COVID-19 DELIVERY REVIEW: During this time, I''ve found some joy in getting yummy goods delivered to my door. Swiss Bakery was offering 10% off and free delivery on orders over $25 (before tip), and they apparently have a product called "Frissants" which caught my eye. I decided to checkout their online ordering system and found it very user-friendly, and most products had pictures which helped a new customer like me figure out what to order. I got the 2 flavors offered at the time, the Lemon Hisbiscus and the Strawberry Thyme ($4.50/each). They were both very good! But also very oily. They reminded me of the sugared PNE donuts except bigger and had different flavors. I see some reviewers comparing these to cronuts; I've had cronuts in NYC before and these do not taste the same. The frissants here are less dense, more sugary as both were covered in sugar, and more oily - I prefer these frissants over cronuts because I like a more airy and sweet product (except for the oil). They have a large offering of other goods too. We also tried: - Matcha Brownie ($3.80) - Was OK with strong matcha flavors and on the sweet side. - Double Baked Almond Croissant ($4.50) - Was OK but I've had better around the city. - Rosemary Raspberry Madeleine ($2) - Because I normally use Rosemary on my chicken, I couldn't get over thinking about chicken as I ate these. Its an acquired taste. So far I'd definitely get their frissants again and continue trying their other goods for other new favorites. As for the delivery, you get to choose your delivery time from what's available online and they arrive within an hour of that time. Our delivery came 30min before the delivery time chosen. It was prompt and they use their own delivery which is always a plus!
My husband told me about this little bakery off of Main St. I wouldn't have known about it if he didn't tell me. Though the bakery is tucked away it seems pretty busy, which I can understand because of all the different baked goodies they offer (Apple strudels, walnut oatmeal currant cookies, brownies, cakes, croissants and frissants). Swiss Bakery is definitely protecting their staff members from COVID. They have set up a walk up concept with a sliding window and speaker so they can close the window and hear your order. They do have tape on the sidewalk to separate other patrons for the 6 feet rule. For the food and drinks I have only had the matcha latte. Now I haven't been to many places for matcha but I can say that Swiss bakery matcha is much better then Starbucks matcha. I find the texture is smoother and less lump when you drink A++. I've tasted the Pear Au Wine Frissant and Apple Fritter. Pear Au Wine was definitely something that I had never tried before. It's a mix between a croissant and donut. I found it quite nice not too sweet and had a perfect balance of flaky inside and outside deep fried like a donut feel. Now, I found the Apple fritter tasted good, not overly sweet, though I wish there was bigger pieces of apple or an apple filling in the centre. It just didn't taste a lot like apple to me. I also found pockets of oil when I was biting down in certain parts of the fritter. Would I get it again probably not, but I will try many more of their other goodies.
Reasonably priced and good quality pastries. I tried their pretzel croissant since I was craving something savoury. It definitely delivered on tasting like a pretzel. From appearance, it didn't look like much, but it had the perfect saltiness to it and wasn't too buttery. At $3.50, it was worth it. Last time I visited, my friend had their coffee and mini creme brulee croissant summer special combo. It was a good deal and the croissant was the perfect size. With a chantilly cream inside, it can be quite filling, so the mini portion was just right. My friend enjoyed it and would come back to try more. I'd also come back to try their other pastries or sandwiches. Currently there is construction in the area, so it's a bit of a maze to get to it since some sidewalks are closed. But I'd still make the trek to it for their baked goods.
I bought a couple of cronuts (frissants) and a chocolate croissant here. All of them tasted great! I went to this bakery before they closed at 6pm, so there was not much varieties remaining. I should have come in the morning. I told a server there that it was my first time here. She introduced me what was good or very good. I thanked her help. When I drove by on the way to work in the morning, I saw people came here to buy a cup of coffee and some bread or pastries for breakfast. Usually the bread and pastries are more fresh and soft in the morning. There is street parking in front of the bakery. It is quite convenient. If you are in the neighbourhood, you should visit this European bakery and try some of their bread or pastries.
Came here after dropping by Beta 5 as they were sold out of all their cream puffs :(( Luckily, it meant that I now had more stomach space to sample treats from Swiss Bakery ! It was right before dinner but I got a whole massive box (twice the size of my head) of goodies to try. Earl grey baby frissant (2/5) This was kind of a fail considering all the rave reviews about their frissants. The pasty was oily and dense, not flaky and light. The cream was way too watery as well. I might give this another go, but the regular sized version instead. Hopefully it will be less of a disappointment. Glazed doughnut (3.5/5) Pretty good, not too sweet. The dough could have been a tad more fluffy though. Coffee doughnut (4/5) This was a nice doughnut and I cannot believe that it's vegan ! The coffee elevated the flavour of the doughnut, and again, it was not too sweet, which I liked. Pecan tart (2.5/5) Not my favourite pecan tart I've tried, but it was passable. A little small for the price though. Gluten free brownie (4/5) This was also really good, and had a rich chocolate flavour. It was smooth and silky, and reminded me of a fender version of a ganache. Not the kind of brownies that I'm used to eating, but good nonetheless. Genmaitcha brownie (4.5/5) This had a nice matcha flavour that was prominent but not overpowering. I really enjoyed this a lot. Creme brulée croissant (3.5/5) Saw this on Instagram and I just had to try it. It's super photogenic, but the croissant itself was just average. Peanut butter crunch (5/5) This is a must get ! The peanut butter had a nice crunch to it and it had a nice strong peanut butter taste. This was my favourite out of all the items that I tried. I will definitely be back ! I love the creativity of the items, and most items were really tasty. The people were pretty friendly, and prices are reasonable. I'm going to give their frissant another go next time. After eating all the sweets we went to Heritage Asian Eatery on Broadway for dinner. I will post the review on that asap.
Out of town guests? Ok, you need to try a Cronut. Except that term is now trademarked so we will partake of a "Frissant". On the most recent visit the flavours were Key Lime (meringue on top and tangy custard inside) and Mango Apple Crunch (apple pie filling and spiced crumbs on top). I LOVE that you are able to buy mini-frissants. They are the perfect size for this gal's appetite. My favourite item was not the most glamorous looking but boy did it bring the flavour! It was a 'granola' bar we grabbed from the top counter as an after-thought really. Sweet, soft grains with chunks of apricot and other delights interspersed. By the time we got back to our vehicle, there wasn't a morsel left. I have never had anything savoury, want to go back and sample. All of the sweets have been on point each time. You can grab & go, sit outside or in the cafe where natural light spills prettily in.
I came on an empty stomach and left on an empty stomach. I have always believed that if you ate hungry, everything would taste better. However, this wasn't true with Swiss Bakery. I was quite confused when I bit into my first "frissant", because all I could taste was an oily pastry that was left out for too long. Now, I don't really write many negative reviews but I was honestly quite disappointed with the frissant at Swiss Bakery. I haven't tried the real "cronut" made in New York yet, but I have tried Secret Location's cronut and it is much better than Swiss Bakery's frissant. We shared the chocolate frissant and the espresso frissant, and both were sub-par pastries. It was simply too oily and the cream was not good. The coffee flavoured cream was very bitter and it tasted like it was made from cheap instant coffee. Anyways, we also tried their pretzels and cream puffs and they were not good either. I could barely bite through the pretzel and while the swan-shaped cream puff was nice to look at, it was horrible to eat. The puff pastry shell was extremely hard, almost as if they had left it out for days! On the bright side, their staff were extremely polite and kind. I would say that Swiss Bakery is highly overrated.
The Swiss bakery is located on 3rd Ave and near Main Street. It's kind of big bakery shop and they influence Greek, German, French, and Swiss Bakery. I heard about trendy food from the news and radio last year, however, I doubt to try it! Cronut is a deep fried croissant donut then sugared, filled, and glazed! OMG! Sounds like greasy and unhealthy to me! I knew Swiss Bakery makes frissant is the Canada version of cronut. I was so braved to buy the chocolate orange and regular frissant! Well.. I doubt they use grapeseed oil to deep fried it, it's was not crispy and flaky inside even a bit dry! In fact, it's too sweet and greasy for me. Trendy food for trendy people but just not me.
*Evil grin complete* Thinking ahead on the weekend for the girls meant only a 2 day differential before they DEMANDED that I fulfill my duties to satisfy their VORACIOUS appetite for baked goods of the sweet, sugary, cream filled, deep fried kind. They remembered me talking about it and they broke down. All of them. Women! They have NO will power! Girl 1: "OK, enough talk about the cronuts (frissants)! I want one. When are they coming? I can't believe you had one without sharing!!!!!!" Girl 2: "Oh!!!!!!!!!! You are so bad!!!!! I can feel my waistline expanding just thinking about it, but I'll have one." Girl 3: "I've been hearing so much about these. I want one." Girl 4: *Silent* but she had a huge grin. I happily obliged. And you wonder why I say single guys need to learn to bake? =P This is another one of those priceless moments. I already had my share on the weekend. I won't be partaking. The frissants were hoovered in a matter of nanoseconds. I was lucky I had time to take the pic! You know at the zoo where there are signs that say, "Do not feed the animals"? I thought I was going to lose my hand during the feeding frenzy. I think I need to set up a cage to protect myself next time. And there *will* be a "next time" I'm such a meanie. =D
Yummy Frissant!! Ok so I'm a sweet / pastry addict if you have a croissant and donut marriage and you deep fry it and call is frissant, Im there!! It's my two favourite things croissant and donuts how can you go wrong! Its so good, the consistency of a croissant and sweetness of donut. I bought a cookies and cream flavoured the cream filling was so good! I also bought a pretzel and that was also delish. My surprise was the coffee is was good dark roast of course, so I grab my frissants and coffee sat outside and watch the world go by. Perfect Monday morning.
I had better treats elsewhere. So my work today has new people starting and we got treats from Swiss Bakery. Guess its cold because it was picked up early. I got a blueberry scone, and the scones are not like wow for some reasons.They look of their muffins and other treats looks nothing special. Scone taste like scones you can get elsewhere like at a supermarket. I saw my colleague grab a croissant. I think the croissant must be tasty because it looks really good looking.
Always a treat to check out the treats at the Swiss Bakery. I never leave without a reliable walnut/date bar. The pastries are clearly made with an experienced hand - looking top notch. The donuts are the best. Crispy exteriors and soft interiors with the perfect amount of chew. Perfection!
Everything looks delicious here. The croissants were just gorgeous, as were the rest of the baked goods. Would have been a 5 if not for the sandwiches. Pre-made, wrapped in plastic film. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was good, nice bun too but because it was pre-made the bread was a bit damp on the inside. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I'll be back I'm sure.

