New bakery that opened up on Main street that has a cozy vibe to it. Lots of seating inside and a few outside. The smell of pastries and cakes are to die for. Yummm! A bit on the pricey side, but the pastry is well worth it. It's visually appealing, yummy, and a bonus that it is not overly sweet! read more

I have often seen Sweet Thea baked goods at places like Farmers markets or Xmas Craft fairs and have always been curious about their stuff. Really happy that they have an actual shop now where you can order, have the food warmed up and sit down to enjoy it on the spot. Doesn't hurt to also be able to order a nice hot drink to go with the food as well! They do more than just baked goods at this cafe too. They have things like sandwiches and soups as well. When I went in, they had not just 1 daily soup, but 3 soups of the day to offer. There was Ham and Split pea, Butternut Squash, and...can't exactly remember the third. Something with mascarpone in it is all I remember. There are sooo many wonderful treats to choose from at this place, both savory and sweet. I chose a small quiche and a London Fog to go with it. My quiche had butter leeks, asparagus, gruyere cheese and thyme in it. I considered ordering some soup to go with it as well but then decided I would just start with the drink and quiche, then see if I had room afterwards to go back for some soup. Good thing I waited. The drink and the quiche turned out to be plenty filling enough already. If I want to try a soup next time I think I'd better be prepared to bring home leftovers of whatever baked good I might order to go with the soup. The quiche was really yummy and I loved the generous size of my London Fog drink. It was served in a nice, big cup. This was a great place to get a simple yet filling lunch. They do have fancier options as well. I considered ordering an Avocado Toast and might still try that one day. Since I'd been eyeing their baked goods for so many years though at all those Farmers Markets and Craft Fairs, I decided to try one of their baked goods, and that quiche did not disappoint! read more

This is a chain restaurant that offers delicious and fresh bakery items. Parking can be difficult to find for this establishment so be ready to park farther away in residential neighborhoods. I came here on a Sunday morning and the place was packed. There was a long line and not one empty table. All of the items looked delectable and the prices were very reasonable. They even had a person making fresh bread through a window where the customers can watch the process. I tried their palmier and it's one of the best I've ever tasted. They also have savory items on the menu. read more

Pre-ordered their seasonal pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit! This is a good place to stop for coffee and to pick up holiday favorite pastries for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Plus I appreciate that they donate unsold baked goods to local charities and help out the community, it's a solid promise that they make their pastries fresh. Cinnamon bun is still one of my favorite item to pick up here. Ambiance is also very cozy for reading a book here. The owner intentionally choose to not offer free WiFi to encourage more time spent on reading or to remind cafe visitors to unplug and unwind. read more

This is my new go to spot for meeting friends/family for a coffee and pastry in Vancouver. Parking is quite easy on Main St (or at least it's free). They have an amazing selection of fresh baked goodies/pastries and you can grab a loaf to go or some local vendors' goodies too (Maple Syrup, jams, etc.) The space is huge and bright, and you can see the bakers baking. There is a lot of seating (however it does get busy later in the morning!) The people who work the till don't seem the most friendly/interested, I'd add, and despite it being slow when I've been, won't bring you out your drink (which is fine, but as a former barista, if it was slow I'd do this and back then we didn't work for tips). Despite this, I still really enjoy coming here (but may consider not leaving a tip for no service). read more

I really do take some of the elites review very seriously and when I saw her post this location and it's goodies, she is right. Spacious Cafe Bakery located on Main Street with ample street parking. Very pretty decorum and very sturdy chairs. Tried a large Americano (too weak/light ) for my taste and my friend and I shared the Chocolate Pistachio Mousse and Vanilla Raspberry Lemon. Both cake slices are moist and very well thought out. Looking forward to returning. read more

