50 Best Bakeries in Vancouver

“Paklava is to die for!!!!!!!“

“To Live For is worth driving from another country to visit! I live in the US, but make the drive frequently to enjoy their incredible baked goods, both sweet and savory. It is such a welcoming environment with incredible staff too. Highly recommend if you are anywhere near East Vancouver!“

“Lovely family bakery with personality. This modern bakery sells a variety of baked goods and constantly updates their menu with seasonal items. Call ahead if you're really looking for one specific thing but we are usually satisfied with whatever they have to offer.

Items we often find in-store include focaccia bread, sub sandwiches (variety of meat and cheese), sausage rolls, hotdog bacon bun, apple or raspberry pie, pizza pockets, cookies cookies cookies, banana bread, cinnamon rolls, crusty bread, brownies, chocolate tart, etc. They are creative, delicious and sometimes with an Italian or Asian twist. All developed and created by the wife owner.

Drink offerings are are hit too. I love their hochija and matcha (they use ceremonial grade). And the husband owner of the cafe has a knowledgeable background in espressos.

Atmosphere is casual fun, they have many many baking and cooking books to look at and purchase for $5. They also sell imported fancy olive oil, pasta sauce, and some easy gift ideas etc.

They do catering & events.“

“Finally got to try this place yesterday. It was delicious! My only disappointment was we didn’t get there till late in the day and I would have loved to try so savory pastries. Next time we make the drive into Vancouver this will be our first stop!“

“This place is so great. The staff are all super friendly, the coffee and baked goods are tasty (priced on the higher side, but then it's a small shop), and best of all the staff seems to be quite kind to Downtown Eastside folks—which is something that matters a lot to me (especially for businesses that choose to open here.)“

“Picked up 4 cookies before taking the Rocky Mountaineer train to Banff. They were each out of this world and I wish I could snap my fingers and be right there, any time I wanted. Never had anything like this, anywhere else.“

“My first visit today following recommendations from 2 friends and it was a great experience. Friendly staff and totally delicious bread for my prosciutto and brie sandwich and truly excellent coffee in my cappuccino. Will certainly be visiting again. when i am in he area and all best wishes to the owners and staff for this gem to thrive.“

“They make the best cakes ever ! Also excellent customer service.“

“Absolutely outstanding bakery! Serrano Bakery is a true gem in Vancouver. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the incredible aroma of freshly baked goods and a beautiful display of Greek and European specialties. Everything tastes homemade, authentic, and crafted with care.

The pastries are phenomenal, the breads are fresh and flavorful, and the traditional Greek items brought me straight back to the bakeries of Montreal and Greece. Quality ingredients, generous portions, and consistently excellent taste.

If you’re looking for authentic flavors, warm service, and baked goods done right, Serrano Bakery is an absolute must-visit.“

“I recently purchased a cake and it was the best cake ever! (Lemon Meringue) Guests were so happy about the Dessert. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing place! Highly recommend.“

“Please support my dear childhood friend and her boutique bakery. Located in the building where the Lazy Gourmet used to be..you won’t believe how decadent these pastries are!“

“Worst owner to deal with. She will ignore you and instead of assisting you, calls you indecisive even though you are giving her your business... Honestly, she's the worst at any customer service and doesn't take accountability. Also, the cakes are mediocre at best.“

“They make the best MelonPan!“

“Delicious treat, I especially love the sweet red bean with walnuts, and the vanilla custard ones. They're not too sweet, but just the right amount. Best eaten right away while hot.
The owner is very nice and runs the store solo, but makes everything very quickly, I had to wait 8 minutes to get my order freshly made.“

“I ordered a beef patty with cheese, lettuce, and their house sauce, and it was cooked just right. The patty was juicy and flavorful, and the toppings worked well together. The bun was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything without falling apart. I also tried their fries, and they were crispy and seasoned nicely.“

