My favorite season has arrived - Vancouver croissant crawl festival! I visited TERA Bread in Granville island. What I got: Maple Pecan Twist Croissant buttery croissant dough twisted around a sweet maple pecan filling with toasted pecan pieces, finished with a glossy maple glaze.  Buttery, nutty and sweet. In Granville island, outside of public market, I wanted to take photo of this croissants with view, when I was taking photo, seagulls attacked me and grabbed my croissant and left. She was so fast and quick. I froze, other people around me froze, and literally no words... Then, I was so upset and went back to shop and get another one. Staff was so kind, she gave me discount. I really appreciated that. So, for second one, I took photo inside of car. Croissant itself was very good! Maple glaze and toasted pecan paired so well and dough was nicely crispy. Very good item!!No wonder seagulls wanted to steal this read more

Spacious seating area with lots of daylight from the high ceiling windows. I love Terra bread especially their black olive bread. I feel so sad they choose green olive bread over the black olive bread and now black olive is no longer available. We visit the shop today hoping to get the fig and anise bread but apparently it's seasonal so they don't have it today neither. Overall a solid bread maker with good sour dough based bread. Latte is normal. read more

Terra Breads is a popular bakery in Granville Island Market. The moment I set my eyes on the blueberry bread, I knew I had to try it. It is a very unique bread that doesn't skimp on the blueberries. I really enjoyed the texture of the bread combined with the sweetness of the berries. read more

Loved the blueberry bread (light and subtly sweet) and sourdough! Would definitely recommend grabbing a few items and then sitting outside to enjoy these freshly baked goods with the ocean breeze. There are also shops where you can buy cheese next door. Next time I will be sure to try the walnut sourdough. Staff were very friendly. read more

We had a little time to kill before our whale watching tour so we stepped into the Granville Public Market for a quick bite. My wife usually gets seasick so we figured some bread would be a good idea. I checked on Yelp and this place was highly rated so we picked up a ham and cheese croissant and a brioche roll. And then we took them outside to take these pics to capture the wonderful view as well as the food. Unfortunately, the view was much better than the food. I have had some really good ham and cheese croissants and this was not one of them. I think a good croissant should be flaky and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. These may have been from the day before because they were not flaky on the outside or fluffy on the inside. The ham and cheese were also not memorably flavorful. The brioche was pretty good, which is why I gave 3 stars. read more

best hot cross buns I've ever had. Worse scones I've ever had. Blueberry bread is good. Prices are high. Staff is not friendly.

This is a limited review as I've tried only one item here - the Blueberry Bread with white chocolate - yum, yum!! Loaded with blueberries, the friendly staff told me it's one of their best sellers. With a bit of white chocolate also, I thought the Can$4.50 price is a good bargain. I sure couldn't find anything of this quality at this price where I live. This location is inside the Marketplace building amongst the many structures within the Granville Island complex. Though there are at least 3 other bakeries in the same building, this place seems to be holding up well against the others. I'm looking forward to trying more items. read more

I like Terra Breads cheese loaf and I get if from Safeway stores. On some instances they fail to deliver and the reasons are very strange and suspicious. This morning I went to the Burnaby Heights Safeway and usually they have 2, sometimes more. This time there was only 1 and a store employee said that is all they could do because of the snow. Really? The roads were clear so how could no snow disrupt bread production. WTF?! The employee was sarcastic and I told her Terra Breads is like what. They get rather weird at times . On my way home, I checked Whole Foods Burnaby and they had three loaves. So how come a significant grocery store like Safeway gets one loaf and another grocery in the same area gets 3? This is the kind of problems I have had with Terra Breads and complaints to head office gets no satisfying response. read more

The breads on display just look so good, and it's hard to pick just a few! The employee is super nice and efficient. I ended up getting a potato dill focaccia and a grape bread. The breads all tasted flavorful and fresh. The stand is hard to miss on Granville island. There were a bunch of baguettes, savory breads, and sweet breads. I had eaten one and saved the other for later, and I wished I had gotten more. Till next time! This is definitely a stop I'll be coming back for. read more

Food: Super yummy croissant! I loved the almond filling inside, The only thing was that it was cold, and I can imagine it tasting 100x better if it was fresh out of the oven! The other pastries look so bomb as well so I cant wait to try their other ones. Environment: at a food court in Granville island market Portion: around $6? Pretty big and filling croissant I would say read more

I really, REALLY enjoyed this place. I got the Toasted Pecan Cinnamon Bun and the Tomato Pesto Focaccia. The use of the brioche bun for the cinnamon bun really elevated the entire sweet and it was incredibly soft and delicious. I opted to have cream cheese icing on top and I'm glad I did. It was a nice little addition and the combination of the bun and the topping never felt overly sweet and I devoured it in only a few minutes. Also there are pecan baked into the bun, not just on top! This was the first time I tried a Focaccia and I was impressed with how flavorful it was. The outer crust that didn't have any topping was harder and had a strong crunch but was still good, but boy, once I got I to the meat of it, it was phenomenal. The juicy tomatoes splashed in my mouth as the strong pesto complimented the bread and tomatoes for a perfect bite each time. As much as I enjoyed the cinnamon bun, I'd probably skip it next time I come here but definitely get the tomato pesto focaccia. But check their website as certain focaccias are only available on certain days! read more

These people sure know how to make a decent croissant. So much better than those crappy ones you get at the grocery store. The breads I got there were also divine. Bonus: They slice on request. If I lived nearby I'd be a frequent flyer and much fatter. read more

I decided to try this bakery because there was a long line. I had the almond croissant and the parmesan chive scone. The almond scone was not as flaky as I had hoped. The filling was too sweet for my liking. I liked the parmesan chive scone more. It was light and not too savory. I couldn't taste the chive so it tasted like a parmesan scone. read more

If you are watching your carb intake, avoid. If your weakness is yeast breads, sweet buns made with figs and an assortment of ingredients, this is your place.

