had a couple. Note** Bake49 doesn't accept cash read more

I want to come here everyday to eat the Croquant Choux and cheese tart! They fill the Croquant Choux with the best custard cream as you buy so you'll have to eat it right away otherwise the shell will lose its crispiness. My only regret with buying it is that I bought only one and shared it...I will come back and get my own next time!! Cheese tart is also very good. Cheese filling is a bit runny but the flavor is on point. This is a tiny, charming bakery ran by very lovely folks. Will come back for sure! read more

I bought a box of 6 to share with my family. You can get 3 matcha and 3 original for about $20. The filling was thick and creamy while the crust was buttery and flaky. The crust was thicker than the one I had tried at Castella Cheesecake so overall the whole tart didn't feel as light and delicate but that's not an issue. I didn't eat these right away so I'm not sure how ooey gooey they were suppose to be but they were still very good when I had them a few hours later. I even put the leftovers in the fridge and they were equally tasty cold! read more

Cookie cream puff (2/5) A little underwhelming. The choux pastry was crisp which I liked but it was cold. I'm also not the biggest fan of vanilla custard so I did not enjoy this as much as the average person. I won't be back, because I don't like cheese tarts and the cream puff was nothing special. read more

I have walked past Bake49 many times, and have often paused when the delicious smell of butter and other ingredients reached my nose, but I have never gone in because cheesecake isn't one of my favourite desserts. Recently, however, a friend of my brought me a little box from the store, and I got to sample their goodies. The box she brought me contained three Japanese Cheese Tarts - one plain, two strawberry. Cheese tart or cheesecake are not terms that adequately describe the glory and wonder that are these magnificent fluffy, buttery, blissful creations. It's been a couple of weeks since I ate them, and I am still thinking about them. My favourite was the plain. So light and fluffy, and not particularly cheesy (which, for me, was a plus). And the crust, my god, buttery, flakey, perfect. I will definitely be stopping in next time I walk by! read more

Heard about all the line ups when it first opened, so I decided to wait till the hype died down a bit more. There wasn't really a line when I got there. I wanted to try out their crunchy cream puff, however they didn't have any when I got there. They said I'd have to wait 10 minutes for the next batch, so I decided to wait especially since it would be fresh. As I waited for my order, the place got filled up quite fast. Although the bakery isn't big at all. There's a table with two stools by the window and that's about it. After waiting s bit longer since they asked if I wanted for it to be cooler, I finally got it. It was just alright. The filling was quite liquidy, but understandably since it was fresh. But I wish it was a thicker consistency like a custard. The outside had a nice crunch. Overall, it was good to give it a try, but I probably wouldn't come back again for it. Maybe the cheese tarts will change my opinion and I'd be open to giving that a try. read more

My friends and I were excited to try this place out for desserts. We all got a cheese tart, but unable to get any other small treats because they were baking more at the time. I love this tart! It's way better than Portuguese ones I've eaten. It's a gooey explosion of flavour that's way to fast to eat. Next time, I'll see if I can get a box of these. It's a bit pricy for one but if I'm in the area, I would give it a revisit. We came back to see if we can get the others as the staff told us it would be done baking in 30 minutes. However, after coming back twice, they said they were sold out. Perhaps they could allow people to pay in advance or something. read more

The Matcha Palmi Square resembles the classic French palmiers. It was very flakey, crunchy, and had buttery layers that melts in the mouth. The matcha flavour was subtle and I wished it was a little stronger. The palmi square is the perfect treat paired well with a cup of tea or coffee! read more

My recommendations: double baked cheesecake is amazing and the croquant choux (long crunchy eclair) is PHENOMENAL! I don't particularly like cream puffs and eclairs but the croquant choux here is crunchy nutty and delicious even after several hours. First time in my life I've ever been impressed by an eclair. read more

Craving them Japanese cheese tarts from Asia? These are pretty close to them. Finally we get a place that not only has a few flavours, but also serves cream puffs (similar to eclairs but crunchier) and soft serve. When we visited, we saw someone drop a few hundred dollars ordering dozens and dozens ahead of time. Whew! read more