Lovely bakery cafe on Main St. They carry a lot of Koko Monk's chocolate products and best of all their hot chocolate by Koko Monk is SO GOOD! Their baked goods are also tasty. I got their Double Baked Almond Croissant and a Palmier, their croissant definitely better of the 2. As for the space, its nice and open with wooden decor; lots of natural light. The place was crowded on a weekend - all the seats were taken. The kids were entertained watching them make bread through the window while we got our take out. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop now. I have had the baked stuff at farmer markets before they open this location. The bread is baked fresh daily and it is so good. I love their pastries and cakes and coffee too. Not into the hot chocolate as it is too sweet and not that chocolatey for me. For reference, I prefer Blenz, Thomas Haas and Thierry dark hot chocolate. They use Koko Monk hot chocolate here. The place is spacious but it gets very busy in the morning after 930 am, even on weekdays. It is quieter in the late afternoon but that means the breakfast and lunch menu is unavailable too. I like that they also carry other local producers' products like honey and coffee beans etc. there is a table of books if you want something to read. Free parking is available on the street. read more

Such a great place to have in the area. The space is open and inviting with a large window that allows you to watch their bread makers at work. My daughter loved sitting and watching them pat the bread and set portions into trays. I've been here on several occasions and their treats are reasonably priced and delicious. On my most recent visit I tried their chocolate hazelnut babka and it was everything I wanted it to be. The perfect amount of chocolate with a good amount of hazelnut chunks with a fun knot of dough to made it easy to pull apart and share. I've tried babkas at another well known Ukrainian bakery and Sweet Thea's was much sturdier and fulfilling. It was $6 and I would return for this. They have a loyalty program that allows you to collect points with dollars spent to redeem for items such as macarons or cookies. Definitely makes visits here more fun! read more

Nice large bakery and coffee shop on Main. Parking is available on the side streets, as well as limited time parking in front. The place is nice and modern and spacious. Bright walls and high ceilings, and several tables outside (E facing patio). This place has AC. Looks like they have an actual baking station here. Bunch of us watched them make bakery stuff (round loaves) while drinking our coffees. Staff were friendly and professional. No complaints. My friend couldn't stop gushing about the coffee here. He was seriously impressed. I thought the coffee was definitely quite good too, but not life changing. Maybe my palate isn't developed. Wouldn't mind coming back, though the parking situation isn't the best. Recommended. read more

I usually like the service I receive at ST. Yesterday was a huge exception. I asked for three things and all three went wrong. I asked for a decaf cappuccino with oat milk, a couple hours later I felt ill, they had forgotten about the oat milk and used regular milk (I bought my friend same with regular milk so the person on cash punched it in as regular) They cut my bread without asking me. Usually they ask first, and they forgot about an order I had to go ask for it! With so many people looking for summer jobs and full-time jobs surely ST can hire people who actually care about customer service! I would not be putting this over the bread, but to feel ill for the rest of the evening because the staff member was lazy is not OK! And by the way we went there when they were not busy at all. The said staff member was literally just standing around! read more

The first phone message at 8 am Christmas Eve reminded me to pick up my pies by 2 pm. The second phone message came 30 minutes later saying, 'We are so sorry but we don't have your pre-ordered pumpkin pie, you can have another type of pie, cookies or a refund." When picking up my other items, staff were not empathetic. I was later told that the holiday employee who took my pie order would be fired after the holiday. Poor customer service on Christmas Eve 2025 for a longtime (now former) customer. read more

A nice little cafe on Main Street, near 32nd. There were many parents and babies when I went so it seems to be more geared towards family. There is another coffee shop nearby but I don't see too many families there. The service was great, place is bright and clean. They have a great selection of pastries, some desserts and drinks. They have some tables outside and it is mainly covered ( depending if it's windy or not ). It is fairly busy here so finding a table can sometimes be challenging. A good place to catch up with friends. T read more

The bakery has moved to a bigger space. Plus, they have added tables and seats for customers to enjoy coffee and finger food. It is such a great place for people to relax. I personally really like it. The bread and pastries are very good. Customer service is great. It's a bit hard to find parking in the neighbourhood. If you are living in the neighbourhood, it's more convenient to walk to the bakery/cafe. read more

