I've heard of this place from some of my neighbors for a few years now, as they purchase their…read morebread from here. And I have walked past it a lot in the summer, when I go on long seawall walks, often walking back on Beach Ave. This place is on Beach, by the underside of the Burrard Bridge and the hanging chandelier there. Whenever I've passed Tartine, I've made a mental note to visit. In the summer, there are a few bistro tables outside with people drinking coffees and eating the most scrumptious-looking pastries and croissants. And the aroma that's wafted out of this place at times has been heavenly. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats the aroma that emanates from a bakery. I finally ventured inside the other day, as I was in the area and I was in the market to get some bread. The interior is small, and it was cramped with tables in close proximity to each other, and lots of people inside. The counter had three people behind it, and they were busy ringing up orders and getting foods from the back and preparing bags for pick-up. TBH it looked a little chaotic, and I just stood at the counter, waiting for someone to be free to help me. No-one looked up or acknowledged me or said they'd help me in a second. So it was kinda weird. (No-one else was standing at the counter. Everyone else was seated at tables). I took the time to read the menu on the wall and look at the foods in the display case. Wow, the pies looked insanely good. Lots of sandwiches. I saw the racks of fresh bread loafs in the back. Lots of beverages listed on the chalk menu on the wall. I was REALLY impressed with their prices here. Without exception, everything here was less expensive than any cafe or bakery in town. Sometimes items were just $1-$2 less, but across the board, everything was less: coffees, pastries, breads. Nice!!! Finally a girl looked up and asked what she could get for me. I asked what kind of breads they had, specifically, if they had a challah bread. She looked at me like I was from Mars. I had to explain what challah bread is. (Is it that obscure, that someone in a bakery wouldn't have heard of it? This blew me away). Anyhow, no, needless to say, they don't have challah here. Bummer. She listed all the other types of bread. I asked if they had a baguette and she said, yes, she forgot to mention that! So I got the baguette (it was $3 and change). When I got home, my kid and I ripped right into that baguette (we are bread fiends!) and wow, it was SO fresh and so good, with the perfect crusty exterior and soft, chewy interior. For $3 and change! Great bread, great price. Despite their not having challah and their chaotic counter, I really liked this place. It'd be perfect for getting a bougie sandwich and/or pastry and coffee, to go and having a little picnic by the seawall when the weather gets warmer. The prices are great, and the food looks amazing.

Tartine has a whole array of sweet and savoury baked goods, not just pies, plus drinks and…read moresandwiches. It's a little cramped inside because they've filled the space with a lot of seating. There is also outdoor seating which was very nice on a good weather day. Lots of tables looked like they could use a wipe down. I had: Roasted beets sandwich: Really good! Very fresh ciabatta. Nice earthy, wholesome flavour. I especially loved the goat cheese spread. Coconut cream pie: Too much whipped cream! The mountain of whipped cream looked nice but the plain whipped cream overpowered the coconut custard filling that should have been the main attraction. I liked the custard and the crispy crust, but had to scrape off a lot of the whipped cream. Sparkling passionfruit iced tea: This is a summer seasonal drink. I think it had some special name that I don't remember. Really refreshing with just the right balance of passionfruit flavour and good iced tea. Just okay service. Some staff members seemed more approachable than others. They call out orders, but there's not really any room inside to stand while you're waiting, so I had to stay outside but hover around the door so I could hear my name. It would help if they just brought the food out to you. The sandwich preparation wasn't ridiculously slow but wasn't quick either.

If you love croissants this is the place. Their croissants are amazing - very flaky, slight…read morecrispy, very light and airy - it is like biting into a cloud full of succulent raspberry, which is so light. It's not as crispy as some others but light and uniquely wonderful. I definitely want to come back to try their other croissants. I also had a Koughn Aman. Their take is slightly different. It has a very sweet glaze on top but is not really crispy like most other bakeries do it. I like it though I might slightly prefer the way other places do it. Overall amazing pastries.

Croissants are never ready when they open. Staff are surly - could be much better. Great location.read more

"In heaven, everything is fine" The lady in the radiator song from Eraserhead, (later covered by…read morethe Pixies), is the perfect song encapsulating the feeling of eating a crêpe from La Crêpery Boheme. They have a plethora of options both sweet and savoury but my money is on the squash crepe with pesto ,feta, fresh greens and more. Bringing elation to my soul I savour every delicious bite and it feels damn fine. Great flavour combinations and quality ingredients. As far as I know they are only available at the farmers markets, and the lineups are usually quite long in the summer at Trout Lake but you can luck out at the winter market at Nat Bailey stadium (like I did today), and only a few people were in line ahead of us. P.s. It's also a really good sign when a random stranger asks you where they can procure such fine eats after seeing the wrap in your hand.

Today, hanging out at Portobello West and getting peckish, I caved to the crave of crepes. Cranberry and brie with salad and a tangy vinegrette, it was easy to mow down on the whole, slightly messy, thing! I was torn with so many choices--fig and jam; garlicy eggplant and roasted red peppers just to name 2 of their 2 chalkboards full of goodness. Blasting "musique au Francais" (*this could be spelled wrong-haha) in his purpley-pink psychedelic van with 3 crepe pans a sizzling - it's definitely a high-class gourmet-food-stand experience!
