Update since my last visit. Love this bakery and cafe. They have a good selection of drinks, bakery items, and sandwiches. Can get busy and some wait for your order - it's a popular place. Love their earl grey and pistachio donuts. These are flavors that aren't common at other places. Big plus is that this location is 24 hours! Was across the street from our hotel, so was very convenient whenever we needed a snack or small bite. read more

So glad we came when we did because this place gets very busy! Food and drinks were excellent. I ordered a cappuccino and it wasn't a traditional one, but it was still good. Tried the pistachio donut which was amazing and fluffy. We also got the steak and cheese panini and a French toast sandwich. Personally, due to the cheese and ham being very limited in the French toast sandwich; the sweetness was overpowering. The steak and cheese panini was delicious but I would prefer that it was warmer on inside. read more

Breka is always a hit. I enjoy their sweets (cheesecake, tiramisu, matcha cream puffs). Great savoury items as well! I do wish this location would bring back the spicy chicken and bacon panini. They accept online orders for pickup now which is convenient considering there is always a lineup. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop when visiting the beautiful city. The food was good and the staff was fast.

During our visit to Vancouver, we came here 3 times. The pastries and drinks were very delicious but the caprese and steak Paninis were nothing special. Quick and efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our almond croissants, chocolate almond croissants, tiramisu and hazelnut donut and lattes & iced latte. Tables and seatings are limited but people were kind enough to give up their seats. read more

Yes for the good food ! The service was mediocre for sure . We came here a couple of times as it was near our hotel. Incredible array of sweet and savory foods and breads. Busy open 24 hrs coffee shop. Was bustling all the time it seemed ! We got croissants, sandwiches and coffee from here and I asked for my croissant to be heated up and then they proceeded to forgot to bag it and we left without it. Check your goods before you leave !!! Coffee was good and the sandwiches were nice and fresh. I'd use it as a quick place to grab and go . Not the friendly atmosphere!! read more

My newfound Canadian obsession -- that's not Tim Hortons -- is officially Breka Bakery. If only the U.S. had bakeries this good (and coffee this cheap), I'd have zero complaints. We stopped by on our first day exploring Vancouver, and Breka being open 24/7 is already a win. We grabbed a mix of drinks and pastries to share. - Chocolate-Dipped Almond Croissant -- thin chocolate shell that added a unique texture - Cheddar & Chive Scone -- moist, not dry like most scones; loved the cheesy top and chives baked into the dough - Mango Coconut Mousse -- refreshing and clean-tasting, though a bit sweet for an Asian palate - Apple Strudel -- classic and simple; powdered sugar + big apple chunks - Almond Croissant -- super flaky with plenty of marzipan filling - Cretzel Ham & Cheese Melt -- croissant-meets-pretzel fusion; panini-pressed perfectly with melty cheese and ham - Steak & Cheese Panini -- solid; chipotle mayo and green peppers gave it a nice kick - Chai Latte -- light and well-balanced - Hot Latte -- creamy with the perfect coffee punch - Bienenstich (Honorable Mention) -- I wanted this so badly! It's a German classic with a crunchy honey-almond top and creamy vanilla filling sandwiched between two yeast cake layers. They only sell it whole, but an entire cake is just $16.50 CAD ($11.70 USD!) -- an unreal steal Breka bakes everything fresh daily, and you can taste it. This location was popping on a Saturday morning. Plenty of seating, though we snagged one of the last tables for four. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. If I lived in downtown Vancouver, Breka would have my money every weekend. read more

Fantastic bakery! Hot beverages, breakfast sandwich, almond/chocolate croissant and earl grey puff pastry. All so very delicious!!

What an amazing place. Food was incredible. I had the beef and cheese sandwich. Very flavorful. My wife had the turkey and motzerella. She thought this may have been the best sandwich she ever had. I also bought an Apple fritter. Big surprise, not greasy just full of flavor. I also bought two muffins for the morning. Equally delicious. read more

Breka breka. So nice that it's open all day and all night. The convenience of having a place to go to that's affordable & bustling with people at all hours. Small shop but often easy to find seating. The workers are all usually very nice. The pastries are sometimes a bit sweeter than I'd like but I'm sure it's perfect sweetness for most people. I have tried their croissants & apple pastry (both good) but I enjoy the breakfast cookies as they seem "healthier" than some of the other sweets. Everything is very affordable. read more

Unfortunately we moved offices just across the street from this Breka location. I wish I could I could say I hate Breka however I have been going to the Fraser location for years and I never had any issues... so I thought this location would be the same... Nope! Not even close. The worst staff and customer experience ever. Food is ok. For me it's always the crappy service and the rude staff. Rather pay more at a small respectable coffee shop up the road which are owned by the sweetest elderly couple than to ever go back to this sh**hole. Sorry not sorry read more

