Breka Bakery has been seen online as a Vancouver must when looking for something to satisfy your bakery craving or just a simple aesthetic study/lunch spot to grab with your friends when shopping alone 4th. The food there was amazing and there was a HUGE variety to choose from along with many drink options and substitutions. The matcha basque cheesecake was heavenly to bite into with a mild matcha flavour that isn't too overpowering for those looking for their first matcha dessert to try. The pistachio cream donut was filled with creamy sweet pistachio filling with pistachios and glazed with a shiny pistachio icing that made bells ring in my ears when I took a bite out of the pillowy soft dough. The apple fritter was HUGE and very filling with nice soft pieces of apple and a piece of cinnamon heaven in every single bite. The peach iced tea was nice and soothing when paired with the oolong and not sweet at all for those who are looking for something to balance out the sweetness from the desserts. The service was also impeccable as the cashier was very friendly and all the workers had big smiles on their faces. When asking for extra plates to plate up our desserts, the staff member that supplied us the plates was kind and immediately brought us our plates. I recommend this little bakery spot to anyone in the Kits area after a nice day at the beach or something to hold them off while doing endless shopping along W 4th. The bakery is also open 24 hours for anyone having a late night craving for a hefty savoury sandwich or those looking for something sweet to start their day early in the morning. Overall experience was a 10/10 and will definetly be checking out the other locations in the Vancouver area. read more

Another banger soup! This time I tried the Moroccan Chickpea & Kale soup and it was so comforting and flavorful. It had a spiced tomato flavour and was loaded with chickpeas and vegetables. The bread on the side really makes it feel like a meal. read more

Amazing Americano and delicious pastries of all kinds! Croissants, cakes, sweet treats, savory bites, sandwiches of sorts (heated and or cold), donuts, and of course any caffeinated beverage your espresso heart is craving. Two entries, upstairs where it is laptop only (this is also where the restrooms are located, need a key code), and downstairs where you order. Service was quick and efficient, I was in and out with my delicious baked goods and hot beverage. read more

24hours of tastiness. Popular with teenage daughter and with us. Walkable to beach. Good stop before a hike in Pacific Spirit park. A Vancouver tradition. read more

Sweet and stuffed is how you'll feel after a visit to Breka! We tried a variety of pastries and loved some more than others. Start with the maple pecan donut, the pillowy soft dough is a perfect bed to host the thick, maple icing and generous nut dip. Another nut choice that we all agreed on was the gf peanut butter cookie, a perfect amount of chewy and crumbly. The croissant rounds out our top three. Save your calories: skip the monster cookie, avoid the banana bread. While both look enticing behind the case, flavor was not a hit. Cafe is cute, tightly spaced and not a stay all day environment. read more

BROKEN BREKA .. Allows Disneyland GOOFy antics like a STALAG 13 ROLL CALL from HOGAN's HEROES It's the same continued chaos when you enter as the order line clashes at the looky Lou line as you need to see what to order..... suggest to put in a rope between them ... good that most people are accommodating and some are not especially those that they are over 175 lbs as they want to pay, Bull doze their way out and eat... .. if you are under 120 lbs you will be bumped around just like SARGENT SCHULTZ Hip checking LEBEAU, Mach schnell ... .. We only went in because we wanted a quick snack and coffee . Again hard to get seating as selfish self centred nerds with their laptops take up a table for two... Breka shud at least get them to pair up a table instead of tying up two tables .... Or have more counters like upstairs ... Definitely not German precision , Dumkoff .... And worse lost sales for Breka and annoyance for paying customers .... That may not return ever or as often ... Kapeche Breka or you will be a Broken Breka ?? read more

Location out near UBC on 4th. Parking is available in the attached strip mall lot. This location is honestly on the cramped side. Looks pretty popular with students. The downstairs area is for ordering, and most of the seats are upstairs. There are also some tables outside in front. If you've been to this chain, you already know they make good pastries and cakes and doughnuts. Decent coffee too. Not sure what else to say about this place, other than that you can't really go wrong. read more

来过很多次了，比较方便。甜点种类丰富，咖啡味道也可以。美中不足就是餐具的清洁可以提高。基斯兰诺为数不多的24小时营业的餐厅。地理位置非常好，旁边就是停车场。如果可以增加一点热食可能生意会更好。 read more

Mediocre pastries, they do however come up with new ones and theyre a hit or miss for me. Located near campus great for late night bites since theyre quite near to campus! read more

Terrible service. I don't know what happened to this location but every time I go employees are very demanding in rude ways without smiles. It feels they want us to serve them. I'm never going back here. I love how downtown location has very welcoming environment. See you there Breka read more

