Box of goodies!

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.

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。

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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!

A good assortment of pastries and surprisingly some savoury items for reasonable prices. There's a…read morelot of fruit forward flavour combinations like mango, strawberry and raspberry. Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
