Come in the mornings for freshly baked bread that's still warm. I find their sweet pastries a little too sweet but that's probably a preferences thing. Their ham and cheese croissant confusingly sweet as well. Their pizzas are a bit tough once they get cold/the next day but are delicious fresh. My favourite items are the pullaparts. They're so soft inside and the flavours are so good. Consistently friendly, patient staff. read more

"Pastries and bread are made fresh daily. What is left over are donated to a food bank." - cashier. Friendly staff and service. 5/5 Value for the patron is low as pricing is slightly above average. But as a whole in terms of feeding the poor and hungry, as the price is likely to subsidize wastage for the food bank then overall it is a decent value 5/5 As food products, had sampled several several items: whole wheat bread, cheese scone and chocolate croissant. All were very adequate and proper in quality of ingredients, freshness and execution. Are they the best? Nope but adequate high quality for everyday consumption. 4/5 Ambiance is a bit on the tricky side. A number of Cobs locations have very tiny space for the customers. It appears to put you under the gun to make quick snappy decisions when the place becomes crowded. There is no seating or pondering space allocated. Mostly suitable for repeat customers or expert eaters. 3/5 read more

COBS Bread - Chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Something very different at COBS not the same different , different, customer service not friendly, no smaller breads. Shrinkage you cannot even see the cinnamon buns, so small. read more

This location opens up earlier than the rest at 6 or 6:30 am. For all those morning birds out there, it means an early snack. If you're up in the morning, it's such a nice feeling to be able to get the freshly baked goods. Today, I walked in around 7 am and I was welcomed by the smell of garlic. They had some garlic and chive bread that was fresh out of the oven. I had to get it. It tasted just as good as it smelled. If you have an opportunity to get the items that are freshly out of the oven, I suggest you go for it. The warmth of the freshy made, moist bread is a huge contrast to the drier bread after it has cooled down. Yesterday, I had the ham and cheese croissant along with the spinach and feta croissant fresh out of the oven. It was a nice treat to start your day. I have been a fan of the cinnamon buns from here for years. Get it with the icing. They have seasonal baked goodies too. For example, they have pumpkin related baked goodies prior to Halloween. read more

Here's what Cobs' cheese bread looks like.Minus 2 slices . Total 11 slices. Didn't weigh the bread but imagine ! A what is the price $8 something ? Hole eee ! read more

COBS Bread - a number of pieces of bread on a counter - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Love popping into COBS for some fresh baked goods. They have amazing hot cross buns for Easter too (chocolate, apple cinnamon, fruit). Covid protocols in place, friendly staff! read more

I was craving for fresh and good breads. I found the scones and croissants size were a bit smaller and expensive then before. Well... just try to spoil myself once a while. That's ok. LOL The chocolate croissant was so delicious. The date fruit scone and banana chocolate chip scone were fantastic!! read more

I am so disappointed as to how COBS bread quality deteriorated over the years. I remembered eating it the first time 9 years ago and comparing the taste now. Quality really went down as well as the size became smaller. I always buy the raspberry and blueberry tea time and the spinach, banana, chocolate scones. The tea time is all bread now and can't even see much of the raspberry/blueberry anymore. Even the taste was jeopardized. Not so tasty anymore. I am not buying anymore of this product anytime soon or until management improve and return the quality back. read more

I have been buying my bread here for years. I am a regular customer, they should know me. I find no fault with their baked goods, the quality is outstanding. But the upsell to buy more is annoying..... and ironic too, because when I noticed an interesting new savoury bun and wanted to try it by buying just one, the girl refused to sell it to me, telling me I had to buy 6, even though they were displayed individually under the glass. I almost offered to pay for 6 if she would just let me have 1. Maybe that would have made her realize what a stupid rule it was. Not a way to win a new customer - or keep an old customer happy. read more