I tasted their cheese tarts, double-baked cheesecake, and croquant cream puff. For comparison, I've had cheese tarts in Osaka and Kyoto. There is also a similar product available at Robson and Bute - Castella Cafe. These are japanese-style cheese tarts using Canadian ingredients. However, if it makes any difference, the manager and staff are korean. This is a tiny shop and they do all the baking on site. As such, they are severely constrained in production. Line ups start 15 minutes before store open at 1pm. They routinely sell out within two to three hours. Basically, if you don't live or work nearby, it will be difficult to buy this. Time to bribe a good friend who lives/works nearby to wait in line and buy this for you? So is it worth it? Yes! The cheese tart is better than the ones I had in Japan. The cheese is more flowing - fresh out of the oven - and the crust is similar to the type used in Portuguese egg tarts, but thicker. Consequently, the crispy, soft shell combined with the smooth, velvety cheese is quite delicious. Most of the cheese tarts I had before used the traditional hard tart shell. Usually the cheese was not quite as liquid. Probably the only downside to the flowing cheese is that accidents can happen and the cheese will splatter if you are not careful. One bite though, and it should feel worth it. there will be people who don't like it. And people who will sing its praises and be forever fans. I'm somewhere in between. It is delicious, but I'm not sure that I would pay so much for it on a regular basis. It is $19 for 6 or about $3.80 for 1. The double-baked cheesecake was $29. This came with high reviews online, but I felt underwhelmed. The top layer felt like a blend of cream cheese and frosting. There was not much flavor. I would suggest to incorporate skim milk powder, vanilla bean, or espresso flakes to give it a bit more punch. The bottom layer was a standard cheesecake. But again, I felt it didn't have the depth of flavor I look for in a cheesecake. Maybe add more egg yolk or lemon zest? I was expecting more richness and flavour. Another possible improvement would be to add a layer of mixed fruit to it, but probably the point of this cake was to focus on the cheese flavor. The problem is that there wasn't much of a cheese flavor. I would probably still rate Tree's Organic as the best New York style cheesecake. The crunchy croquant cream puff is about 6-8 inches long, thin, with a hard crust mixed with almonds - like a mini bread stick. It is filled with a liquid cream that can get messy. The concept is similar to Beard Papa's cream puffs. I found this to be the most addictive for me, and the only item that I am still craving after leaving. I'm a sucker for crushed, roasted almonds; crunchy cookie like exterior; and sweet cream. This was $4. They also have a tiramisu-inspired soft serve ice cream. I'll try that one day when the line gets shorter. read more

Atmosphere: This was a grab and go situation price: market value customer service: very friendly food: I had a craving for cheese tarts and this was the closest place to where i was that showed up on yelp. cheese tarts are prepared well and super yummy. just a warning that there is a line up so you will have to come at a decent time and occupy yourself to accomodate the line (heard some people bitch about it). read more

Strange Place. When I opened the door I found staff frantically fanning buns with a plastic container lid. Rudely told me I had to wait 10minutes and kept fanning. 2 more people infront of me told me they been waiting 15 min. When I came back after 20 min they still were not ready. 40 min later I arrived again and finally got to try their product and was underwelmed. Cheap cream filling in a dry crunch bun. So what? After ordering the counter girl rudely pointed to a sign 3 times - before I even took out my purse. No Cash. No Cash. No Cash she said. Weird! Advice to management - bake and chill your product ahead of time so it's ready to be filled. This is basic, but obviously there is no brains running this operation. read more

I discovered this bakery through Instagram and was excited to try their cream-filled croissants, palmiers, and elongated cream puffs. Visually, they do not disappoint; however, when it comes to quality and flavour, all of the products were a letdown. Skip Bake49 and walk a few units down to Angus T. At Angus T they proudly use quality ingredients sourced from both France and Vancouver. read more

little takeaway window, ham egg and cheese pasty was delish. nice seasoning on top and flaky. tarts come after 2pm.

