    Great coffee place at commercial! Plenty of seating for couples and singles, not that great for big groups. This place has a variety of coffee that tastes great and other drinks such as hot chocolate. As well, they also have an assortment of pastries. For the summer, they have gelatos.

    The location and business hours are great. Situated at a corner with street parking, it is a convenient place to meet friends for a drink. It also opens till late (9/10 pm) which gives them the after dinner or evening crowd. We were looking for a place to have coffee or tea, and the other coffee shops in the area close early like 5/6 pm. Besides drinks, there are pastries and gelato. We only had the coffee and it was ok. They charged extra for iced version and it was not stated in the menu. I only found out after I got the receipt. They also cannot do iced version for the regular coffee. It has to be Americano and latte etc. I had their house latte which was to have condensed milk but I couldn't really detect the condensed milk at all. It must be quite minimal in it. The reason to come here is they open till late and there is ample space to chill and have a nice chat with friends.

    While the fumes of the lacquered counter tops still lingering in the air and paint is just drying, this triplex ice cream shop / cafe and bakery is open for business. As we enter this shinny new cafe, we find it to be filled with enthusiasts. Each with a cup in hand while the other hand on laptops, some on books some on their partners. Alright place looks promising. With wet chilly spring weather, we opted for couple of hot drinks and some pastries. Pause the idea of gelato for another time. Hot cocoa, double baked hazelnut chocolate croissant and cinnamon bun. Let me tell you, they looked good and promising. Also costed a pretty penny. Definitely above average in prices. Then the quality reveal. We found definitely the pastries were at least a day old and gamey. Yup that's right, they do not have the hallmarks of freshness, flakey crispy layers and softness. I'd imagine they might have been great when they just came out of the oven. But not the case here today for us. Service was touch and go. While the cashier was polite, the barista was outright rude. Also the payment splash screen- whats with the 15%, 25% gratuity when they actually do zero service like cleaning the sticky tables or clear way dirty dishes-the 45 minutes while we were there? I know I know this place is just a baby, so they may just be reviving up?!? I am going to be gentle here and give them 2.5 stars. But I will not likely be back.

    It was busy as expected Saturday afternoon, but I was lucky to grab a table right away after I ordered. The interior is warm and not too cramped even though it's small. It looks like there is a patio that they may open during warmer months but it's closed now (January). I'm not sure if it could be called a 100% pure authentic Italian cafe but there is a bit of Italian influence in the bakery offerings, plus of course they serve gelato. The baked goods all looked so good. The food was very good. I had a salmon & cream cheese croissant sandwich, chocolate lava cake, and a masala chai latte. They were out of the salmon sandwiches in the prepared case but they made one fresh for me which was definitely better. I was expecting maybe some greens or onions or something else on the sandwich but it is really salmon and cream cheese only. I do prefer some vegetable on my sandwiches but I will not rate this on something it wasn't trying to be, and if I just judge it as smoked salmon and cream cheese on a croissant, it was perfect. The croissant was very fresh and had a buttery flavour but wasn't oily to touch. They warmed up the lava cake and it was also amazing, full-bodied but not too sweet. My chai latte was spicy and also not very sweet (which is how I prefer it). Just fyi, there was a single vegan baked good (an orange olive oil cake which looked great) and there are nondairy milks for your drinks, but I did not see anything vegan and savoury on offer. There is a "breakfast sandwich" on the menu which is not described in further detail - it COULD be vegetarian but very likely not. So do not count on a meal here if you are veg.

The service was quick and prompt, too! Although we didn't find a place to sit, given how much people love this place, we happily enjoyed our food in the seating area overlooking the Canada place, few others joined us there too! It was our cute lil party!

I was meeting a friend here yesterday who's visiting from California, and when deciding on a meeting place, we realized a bunch of the Gastown coffee roaster places were closed on Sunday, so I mentioned Breka , knowing it was opened 24/7. (LOVE this!). Plus, this site is close to Waterfront Station, and my friend had a busy day planned, taking the Seabus to N.Van and doing a lot of sightseeing. So this Breka was perfect. I was there early at 10 am-ish, and from the outset, I was impressed: exposed brick wall, long counter and display case, fully stocked with the most beautiful pastries and tarts and cakes, and lovely looking sandwiches, too....Just lovely. I ordered a tea from the guy taking the orders. At the check-out, the woman working the cashier was the most unfriendly, aloof person I have ever encountered at a Breka. She was downright dour. Never looked up, never smiled, said I owed X for the tea I ordered, gave me a receipt and said I was "number 3", no "thank you" (despite my saying thanks!), nothing. She looked really unhappy and bothered to be there. (I sat at a nearby table, waiting for my number to be called. I saw her interactions with all the people behind me - and there were quite a few, as it got suddenly busy in the cafe. She was cold and unfriendly to everyone in line as she rang them all up. These are mostly tourists! Why have a dour, borderline-hostile woman at the check-out counter of a busy cafe in a touristy part of our city? I just don't get it). Anyhow, I waited 10 minutes to hear my number called, but I never heard it. I walked up to the take-out area and there was my tea, on a receipt that said "number 3". Did they call out my number? I honestly don't know. I was seated at a table a few feet from the area and listening for my number and I didn't hear it called. I was not impressed with this set-up. Not at all. My friend arrived and got a chocolate concoction which looked amazing, and he loved it, so there's that. I still love Brekas but I probably won't return to this site. Between the cold experience at the cash and the prolonged waiting for my order (a cup of tea!), and not being sure if my order number was ever called, it just all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

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.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

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!