“Really good flavor but I think cream ratio is a lot more than ideal. I thought it’s a nice balanced one but by the end of eating this, I took off almost 10-15% of cream otherwise I could not finish it with full of happiness.
But I love the chestnuts cream and hazelnuts on top!
I am still looking for the best balance of croissant with cream inside.
But I really love plain croissant here!!!“

“Their pastries are amazing! The Vanilla round Croissant is my fave. Now onto the donuts, don’t let the homemade aesthetic deter you from grabbing one of these on the way by, you will not regret!“

“Very nice staff as well. The borek was amazing !!!“

“I've been going to Bâtard for several years -- my favourite bakery in town and worth the 15 minute drive. Great bread & scones, pastry to die for, and wonderful atmosphere for a lunch. I'm more than a little suspicious by several coordinated reviews which trash the place, particularly as one of the reviews is by an owner of the new bakery which just moved in across the street ... hmmmm ...“

“Best red velvet cake I have EVER had. A must try! Will definitely order again Had a small incident and they went above and beyond to rectify! Excellent customer service“

“I went to Lemonade to try and find a dessert for a friend who is celiac. I was very pleasantly surprise how delicious the cakes were. It turned out that my friend knows this place very well . The triple chocolate cake and lemon slice were both delicious. The service at the counter was friendly and helpful. What a great bakery . We are very lucky to have this in Vancouver . Go there and try them. You will not be disppointed.“

“They take so much care with everything they do and that care shows in how delicious everything is.“

“Ordered a gluten-free Ferrero Rocher cake from Mayito Exquisite for Thanksgiving which was a true delight! It was incredibly moist with a rich hazelnut ganache that elevates every bite. Each slice melts in your mouth, perfectly complemented by crunchy Hazelnut and caramel accents. A must-try for anyone, gluten-free or not!“

“We ordered our wedding cake from here, and it was absolutely delicious and truly unforgettable. Helen was a joy to work with, she is very friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process. When our florist didn’t have extra flowers for the cake, Helen went above and beyond by sourcing beautiful flowers herself, which meant so much to us. The cake was very well priced, and communication and delivery were smooth and seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning for future cakes!“

“Best Pastries of my life!! Homemade baked goods and family owned! Always fresh always yummy 😋“

“A true mom & pop operation! I've loved everything I've tried -- the many kinds of baklava, their Dubai tres leches cake, their cheesecake, tarts... My goodness, what a treat! As a lover of pistachios & pastries, I'm over the moon to have this lovely bakery in the neighborhood.“

“Some of the best baked goods on The Drive. Their Kouign-amann is to die for.“

“Delicious authentic cuisine. My whole family loved it 👍“

“1st time visit, reviews brought me here.
Came on a rainy Saturday afternoon around 2pm, here are my thoughts:
- Cute and cozy bakery
- Service was friendly and very kind
- Gave me great recommendations
- I really enjoyed the cakes and the Baklava is a must try!
*The reviews makes sense, highly recommend*“

“Our neighborhood fav! The bread is something special (so good) coffee is also great. Cozy, friendly vibes. My only personal gripe is that they've stopped making the pumpkin muffins...why?! Please bring them back! (I'll visit way more often). But you still deserve 5 stars for everything else ;)“

“Vegetarian whole wheat buns for only $3.25 and they are huge, filling, and nutritious. Goes perfect with a bit of vinegar too, especially 老陳醋. They allow you to pack with your own container! The queues here can be long, but worth the wait. Delivery service also available.“

“best cake i ever tried (pistachio)“

“The bakery has been around since my adolescence, probably longer. One of my favourite stops when in the hood 💙 Still cash only, but so worth it. I was finally able to bring my children; I knew that once they set foot in the bakery, the fragrant scent of baked goods, they would enjoy it as much as I did. They sure did, they tried the donuts and cookies. One can never go wrong with their coconut cream buns or pineapple buns. I also like to grab a bag of cinnamon rolls or raisin butter tarts for the fam.“