Earl grey cream puff 8.52/10- this was so good, the earl grey flavor was incredibly evident and I love how they coated it frosting on top in addition to the cream inside. I wish the cream was more of a custard but this was still banging and incredibly fresh Tiramisu 7.58/10- okay this was so good tbh I really loved the lady fingers in it and the chocolate was so rich in flavor. I normally enjoy frozen tiramisu and this was not cold granted I ate it like hours later but still fire Chocolate Mousse 8.79/10- I love chocolate mousse and I'm pretty picky about it but WOW this was absolutely divine. The chocolate tasted like it came from Switzerland- high quality fr Pistachio Apple Strudel 6.87/10- not a fan of the crystallized sugar it had but the apple jam was phenomenal and I loved the flakiness of the puff pastry. Couldn't really taste the pistachio but still very yummy The Italian pocket 5.67/10- okay this was good and I loved the different meat flavors but it was honestly too cheesy for me. Also warmed it up hours later in the microwave so it wasn't as flaky as it was given to me Turkey sandwich ?/10- honestly not sure how this was but I heard it's banging White chocolate raspberry Mocha 7.13/10- this was good but I wish the expresso was a bit stronger. It was VERY sweet and I love sweet stuff but it was a bit too much tbh. I really loved the taste of white chocolate raspberry though. This cute bakery has so many sandwiches, pastries, and drinks to offer and it's open 24/7 which is great. Everything is also so fresh and quite gourmet. They also have a great study lounge upstairs. Service is awesome and it's a pretty popular place however quite quick with your order especially for how high quality everything is. Not too expensive either for what you get read more

Rating this place on the food alone, I'd rate it four stars. Many well-above average items and a decent selection. Items that are often too sweet at other places aren't too sweet here. Overall, a good but not outstanding bakery. But being open 24/7 makes this five stars if you ever want something outside of normal bakery hours. read more

Breka Bakery & Cafe - a dessert on a plate - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This café is next to a parkade with plenty of parking and the cafe itself has a decent amount of seating. There's a spiral staircase leading to a quieter upstairs area where you can use laptops, while the first floor is laptop-free for a more laid-back atmosphere. The clear display of baked goods looks really appealing, and there are plenty of drink choices. I tried the London Fog, and it was smooth and perfect for a cooler morning. Service is friendly and Breka is also open 24/7, so it's a great place for anyone of all professions to visit any time of day! read more

So fast, affordable, and the treats are always delicious. The environment is comfortable, too.

I love the positive, communal vibes here, it's open 24/7, but no matter what time you visit it feels like you're stepping outside of the passage of time for a while. They have an awesome wide selection of sweet and savoury baked goods (and I literally mean wide - the display case stretches across a whole wall and a half), and a smaller but interesting collection of sandwiches, as well as coffee, tea, and cider. I really enjoy all of their baked goods! Lots of unique flavour combos all around and portions are generous. The tofu walnut melt sandwich is also one of my favourite coffee shop sandwiches around. I think it's nice that the first floor is designated as laptop-free while the upstairs allows laptops, so you get to choose the experience you prefer. It's really busy at any time of day so expect to have a hard time finding a seat on either floor. read more

This is really a 3.5 star place- it's 24/7 and with that comes a loss in quality. But it's a charming place perfect for students. We came in on a snowy rainy day. The Mediterranean rooibos tea is delightful and the apple fritter was perfectly sweet and decadent without being greasy. Everything else was meh average. The sun-dried tomato loaf looked great but was dry and flavorless and the ear grey shortbread cookie was somehow dry and chewy. No snap of a short bread. It's a great location, lots of seating area and the staff is friendly enough! read more

I feel like I've been going to Breka Bakery for as long as I can remember. When I used to live in Point Grey I was walking distance to this location. They are right next to the No Frills, but have their own unit. There are two levels here with a spiral staircase. Not only do they have amazing patisseries, they also have pastries, donuts, cookies, as well as savoury sandwiches and coffee. They're really a one stop shop cafe with spacious seating. This location can get busy and loud, but they have huge windows with lots of light coming in so it doesn't seem crowded. I also go for their single serving cakes and bring them to dinner parties or visiting friends and family. They are decently priced (not much more than if you were to buy it at Whole Foods or Stong's). Compared to other Patisseries in town, they definitely give good value for your money. read more

Delicious scone and croissant breakfast sandwich. Range of options on the menu. A highlight of the beautiful neighborhood!

