Saw this cafe on social media and decided to try it. Nice comfy ambiance for an afternoon. the display case looked a bit empty when i arrived. But they had some hot items available. Tried the espresso macchiato and chocolate croissant. i actually ordered the butter croissant but it was out. The espresso macchiato was a bit disppointing. the ratio of the milk turned the espresso macchiato into a cappuccino. The chocolate croissant tasted decent. I also appreciated the thoughtfulness of warming up the croissant. However, the melted chocolate made the croissant somewhat soggy. Overall the pastries looked good, however they are on the pricer side compared to other bakeries in the area... read more

I visited Wren cafe for Nomsmag Cherry blossom festival limited item: What I got: Strawberry Cherry Blossom Sparkling Strawberry jam and cherry blossom tea topped with sparkling water. Sakura Cheesecake Matcha crumb base with sakura cheesecake. Highlight was Strawberry cherry blossom sparkling! Strawberry jam and sparkling water's combination was so good. It was nicely sweet, and very refreshing. Cherry blossom cream form provided creamy texture, it surprisingly paired so well. Very delicious drink. Sakura cheese cake was just ok. Matcha crumb base was crunchy and tasted good, but, cheese cake layer felt more like mousse cake, cheese flavor and texture were weak. I prefer a bit more richer, more cheesecake texture. Presentation was very pretty. I am always impressed by their fruits mousse cake, the design really look like real fruits, such as apple or lemon. I believe these cakes are their signature. I would like to try them next time read more

Wren Cafe - Salmon Eggs Benedict with garden salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

"tiktok made me do it," proof that i can be easily influenced. these viral fruits have been all over my fyp, the original in paris by cedric grolet le meurice, shaping mousse and sponge cake into realistic fruits. and just like that, i gave in and made my way to yaletown. this woman owned café, run by cordon bleu trained chefs emma and rachel, is all about passion and hard work. emma was behind the counter, super friendly and patient, she even introduced her dad, brother, and business partner rachel. it felt warm, family run, but with legit culinary chops behind it. i decided on the raspberry and the lemon. i was told the structure is similar, with the fruit flavor being the main difference, they also offer orange, pear, peach, and lemon. the raspberry ($10.75) hit the sweet spot, raspberry mousse, white chocolate ganache, raspberry jam, and coconut sponge, all working together in a dessert that looked as good as it tasted. the lemon ($11.75) was more of an acquired taste, slightly bitter, more complex, but still really impressive in how it was put together. labour intensive, crunchy thin white chocolate exterior, soft centre, not too sweet, and visually appealing, a fun dessert to bring to any get together. overall, it's whimsical, polished, very photogenic, and surprisingly refined for something born of a viral trend. i may have to come back to try the other fruits, apparently they change seasonally. oh, and they serve brunch too. read more

A cute cafe in Yaletown, Wren Cafe is a newly opened gem. They have a wide variety of menu items, ranging from pastries to pastas. I was searching for a custom birthday cake and Rachel was very helpful with my order. After a brief phone call of my request, I was given a quote that same day. I believe you can also message them on Instagram to order. I ordered a 6" blueberry cheesecake and it was fantastic. I loved how aesthetic the cake was, the overall textures of the cheesecake, and best of all, it wasn't too sweet! The lemon flavours in the cheesecake really helped balance the overall sweetness. Would definitely return to try their other aesthetic desserts or order another custom cake! read more

Wren Cafe - 6" Blueberry cheesecake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A return visit was a must after craving the pasta I first tried at a recent Yelp event--and I'm so glad I came back! We ordered the Caramelized Onion & Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta and the Creamy Mushroom Pasta, both just as delicious as I remembered. For dessert, we tried The Apple and The Lemon, and wow--these are something special! The shape, the texture, and the flavors inside are heavenly. I personally loved The Apple, while my husband preferred The Lemon. I also spotted on Instagram that they're releasing a Marshmallow dessert, so you know I'll be back to try that one! The ambiance is clean and cozy, with plenty of tables to choose from, making it a great spot to dine in or take out. Their drink menu is also really nice, adding to the experience. Service was super friendly, and I even got to see one of the owners working on the lemon pastries. She was so kind, answering my questions and filling me in on how they're made. A lot of work and love goes into these, and hearing their story made me enjoy them even more. Absolutely love their creations and the fact that they offer pasta for lunch--such a win! read more

Nice spot for hanging out with comfortable seats. Beware the building toilets though since they have the weakest flush ever. Nice blueberry soda that I had and while the desserts look wonderful and which I'll have to return for, was a little wary of the dairy! There was one I might have tried since it had coconut cream but it was too close to dinner time. Had a truffle sample which was delicious. Cakey on the inside and that was marvelous. read more