The double baked almond croissant! That's the only thing we tried and we walked around to get one more to bring back to the hotel :p It was that good! No line around 10:30am and it's $5.25 CAD but I love almond croissants and I thought this was worth it :) read more

There are a number of notable bakeries on Granville Island including Siegel's Bagels and Lee's Donuts. However when it comes to artisan bread, Terra Breads is the place to go. Terra Breads is located inside Granville Island Public Market. It can be found on the food court side of the complex on the left. Terra is part of a chain, but this location doesn't have a café. Just breads and pastries. One of the reasons for visiting Granville Island on my trips to Vancouver is to pick up a slice of the excellent pate at Oyama Sausage. Nothing goes better with pate than bread, so I visited Terra in search of some. They have many varieties to choose from. I decided to go with the standard demi-baguette. The pastry selection here is also wonderful so I couldn't resist getting one of the blueberry bread pastries. What I noticed about the baguette is that the loaf keeps its softness well, unlike most baguettes that tend to get stale after a day or two. Even after three or four days, I was surprised by its longevity. The bread itself is quite tasty. I would recommend it if you are using it to make a sandwich or eating it with some charcuterie. The blueberry bread was also a bit of a surprise. I wouldn't characterize it as a complete pastry. It is more of a hybrid between bread and pastry. The chewiness reminds you of the bread, but the blueberry topping and sweet ingredients are of a pastry. If you are looking for an offering that is unique, the blueberry bread fits that bill. When it comes to artisan bread on Granville Island, Terra Breads is the place to go bar none. read more

Scones are usually not my favorite kind of baked goods. The ones from Terra Breads are an exception. We walked by their place at Granville Island Public Market, and everything in their display looked great. Being that I already had my hands full with all the food we had already purchased, I was not going to buy anything here. Fortunately, our Aunt wanted their scones. Do not recall the flavors, but we were fans!! Tasted delicious! Try them for yourself folks. read more

Really nice customer service! I mentioned that I'm lactose intolerant and the cashier literally pulled out a binder of all the ingredients in the items and informed me which ones were dairy free. I really wanted to try the blueberry bread but it has white chocolate and milk, so I instead tried the fig & ginger scone (all scones are dairy free). I was also tempted by their grape bread, which is their only vegan option. The fig and ginger scone was great, with sizable chunks of dried fig! read more

Their breads are very good. I tried their baguette and sourdough. Both were flavorful, soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside. I also treated myself to their almond croissant. It was probably the best almond croissant I'd ever had. The croissant was so flaky and buttery. It was not overly sweet and the almond flavor was very prominent which I loved. You may think they are a little pricey but after you taste their breads and baked goods you'll understand why because you can taste the quality of their ingredients. If you are ever visiting Granville Island Market, make sure to check this place out. read more

If I ever become allergic to bread, I would have to hold a funeral for the part of me that died a little inside. I remember one of my friends who was so insistant that I pick up bread from Terra Breads for a party. When I couldn't get off work in time, she told me she would take care of it and drove from Coquitlam to Granville Island. I thought at the time, are you serious? She made me put it in the oven to warm it up too. Come on, girl! Let's just eat, I'm hungry! However, when I first bit into that gorgeous crust and chewy middle, I was hooked. My favorite are the sourdough, green or black olive bread, Italian cheese and the Rosemary with olive oil bread. read more

One item, Blueberry Bread. Blueberry Bread is probably the most delicious pastry I have ever had in my life! I don't live in Vancouver anymore, as I'm currently in New Orleans, and I have searched and searched and searched for something similar. No luck... Sometimes, La Boulangerie has a blueberry danish which is very tasty as well, but it's not the same, and they only make it at random times. I dream about you Blueberry Bread, I think about you every day, and I think about how delicious and fantastic you are as I bite into you. I try to come here every time I'm back home in Vancouver. Other than their Blueberry Bread, you must try all their other wares, as they are also top knotch! Did I mention that they also have fantastic friendly upbeat service? They're also moving their butts as fast as they can as you can always expect a line up here! read more

We took a criuse ship up to visit Vancouver last weekend and took a trolley ride to tour Stanley Park, then went cross the river by a short ferry to visit this bakery in a public market similar to the Pike Place in Seattle.

Picking up a loaf of artisan bread is an easy way to add a touch of class to any meal. The bread from this bakery, located in the food court area of Granville Island's Public Market, is fresh and made with some creative ingredients. The rosemary and the olive breads are my favourites. The staff is helpful and I love it when they offer to slice the loaf for you. It always comes as a nice surprise, since I usually forget to ask. But they have this cool machine that cuts the loaf into perfectly spaced slices in no time flat. It makes it that much easier if you're serving bread to guests at a get-together. Their Pecan Fruit Crisps are also delicious. They are toasted thin slices of pecan fruit loaves and a super-chic take on the cracker. They are a huge hit with soft, spreadable cheeses. read more

Still the best bread in the city. All of their breads have a delicious crunchy crust on the outside and are soft and pillowy on the inside thanks to the stone-hearth oven they bake the breads in. I always get the cheese bread. Can't resist. Great value for your money. 1 loaf of cheese bread, 2 mini focaccias (try the potato & dill!), a caramel pecan cinnamon bun and an oatmeal raisin cookie came to about $17. read more

Love, love, love the blueberry bread here. It's dense, but not dead, if you catch my drift. The texture is chewy but not tough. Overall sweetness is just right. Another bread worth getting is the green olive loaf. It's crusty but the inside is pillowy soft and studded with juicy olives. Prices are reasonable, you get what you pay for. read more