You're probably all wondering why 1 star... It's COBS Bread after all. I was just at the Main St. COBS Bread location with my wife to buy some scones for this breakfast tomorrow. They had a full tray of Lemon Blueberry scones top row. They looked delicious from afar. We ordered the Lemon Blueberry and were told those were not for sale. Really, an entire tray of scones not for sale? The worker said they were 3 days old and for display only. Gross...that doesn't make sense at all, how long were you expecting to keep them around for? So he told us the scones beneath that tray were fresh so we bought some of those...I was feeling a bit uneasy about buying them after we found out they were in the vicinity of the old ones. so I hope they are ok. Why would you even keep them around if they're not sellable? Day olds, ok fine everyone sells day olds. But 3 days? I always thought of COBS as FRESH, which it is and i've never had a problem until today. How fresh is the rest of the bread on your shop? Isn't this a health risk? So my recommendation is to stay away from this COBS for now. COBS Franchise owner: Please train your employees better and ensure they have taken and understand food safe. Leaving a full tray of scones just for display purposes really isn't a good sales tactic when you're selling FRESH bread. I really don't blame the guy at the counter. He was pretty nice to everyone in line and I'm thankful he knew that the scones were 3 days old. But seriously, just throw them out if you can't sell them. read more

If you're looking for fancy gourmet sourdough rustic rye type bread then go elsewhere, but if you want top-notch everyday comfort food bread made fresh, with a few tempting options for those special occasions then Cobs is the best. Nothing beats their crusty pasta dura loaves, cut into doorsteps and smothered with butter and strawberry jam. Oh, except perhaps for thick slices of their sesame-coated plain white tin loaves fresh from the toaster. Cobs is a transplant from Australia, where it's known as Baker's Delight. I became a fan when I lived there so I was really excited to see how successful they've been over here. This also explains my favourite Cobs treat, the cheesymite scroll - a spiral of white bread rolled up with cheese and Vegemite before baking. Two words of warning drawn from past experience - first, for some reason you can only get their excellent hot dog buns at the weekend so plan ahead for midweek barbecues - they will do them to special order at other times. Second, never feed lekkerbrot to small children unless you are prepared for diaper changing to become an extreme sport. read more

Was strolling down Main Street on a lazy afternoon and popped in to check out their scone selection. The store clerk was very friendly and helpful. They had a lot of scone varieties, including sweet, fruity, and savoury. The bf had to step in to make an executive decision to get the Cheese & Chive, and it was a very good scone indeed. Now it's time to share what I really enjoyed - the Cinnamon Buns!!! $6.75 for 6 mini buns, what a bargain! After reheating them in the microwave, they became pieces of soft chewy gooey heaven. Mmmmmmm, best impulse buy ever. High quality baked goods at a reasonable price - I approve. read more

Another favorite on my places to get good carbs...always fresh and delicious..Cobs does bread right! This is my neighborhood location and I have become a frequent visitor...they are even starting to know who I am..which I really love..makes you feel oh so important! I was in yesterday and they had my Lekkerbrot bread already sliced and in the bag before it was my turn in line. I was so happy I decided to buy even more carby goodness and get some cinnamon scones..ummm FANTASTIC...and some cranberry walnut bread..also pretty friggin' fantastic! I also recommend there cinnamon buns with the icing..they are really moist and gooey and the icing isn't too sweet.... read more

I randomly walked in here Sunday morning and was immediately greeted by the aroma of fresh bread. Then they tell me that there are freshly baked loaves of garlic cheese pull bread!!!! I asked for a sample and they cut some pieces immediately from.a brand new loaf for me to try. Sample sizes were HUGE and required 3 bites to finish. I obviously bought a fresh loaf. They even gave me an extra bag to store the loaf in, in case I didn't finish it. Laughing, I took my bread and started tearing away at it as soon as I exited the store. read more

The Terra Bread crowd always poo poo Cobs Bread but if Terra Bread is a Mercedes then Cobs Bread is a Ford Truck, you know what I am saying? If Terra Bread is a rich widow who summers at her home in Spain then Cobs Bread likes to take the family out camping and drink beers by the lake, you catch me here? If Terra Bread ... oh nevermind, Cobs is good. read more

HAVE AGAIN: the cinnamon rolls are really good, also the scones. Excellent selection of breads.

