My boyfriend and I visited Whistler for the first time traveling all the way from the east coast (US). We loved the coffee and crepes so much that this was our go to breakfast or midday snack spot the whole trip! The coffee was perfect every time, we also tried several of the crepes and waffles and also affogato with caramel gelato. Everything was phenomenal and if we have the pleasure of revisiting we certainly will be back! My only regret is not getting the fresh cinnamon buns, so I will have to come back (:
We ordered crepes, one savory and one sweet. You gotta get the NSB Nutella Strawberry and Banana at every crepe shop, that the measure of standard lol! Our savory choice was the Pemberton. I'd have to say I'd give it a 3.5. The Pemberton (4) was packed full, gooey mozzarella and ham and cooked to perfection potatoes. The crispy onions provided that extra flavor crunch in each bite. The NSB (3) was good, not amazing and not bad. The crepes did take awhile. We sat outside to enjoy the shining sun!
Cute little coffee and crêpes café near the ski slopes. The coffees were good. The crêpe was OK and we grabbed a Tex-Mex savory crêpe. I've never tried a savory crate before and it tastes like a traditional burrito with the crêpe being your tortilla shell. Not a huge fan of the savory crêpes. You order at the counter and if you're eating in, they will call your name just as they do for that to go order.
I don't know if I would come here for the baked goods/café aspect of it, but I'd say it's decent for the crepes. I ordered the "Breakfast" crepe (14,50$) that came with Egg, Black Forest ham, Mozzarella and Vine-ripened tomato. Honestly the portion was quite good and she really put an entire handful of cheese in it. My only wish would maybe be more tomato or a side salad to balance it out, but I was pleasantly surprised-it was quite filling.
I'll be honest I didn't have the highest expectations when we popped in here one morning - it was small and cramped up at front. But we were able to order quickly and secured a table without a problem (it seems people eat and leave rather quickly, not like a cafe where people set up and stay for a while). I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and, wow - it was delicious. I ended up having to order another because my family all wanted to eat it too. It was fresh and cheesy and not what I would expect by appearance - the meat wasn't too thick and over powering, and it wasn't dried out or too moist, it was perfect. Definitely will be back again.
I was a bit leery about this place since the review score was fairly low, but I've been finding that to be true of a lot of the places in Whistler. We had a good experience here. The sweet and savory crepes were all good.
These may be the best cinnamon buns I've ever had. They're wonderfully crunchy on the outside and gooey soft in the middle and they put the icing on right when you pick them up. The crepes were also quite good. They were healthy and light and not excessive in the ways that I typically expect crates to be. We actually went back and ate this meal again on our very short trip because we liked it so much.
Great food and quick service! Wish there were more seating options but it is such a cute little cafe near the slopes. One of the few dessert options in the village that isn't ice cream. Would come here again for a crepe and to try the cinnamon buns!
First off, I want to mention that this review is based off of what I thought this place was, a bakery. We already ate so we were just looking for something light to take on the road. They did have a small selection of pastries so we decided to give it a try since we were already there and there was a good deal going on. The cinnamon bun we ordered was huge. It was like full to the container! The cream cheese frosting was good though a little too sweet and thick for me, I couldn't even taste any cinnamon in the bun cuz of the frosting. Perhaps if would have been better warm. The coffee was good, a little acidic but overall still decent. I liked the vibe they had here. Had I known it was actually a creperie, I would have saved room to eat here! Would like to come back next time to try what they actually specialize in!
Great food and service could be more seating but it's a cafe anyways. Crepes are especially good.

I was excited to try this place as a few blogs said that Hot Buns cinnamon rolls were really good. It's a very small cute little bakery with different sweet and savory selections, like croissants, crepes and long John's. I guess my expectations were a little too high and my eyes ordered more than I should have. Ordered 2 cinnamon rolls and a long John. I was quite disappointed in both. The cinnamon rolls were quite dry and not enough ooey gooey cinnamon, butter and sugar filling. The frosting doesn't quite melt either. It was only when you got to the center was when the cinnamon rolls were soft with filling. The other parts are just dry and flavorless. The long John was also underwhelming. They used the same frosting as the cinnamon rolls inside the long John. I guess I'm used to more of a custard filling. Sadly, I'm still in search of a great cinnamon roll in Whistler. read more

Crêpes for Thanksgiving [Whistler, BC Canada] Located in the heart of Whistler Village we came across Hot Buns Bakery while strolling along the walkways and decided to stop by. Inside is cozy and busy. Luckily, we were able to get the last table. This is a counter service restaurant. They will call your name when food is ready. There was no sign but looks like we bus our own table too and place dirty dishes and silverware in a plastic bucket. Although they are famous for their cinnamon buns we opted to try their crêpes and got one each from their sweet and savoury options: "Breakfast" savory crepe which includes egg, Black Forest ham, mozzarella and balsamic glaze. I dunno but it was a bit too salty for my taste. "NSB" for the sweet crepe: Nutella, strawberry, banana, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Now this was yummy! They also offer sandwiches and waffles, croissants, vegan pecan bars, brownies and other sweet treats. The chocolate croissant was warm and delicious. Exchange Rate 11/28/24: $1 USD = $1.40 CAD Review #3602 read more

Chai latte, hot cocoa, chocolate croissant, and a ham and cheese croissant at our table... all delicious! The gal at the register didn't seem super happy to be here so hopefully just an off day. Ambience is cute and cozy. read more

Absolutely great cinnamon buns and crepes! The cream cheese icing was to delicious! Note: if you're specific about your coffee, this might not be the place for you. Not a lot of variety with flavors etc read more

Excellent. We got the s'mores waffle, og sweet treat waffle, crape with Nutella and strawberry, chocolate croissant and lattes. All very good. Busy place but we got a table unfortunately right under speaker. 70s classic music but just too loud. Good overall vibe. Would definitely recommend. read more

As the name indicates...hot buns...their hot buns or cinnamon buns are the best! I bought it one evening and didn't get a chance to eat it that night. I put it into the refrigerator and ended up heating it up in the microwave and eating it the next day. It was seriously so crunchy on the outside and edges! Then, the inside was nice and soft! Oh my goodness!! Best cinnamon bun I have ever eaten!! The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 was because the lady was a little rude when I walked in. I stood at the counter for a couple minutes before she even acknowledged me. She was instead speaking to another coworker and needed to finish her conversation before taking my order. No apology or anything. They have a few indoor tables if you are looking to eat it there. It was very crowded when I went in and they all seemed to be eating crepes. Maybe I'll give that a try next time. read more

We had the most delicious savory and sweet crepes and croissants at this place. They open earlier than La Brasserie so get breakfast before getting on the gondola. Line is long during winter. Dining area can get packed in the morning. Rock and roll softly playing so you can ease into the morning. Slow service because understaffed so plan for that. read more
Not worth the wait. Got the veggie breakfast crepe and an Americano. Granted the food was made to order with fresh ingredients , but Both were underwhelming. There was no flavor to the crepe. The coffee was watered down and too acidic. I arrived at 830am and waited 10 mins to order , then 20 mins for my crepe to be ready. read more