Delicious food, quick service, and courteous staff. Because of the selection of bakery and smiles of staff, I ordered a whole bag of things lasting me 2 days! The only thing I'd improve is the cleanliness of the place. The takeout is probably the best. read more

Great 24/7 bakery and cafe! Hubby and I have been going back to this location for weeks as they have a wide selection of baked goods, sandwiches and drinks to satisfy you. We love their donuts especially the dulce de leche donut with white chocolate glaze -- sweet and fluffy, perfect with coffee. Their coffee drinks are pretty good too and priced well. Sandwiches are tasty and grilled upon order and served with a pickle stick. Service is good, sometimes there's only one person at the register and making coffee so a queue can form and sometimes there's three people there - register, drinks and sandwiches. They have two floors of seating available -- ground floor where it is supposed to be a laptop free zone and the second floor where the bathrooms are and a wee bit more quiet. Tables can be filled quickly especially during the lunch rush. Free wifi is available too. read more

Breka is one of the places that opens for 24 hours so if its late and you dont know anywhere to go, you should come to breka for some bakery stuff and coffee stuff. Late but still crowded with people hanging out or studying. Food was good for 24 hours and place was quite chill too. Cheers! read more

First time visiting this Breka location, and it's a whole different world than the one on Fraser! I loved how spacious, lively, and bright it was in here, and I really thought that the staircase and high ceiling at this location makes the whole place look very luxurious. The baked goods were lined and displayed clearly, and it allowed for me to easily choose what I want. My partner and I got the tiramisu and the Mediterranean panini and both were amazing!! The cake in the tiramisu was moist and soaked with flavour, but i just wished that there were more cake parts rather than the moussey parts. I didn't expect much from the panini because it just looked like a regular panini in the fridge, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cheesy and meaty the panini came out to be! It was perfectly toasted and was super fresh. Definitely will return to this Breka to try all their other delicious goods!! read more

Each Breka outpost in the city has its own character. This one on 4th Ave is on the smaller side, but has 2 floors (laptops are only permitted at the upstairs level and you'll have to make nice with your neighbors/fellow co-workers if you want a crack at one of the few power outlets). I've sampled from the sweet and savory sides of their pastry cases, with overall positive but mixed results. A savory pastry with chicken and an apricot glaze can be served warm and is a very rich indulgence, with delicious puff pastry, however the chicken itself is quite salty, and tastes more of the pressed mass-market variety than quality small batch prepared. Their donuts are all the yeast type, so if cake-style is your thing, be advised. I've tried the chocolate custard, and found the chocolate frosting on top to be especially delightful and robust in chocolaty flavor. The Long John is a plain rectangular donut with the same chocolate frosting, but the lack of filling makes it a bit doughy and monotonous to eat. In both quality and price (i.e. $2.25 per donut), they are somewhere in the middle between the spectrum of Tim Horton's on the low end and a Lucky's or Cartem's on the high end. European specialties like apple strudel look incredible in their cases, but I've yet to venture into this territory. read more

Having a coffee in the afternoon is always a pleasure, now that this is such a lifestyle thing on the West Coast, Vancouver has seen a blossoming of coffee and pastries shops in the last 5 yrs. or so. Breka is a 24/7 cafe with a large assortment of sandwiches, savoury pastries, cakes, donuts and more. Prices are very competitive, quality of the cakes I had tried were all above average, I especially liked their Strawberry Short Cake, fluffy and light with fresh strawberries, simple yet elegant. Also recommend is their Red Velvet Cake, with a cup of London Fog, it hit the spot right on when you are craving for tea with a slice of cake! read more

Main reason for visiting Breka is because it's one of the few places in Vancouver open 24/7, so every time I've gone has been very late at night. What they serve is okay. Personally, I believe that many of their baked goods and pastries are far too sweet. Additionally, they're rather sparse on their fillings for sandwiches and such. Their Mango Passionfruit mousse is good but could improve with a tad less sugar. They offer a large selection and variety of food-things which is nice. Overall, decent, but probably wouldn't come here to eat if other bakeries were open. read more

I absolutely love Breka and have been coming to many of their locations for the past few years and the quality had been consistent and great. However, today I decided to try their Lemon Tart since they've discontinued their Lemon Oat Bars which were PERFECTION. The Lemon Tart was way way too sour, to the point where I found the tart just inedible, I felt like a baby trying lemon for the first time it was so sour it tasted like a warhead candy. I had to scoop the filling off to enjoy the buttery tart shell itself. I also got their new item, the cake pop I got it in a cappuccino flavour, it tasted good but the cake was too doughy, I was hoping more for a bit of a bite and crumbly texture. I also asked for a classic croissant and got an almond croissant which I did not want since I wanted something not sweet. Either way, the desserts weren't disastrous and it was fresh and didn't taste too bad (except the lemon tart) just wasn't a fan. read more

