Best bakery in the city with now a dangerous location even closer to my home and commute!! Decent prices for the high quality you get. This new location is awesome but maybe a touch less on the pure willy Wonky asthetic that makes you wonder if you dies and went to heaven just moments before you entered. Get anything: bread, brownies, anything. Convenient Mobi bikeshare station kitty corner. read more

Morning glory, raspberry-rhubarb scone, a notsurewhatitiscalled chocolate brownie, and a caramalized apple yummy thing. Servers were attentive, fast, checkout felt like a trendy experience and decor was crisp and clean with a relaxed clientele. Basically I could live in this place, maybe they can build a Purebread apartment building above this location, mmmm. Next block has Terra Breads just in case you need a switch up. This area is starting to rock! read more

It would be so easy to indulge in all this bakery has to offer because everything looks so amazing! We narrowed our choices to a ham and cheese coissant, a raspberry sugar bomb pastry and a peanut butter cake. The coissant was flaky but the ham and cheese could've been more substantial. Generously filled, the sugar pastry hit the right notes without being overly sweet. The peanut butter cake was the winner as it encompassed a truely nutty flavour. It was very moist and the peanut butter icing provided that sweet nuance necessary. We accompanied our treats with a robust Americano - the perfect pairing. The space is nice and open and it's a very comfortable space to meet friends, work or just spend time reflecting as the world goes by. read more

Purebread - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Delicious baked goods in a very neat not busy location. Lots of natural lighting, perfect place to hangout with your girlfriends! I got the pistachio loaf. Mannnn the cream cheese on top was delicious. I'm usually not a fan of icing but this was not too sweet but just not sweet enough. I do wish I got the coconut vegan banana loaf! They also have a lot of savoury options. My friends got the scones and they were very flavourful and surprisingly soft! read more

My coworkers told me to give this a try as it was new in the neighbourhood. It's very spacious and looks trendy new. There's a wide range of goodies here like breads, scones, cookies, cakes, and brownies. For an average price of $5 for a treat, it's not a bad deal. I got myself a lemon chevre brownie as I have never had a brownie with goat's milk. A bite of this soft dessert was all it took to win my heart. I'm not fond of overly sweet chocolate, but this one finds its balance with the hint of chevre. There is a bit of a line up, but understandable as there's lots to look at. I absolutely welcome others to try this bakery in this humble area. read more

This spot has a nice environment and a good selection of baked goods. Since I'm not hugely into sweets, I opted for the loaded bun, which is topped with feta cheese, pesto and tomato. It tasted great. It was a little steep price wise at $6.65. It's basically a bagel with a few toppings. However, I noticed a lot of enticing sweets, like the lemon lavender loaf , carrot cake or tropical cake topped with good-looking cream cheese icing. I think people who love sweets will like this place. I haven't tried the bread or coffee, but I'll aim for that on the next visit. read more

Mmmm delicious! There's not much to say about Purebread as a whole, because the offerings are pretty much the same at this mini franchise. The food here is delicious, the staff is friendly, and it's a medium sized location. It was very clean and is a great place to meet up for a chat or having a meeting. I bought the raspberry scone. It was beyond good! I ate it so fast lol. No shame...I want more!! read more

I don't get the hype that surrounds Purebread. Sure, their selection is abundant, but their baked goods are really not all that great in my opinion. Having visited their locations in Whistler, Gastown, and Mount Pleasant, my takeaway is that ALL their treats are TOO SWEET, and I'm joined by many friends who also feel this way. It was to the point we just couldn't finish the items we ordered. I remember ordering a raspberry cobbler mini pie and the cobbler-to-pie stuffing ratio was terrible....I felt like I was eating straight up cobbler topping (some say this is the best part, but I digress)! With so many fine bakeries/pastry shops in this city and with Purebread's rapid expansion and into the Lower Mainland, looks like another "Bread Garden" disaster from the 90s waiting to happen. I'd shuffle this bakery with the Breka's of this city. They definitely aren't Thomas Haas or Thierry territory, where if you're like me, win in the quality over quantity department. read more

