    Buckwheat Sour Cherry, Raspberry White Chocolate and Lemon Blueberry.  Desert Island food.
    John P.

    Absolutely -- here's a polished, lively version that keeps your voice but cleans up the flow and punch: Is there a better scone on the planet? I seriously doubt it. A bright, inviting space in a hip part of town, with chill vibes shaped by a reliably savvy playlist overhead. The staff is fantastic, and the coffee service is consistently excellent. Just keep an eye on your spot in line when things get busy -- a few eager line-crashers might put you in a surly state. And whatever you do, try the Buckwheat.

    For those guilty pleasures or your morning pick me up. I love coming here for baked goods and my breakfast granola to take home. Everything is fresh and delicious.

    Got a delicious butter tart (warning it has raisins but still tasty) and a turkey Brie Sandwich. Very nice and filling lunch. Service was prompt.

    Purebread was recommended to me by my hair stylist, a Vancouver native, while I was on a weekend trip in Vancouver so I knew I had to try it out. I stopped in on a rainy Saturday morning, so there weren't too many customers, but there was an abundance of baked goods. I was honestly a bit overwhelmed by the number of options they had! My friend and I picked up a few things, but the one thing that really stood out to me was this spinach and cheese muffin. It was warm, savory, and hit all the right spots for a rainy day! The workers were all really nice and friendly

    The neighborhood this Purebread location is in is a hidden gem far comfier than the waterfront false creek area (currently over populated). Purebread has blocked off a section along the bike route on Ontario for their covered patio / outdoor seating situation, they currently have 4 large picnic tables setup for patrons, do note: they are currently window service & credit card only. The rotation of goods are on display along the storefront windows, the only downside is not ever knowing what to get!!! Always a feast for the eyes. I was craving their class lemon meringue bar today, and unfortunately that particular item was not in rotation at that time. I opted for the last slice of a coconut buttermilk cake slice and newest in the 'pastry case', a blackberry lemon bar (close enough to satisfy cravings). The bar was delicious and generously portioned to the point I would/could have it as a light meal. I enjoyed the tanginess of the blackberry which was a nice change in palette to the heavier creamy base. Their coconut cake was likewise enjoyable, though I knew it'd be heavier as a buttermilk based cake, this slice was too much for one sitting because slightly dense for my liking. Flavour wise, the coconut was definitely there, the sweet aromas carried through each bite. The ganache coating was just sweet enough as a midday dessert. I highly recommend the trek to Purebread when in the false creek neighborhood. They never fail to fill any of my sweet tooth cravings with the widest range of classic American goodies (think chocolate everything, fruit bars, caramel-y goodies and of course, bread loaves).

    Coffee and scone cost 10 bucks...PRICEY. I asked the server to heat my scone up...cold. I returned it and asked her to heat it up again... STILL COLD. My suspicion is that management doesn't give a fig about customer service. The argument "we don't use microwaves" isn't good... there are plenty of small convection ovens that will heat baked goods up quickly and properly. Great music. SLOW wireless. Hopefully they'll speed it up.

    Vegan hippy dippy cookie
    Matt B.

    Extremely high-quality baked treats with many vegan options. I'd walked by this bakery many times and always admired the (pricy) baked goods displayed on the window sills. I finally decided to try a vegan cookie ("vegan hippy dippy cookie"), with oats, seeds, chocolate, peanut butter, and dried fruit. Man was it delicious. It had a beautifully, chewy texture, balanced by all the aforementioned ingredients with just enough peanut butter to add some decadence and not too sweet for my lack of sweet tooth. Pretty top-notch vegan cookie! I'll definitely have to return to try their other stuff. Pricy but worth it for the quality.

    Coconut Buttermilk Cake, Pudgie Pie, Latte
    Dana S.

    I've been here twice now, once for a snack and then back a few months later for lunch, and was super impressed both times. They have an impressive rotating selection of bakes, including whole cakes and loaves of bread in addition to single serving treats. They have lots of savoury baked goods and a small selection of sandwiches. Their savoury stuff is well-balanced between vegetarian and meat selections. Their current set-up is window service, with the food displayed in the window that you line up against as you wait. This gives you plenty of time to take in the options! They have four picnic tables set up in a patio area if you want to stay and eat. The service is friendly and quick. Between my two visits I tried their Pudgie Pie (hand pie filled with potato, caramelized onion, feta, and chevre), Pistachio Lime Zucchini Loaf, and Coconut Buttermilk Cake Slice, and also a latte. I really liked the textures of the cheeses in the Pudgie Pie and the caramelized onions added a deep rich flavour. The crust was also perfectly flaky. Both of the sweet bakes I tried really delivered on flavour and texture. I like the coarse but fluffy crumb of their cakes, and the frosting on both was indulgent and delicious, but I really liked the cream cheese frosting the pistachio loaf had going on. (I saw that they sometimes offer this loaf in cake form on my latest visit, and was tempted to get it, but decided to try something new and I'm glad I did because the coconut was also divine!) Even though they're not known for their coffee, the latte was amazing and if they taste like that consistently, it puts Purebread in my top two places to get a coffee in Vancouver. The espresso had a nutty, almost butterscotch flavour. I'll definitely be visiting this or their other locations many more times!

    Box of goodies
    Issabelle F.

    Purebread's treats are some of my favourite in the city. I've visited their Downtown location numerous times, but never been to their Mount Pleasant location. I was dining at Tacofino across the street earlier this week and since I was a bit early, I hopped on over to Purebread to pick up a box of goodies. One of my favorite things about Purebread is that there is a treat for everyone. They have plenty of options ranging from vegan, vegetarian, gluten sensitive, nut sensitive, fruity, savoury, sweet, and more. I've tried numerous things from Purebread now, with their lemon raspberry bar, chocolate bottomed banana bread, and brownie cheesecake being at the top of my favourites list. Thankfully, they had all of those left when I popped in so I grabbed all three of those, plus an additional lemon loaf and a veggie roll. As always, everything was fresh, rich in flavour and decadently delicious. For how large each treat is $3-$5 per treat is a steal, that I don't mind paying. During Covid times this particular location isn't open for dine in. All their goodies are displayed at the windows at the front of the store and you go to the door to place your order and they'll hand you your goodies. Staff are masked up and there is plexiglass in between you and the staff. This location is much easier to get to than Downtown given how much surrounding parking there is, so I will be frequenting this Purebread location often - much to the dismay of my bank account and much to the excitement of my belly. Thank you for all the treats, Purebread!

    I've been here three times because their stuff looks so good. But each time, their cakes are terrible. Dense and doughy.

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.

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!