Sweet Thea Bakery is in fact a bakery, you can observe the creation of their various cool cakes and baked treats as it happens from the inside seating - cool factor A+. A great deal of thought has gone into the flow and design of the bakery. They offer a substantial selection of delicious options, plus coffee house favourites and some Mile high cakes. Some seating inside and out, it was quite busy so we could find a table. Service staff was very friendly and the coffee came up quickly. We shared a super zesty lemon danish and blueberry scone, both excellent. My Americano was decent but I found it to be a little too hot, it burnt my tongue even though I had added Cream. Despite being busy it was super clean, you get the feeling it is a popular spot. I've been past this spot maybe 200 times and never noticed it, tucked away on Main Street. We will be back! read more

A lovely little bakery with the highest of quality treats ~ great mix of both savoury and sweet Everything is freshly made, beautifully displayed and DO taste as good as they appear. Had the good fortune of buying their cookies packs before at local craft shows, so its so nice to visit the actual shop in person! Hope to come here again soon. On this visit I bought a slice of lemon raspberry layer cake, a pear almond tart, fig bar, jam cookie, ginger snap cookie ... cause variety! (find me on Instagram @aida.loves ) read more

Just had coffee and a Scone and omgoodness ,first the coffee was just right " medium "and awesome ,but the scone I consider myself a bit of an expert in the Scone department and there scones have the right amount of what ever flavor you pick,Strawberry, blueberries,cheese and are a little crunchy on the outside ,dense and fluffy on the inside. I can't really describe how good they are, you will have to go try them yourself..... There Grrrrrrreat! read more

A bright, airy neighborhood bakery and cafe. Comfortably energetic and chatty with places to sit outside. They have a large and consistently delicious selection of breads and baked goods. I particularly like the cheddar jalapeno bread they have on the weekends but be warned, it's SPICY HACHAHCHACHA. The staff is cheerful and helpful. Be sure to get the fruit cake to serve at your yuletide gatherings. read more

Simply one of the best, and a gold standard in my book. Our first encounter was at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal 3 years ago, and the memory of that experience left a deep imprint in our noggins. Since then, my Husband and I have followed this business, and have purchased their goodies from local farmers markets and special events. I was so thrilled to learn that they opened up a shop in Vancouver during a recent trip! Located conveniently on Main St., the storefront has big wide windows so you can see all the wonderful creations from the street. We loved their croissants every time, so we grabbed a few of those this time. Pain au chocolat and almond croissants were delicious as usual, and executed flawlessly. Even getting them towards the end of the day yielded the same fluffy and crispy texture that we love. They also had lemon meringue cream puff that was fantastic as well. That might be a limited offering, but if you see it, I highly encourage you to try it out. It's equal parts tangy and sweet and the meringue is soft and airy. If you love savory, their ham and cheese croissant is really good too. It contains the perfect balance of butter and salt from the ham and cheese. One is definitely big enough for 2 people to share. Service is friendly, quick, and accommodating. Parking can be a little challenging if you come during the afternoon hours. Regardless, this place is worth stopping by, even if you're coming from afar. I look forward to many more visits! read more

Got a nice big haul of pastries and some cakes here for thanksgiving and we really enjoyed most of their baked goods, especially the croissants, but the cakes were a little bit too heavy on the buttercream and could not live up to the standard of a nearby bakery. They had a promotion for buy 3 croissants get one free so naturally, I got three including 2 ham and cheese, one chocolate and a free almond croissant. The almond was my favourite as there were plenty of sliced almonds on top. The frangipane filling was a bit sweet but the pastry itself was not too buttery making it a great treat! We also got the apricot danish and the green eggs and ham breakfast buddy, both well enjoyed by their eaters :) For their cakes, we tried out their cherry pistachio and the tuxedo cakes. The tuxedo was a classic with layers of vanilla mousse, chocolate buttercream, white and chocolate cake. Their cake layers are moist and dense but very delicious while the buttercream was much too hard and thick. It was like eating a brick of butter!! After removing this part, the rest of the cake was delicious! As for the cherry pistachio, it had a chocolate cake base with layers of chocolate mousse and pistachio filling. Again, I found the buttercream over the top too hard and thick but the rest of the cake tasted good. The balance of cherry to chocolate was delicious but the pistachio didnt really stand out. Overall, I will definitely return for their pastries and would love to try the bread but may not return for their cakes. read more

