So many options, the only bad decision is not getting at least one sweet & one savory item here.
If you've been to Vancouver or have at least checked out the food scene you've most likely heard of Purebread & its number of offerings. They have it all at the counter presented for your picking. If you're like me you'll find yourself making your selection but then changing your mind since so much sounds good.
I forget the exact name of the 3 items I ordered but they were pretty much: toffee cookie, chili cheese cornbread, and bacon, cheese, chive scone.
It seems like it's common to serve baked goods at room temp around here so I made sure to get it all warmed up except for the cookie since I was going to eat it later on. My favorite was the cornbread which had real pieces of corn and a nice balance of salt, with slight sweetness. The scone had a lot of bacon, which gave it that good smokey flavor along with the cheese. The toffee cookie was pretty good with lots of toffee. But even though there was so much toffee, it was somewhat light on the overall toffee flavor.
I'm a fan of Purebread, if anything for their massive selection. I don't think I've ever seen so many choices. However, while I've always enjoyed their baked goods, I will say that they are not the best I've ever had, as well as they are not the worst by any means.
Be prepared to stand in a somewhat confusing line since the times I have gone there were several parties in front of me, but since it takes some time to decide it's more whoever is ready to order goes first. The staff was very friendly and there were several people ready to take orders. It was a clean modern interior with several tables, think your standard Starbucks size.
I definitely plan to visit Purebread when I'm back in the area. So many options to keep on trying.