This spot was recommended by someone who raved about the bakery's frissants. Their other pastries were tempting to say the least, but I decided not to pig out. On a Friday morning around 8:30am, their special frissant flavor was key lime. The lady behind the counter mentioned the frissants were still being prepared and told me to return in about an hour and a half. I decided to pre-order two before meeting up with a friend. We had breakfast in the area over at Purebread which was about a five minute walk. When I came back to pick up my order, counter lady said I arrived just in time, so it seems 10am is when their supply is ready. As lovely as she was in getting me to look at their other offerings, I had to stand fast and bid her adieu. I shared a piece with my friend, who declared it to be too sweet and oily. In my opinion, the key lime filling's delicate tanginess helped round out the sweet and buttery flavors, while the slight crisp of each layer balanced well with the crème. Small in size but packs a wallop of indulgence for those with a sweet tooth. read more
Swiss Bakery serves an array of sweet and savoury baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee in an old-school atmosphere. Located on a relatively quiet street. Kind of a small place with a lot of the space taken up by the food cases, but they have a few large tables inside and more small tables on the patio. I dropped in for lunch and ordered a veggie breakfast sandwich, a slice of turtle cake, and a purple rain tea (their tea list had a few uncommon options which was cool). The breakfast sandwich was delicious. It came on a fresh pretzel bun which was the highlight, but the filling was also very tasty. Very satisfying portion size. The cake was good. I was there pretty early for lunch, maybe 10:30, and the person taking my order warned me that the cake had been frozen and might not be defrosted yet, but I ordered it anyway and by the time I ate it there was no trace of frost. It was pretty sweet but the slice wasn't too big so it was fine. Just a little heavy on the frosting. The prices were very reasonable. I was told they would bring my food to my table and assumed that also meant my drink, but when they brought my food out they told me to come get my drink inside. I'm getting picky, I was annoyed that my tea came in a paper cup when I ordered for here. But the staff were friendly. I forget this place is here because it's not directly on my path even though I pass by it most days just one street over, which is why it took me so long to try it out after living in Mount Pleasant for a year. I'll try to remember it's here and visit again. read more

