"A post shared by Purebread (@purebread_canada) on Jun 12, 2019 at 9:37am PDT. Anyone and everyone who has stepped inside Purebread will tell you the pastries and dessert display is pure heaven. From giant meringues, the size of your face to pillowy soft coconut cake with dollops of rich cream cheese frosting, the mountainous tower of sweets is perfect for dessert lovers, especially this spot’s signature Crack Bar."

"This cute little bakery has expanded in recent years and is a firm favourite among Vancouverites for its sweet treats. 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."

"A post shared by Purebread (@purebread_canada) on Jan 31, 2020 at 8:46am PST. Purebread is pretty much the ultimate place to head for baked goods in Vancouver. The piles and piles of freshly baked brownies, cookies, buns, and loaves is enough to make any treat lover swoon."

"On the flipside, Cartems has, in our minds, become the top dog of cake donuts. We seriously don’t think we’ve had a better one in our lives than their Earl Grey option, at least for our preferences. What’s more, we also won’t hesitate to say that they’ve got some of the best vegan donuts in Vancouver to boot, especially since there’s an Earl Grey version of that, too."

"Address: Downtown – 534 West Pender, Vancouver BC | Mount Pleasant – 2190 Main St., Vancouver BC. My friends wanted to go and get some donuts, and we went to this place called Cartems!. Apparently, they have a lot of vegan and gluten-free options (which made me really happy!)."

"A beautiful shopping mall carrying designer brands, Sinclair Centre, aside from being a stunning work of marble and brass architecture complete with a glass atrium, is also for many, where they first became “Canadians.” The centre is comprised of four buildings that have been joined together, including the Federal Building where the Passport office is located.