This location is very spacious compared to the one in downtown. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there lots of seating but a lot of the baked good were already sold out. There was a short line but it moved quickly. My mom and I opted for the apple crumble, chocolate cake and coffee. Both the pastries were way too sweet for me. Don't think I'll be coming back again but if you a big sweet tooth I would definitely recommend checking this bakery out! read more

Purebread - Chocolate cake + apple crumble - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

One of my favorite places to get my sweet or savory items. I recommend this place for sure.

I love lounging here on a Saturday. It's a nice clean space and very relaxing. Good for friends , couples, families. Sometimes parking is difficult. As far as the food, it's okay. I haven't had anything that was a wow factor. I usually just get coffee. Most pastries etc are over priced and not so great tasting. Not awful, but not great. I guess I would return to get coffee. read more

Be still my beating heart! purebread on 5th Avenue is totally calling my name. A colleague told me I should "at least venture in to look" at the vast selection of sweet and savoury bits of delish - little tarts, big meringues, stunning cakes, marvellous loaves. Baked goods to suit every eating plan - vegan, vegetarian, flourless; an amazing variety of baked goods are found here. The oozy butter tart was so exciting to devour. The carrot cake was the best, seriously, ever to pass my experienced lips. It took me three tries -afternoon coffee, dessert and breakfast to finish the substantial piece of icing enrobed cake. Fabulous cakes to order, 48 hours notice. Lots of street parking, or walk over from Main Street. Indoor and outdoor seating. Just a magnificent spot in deep Mount Pleasant. Visit. Eat. read more

Purebread - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Came here with my bf on a Saturday afternoon. Not our first time coming to Purebread but it was our second time coming to this location (the first time, I didn't order anything so I couldn't write a review). Place was very busy but we managed to find seats by the wall. I love coming to Purebread because they always have so many huge and delicious looking pastries to choose from. My bf and I both got their regular drip coffee which the only good thing about it was that it was unlimited refills if you decided to stay. The bad thing about their coffee was that they were too acidic. Potato, Chive + Feta Cheese Pudgy Pie (there wasn't a full description for this so you would have to ask the server because there were 2 types) - This was so good especially warmed up. It The filling was cheesy and flavorful, and the potatoes were cooked just right. I really liked the edges because it was super crunchy and crispy. The pastry itself was tender and flaky. The only bad thing I would say about it was that it was a bit pricey even though it was quite huge but I know a place where they sell big pastries for cheap! (4.5/5) Nutella Brioche - This wasn't super amazing but it wasn't bad. I think it would of been way better if it was warmed up. The texture of the brioche was like eating a cinnamon bun which wasn't a bad thing. You could taste the nutella but there wasn't much of it so the ratio of bread to nutella was off. (3/5) Overall, huge range of pastry items which are absolutely amazing. Their pudgy pie was very good but not so much their nutella brioche. Even though their coffee was quite acidic for me, I would have it again because it is unlimited and their other coffee are way too steep in price. read more

Definitely one of my top bakeries in Vancouver. One of best things about this spot are the dizzyingly gorgeous display cases! They stack up the dozens of choices along the counter and it makes it super difficult to choose! I often opt for the crack bar (oatmeal and brown sugar) or the goat cheese brownie. If you are feeling super hungry get one of their grilled cheese sandwiches (they take about 10 minutes but SO worth it!). Their coffee is also delicious and overall it's just such a great spot for something sweet. read more

Upon the cessation of my life, if I was given a choice between going to heaven or eating Purebread baking, it would be a tough decision. You know what I'm saying? read more

