    This place is amazing!!! Nestled in the far back corner of the market, you have to either be ready to wander to the depths or be ready to efficiently elbow your way straight there but it's so worth it. All their "pies" look delish & we tried the clam chowder pie and it was sooooo good!!! The puff pastry had an amazing flavor and the chowder was fantastic. Seating is first come inside (or there's outside too). So so yummy!!

    ....some of their Xmas creations....

    Service was quick and attentive from the counter. Pie crust was flaky and crispy, stew was nicely cooked through,rich and smelled beefy. Mocha was alright. On par with a Starbucks mocha. Total was 26.00 for both items A bit on the pricier side but you are paying for the Granville island vibe and scenery....

    Definitely my favorite bite of the day at Granville Public Market! It's located closest to the entrance by the Aquabus so you can have a great view of the water with your choice of a sweet or savory pie (why not both?) I ordered the clam chowder pot pie ($17.64 CAD) which were selling like hot cakes. In fact the person in front of me ordered the last one on display, so I had to wait for another fresh batch out the oven, which only took about 5-10 minutes. The clam chowder was wonderful, creamy with a distinct oceanic savoriness and chock full of baby clams and potatoes. I have to admit, this was one of the best clam chowders I've ever had, and I've had many from Neptune Oyster to Pike Place Chowder. The golden-brown layer of puff pastry on top was flaky perfection and the cherry on top. I'd really like to return to try their other pot pies, and perhaps a sweet one as well (why not?).

    You must order the clam chowder pot pie! Tasty creamy chowder with clams in every bite under a flaky and crispy pastry crust. A winner!

    Cool

    This place is smoking!! It's so smoking that the compost spoon melted/bent a bit when put in the steaming salmon chowder. It's all good. That's why they provide metal spoons! How many metal spoons they got!! Well it's def environmentally friendly. Why this place only got 3.5 stars? Are people complaining about the bread bowl? Are their other warez not up to stuff? For a 'cafe', it's not bad. In fact it's quite good. Tho this review is mostly for the pies. So without further ado... We also got the traditional clam chowder. Everything was quite yummy! Tho it's not served in a bread bowl yet the fluffy pastry on top is legit! Or lit. Or groovy. Whatever generational term you wanna use, it don't matter. It hands down beat the traditional sourdough bread bowl. Also this place might be better than that other place at Pikes Place over in the states. Yah I said it. Come at me bro!! I think the price is worth it. The ambiance/vibe is packing! The salmon chowder sells out quick so make sure you get yours! Maybe even pay ahead of time so that you would get yours when it comes out. I would definitely go back. And it's got more seating than the one in the states. Also they got lemon meringue pies! And other stuff too. It ain't just a one trick pony! Solid A+

    I've had some great food visiting Vancouver but after eating this I've officially declared it a food city! Had the delicious chicken pot pie- it was perfect. Crust was flaky and soft but never soggy. The soup was the perfect soup temperature that you could mathematically assign; like a perfect bath but in your mouth. The chicken pieces were full and tender. If I could have canceled my dinner reservation in 90 minutes- I would have gotten a second one. I don't regret the first.

    Solid clam chowder. Soup was balanced, not too rich. Potatoes and clams were properly cooked inside. Pastry top was crispy, flaky, and soft. No issues with service. Decent amount of seating with a nice view of the harbor.

    Stopped by Granville Island for the first time and this was the first spot I checked out. Really cute location with seating with a gorgeous view of the water and the aqua buses. Even at 4pm on a Saturday, the Public Market was pretty packed. No line at this place though. The clam chowder was different than what I'm used to but not bad by any means. Lots of clam meat, subtle smokiness to the chowder, flaky puff pastry pie shell. I prefer my chowder thicker and brinier. It came out lukewarm and thin. Butter tart was just served as-is off the shelf. It might get another star from me if both were piping hot. 3/5 average spot. Probably better food options around the market.