The Japanese Cheese Tarts tasted AMAZING! I did not expect it to taste so rich but light, creamy, fluffy, and it was not overwhelmingly sweet either. The texture of the crust was a bit harder than expected but still a bit flaky. Overall I really enjoyed it and thought it was delicious! read more

This is a new Japanese bakery which has been getting a lot of hype for their cheese tarts and croquant chou (crispy cream puffs). I tried both items on a Saturday afternoon when the shop was not too busy and I didn't have to wait in line at all. I'm surprised so many people loved the cream puff, because I didn't think it was special at all. The outside was crunchy, and the cream filling was pretty light... maybe even too light? While I wouldn't call the texture of the cream "watery", I think I would have preferred if it was a bit thicker. I also didn't find the flavour of the cream puff to be particularly interesting, as I didn't really taste any distinctive almond flavour. The cheese tarts, on the other hand, I found to be quite HEAVY. I took mine home and heated it up briefly in the microwave, so it was nice and warm and oozing. I thought it was good, but I think I've had better cheese tarts in Hong Kong (Bake) and Toronto (Pablo) which were just as cheesy and smooth but perhaps slightly lighter on the flavour. I think it's mostly just personal preference though, and I can see plenty of people preferring the heavier cheese flavour here. It is definitely worth a try if you are a cheese fan! The items are a bit pricey ($3.80 for a cheese tart, $4.50 for the croquant chou), so I doubt I will be returning often, but it's nice to have these unique desserts in Yaletown. read more

Ever since trying the cheese tarts in Japan I've been always craving for this in Vancouver! And am I glad it is finally opening! I came by on the soft opening day and there was a bit of a line up of over 25 people. They bake each batch of the cheese tart fresh so it is best to have one or two of them as soon as you get them! But they are just as good when you take them home and reheat too! The cheese tart shell had a nice crisp and flakiness to it and the cheese was creamy. For those who have tried Pablo cheese tarts in Japan I did find Bake49's cheese tart had more of a cream cheese taste to it while Pablo is more lemony and light. Overall still really good. Each tart is $3.80 and a box of 6 is $20. I also tried the crunchy cream puff which was my favourite. I love the crunchy and nutty crust of the cream puff and the cream in the middle just did it for me! The cream puffs were $4.50 each and 5 for $20. For a soft opening I think they did really well to try to accomadate as many people as possible by limiting the number of purchase customers make so others have an opportunity to try as well. Looking forward to the future soft opening dates and the grand opening so I can try out their tiramisu softserve! read more

Love their cream filled puff pastry. It was crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. Creme was nice and light with good vanilla flavour. The cheese tarts are almost there. Not quite as good as the ones I've had in Japan. The filling was to creamy and not quite viscous enough. Overall the cheese flavours were nice. read more

Let's get baked! Bake49 is a force to be reckon with, their cheese products are so good and puff pastry is one of the best that we've tried! The crunchy choux is unique and cannot be found elsewhere. Paired with ice cream and what will you get? The best partnership in dessert town! Ice cream is milky and smooth, and adding a bite of the puff your taste buds will start dancing; the crunch simply pairs amazing with the ice cream. You have got to come down and try for yourself. read more

Didn't get to try their croquant choux cuz I was going for dinner, but the cream Cheese tart was good, super rich and cheesy in a good way. The organic milk soft serve was really good too! It was not too heavy, but rich enough to enjoy the milky flavour. They put read bean paste in the middle as well, so I could taste it every single bite, not just the top part. read more

Went to Bake49 to try their cheese tart. It was pretty good! The texture of the crust is flakey, the filling was runnier than most cheese tarts.

Not sure if I came at the wrong time... the cheese tarts I got were already sitting out behind the glass case. It didn't taste as fresh as the ones from Japan. Sadly, after we got ours enough customers rolled in so that the next batch was brought out from the oven. Guess I'll have to make a second trip to try their cream puff, tiramisu and cheese tart (if fresh) again. read more

Great cheesy flavour for the tart out of the other cheesecake places I've tried, but it does come with a heftier price tag ($3.99). Solid crust. There's some red filling inside but it doesn't add much tto your palate due to the strong cheesy flavour. It's a very chic shop in Yaletown with some seating inside. read more

I like how their cheese tart is not sweet with little saltiness, but I was surprised that the filling was runny. Service should be better with their price ($4.75 for a small tart). They greeted us when we entered into the store and thanked us when we left, but the guy didn't ask me if the cheese tart was for here or to go. Instead, he just put it in a little folding paper; not in a box with a bag for carrying. Then he stood there looking at me with the cheese tart in his hand and not saying anything, as if waiting for me to speak. It was odd. He should have ask the customers for their preference, not assume for their preference. If they don't know how to serve properly, then their prices should not be high. read more
