Lovely Korean café in Chinatown! After trying the hype of salt bread in Korea, this was a pleasant find in Vancouver. Salt bread is like a savory dinner roll/croissant. I liked the variety of flavors available and around noon 3 flavors were already sold out. I tried the street potato latte and plain salt bread. The salt bread is on the buttery/salty side but not overwhelmingly so. The latte wasn't too sweet and a nice drink for the cold weather. read more

Walked by this super cute shop and decided to try it out. The breads are amazing, super fluffy texture and tons of flavor. The melon bread adds a melon kick over the plain bread and was our favorite. The drinks are excellent and are a great addition. Remarkably friendly staff too! read more

Stumbled into Sio bread on our way back from China town and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the salt breads coming out of this little shop. We ordered the maple butter, melon and the original salt bread. All three were delicious and had their own distinct flavors that did didn't disappoint. They even offer to heat them up for you if you plan to eat them right away. I will definitely be back for more salt bread. read more

So glad to have stumbled upon this business while in the neighborhood. I'm a sucker for a good bakery and the pastries here had me intrigued.  First off, the place is super cute inside. Great vibes. Smiley and welcoming employee happily took our order. It was tough to pick a pastry. We chose just the melon since we weren't super hungry but after one bite of it, I was like we need to try more and went back and ordered the Earl Grey so we could also try one of the pastries with filling. I enjoyed both! The melon pastry for its unctuous topping. That bite was superb and really made the pastry. Reminiscent of a melon pan from Japan! The earl grey sio bread was softer and I didn't enjoy it quite as much since it didn't have the crumbly topping like on the melon bread but the Earl Grey filling lived up to its name. Strong tea flavor but wasn't overpowering or cloying. Can't have pastries without coffee so I ordered what seemed to be their signature drink, the cream coffee. Drink had a good balance of creaminess paired with a strong coffee flavor. Delish!  They also randomly sell more savory options like poke bowls or a hot dog in their bread which given the quality of everything I tried I bet would also be tasty! read more

Brings back memories of Japan pastries. That is how I felt biting down into a Moka bun at Sio - light and yet chewy, just like the Melon Pans in Asakusa. A hint of salt perfectly complements the coffee crust exterior. It was delicious. If it was in another location I could become a regular! read more

Glad to see another new cafe in the downtown area. The staff was friendly and was able to describe what the difference was between their cream coffee and latte. I recommend the cream coffee. It was one the best coffees I've had recently. Nice to see that there were a bunch of tables and a little Japanese type of decor. They have lots of flavours of sio (salt) bread and the one I got (which was filled with nutella) was delicious. Additionally, they offer kaisendon (Japanese rice bowls with seafood) and poke too!! read more

I visited Shio bakery which offer their signature item Shio bread. This bread was now in trend , it looks very simple, but, so buttery and chewy soft texture. Very addictive item. What I got Signature shio bread, Shio Melon, Tamago shio bread, Shio jambon and tamago. 　 Except Shio Melon, the base breads are all the same. Bread itself was great. The bottom part was crispy with butter, and texture was so soft and chewy, just perfect. Tamago and Jambon were good accent. My favorite was Shio Melon!! Sweet dough was covered on the top of Shio bread, Sweet and Savory combination. Definitly highly recommended. Overall, I am very satisfied with their products. I will revisit to try new item! read more

the plan was to visit an uji matcha spot from kyoto, but when it wasn't open, i wandered around chinatown, nostalgic of the days when i visited chinatown with my mom on her weekly grocery runs and stumbled upon sio. this tiny shop specializes in japanese inspired shio breads, those delicious buttery, salty bread rolls, alongside poke bowls, kaisen dons, and gyu don. the space is minimal and bright, with cool geometric tile accents on the counter and a stylish wood and concrete wall feature. there's some casual seating tucked into a corner, plus a couple of cheerful coral string chairs with a small black table that make for a cute waiting area. the menu isn't huge but thoughtfully curated. i spotted the matcha cream latte on their limited board, a solid consolation for missing my original plan. smooth and refreshing, with a delicate balance of earthy matcha and the natural sweetness of oat milk. the flavour is mellow and creamy, with subtle grassy notes softened by the nuttiness of oat milk. and it was only $5.50, i paid extra for the oat milk. definitely a neat spot to try those flaky sio breads if you love japanese bakery vibes or want a quick casual meal with some fresh poke or seafood rice bowls. perfect for a chill solo stop or a low key catch up with a friend while exploring chinatown's food scene. read more

Located in the Chinatown neighbourhood, I love how Sio Breads open on the later side (7pm) compared to other cafes and bakeries. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by an there was plenty of seating inside. I got their speical beverage (sio cream coffee) and quite enjoyed it and found that the cream wasn't too sweet. I tried two of the sio breads - melon, matcha cream, and strawberry cream and thought both were quite good. I did wish the bread was just a tidge on the softer side. Overall, would recommend coming here. read more

i'm from LA and have been to korea to try salt bread so i've had my fair share on how a perfect salt bread should taste like. this was pretty up there! and honestly, so much better than the biggest salt bread bakery here in LA. i was surprised by the texture and could tell the owners/bakers here know what salt bread is. smooth buttery flavor + texture and the cream ones were also not too sweet. they were also very kind!! we told them we were visiting and gave us 2 free breads :) i hope many people come visit this place more often!! read more

Such a cute cafe! I love their salt breads because they are so airy and fluffy. Mocha is my favourite.

Sio Bread crafts authentic Japanese Shio-pan, and offers a wide variety of freshly baked goods throughout the day. My favourite is definitely the matcha, which perfectly blends the sweet and bitter matcha with the savoury bun. It also has a nice chewy mochi filling, which is so unique and delicious. Next time, I would love to try their "brunch" offerings, such as the egg and ham bun. read more

stumbled across this bakery as i waited for seating at a nearby restaurant and i did not expect to love it as much as i did! the interior was minimal and cute -- i noticed a few people studying/working as they enjoyed the drinks and pastries. they had several kinds of bread on display but i was especially drawn to the strawberry cream! the cream and strawberries were so light and fresh, not too sweet nor heavy and the salt bread was a nice contrast that worked surprisingly well. it was soft and indeed, buttery! not too sure if it just opened as i was astonished there had only been one review :0 so so good and need to be shown more love! you need to try their pastries!! read more

The salted bread was very good. I also tried the matcha filled one but preferred the plain salted bread. I also tried the matcha drink but I couldn't taste the matcha - it was faint - tasted like lightly flavored milk to me. read more