    Salmon chowder

    One of the more interesting stands inside the Granville Island Public Market because they sell chowder pot pies with puff pastry on top! We got the salmon chowder and I found it a bit too salty since they use smoked salmon. If I'm ever back I'll probably get the clam chowder instead. Loved breaking the puff pastry into the chowder and forming that delicious combination of flavors! It's a heavy dish so highly recommend sharing with others. Price is ok given the taste, big portions, and ingenuity.

    Clam chowder is thinner than normal, but filled with flavor. The breading on top is flakes and firm enough that ot doesn't get soggy when dipping. Be carefull, they serve the chowder inappropriately too hot. My wife literally had burn marks on her lips when trying the first bite. It takes minutes to cool down because the cups are kept in some oven for long periods of time. Located in the marketplace so find seating anywhere you can.

    Chicken pot pie
    Sunny M.

    Chicken pot pie is one of my fav food. The pastry on top elevated the dish quite nicely! Loved the soupy chicken pot pie. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Side note: friend ordered the clam chowder pastry one and we both agreed that chicken pot pie was the winner.

    Salmon chowder Chicken pot pie?

    We are pretty mind blowned with how good this was! As tourist we were told to try this place when visiting Vancouver. It is located right in the market. I love the different choices of pies they have. It being baked in a mug was so eye pleasing. The salmon chowder was sooooo fricking bomb. I'm not even being dramatic, it was probably my favorite chowder I've ever eaten (and we're from WA)... from the puff pastry on the top to the thickness and creaminess of the chowder. I love that there was good size chunks of salmon in there. My bf got the chicken pot pie but I think she accidentally gave us the clam chowder. We didn't notice it until the last two bites, when we saw the clams in it. We were still really satisfied with it. The only complaints we have is that it looks like there's going to be a lot of chowder, but you break past the pastry and it has the smallest amount... for the price you pay I think they should fill the chowder much more. Also the mix up of chowders.

    Chicken pot pie was delicious and piping hot! The crust was crumbly on top and fought inside. Need a bit more veggies and there was a lot of slurry but overall quite good. Would order again next time I'm here.

I was meeting a friend here yesterday who's visiting from California, and when deciding on a meeting place, we realized a bunch of the Gastown coffee roaster places were closed on Sunday, so I mentioned Breka , knowing it was opened 24/7. (LOVE this!). Plus, this site is close to Waterfront Station, and my friend had a busy day planned, taking the Seabus to N.Van and doing a lot of sightseeing. So this Breka was perfect. I was there early at 10 am-ish, and from the outset, I was impressed: exposed brick wall, long counter and display case, fully stocked with the most beautiful pastries and tarts and cakes, and lovely looking sandwiches, too....Just lovely. I ordered a tea from the guy taking the orders. At the check-out, the woman working the cashier was the most unfriendly, aloof person I have ever encountered at a Breka. She was downright dour. Never looked up, never smiled, said I owed X for the tea I ordered, gave me a receipt and said I was "number 3", no "thank you" (despite my saying thanks!), nothing. She looked really unhappy and bothered to be there. (I sat at a nearby table, waiting for my number to be called. I saw her interactions with all the people behind me - and there were quite a few, as it got suddenly busy in the cafe. She was cold and unfriendly to everyone in line as she rang them all up. These are mostly tourists! Why have a dour, borderline-hostile woman at the check-out counter of a busy cafe in a touristy part of our city? I just don't get it). Anyhow, I waited 10 minutes to hear my number called, but I never heard it. I walked up to the take-out area and there was my tea, on a receipt that said "number 3". Did they call out my number? I honestly don't know. I was seated at a table a few feet from the area and listening for my number and I didn't hear it called. I was not impressed with this set-up. Not at all. My friend arrived and got a chocolate concoction which looked amazing, and he loved it, so there's that. I still love Brekas but I probably won't return to this site. Between the cold experience at the cash and the prolonged waiting for my order (a cup of tea!), and not being sure if my order number was ever called, it just all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