After hearing so many good things about Sweet Thea Bakery, I decided to go out of my way and visit to try it out for myself. I even arrived 7 minutes early and they said they weren't open yet because I was so eager to try their cakes! Haha. I purchased two different cake slices- chocolate pistachio and lemon raspberry. Both were so fresh and very well made! Both slices were so flavourful and delicious! I never had chocolate and pistachio in a cake flavour together and they made it very well! The lemon raspberry is always a good mix. I could really taste the freshness of the ingredients that they use. I also love that they use local quality ingredients! I would love to try their baked goods next time! read more

I have tried their baked goods and cookies at local fairs and markets and their main location is in Langley so when I saw they had opened a storefront on Main Street I was so happy! Their baked goods are delicious, fresh and made well. You can tell the put effort into what they make and it doesn't taste overtly heavy, sweet or greasy. Their staff is so friendly and kind! Also they are decently priced! read more

I went to the location at Tsawwassen terminal. I got a 12oz caramel macchiato for $5, not the cheapest coffee I've gotten but I knew what I was getting into getting ferry food lol.

Will definitely come back next time I'm at the terminal read more

If you can actually get their food, it's good. Let me tell you about my experience. I emailed to place a specialty order, no response. I then stopped by the store and was told to call their other store. Called and was told to email so I did. that was 4 weeks ago...still waiting Terrible customer service do not recommend. If They cannot be bothered to return a customers call or email they don't deserve the business. read more

Simply put - this place is amazing. the BEST christmas mince pies! My mother made her own pastry and fruit mixture, and Sweet Thea's come pretty close to my mother's perfect mince pies! Not too sweet and not sugary like so many other bakeries and pre packaged products. These christmas mince pies made our holiday season so much better! They also have a small store at the Tswwassen ferry terminal so go get yourself some great confectionary :) read more

Their sourdough breads, croissants and danishes are so delicious. I don't live nearby but make the trip over whenever I can!

Mom and pop run bakery, bread made fresh daily and the sweetest granddad to help you. His wife is the baker and it's the sweetest bakery I've been to a long time. They have so many selections of focaccia, breads, pastries, cakes and cookies to choose from on a daily! This place is definitely under represented!! I hope you all can go check it out for yourself! read more

The Sweet Thea Bakery coffee kiosk at the ferry terminal is a big disappointment. We used to look forward to stopping there when it was run by a Gulf Islands group. The coffee blend was bad tasting and not hot. The Chai tea was also lukewarm. The chai was replaced by a grumpy kid. Not returning there. Ended up throwing both in the trash can. Will go to Starbucks next time. read more

Amazing selection of baked goods. The Bird's Nest "Jammers" cookies are a must try. I'm not normally into these types of cookies (my wife is) but they taste like little mini raspberry crumbles. Best I've ever had and very addicting with tea. Other cookies and baked breads are also very good. If you try a selection of at least a few things, you should get addicted to something. Looking forward to trying some of their savoury pastries next time. A very nice and welcome addition to Main Street. read more

A lovely addition to Main Street. There's definitely an abundance of cafes and bakeries here, but Sweet Thea is indeed very unique with it's charming rustic decor and delightful baked goods, cookies, gorgeous celebration cakes, creme puffs and condiments. Quality and honesty of ingredients is their forte as well as the fact that they use real butter of course. Go try their jammers and I'm sure you'll back for more. Favourites include the savoury poppovers, macarons, hand pies, fruit pies, palmiers and many many more. read more

Fantastic cookies, scones and bread. The chocolate chip cookies are even better cold out of the fridge, nice and crispy! Love this place!