This spot is off Main. Parking can be tough. I came here looking for their whole wheat bread and asked for the ingredients (my son has allergies) and they guy printed it out. The customer service was great. Helpful and informative. He also cut the bread in slices. I've decided when ever I am in Vancouver for the week, I will get my bread fresh from Cobs. Loaf of bread is good prices. Fresh made and sliced if you want. Other pastries are delicious as well. read more

This is my favourite Cobs. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and focused on the customers. And of course, the bread and scones and croissants are delicious! read more

It gets 4 stars despite the fact that there is literally nothing I can eat here. Come on COBS, no GF anything? Anyhow, my daughter loves the croissants and it just smells so delicious in there! It loses a star for the annoying upsell they do at the till. read more

So your out looking for the freshest selection of bread and baked goods around and you cant find anything that quite lives up to you expectations.... well stop looking! here is the spot to go. They have an excellent selection of white, ryes, any type of grain, cinnamon buns to die for, sesame, poppy, sunflower & flaxseeds. My personal favorite is the Lekkerbrot bread... YUM YUM YUM! too bad this was not a video review I actually have a Lekkerbrot song and dance I do when I get home from cobs... nerd, I know! read more

There was a Cobs that opened in my hometown of Toronto in Kensington Market which I avoided like the plague because it was trying to steal local independent "My Market Bakery's" crowd. Seeing as in my area I don't see any local bakeries to support I have no issues with spending a fortune here making myself fat. I like that they sell french bread in half loafs. Single forever alone people such as myself would def waste a regular size one. Oh btw.. I hate you guys and your fruit custard danishes. You do realize my current gym efforts are because you sell this item right? read more

when i want to really spoil myself with good fresh and tasty bread and baked goods that i KNOW i shouldn't be eating.... this is the place to do it!! after 2 years of not getting sick, i finally caught the nasty bug and felt i deserved some bad comfort food... a quick stop for a chocolate brownie sundae from dq..and a detour to COBS! what a mouth watering display of soft doughy delights awaiting to be handpicked with love from worker to glutton (yes, i am referring to myself). i stood in front of that glass display for a solid 10 minutes deciding..weighing out the options....cinnamon buns...hot crossed buns...croissants...jellied danishes...tarts...strudels...cheesy breads... garlic breads...oh, if only i could take it all home!! i finally settled for a cinnamon bun covered with icing =) and a big blueberry and raisin pull apart bread bun thing. mmmmmmm...... so soft.. so sweet.. so perfect. every single bite! it would be soo cool if cobs did a gluten-free cob line like artisan breads!!! le sigh~ one can only dream.... read more

Why would a gluten-allergic person write a review about a bakery, you ask? Well, I was picking up buns and goodies for my dad's birthday, and from the moment I walked in the door, the smiles and waves and overall quality of service of the people who work here lulled me into such a sense of neighbourlyness, that I almost forgot my allergies and just dove right in. Fortunately for my health, I left the warmth of the place stay in the bag of blueberry tea-time and apple and custard tea-time, and got the rave reviews of my family instead as they enjoyed them. read more

Mmm... nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread and at Cobs Bread you'll find some delicious concoctions to choose from. Great prices and great flavours combine to create a large selection of brown, multigrain, white, and fruit breads. There are cheese scones, sweet scones, croissants, flax seed bread, apricot roles (my favourite) and more. Cobs Bread beats supermarket bread hands down for freshness and taste. read more

A bit expensive but really nice breads. I like the radio loaf and the high fibre bread. We used the dinner rolls the other evening for slider buns but you can also pre order smaller ones with the same dough. It's perfect for buns - a soft chewy dough. Yum read more

I called in to see if they had sourdough cob and they sure did! They held 1 for me and Andre helped me when I arrived with a nice smile. You know he loves what he does when because he spoke passionately about Bread and what would go perfectly with my spinach dip dish! 5 stars for his service and knowledge. Great experience at this cobs location! Thanks Andre! read more

I would normally give these guys a good review, the product is good and generally they are nice... but when you walk in looking for something specific, and the guy tells you they are just coming out now (meanwhile having a conversation about how awesome fresh bread is) and then they sneak one from yesterdays tray into your bag one starts to feel like they think you are a goddamn idiot. I won't be going back, not because they don't have good product, but because they treated me like a child, playing tricks. read more

Great bakery. All Cobs bread is really good, but the folks at this one take customer service to new heights. I can order ahead and things are always ready, fresh and delicious. read more

cinnamon buns are the best. ask for xtra cream cheese to go!
