Of all the Brekas I've been to - and I've been to a lot, as I'm a huge fan! - this one is my least…read morefavorite. 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.

So off we went the next morning to Thierry. We are so grateful for the recommendation, as we ate breakfast/brunch there for the next three days that we were in Vancouver.

When we plan our return trip to Vancouver, Thierry will be our breakfast place! Thank you to the staff who were so helpful, and thank you for the delicious EVERYTHING!!

Curry fish ball focaccia was a very unique item. The focaccia dough had very chewy and soft texture, curry flavor was strong which I really liked. Fish ball was decent and surprisingly paired with this focaccia dough and gruyere cheese on top. I really liked this item. Egg tart was decent. Pastry dough was flaky and large, custard and sesame rice ball filling provided chewy mochi texture. I liked this item, too. They always offer very creative and unique flavor's combination. Especially Asian heritage month items were worth trying.

A few little tables and counter seating available but for parties bigger than 4, it might be challenging to sit.

What I got: Milk Chocolate Passion Fruit Croissant A bicolored croissant filled with milk chocolate and passion fruit whipped ganache. Bright and tangy notes meet smooth, comforting chocolate -- a taste of sunshine on a crisp fall afternoon. Bi colored croissant looked very beautiful.

It reminds me of hot chocolate with fruit flavor which I really liked. It was pretty good item.

The price was very fair considering the quality and flavour. This time around, I ordered a mung bean and pandan cake for my dad's birthday. It is quite difficult to get my Asian parents' approval on sweets, as generally everything is too sweet and heavy for their liking. However, this cake really hit the spot! It was not too sweet, and the combination of pandan and mung bean was fragrant and flavourful. My parents had high praise for the cake, and so, needless to say, I will be back for every birthday of theirs. Their online platform is easy to navigate and order from. Pick-up is easy at their storefront on Kingsway, where you can also pick up cake jars and other little treats inside.

I was told the cookies can last for 6 months unopened. The store is very small and take-out only. They didn't have any ice pack, but the cashier was nice to find me a box to fit the 6+ jars I purchased.

The everything bagel was basically an everything bagel but airy light donut consistency but with more of a sweet and savory cream cheese taste. It's a big yes highly recommend for me!

I had fun looking at the variety of items and wanted to get one of everything, but knew I didn't have the stomach space to enjoy it or the space to take it back home to California with me. I ended up getting BBQ Pork Rice Noodles (5.95), Siu-Mai ($5.95), Pan Fried Dumplings ($5.95), and a couple other items from the shelves that I forget the names/prices for. The person helping me was friendly and put my order in for the hot items. They packed it up for me and made sure to include sauces and asked if I needed forks. I made it back to my hotel and when I opened the items they were hot and fresh and I was surprised by the portion sizes- so generous for the price. Everything was delicious and the rice rolls were my favorite. I would absolutely recommend trying this spot and I'm excited to visit Vancouver again so I can stop back in.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