I had to check out what frissants were, and boy am I glad I did. This local fritter and croissant hybrid was amazing, a definite must-try. I ordered a small honey lemon one, because I wanted a small taste before I commit myself to it. I would compare it to eating a cinnamon donut hole but much more softer on the inside. The outside was similar to a croissant. You did well to satisfy my sweet tooth, but I'll have to order a regular one next time. I need to try the other flavours! read more
I was in the area doing a french pastry run and decided to drop by for their hot chocolate offering. I ordered the 'yin' which impressed me because it was pretty big and a good value. I also like that it was nice and hot in temperature and the floral orange blossom water added a little 'je ne said quoi" to it. You can taste the subtle bittersweet dark chocolate flavour and it wasn't too sweet. The lamington cake was moist and went well with the drink. Good job Swiss Bakery. read more

Came to try their frissants which are very tasty. They have a wide selection of items and I will definitely be back to try others. You can get smaller taster size frissants or regular sized ones. The frissants come in different feature flavours and will sell out so come early in the day if you can. I was able to try a savoury Brie and Pancetta one as well as a chocolate one. I preferred the filling and toppings of the chocolate one although the frissant itself was light and fluffy for both so highly recommend. Staff are warm and service was great. read more
Their frissants are amazing! I came here a few times before and the frissants are a must have! Each time I visit they have another flavour which is great to try! Usually they have about 2 flavours and only sell a certain amount a day. I also had their beef baguette before and that was super tasty as well! As for the ham and cheese croissant I find it to be bit too dense for a croissant and wished it was bit more flakey but still good! Will definitely come here again many more times to try more! read more