Purebread is one of my favourite bakeries to visit! I've been to their other locations & the 5th Ave location is my favourite. It's bright & spacious with street parking available surrounding the building. When I sit in to enjoy my treat, there's always a constant flow of customers coming in. When you walk in, their display area of baked goods catches your eye immediately. There's a huge variety of items to choose from, from sweet to savoury. I always have a hard time choosing what to get because I just want to order everything! Their crack bar is my all time favourite when I'm craving for something sweet & I'll always pick up a loaf of bread to bring home for the week. read more

Since Purebread offers a huge selection of goods (and I do mean huge. I have never seen so many selections at a single bakery), it can be really good and can also be really bad. I give it 4 stars because I think it's possible to find something you really like here, and keep coming back for, but it's hard to find what that would be with the variety and rotation of selections. So far I've had: Jalapeno and cheese scone: hands down, best scone I've ever had. Flavour and texture were both perfect. Mint chocolate loaf: terrible. It was hard, dry, and crumbly, and the only mint chocolate nom I've ever disliked. Caramel creme brulee tart: more tart crust than anything else unfortunately. Mini flourless chocolate cake: incredible, super rich and moist, like a brownie but less dense and big/indulgent enough for 2-3 people. Like many shops in Mount Pleasant, it has that hispter-modern-rustic vibe. It's spacious, bigger than most cafes and bakeries around but always busy and difficult to find seating if you come later in the day. The people are friendly but I do find with the large selection, it's difficult to know what you want when you're ordering in the line because you haven't seen the rest of the selection. Luckily, they seemed to be well staffed at busy hours! read more

Purebread !! Such a variety and new location is bright and open space. Coffee is always spot on. I really love their scones but everything is worth a try if you can handle it. read more

I tried Purebread for the first time today! I bought a bacon and egg brioche it was really good but for 7.00$ I was hoping for more than 2 slivers of bacon! Just don't say bacon if there is no bacon!! Not sure what's wrong with my phone but it won't let me remove the last line it's time vancouver dropped its prices a bit so everyone can enjoy good food!! I think it's that r read more

I've never visited the other locations. New shop and what an inviting display upon entering. Smells fantastic. I like to try something new each time I visit. Everything thus far has been excellent. However, I think I was given wrong dish last time? Had asked for banana brownie for takeaway. It was certainly a brownie but tasted like caramel and maybe a type of cheese? Prices are just on the upper edge of comfortable read more

Interesting bakery with window variety bread and cake... Great atmosphere and nice barista

I have enjoyed their food in the past, but posting this review on quality of service - my boyfriend ordered specifically a chocolate birthday cake during the pandemic (July 2020) and when he went to pick it up, they had sold it to someone else and only had a vanilla buttercream instead. He had no other options, but it was disappointing, and no discount was offered. He gave them another chance in 2021 but they didn't write on the cake as ordered, it was blank. He emailed feedback on both and was never acknowledged. If this is your business, how difficult is it to fulfill special orders correctly? To not even offer a discount, a gift card, or respond to an email is poor service, and I just have no interest in going back. read more

You know how a piece of cake gets all crusty when sitting out in the open for while? Well that's what a $7 slice of cake is like at this place. It was an okay cake slice apart from the dried out crusted side. Nothing special. Way back in the day when these folks were at a farmers market, their goods were much tastier and higher quality. read more

Delicious food. I mean. DELICIOUS. Service? Not really. They are really SLOW and not particularly friendly. If you are in a rush do not go there! read more

Yummy delicious food, blonde lady with thick framed glasses - terrible! I kept hearing such great things about Pure Bread and my first time in there I was "helped" by that one lady. Total turn off. read more