Quick stop close to BNB. It was later in the day and we wanted a caffeine free drink and my husband had a lavender latte and I had a matcha latte. I am slightly obsessed with Matcha lattes. We got an apple fritter to hold us over until dinner. It was fresh and filled with large pieces of apple. read more

I haven't been to this Breka in ages. Came here with a friend and we picked a cake to share. The cake was very delicious. The place is busy but there were lots of seats and tables available. One of the things that I really like about Breka is their operating hours. Decor of the place very standard. Nothing fancy looking. Their prices are a bit cheaper than other bakery. Most importantly, all their pastries and cakes are made on the day. So everything is super fresh. read more

I can't explain how much I wish this was where I lived. I had to visit multiple times during my visit to Vancouver. Premium sandwiches at such an affordable price and all locations are open 24/7! My favorite sandwiches were the cretzel ham & cheese and the chicken salad sandwich. They are usually always busy, but the line goes very quickly and the food has always been delicious! There is a seating area, but it's mainly occupied by the line and other foot traffic. I would go several times a week if it were accessible. read more

Love that this bakery/cafe is open 24 hours!! I came here last night to pick up some pastries for the next day and tried the London fog donut, matcha creme puff, and lychee raspberry eclair. They were all so delicious! The London fog donut was soft and the frosting was sweet and had the strong tea flavor; the matcha creme puff has matcha flavored cream inside and the frosting was perfect; and the lychee raspberry eclair had a light and sweet lychee cream filling with a tangy raspberry frosting on top! I enjoyed them all and will be trying their drinks and other baked goods soon! read more

The service is quick and the place is open 24hrs read more

A local told us that people trek to Breka from all over for both the food and the opening hours. We decided to make a stop in on our way out from Vancouver. The line was somewhat long but well-organized. Their selection is expansive and I was excited to see sausage rolls like the ones I used to eat in Australia. I really wanted to order that plus a breakfast sandwich but it was going to be a 15-20 minute wait for them to be heated, which we weren't willing to do. Instead we got a couple of plain croissants which were not very good, an almond/chocolate croissant which my bf said was excellent, and a pistachio donut which was alright. Not sure I believe all of the hype but could also be because I couldn't get the items I wanted. read more

We stopped by this bakery two mornings in a row, it's a simple unassuming place and it quickly became one of our favorite spots near the hotel. They have a huge variety of pastries along with plenty of warm options.. perfect if you want something hearty for example the spinach & artichoke pocket, the breakfast croissant etc. It can get pretty packed, so I can't say there's a "good" time to go. Our first morning, not even a weekend day, the line was very long but moved surprisingly quickly. Today, there was only one person ahead of us, but by the time we picked up our order, the line was already to the door. Either way, it's worth the wait. If you're in the area, definitely give it a try. The oat milk chai was one of my favorites, a bit on the sweeter side, but it absolutely made our mornings read more

Stumbled upon this little bakery after a 6 mile stroll along the Stanley Park Seawall. It was pretty tiny on the inside with a short line that moved pretty quickly, almost too quickly for me to decide which of the dozens of beautiful cakes and pastries to get. Went for the Matcha Cream Puff and was shocked by how much cream filling oozed out when I cut into it. A definite plus when the cream puff isn't all puff and no cream. I could taste the bitterness of the matcha in the filling and it wasn't too sweet, which balanced out the sweetness of the matcha/chocolate shell on top. The cake crossed the border back to Washington with me and held up well in a cooler. I should have guessed, given its name, that it would be tart, but I was still surprised by how tart (and somewhat bitter) it was. I feel like I didn't enjoy it as much as I wish I had. More sponge at the bottom would have been nice to offset all the creaminess. The cake was so beautifully constructed though, and I definitely want to try more of their treats the next time I visit! read more

I only tried the pastries, but I am so, so, so jealous that Vancouver gets to have this adorable bakery with quality food open literally 24/7. I'm a total night owl and I would be here constantly. I went around 11:30 PM on a Saturday and there was a consistent line at the counter, though it moved very quickly. There were always a couple empty tables and plenty of folks doing work or catching up with friends. Chocolate Eclair (3.5/5): The chocolate shell was a little too thick and the choux was inevitably a bit soggy, but it held up decently well considering they were pre-filled and left in the pastry display. Blackberry and Lime Mousse (4.25/5): Fantastic texture and I really enjoyed how the tartness of the lime cut through the sweetness. Tiramisu (4/5): A little too sweet and way, way too much cocoa powder on the top. I liked how creamy it was, but FYI it was a lot less lady finger / cake and more cream depending on your preference. Banoffee Tart (4/5): The pastry crust was a little thick, but super buttery. Great combination of caramel, banana, and coffee, was just a little messy to eat as I really can't imagine eating this with a fork. read more

The place seems to always be packed every time we walked by, so I thought I'd try this place out for a late dinner since it's conveniently located near my hotel. Having not too much of an expectation, I was pleasantly surprised with how good the turkey provolone sandwich is (make sure you have the staff warm it up). As for the cheesecake and earl grey cream puff, both were a bit too sweet for my liking, but still not bad. I would come back again! read more