Breka Bakery & Cafe - lemon tart, almond croissant, cappuccino cake pop - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Heard a lot about this bakery and had to try. Conveniently located on West 4th Ave near Alma - on the way to UBC or Jericho beach. Open 24/7. Free parking. Service: self seating. Order at the counter. Super friendly staff. Food: great selection of cakes, breads, pastries. Also have lunch items - paninis, soups, etc. we ordered the Apple Custard Bar. Similar in style to a strudel but firmer. It was just right - sweet and fruity with a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar. Not overly sweet - perfect. Drinks: cappuccino for $4.25 - very generous medium made well. Also ordered Ice Blended Kona Mocha for $4.50 - better than *$'s Medium. Chocolate taste more genuine. Overall: I really like this place. And will be back for more. read more

A big part of this may be due to ordering from Uber Eats... Ham and cheese sandwich - burnt, soggy, salty. Sous vide egg bites - overcooked and odd tasting. Americano - burnt flavour, weak even with supposed extra shot of espresso. $25 order straight to trash. What a waste read more

A buddy of mine swears by Breka Bakery and Café! Needless to say I was skeptical: What about this place could drive a person to make regular pilgrimage here? Guess I was going to find out! I was in Vancouver for work and needed breakfast before heading to the airport back home. It was Saturday morning and most places were closed until 9 or 10am. But not Breka! I found myself thankful too not only for serving food early but by having a luscious selection of goods? While I went with a beautiful and heated savory, I could have easily gotten lost in their baked goods: The puff pastries alone will not only set you back a thousand calories but the bliss factor with just one bite will send you to the moon and back. Indeed, one person there swears by the Bear Claws which are not only substantial, they look enough to satisfy you for the day! The coffee here is not bad either, and my cappuccino brought me plenty of satisfaction. Yes, I was beginning to understand why my friend comes here regularly: There's plenty to choose from and it would take some time to cycle through the selections. On my return visit, Breka will be on my list! read more

If I am to be honest, their bakery stuff are just ok. But since it is open 24 hours, definitely a place to go if you are craving for bread at night! When we went it was around 10pm and there were still tons of people there! Though the line goes really quickly so no worries on needing to wait in line for a while if you do see a line. They have multiple locations throughout Vancouver, so try to visit one! read more

As a person who used to work for Breka Bakery, I can tell they use the best ingredients, everything is fresh and made with so much love and attention. read more

This has to be one of the most convenient bakery out there that is open all hours around the clock. And not only that, they have some quality desserts, sandwiches and drinks too and a ton to choose from! I recently made a visit to purposely try out their Caramel Macchiatto Praline Crunch cake! It is my new found fave dessert with the perfect amount of cream to cake and that crunchy wafer crisp in the middle is the best part! It really does remind me of a Macchiatto in cake form! I loved it so much I wanted to bring a couple back home but I maxed out on my cake quota for the day and will have to come back for many more visits! Aside from the cake we also ordered the Italian Pocket + Jalapeño & Chicken Pocket + Kahlua Chocolate Mousse + Hedgehog Mocha. Everything was perfect for a well spent day at a cafe! They even heat up the sandwich for you. But the highlight has to be that Caramel Macchiatto Praline Crunch cake! read more

A great 24/7 place when you need some coffee or pastries at night, and maybe to do some work. My friends and I came here after dinner as I knew there would be some seats for us. I actually live near the Fraser location but that location is small and always packed. This one on W. 4th is a lot bigger and there is an upstairs. The ground floor, they ask that you don't use your laptops as they want people to actually interact with your friends or others. Upstairs is where they want you to use your laptops, so if you come, you will see everyone upstairs, staring at the laptop screen. The coffee is good, it's not any trendy or hipster style. The pastries and small cakes are good and they have a good variety. read more

What's not to love!!! Open 24/7, great treats, sandwiches, coffee really what else could you ask for. I'm a fan of this chain cafe, with numerous location in Vancouver. First time here, I was in the area. Their donuts and pastries never let me down. And today I tried their chicken pot pie, yummy!!! This location has two levels the upstairs is nice has a couch and and 10 tables. Lots of students "studying" or doing work well they all have laptops, I can only assume. I sat and just enjoyed my pot pie. I will be back! read more