“Excellent taste of freshly baked croissants 🥐 with friendly and great customer service 😇 The famous and delicious Double Baked Almond Croissant usually sold out within just 1-2 hours in the morning oh 😊“

“Can't say enough about Uprising Breads Bakery! We travel across town to eat there at least once a week. Their soups are so good and the desserts are wonderful. Coffee is great, too. Staff is friendly and welcoming.“

“Tout est excellent chez Ça croustille ! Continuez comme ça ❤️“

“Very good small breakfast“

“This place is unique and fun to try. We tried most of their vegetarian options and our favorites are the matcha cheesecake and red bean and cream cheese. We also liked the plain bagel with shiso ume cream cheese, which added tartness to the cream cheese.“

“I’ve bought a too good to go bag twice now. Great value for 6 dollars. The apple cinnamon bun and cinnamon roll was great when heated up (put it in the microwave for a minute, but I’m sure oven works great as well), the lemon cake (?) was okay with a cup of coffee but not my favorite. Would definitely get it again. Staff was friendly as well. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-09“

“I’ve been in here a few times and I am always delighted by their options. Everything is fresh and the range of flavours is amazing (think lemon passion fruit, peanut butter chocolate rice crispy, or rhubarb biscuits!). I popped in here a couple of Sundays ago, and as always the choices were in abundance. I was chatting with one of the staff members and she was super engaged, helping me make choices and saying about how sweet my pup was (who was tied outside). I tried to decide on treats to take home when she frantically told me, “your dog has slipped his leash”.

Here’s the part about the incredible staff. I dashed to the door to grab him so he didn’t get hit by a car and when I opened the door and he darted inside.

The wonderful team member, rather than yell at me, came to help me try to capture my menace who was running around, greeting everyone. After a few laps on a calm Sunday morning, we secured my sweet pest, but without the chance to purchase any goodies. It’s a shame because I can clearly never return due to sheer embarrassment. I’ll always have the memory of the delicious choices and remarkable staff. Thank you to that staff member, you are incredible! I hope you’re in charge.“

“The best panettone in the city! We look forward to it every year. Everything is made with so much love and care. Delicious pastries too.“

“This is a commissary/kitchen/wholesaler not a cafe with dine in options. I ordered some boxes for gifting and they were kind enough to prepare everything for me.

Everyone said the pastries were delicious and even after a few days I just popped it in the air fryer and it still tasted very good.

I will definitely order again for bigger events in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Delicious and cheap Bahn Mi sandwiches!

The baguette bread is flakey, warm, and fresh. They give you a generous amount of ingredients in your sandwich with lots of chicken. I got two sandwiches for only $15 and they accept debit!“

“I'm not from Vancouver, but whenever I go to Granville Island, I make a point to stop by this place. I would recommend any sweets lover to check them out.
-Fantastic service. They are very friendly and happy to make recommendations. They also (very) patiently waited while I took forever to choose what I wanted (sorry about that)
-I love the macarons. So many out there just taste like straight sugar, but these flavours actually live up to their names. With each bite, they all have the airy, slightly crisp texture that melts into gooey goodness.
-Samples. They're very generous with their samples (a whole macaron..!), and honestly this is how I stumbled upon them in the first place.“

“NEW TOWN BAKERY VANCOUVER Consistency is key ( hits the same everytime) The rice noodle with beef and a side of fermented bean chili 🌶️ ..(not super hot) and to add the noodles are not over cooked or over salted and flavour that is indeed incomparable to this savory delight at any other HK STYLE place .. A true wok experience with value,,,,
I highly recommend this dish .. also I leave with the best crueller type (sweet donut) … so many things to try 🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥 I have to add: one of the best industry servers: Elaine is gracious and accommodating and professional to boot“

“One of the best bakery! Kuddos.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 GOD bless your business!♥️🙏🏻“

“We went in for the first time on Saturday and got three different tarts and they were amazing. Will definitely be back to try more delicious treats!!!“

“Real Belgian bakery! Loved the waffles!“

“Open 24hrs. Good service.“