* Fried croissants?!??? * I still love the soft European style pretzels and hazelnut praline florentines here. But on a recent visit I discovered their newest offering which they call a frissant. I hadn't heard the term before, so I asked. It is a donut made out of croissant dough. That didn't sound very appealing to me, but I had to give it a try to see what it was. The variety they had on offer when I visited was the hazelnut praline. They use the same praline that they put into the florentines - a nice creamy rich hazelnut. That is placed inside of a quite tall donut made from croissant dough. Here is a photo of it: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/swiss-bakery-vancouver?select=GWri4XDi70K73NwLqVPevA#GWri4XDi70K73NwLqVPevA When you break it open there was just too much grease from all the butter for my taste. Croissants basically don't need the additional fat of frying for me. It is too over the top. I had flashbacks to a random state fair in the Southern US where I tried deep fried coke. But I digress. The inside was flaky, but just too greasy for me: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/swiss-bakery-vancouver?select=6dcL_fKMsxq7OBU2WgWl2w#6dcL_fKMsxq7OBU2WgWl2w While I'm glad I tried it, I don't think I'll be getting it again. Their pretzels and florentines are much better for my tastebuds. But the bakery is still a 4 overall - even if I'm not a fan of their new offering! read more

Came for the Frissants! A cross between a croissant and a donut. They had a pecan maple frissant as well as a 4 cheese. I would definitely recommend the sweet one. The four cheese was interesting but not what I was looking for. read more
Nuba across the road, this amazing bakery...3rd avenue off Main is going to become my weekend hangout if it's not careful! I stepped inside and was immediately reminded of bakeries back home growing up. All different breads, just that home made look and feel to everything... Picked up many breads which were devoured at home (there was a pecan one which they cut up for us and we managed to make it last a week!). This bread has long life, as long as you keep it airtight :) I picked up a fruity granola bar, was dense and yummy! There is some seating inside and out, and the usual choice of hot drinks. Must try the coffee next time! read more

First time i went here it was late in the afternoon and all their Frissants were sold out, the lady told me that it gets sold out pretty fast and they usually have it in the mornings. 2nd time, I went before lunch and they have the Frissants, I got them to go. When i got to try one, i was a bit disappointed. It was soooooo oily, each bite you can feel the oil coming out. I mean its a donut duh but with the consistency of a croissant, it will absorb all the oil. Wonder if they can try and bake it.. BUT the frissant was pretty good, just didnt like the oily part. PRO: - friendly - they serve other items - Frissant was good CON: - Frissant was OILY - I think they only serve 2 kinds of Frissant read more

Considering all the hype, I wasn't able to try their frissant, a combo of a fritter and croissant, even at 2pm, all sold out. But the chocolate bread pudding caught my eye, ever since my 1st foray in SF. While not nearly as deleesh, Swiss Bakery comes close: the 'meat' of it is dead on, just the crust could be burnt more, crispier texture. Not much in the area off Main. St, so it's good place to hang at their communal table. cash/debit only. free parking, that's the extra star. read more
I've recently decided that I want to own a bakery, and looking inside Swiss Bakery, I realized that they are the type of bakery I want to own (in some ways that is. Ideally, it'd be a combination of Cadeaux Bakery and Swiss Bakery). Swiss Bakery has it all in a bakery: loaves of fresh bread that you can buy whole, sliced or get in the form of one of their delicious sounding sandwiches (I mean, brie and pear? COME ON!). They've got cookies and pastries for days, frissants (yeah, yeah, I'll get to it), and even spicy rolls/pretzels and other interesting things. That's the type of bakery I want to own - a one stop spot for everything. You need a breakfast or lunch, maybe a coffee, and you'd like a loaf of bread for dinner that evening? We've got you covered! I loved that about this place. It's busy. It's comfortable. It's approachable. It's reasonably priced. A loaf of bread for $4? Yes. A Frissant for $4? Makes sense to me - those things are labor intensive! And mighty tasty I might add. I ordered one of the vanilla bean ones and boy was that delicious. So delicious I think the calories might not have counted, you know, because. I'll def. be back, but in the mean time, I'll be wishing that I had a Swiss Bakery of my own. read more

I stumbled upon this place while waiting for my girlfriend go into her audition. I had the Turkey Focaccia BLT and the Chocolate Frissant. The BLT was toasted up for me and it was perfect. I'm craving it as I type. Prices are inexpensive. Highly recommended. read more
