How ’bout a slice of raspberry riot topped with hot pink raspberry lemon drizzle or a chocolate-packed outrageous brownie?. Purebread uses real, quality ingredients that help to make their goodies delicious."

"Purebread is a must for great baking in Vancouver and they just opened yet another location!. Fresh off the heels of their new Mount Pleasant location, Purebread is a welcome addition in Kitsilano at 2887 West Broadway, serving up pastries, breads, squares, bars, cookies and more."

"A great bakery that has several locations around Vancouver and one of them is very close if you are hovering between Gastown and Chinatown. Have a bite of their flourless chocolate cake, or their stunning, flavoursome bacon and egg brioche. Combine your snack with iced Americano."

"Whether by some chance you watch Netflix’s “Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner” with David Chang, you might have caught that episode when Vancouver’s very own Seth Rogan takes chef Chang to Lee’s Donuts on Granville Island and the two help their munchies there. This is a mom and pop bakery shop, serving classic donuts since 1979 and they have an ample of yummy donuts to choose from: Chocolate Crunch, Butter Crunch, Honeydew, Maple Iced, Cinnamon, Lemon Cheesecake–and the list goes on.

"Thierry is best known for their fine French pastries, but expert baristas and an organic, fair trade espresso blend, designed by Casa del Caffe’s Vincent Gentile, ensure consistently good coffee, too. Their beans are dry roasted to ensure freshness and a unique taste profile that’s strong and smooth with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and spice. Late night coffee drinkers will appreciate Thierry’s close time of 12am, and spiked drinks are available, too."

"So if you’re in the mood for a pastry or chocolate you can head here and enjoy it on their outdoor patio. And that sounds like a pretty ideal fall activity if you ask us. Where: 1059 Alberni StreetHours: Mon-Thursday 8 am-10 pm, Friday & Saturday 8 am-11 pm, Sunday 9 am-10 pm"

"Maitre artisan Chocolatier and Patissier Chef Thierry Busset honed his craft at the hands of the masters, including notable chocolatier Bernard Sicard in Auvergn. Needless to say, Thierry is where to go for classic pastries with a contemporary twist."

"A post shared by Small Victory Bakery (@sv_bakery) on Apr 9, 2020 at 2:14pm PDT. This is the marriage of bread and coffee, or the marriage of baked goods and coffee, or just delicious desserts and coffee…seriously, go try their food. They also have phenomenal local roasters on the bar at all times working at their outposts in Yaletown and South Granville."

"Most cafés on this list cater to the coffee uber-geeks that frequent gentrifying artsy neighborhoods like Gastown. Small Victory lets the quinoa-salad-and-avocado-toast crowds in Yaletown and South Granville get in on top-flight brews too. Its pour-over beans come from Prototype and other cool Canadian roasters."

"Every bite was basically an explosion of flakes crunching off the shell of the croissant. However, the almond paste felt quite thin and the inside of the croissant revealed a number of questionably gaping holes. For a $5 croissant and I'd say this one just makes the cut as far as being able to recommend."

"A post shared by Kozak Ukraïnian Bakery (@kozakukrainianfood). A popular destination for Ukrainian food and artisan bread, Kozak Ukraïnian Bakery, is officially opening a new Vancouver location. The local staple will be opening its third outpost in Gastown at 1 West Cordova Street sometime this spring."

"From Sunday suppers to sourdough breads, most Vancouverites looking for a cozy and homey experience know they should head down to Commercial Drive for Livia Sweets. This adorable family-run bakery is named in honor of a beloved grandmother, and carries her love and traditions in every one of their delicious products. Their pastries are just fabulous, and you’ll definitely want to take a big satisfying bite of the famous Cinnamon Danish."

"Find it: 1399 Commercial Drive, liviasweets.com, @liviasweets. The lowdown: Baker and pastry chef Claire Livia Lassam opened her East Vancouver bakery-café to much anticipation in spring 2019, and the cozy-chic interior has been packed ever since. Must-order: Anything on their organic sourdough bread is a winner, such as their grown-up eggs and soldiers with beets and crème fraiche."

"There’s no better place to relax at than Livia Sweets on Commercial. This charming Insta-worthy bakery and cafe offers guests a super cute 16-seat patio which has taken its popularity to the next level. Serving up artisan baguettes, potato buns, and other seasonal creations, this is a must-stop for any and everyone."

"Everyone talks about the double bake from Thomas Haas, but what if I told you there was a cheaper double bake option, and at least in a case-by-case comparison in my analysis, that came from a newer entrant in the Vancouver almond croissant scene?. While the almond paste was a little on the short side, it feels like the intention here was to showcase the mastery in flakiness and overall croissant mastery. The folds here were immaculate to say the least and the rise was off the charts relative to everything else on this list."

"We are an independent bakery specializing in naturally leavened sourdough bread and French inspired pastries. We believe in making everything from scratch, with fresh, high quality ingredients. All of our breads are made with whole grains and baked"

"A post shared by Vancouver Ice Cream 🍦 (@creamylicks) on May 5, 2019 at 6:18pm PDT. Maker of one of the city’s best birthday cakes, Sweet Somethings also has a great selection of ice cream. You can also order cones and pints to take home for a personal dessert party."

"A post shared by Chimgee Anderson (@chimgeeanderson) on Oct 28, 2017 at 2:48pm PDT.

The gallery also displays the artwork of established modern artists such as Johanan Herson, Elena Yampolsky and Shai Mandel."

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"

"The Vancouver Art Gallery is Western Canada’s largest art museum and one of the city’s premier cultural institutions. Located at Robson Square, the VAG is located inside the beautiful 1905-built Rattenbury building which once housed the city’s courthouse. It features some of Canada’s finest work, including those of the Group of Seven and Emily Carr, within 41,400 square feet of exhibition space over four floors."

"In terms of size and scale, the Vancouver Art gallery ranks as the largest museum in Western Canada and the fifth largest in all of Canada!. The Art Gallery was designed by two local guys Sharp and Thompson for just $40,000. It has moved locations and is undergoing exciting new changes but is still recognized as one of the most innovative buildings in the city."
