Always busy, but had a nice experience both times I stopped in. Love that it's 24/7. Tried their Earl Grey Shortbread and Earl Grey Cream Puff, which were made well but I just didn't think the flavors worked together for me... those were like 6-7/10. But their Cookie Butter Nanaimo Bar was delicious! Kind of like a 7 Layer/Magic Bar! That was a 9.5-10/10. Kuffle was 8/10 - I don't remember much about it, but it was good. Everything looked great, so wish I got to try more things!

So glad we came when we did because this place gets very busy! Food and drinks were excellent. I ordered a cappuccino and it wasn't a traditional one, but it was still good. Tried the pistachio donut which was amazing and fluffy. We also got the steak and cheese panini and a French toast sandwich. Personally, due to the cheese and ham being very limited in the French toast sandwich; the sweetness was overpowering. The steak and cheese panini was delicious but I would prefer that it was warmer on inside.

Cafe latte

During our visit to Vancouver, we came here 3 times. The pastries and drinks were very delicious but the caprese and steak Paninis were nothing special. Quick and efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our almond croissants, chocolate almond croissants, tiramisu and hazelnut donut and lattes & iced latte. Tables and seatings are limited but people were kind enough to give up their seats.

Ruben photo online looks nothing like in person. Super dissapointing - other good was good. Sad there no sauerkraut.

My newfound Canadian obsession -- that's not Tim Hortons -- is officially Breka Bakery. If only the U.S. had bakeries this good (and coffee this cheap), I'd have zero complaints. We stopped by on our first day exploring Vancouver, and Breka being open 24/7 is already a win. We grabbed a mix of drinks and pastries to share. - Chocolate-Dipped Almond Croissant -- thin chocolate shell that added a unique texture - Cheddar & Chive Scone -- moist, not dry like most scones; loved the cheesy top and chives baked into the dough - Mango Coconut Mousse -- refreshing and clean-tasting, though a bit sweet for an Asian palate - Apple Strudel -- classic and simple; powdered sugar + big apple chunks - Almond Croissant -- super flaky with plenty of marzipan filling - Cretzel Ham & Cheese Melt -- croissant-meets-pretzel fusion; panini-pressed perfectly with melty cheese and ham - Steak & Cheese Panini -- solid; chipotle mayo and green peppers gave it a nice kick - Chai Latte -- light and well-balanced - Hot Latte -- creamy with the perfect coffee punch - Bienenstich (Honorable Mention) -- I wanted this so badly! It's a German classic with a crunchy honey-almond top and creamy vanilla filling sandwiched between two yeast cake layers. They only sell it whole, but an entire cake is just $16.50 CAD ($11.70 USD!) -- an unreal steal Breka bakes everything fresh daily, and you can taste it. This location was popping on a Saturday morning. Plenty of seating, though we snagged one of the last tables for four. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. If I lived in downtown Vancouver, Breka would have my money every weekend.

Yes for the good food ! The service was mediocre for sure . We came here a couple of times as it was near our hotel. Incredible array of sweet and savory foods and breads. Busy open 24 hrs coffee shop. Was bustling all the time it seemed ! We got croissants, sandwiches and coffee from here and I asked for my croissant to be heated up and then they proceeded to forgot to bag it and we left without it. Check your goods before you leave !!! Coffee was good and the sandwiches were nice and fresh. I'd use it as a quick place to grab and go . Not the friendly atmosphere!!

Breakfast cookies

Breka breka. So nice that it's open all day and all night. The convenience of having a place to go to that's affordable & bustling with people at all hours. Small shop but often easy to find seating. The workers are all usually very nice. The pastries are sometimes a bit sweeter than I'd like but I'm sure it's perfect sweetness for most people. I have tried their croissants & apple pastry (both good) but I enjoy the breakfast cookies as they seem "healthier" than some of the other sweets. Everything is very affordable.

I haven't been to this Breka in ages. Came here with a friend and we picked a cake to share. The cake was very delicious. The place is busy but there were lots of seats and tables available. One of the things that I really like about Breka is their operating hours. Decor of the place very standard. Nothing fancy looking. Their prices are a bit cheaper than other bakery. Most importantly, all their pastries and cakes are made on the day. So everything is super fresh.

Cretzel ham & cheese
Juliana M.