Price point: $$ ($6-25 per person) Service: attentive and great! They serve brunch here from 11 to 3 PM.but if you don't want a full on breakfast, they also have lunch and just pastries, cakes, sweets available ! Assortment of drinks that anyone can enjoy! I love how things are clearly made in-house with the open front bakery and cafe concept. You can see that they are creating these pastries there. I really appreciate the potatoes on the eggs Benedict, but I do think that the meat selection was just too salty for me ? I think this might just be a personal preference. my experience was good. I enjoyed the barbeque chicken flatbread, and the Matcha latte is very green! If I could, I think I would go back to try another pasta because it was cooked perfectly Al Dante. read more

We hadn't been out for brunch in a while, and finding a spot in Yaletown that serves brunch every day was a challenge. That's why Wren Cafe immediately caught our attention! Their menu has a unique variety, from open sandwiches and pasta to flatbreads. What We Tried: * Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon and Prosciutto 必食 * Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine with Chicken * Open Sandwich Trio (we picked Salmon Rillette, Prosciutto Pear, and Pulled Pork Coleslaw) 好味 * Blueberry Cheesecake * The Raspberry (a dessert) * Latte * Blueberry Soda * Sea Salt Pineapple Soda Every dish was a hit, but if we had to choose favourites, it would be the Eggs Benedict and the Open Sandwich Trio. The Eggs Benedict were absolutely perfect--soft, poached eggs paired with both smoked salmon and prosciutto. Every bite was satisfying and so flavorful. The Open Sandwich Trio stole the show with its elegant presentation on a marble stone. Our picks -- Pulled Pork Coleslaw, Egg Salad with Semi-Dried Tomatoes, and Smoked Salmon with Cucumber Ribbons -- were all simple yet incredibly delicious. The service was just as impressive as the food. The experience felt upscale, like dining in a restaurant, even though it's a cozy cafe. Amazing food, warm service, and an unbeatable vibe. We highly recommend Wren Cafe to anyone in Yaletown looking for a brunch spot! Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Eatery Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 per person Presentation: 3/5 Parking: Paid street parking Tips: * Save room for sweet treats. * Best place for brunch or a coffee date. * Great to pair your meal with their refreshing sodas or lattes. * Plan your visit and enjoy a relaxed dining experience. Would I Return: Yes ‍ read more

During a recent visit to Yaletown, I came across a bouquet of flowers outside this newly renovated little cafe called Wren so of course I popped in to check it out! It just happens to be their soft opening today! As an introductory offer if you buy five of their freshly made in house desserts you get one free! The three gals for which the cafe is named, graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and are off to a great start. I ordered: Lemon blueberry tart surprisingly full with blueberries and a thin lemon curd on top with more blueberries and meringue on a pastry crust. Not overly sweet and super fresh! Lemon meringue tart- excellent balance of tartness and sweetness and you can taste the fresh lemon peel. Tiramisu- nice strong espresso syrup, perfect ratio of moist sponge cake and mascarpone. Sooo good! Chocolate bomb- to die for if you're a chocolate lover. Soft super rich chocolate mousse is pudding like and melts in your mouth. Good quality chocolate you can taste the difference! Fruit tart - a classic! Tropical cake- light sponge with a mango coconut custard, is fruity and moist But also ordered a lichee black tea soda which is served with a nice thin-slice of dried orange, which is edible too. Very refreshing. I was very impressed by the quality of their pastries and their chocolate filled croissant is light, flaky and crisp! I'll be back to try their brunch options! Only just opened so I hope Vancouverites can help these three young people thrive! read more

First thing I noticed upon entering Wren was how hot, stuffy it was with aroma of B.O., unpleasant and thank goodness for nasal fatigue! We ordered a few coffees, a pastry and croissant sandwich. They were lackluster at best. The smoked salmon croissant sandwich was very small and overpriced. read more

This lovely place represents a small business at its best: very welcoming and chatty co-owners, cooks by trade who serve you themselves. Chef Patric has a background in luxury hospitality, so desserts look Instagrammable and taste light. They are not too sugary or too fatty. They drop down well even after a bountiful meat dinner. Keep it up this way! I'd recommend a green pair or orange cake. read more

I drive 40 min just to get to this place cuz I saw they instagram page.Not like it at all, barely any of the desserts on display, and the two that I tried were horrible(lemon, and raspberry) not good experience at all. Plus, it was overpriced. read more

Had an amazing brunch experience at Wren. Excellent food and service. Tried the Francophone Fettuccine and Sandwich Trio. Presentation was nice too! Saved stomach for some pastries. We got the lemon and the blueberry cheesecake. Lemon was perfectly balanced not too sweet or sour. Blueberry cheesecake was very creamy and not too heavy. Definitely one of the best I've tried. The owners came to check on us and told us a bit about their story. Both owners are Le Cordon Bleu trained chefs. Highly recommend this place. read more