It's outside the Olympic village so I always forget this place existed. Nonetheless I tried on Saturday for the first time. Initial impression was good, huge assortment of baked goods, but the signage was lacking, some things weren't labeled. Then it went all downhill from there. Service was also slow and took me a 2-3 mins standing there trying to get someone's attention.I got the apple pie and spinach and cheese muffin to go and left promptly. When I got home I realized, they gave me the wrong pie. Instead of apples it was peaches. The pie itself wasn't the good. The crust was very thin on the bottom and the crumble on top was way too sweet. I think regardless of the fruit I don't recommend any of the pies because the crumble looked on all their pies. The pie was about $6 The spinach and cheese muffin was alright, but nothing special. It was kinda of small and I couldn't really taste the cheese. The muffin was about $4.50 Overall I wouldn't not recommend coming here. The service was lacking, the taste balance was off, and the value was not there. I would rather stick with terra bread read more

I used to love This place for their fresh pastries however the last three times I've gone has been shortly after opening and scones Ive ordered have been stale. You would think they would be super fresh at opening but I'm pretty sure they are day old. It's too bad that with popularity, they have gone downhill. read more

My god do I ever wish I could eat 90% of the items here. Visually stunning display of sweet and savoury items. Sometimes I get to buy the gluten filled items to spoil friends with: cheddar pepper scone, caramel bar, three layer cakes etc I purchase the flour free items. Which are great. Flourless choc cake and the macaroons. Each time I've had the flourless brownie it's killed my stomach very badly and I've been somewhat ill since my Most recent purchase on Saturday :( I wish they had more flourless choices!! read more

My go to for bread, have never been disappointed. The selection is delightfully overwhelming!!

Very good food! Staff needs better training though. Feels like they don't know what they are doing, took them more 5 minutes just to figure out a price for the pastry I got. Not the most friendliest staff either, saw a couple of them being rude to each other behind the counters. I thought that was pretty unprofessional. In other words, they need to work on their customer service. read more

Amazing selection of pastries and breads. Stopped by this place randomly and we probably tried 6 different things, all top notch. Definitely stop by one (there are multiple locations) if your want to load up on carbs :) read more

I'm beginning to think there are no bad choices at any of the locations! The latest delicious surprise was the Zucchini Lime Pistachio cake/Loaf. Seriously good! Bought one to serve to guests and went back 2 days later to get a 2nd one - different guests . Moist, lots of flavour & fluffy cream cheese icing. Recommend it!! read more

I love this place. So amazingly good. Be warned tho, everything is overly sweet. A few bites in and it is sugar overkill. I can only handle a few bites of the coconut buttermilk cake (very very sweet). However the lemon coconut and carrot cake are less sweet and both winners! Not a huge fan of the cookies or brownies. All a bit too dry and lacking something. That being said, great atmosphere, fairly good staff, and a lot of variety. All in all, one of the best go to sweet spots in Vancouver. Highly recommend the cakes and bars. When christmas rolls around, i give them two extra stars just for all the different and creative items (especially the cream cheese blondie with ginger and the white chocolate/coconut balls). read more

I love pure breads baked goods. Huge, amazing and delicious variety. Where the are hugely lacking is their staff. I keep coming across the same girl who is so incredibly unfriendly and slow. My last visit she had forgotten my pastry warming up for over 5 minutes with zero apology... they weren't even busy. read more

What can I say? Just go have the best pastries in town mmmmmm anything and everything you can imagine is here if you love sweeties. May fav is the buckwheat scone, who knew! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed read more

What an excellent little bakery! Not just your usually cookie and cake bakery. Fresh creations every day. The bakers take a lot of pride in their work. Good coffee too! read more

Love their breads and the assortment of pastries. Staff is friendly and patient. It took us a few minutes to decide which ones to get since it was our first time in their store and I would have gotten all of their baked treats if I could finish them. We got their walnut raisin loaf, which had the right softness and a hint of sweetness. Loved their pecan pastry (I forgot what they call it) and s'mores brownies. We're definitely coming back for more. read more

By far my favourite bakery since day one. Everything is SO good there whether it's sweet or savoury. Highly recommend!

Almond croissant, bacon and egg brioche, all sorts of breads and pastries... great to have a closer one outside of downtown.