I can't explain how much I wish this was where I lived. I had to visit multiple times during my visit to Vancouver. Premium sandwiches at such an affordable price and all locations are open 24/7! My favorite sandwiches were the cretzel ham & cheese and the chicken salad sandwich. They are usually always busy, but the line goes very quickly and the food has always been delicious! There is a seating area, but it's mainly occupied by the line and other foot traffic. I would go several times a week if it were accessible.

London Fog Donut, Matcha Creme Puff, Lychee Raspberry Eclair
Julianne L.

Love that this bakery/cafe is open 24 hours!! I came here last night to pick up some pastries for the next day and tried the London fog donut, matcha creme puff, and lychee raspberry eclair. They were all so delicious! The London fog donut was soft and the frosting was sweet and had the strong tea flavor; the matcha creme puff has matcha flavored cream inside and the frosting was perfect; and the lychee raspberry eclair had a light and sweet lychee cream filling with a tangy raspberry frosting on top! I enjoyed them all and will be trying their drinks and other baked goods soon!

Strawberry shortcake
Apoorva N.

Breka is my go to bakery in vancouver. Everything from cales, pastries, savoury items, desserts etc here are fresh and taste great. My favourites here are the german cake (bienstitch), apricot chicken salad sandwich, salted caramel mocha, chocolate eclairs and the strawberry shortcake. The service is quick and the place is open 24hrs

I ordered the 6 inch mango cake for my sister's birthday and it was absolutely worth it! The cake…read morewas light, fresh, and full of delicious mango flavour without being overly sweet. It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

Gary opened this patisserie in the east side of Vancouver on Kingsway. He moved here from a couple…read moreof locations before. I leart about this place from a reel. The pastries looked very unique, and some of the ingredients were unusual in a good way. If you like little sweet, this is for you. First of all, the packaging of their cake is very interesting. They are inside a very nice glass jar. You get to reuse the glass jar for something else. The quantity in this jar is equivalent to a single sliced cake you normally get from a bakery. They have a variety of flavours. You get to find some new flavours from time to time. I got these 3 flavours this time: - Taro coconut pandan - Matcha - Durian My favourite has to be the matcha. The matcha content was quite high. I could taste the subtle bitterness of it. The cream was silky, and the cake was spongy. Overall it was not too sweet for my liking. Some might find it not sweet enough. Taro coconut pandan was also nice while the coconut chunks were very refreshing in its natural light sweetness. The pandan flavour was very subtle. One of the layers was a bit too sweet. The combination was very south east Asia. Last but not least, durian is a very unique tropical fruit. It has its natural sweetness. The balance was nice between the cream and the spong cake. They have a stand displaying butter shortbread cookie samples. All of their flavours taste good. The most interesting flavour was Hong Kong style milk tea. You can order cakes in 6", 8", and 10". The Pumpkin spice pear and chestnut cake is seasonal. Their mango mousse cake also looked good. Parking is a little tricky on Kingsway. You can park for free before 3om and after 6pm. Side street parking is also available.

Excellent bakery and cafe with delectable baked goods especially…read more We tried the following for Croissant Crawl and they were all excellent. - mushroom tart - really great flavour, very crispy and crunch on the outside - strawberry croissant tart - this is so beautiful you don't even want to break into it to eat it, but the fruit is wonderful and fresh, the pastry very crispy and crunchy, amazing texture and as a package it is awesome - pistachio and mango cruffins - these are good as well. Crunchy and the inside is flavourful. - cheese tart - I think this is my favourite. Really smooth and wonderful cheese, the crust is solid and crunchy but not too much. Just really wonderful. Would definitely come back.

This place's aesthetic is really cute and the fruit-shaped desserts are probably the biggest draw…read more They are so unique and honestly look almost too pretty to eat. I believe they were one of the first places in Vancouver to really bring these fruit-shaped desserts to the forefront, and then slowly everyone else started following the trend. The mango is definitely my favourite. It's light, fruity and refreshing and the white chocolate shell gives you that little crack when you bite into it. I tried the clementine/orange one as well and I would probably skip that one next time. It's mostly cream with not a ton of cake. The good news is that the mousse is pretty light, so even though there's a lot of it, it doesn't feel like an incredibly heavy dessert. The pastries and desserts are definitely more about the experience and presentation, although there are some really good options beyond the fruit ones too.

Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

Snack and dessert shop located close to the bustling Denman and Robson intersection. I went for…read morethe red bean donut. It was on point. The granulated sugar on outside helps keep it crunchy, and the red bean was sweet but not too sweet and works well. Would come back to try other things.