Wonderful wonderful bakery. I love the tomato and olive loaf. The donuts are delicious - especially the Boston cream and the chocolate croissants with pastry topping were also fantastic. Best of all (imo) were the sausage rolls! Service was great and the place is crowded but the line moves quickly. If you eat in the restaurant expect a crowded coffee shop vibe. read more

This Breka Bakery was only a couple blocks from where we were staying in Vancouver. It was always packed when we were there, but the queue moved fast enough. Seating room was a little tight, so we opted for take away. Our choices were the scones (with chocolate accents), a lemon poppy seed muffin, and what I would call a small breakfast cake. All were well priced and delicious! Open 24/7 read more

Great late night snacking spot. Popular with the locals. You can start your diet tomorrow.

Came back after a year and everything is as delicious as it was before. This time had the chipotle corn soup, which comes with whole wheat bread. Quinoa salad. The breakfast sandwich and the pretzel ham and cheese are delicious. We also got two different dessert, strawberry shortcake and tiramisu. Fabulous meal. Sorry no pictures. We ate it before we posted read more

Food is good. The spinach artichoke is a great choice for a savoury snack. My favourite thing to get here is the apple chia pudding (sooo delicious). Try the raspberry white moka, you are going to love it! They are friendly and try to place orders quickly. Unfortunately there are a few sits and it's full most of the time, but it is worth the try!! read more

Wonder why there's so many Brekas in Vancouver? Well, because it's great that's why. They have a huge selection of fresh bakery products including some really tasty sandwiches. The apricot chicken salad is one of my favorites. It's open 24/7 which makes it convenient for late night hunger. Good luck finding a place to sit through, it's always crowded in here. Service is always fast in here none the less. I like this place a lot. read more

Dangerously close to our Airbnb condo! And being open 24/7 made it irresistible. We bought many treats. All were delicious.

Love the selection here! It was our first time at a Breka chain and we were so amazed with all the cakes, pastries, cookies, donuts and sandwiches! We decided to get one sandwich and pastry each and shared a drink. I do wish they didn't smush the sandwiches as much in their press when they reheat but I was overall really impressed with the cretzel sandwich. I mean, I love croissants and pretzels so this was the perfect combination and it went really well with the ham and cheese. Would pass on the pocket next time... Kind of just like a microwave hot pocket, but more expensive. We enjoyed the scone and the London fog donut, and would love to try the other sweets next time. For the drink, we got a chai latte to go (I didn't realize they charge extra for take out cups). I really liked it, it had good flavour and was not too sweet. Definitely better than the chai from the big chains. Overall, great place for a quick breakfast/snack. This location does have free street parking in the early morning hours which is convenient. Would love to come back to try the other stuff if I'm ever back in Vancouver. read more

Stayed at Downtown Vancouver recently on vacation and Breka was our designated breakfast spot every morning. It opens 24/7 and has a wide selection of coffee and baked goods, from croissants, cakes, to sandwiches. Prices are also consumer friendly. Everything we tried was great. Wanting to give a special shoutout to their cream puffs. Both the Earl Grey and Matcha cream puffs are to die for, hands down the best we have ever had. Friendly staff and good surroundings. read more

Stopped by to buy a pastry called a Copenhagen, but to my suprise said pastry looked more like a cinnamon bun, oh well, will try but visually not what a Copenhagen should look like. Will let you all know my interpretation of a Copenhagen! After eaten what it is????? I bought. Bill lewis Ok here is what I think of your Copenhagen. It is more like a cinnamon bun with some custard in the bottom. Should be a well buttered puff pastery with an almonds based glaze no taller in height than 1in. All cooked in. Don't worry Breka you're not the only bakery in town that cannot get it right! Hope you can improve on said pastry Bill Lewis PS Cloverdale Bakery made the best Copenhagen but unfortunately they closed shop. read more

What a wonderful place! As a native German who has travelled the world, I know my baked goods. Breka has great patisseries and other baked goods. From breads to pastries to cakes. We ordered a mango tart as well as diverse croissants. All delicious. On a Sunday morning it was quite busy, but we were able to snag a table. read more

I'd concur with the Yelp overall rating on Breka. Kudos for being an all night spot where one can pick up quality baked goods. Being as such, like another all night coffee shop in the area, they occasionally have to deal with homeless people seeking a bit of warmth, and there's a considerable population of them in the area. Didn't present a problem for me, but if you're there early don't be surprised to see them. And not necessarily a part of their rating, just an observation. Only downside for me is I wanted just a cup of black coffee and they don't serve black coffee. They'll make you an Americano, which just isn't my thing. Kind of stunned by this but maybe this is typical in the city? Can't be sure. I opted for a short espresso instead. The baked goods are expansive and range from sweet to savory, and breads, too. With lots of people living within the immediate area this is a good source of quality baked goods so I can heartily recommend it. read more
