Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Surrey

"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."

"As the name implies, Purebread bakes over 20 different loaves. Find classic breads such as baguette, ciabatta, and rye, as well as a number of unique flavours including sour cherry pecan, lavender rosemary, and asiago black pepper. The bakery also offers plenty of treats to satisfy customers with a sweet tooth."

"One visit to Purebread in Vancouver's Gastown and you'll see what all the fuss is about. With freshly baked goods that change daily, there's always something new that will tempt. Purebread uses only quality ingredients and bakes everything from scratch."

"A post shared by Cartems Donuts (@cartemsdonuts) on Feb 21, 2018 at 9:12pm PST. Description: The only thing better than birthday cakes are Cartems Donuts. Place a special order at the West Pender location for letter shaped donuts that spell out ‘Happy Birthday’ in your favourite flavours, which include gluten-free and vegan varieties."

"A post shared by Cartems Donuts (@cartemsdonuts) on Mar 29, 2018 at 10:03pm PDT. Another well-known donut shop, Cartems, may be known for their treats but many don’t know that it’s also a great place to study. Pick up one of their classic donuts or seasonal specials to help get you through your work week."

"Frenchman and former Le Gavroche pastry chef Thierry Busset is the chef patron of Thierry, a brilliant patisserie/cafe/chocolatier and lunch spot downtown. Sit on the sunny terrace while you scoff his delectable salted caramel macaroons (£1.23 each) or sink into one of the sumptuous cakes or seasonal tarts made by his wife and co-pastry chef Alison and their team. At lunch, try one of the gourmet baguettes (created by local fine-dining restaurant West's renowned chef Quang Dang), such as the cold smoked sockeye salmon with cucumber and caper cream cheese (£2.71 for half/£5.45 full)."

"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."

"Looking inside, you can see there are actually two almond sections: one tube-like almond bar and a generous amount of almond paste buried under a number of layers and folds. Content-wise, this had the second highest almond proportion. Its shell didn't have the same flakiness as the two above but made up for it with a great rise."

"If you’re looking for a space to perch yourself for a few hours then look no further than Small Victory – a gorgeous cafe-bakery in Gastown and one of our favourite hangouts for laptop club. There’s a huge range of croissants, cakes and cheesecakes to keep you satisfied while you’re at work. Address: 1088 Homer StreetPhone: 604-899-8892Website: www.smallvictory.ca"

"Small Victory is best known for their house-made pastries, but they also make a to-die-for coconut cake, made from moist layers of coconut sponge blanketed with the velvety coconut pudding cream. In the middle of this treat is a surprise layer of crunchy goodness. Address: 1088 Homer Street, VancouverPhone: 604-899-8892"

"A post shared by le pig worldwide (@peppilepig) on Jul 19, 2020 at 11:36am PDT. One of the best Americanos in the city and one of the best Avocado toasts ever await you at Small Victory. This spot knows its coffee and its treats are certainly no wallflowers either."

"Melo is a newer entry on this list but they've sprung up as a viable option in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. This almond croissant features a good rise and a slight candied crunch to the top almond layer. The inside leaves much to be desired with only a smidgen of almond paste within."

"It was okay....we were pretty hungry and wanted to have some food. The food ended up being too much and without salt. I was expecting something better."

"Not only is Turf a plant-based cafe and one of the most delicious breakfast restaurants in Vancouver, but it’s an exercise studio and store too. The “ricotta” toast is great as are their walnut milk lattes!. The brunch menu includes gluten-free toasts and vegan bowls or opt for the banana bread French toast for something sweet."

"Turf has a workout studio, and “the Class” is a popular fitness class. The owners describe Turf as “the foundation of all the things they love: healthy food, thoughtful apparel, a conscious sweat, the best coffee and building community.”. Order the mushroom ricotta toast or their daily features and a coffee or turmeric latte."

"Not only is Turf a trendy fitness studio, it’s also a restaurant and café that serves mostly plant-based food, with locally and consciously sourced ingredients. I frequent their downtown location on West Georgia Street, which is super spacious and bright. It’s a great place to sit with a cup of coffee and get some work done."

"Every café sells baked treats, but Their There in the beachside neighborhood of Kitsilano takes its carbs as seriously as its caffeine. After all, the nuanced notes of a single-origin Kenyan coffee deserve the equally sophisticated sweetness of Thai tea cronuts with lemongrass glaze and candied Thai basil. Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."

"We’ve been so hyped up about Their There that we recently wrote an article just to talk about the specialty flavours. Turns out, if you want our attention, all you have to do is put ‘Froot Loops’, ‘Mochi’ and ‘Donuts’ together and actually bring the flavour to back it up. Word to the wise- this sounds relatively easy, but boy howdy do we know a lot of TLC goes into each donut here."

"Today was my first time eating 'their their 'the donuts are absolutely delicious and amazing, thank you for feeding my soul,the flavors almost ..."

"Located on the corner of Burrard and Georgia, Royal Centre is easily accessible for those visiting downtown Vancouver. Either walk over or take the SkyTrain to Burrard Station, where you’ll see RBC Tower next to the mall’s entrance. Eat lunch at the multicultural food court before admiring the quality leather footwear at Valentini Shoes."

"The Galley Patio & Grill is located at Jericho Beach and is Vancouver’s casual restaurant destination for fresh, organic, and delicious beach fare. This cafeteria-style grill is a longtanding, popular beach dining location. Overlooking the English Bay, guests can enjoy views of the skyline of downtown Vancouver backed by the North Shore Mountains, Stanley Park, North and West Vancouver, Point Atkinson, Bowen Island, the Sunshine Coast, and Vancouver Island in the distance."

"A post shared by Tina Yu (@tnaonly) on Jul 14, 2018 at 2:21pm PDT. The Galley, beachside at the Jericho Sailing Centre, is open till sunset every day. You’ll get a fantastic view of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park, the North Shore Mountains, Bowen Island, and the Strait of Georgia – with a beachside menu to match."

"Residing at the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district, the Heritage Asian Eatery is actually a counter-service restaurant. They serve the delicious flavours brought straightaway from the Far-East, it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Prepared with local ingredients and traditional techniques, getting a taste of these delicious delicacies is indeed blissful."

"Classically trained chef, and star of Top Chef Canada, Chef Felix Zhou runs the counter service establishment Heritage Asian Eatery. His restaurant serves classic comfort food with an Asian flair, such as pork belly bao, five-spice chicken wings, XLB dumplings, and duck rice bowls. Head to Heritage for Far East cuisine and locally sourced ingredients in a casual setting."

"Chef Felix Zhou makes Bao buns at the Heritage Asian Eatery in Vancouver. Ben Nelms/The Globe and Mail. Quick-service casual is the fastest-growing dining segment in North America and we're bound to see much more of it."

"It’s hard to believe Parallel 49 only opened a few years ago; the brewery has really exploded since opening. Their brews embody the fun of craft beer and their flavours showcase a diversity of original flavours. The tasting room acts as a refuge for beer afficiandos and newcomers alike, and allows visitors to enjoy sampler sizes of everything from ales, lagers, malts and popular seasonal brews."

"A massive overhaul to their taproom along with a more dedicated shift in focus to start creating some really inventive beer has Parallel ranking much higher than we would have given them credit for a few years back. They are on fire right now, and having the creative minds of Boombox in-house is just an added bonus."

"Driven by a never ending thirst for amazing beer, Parallel 49 does things a bit differently, offering great beers with unique flavors, such as the hopped sour Bodhisattva due to its unique leafy taste, the Tricycle Radler, giving of  a nice aroma of grapefruits and of course their Jearkface 9000 a great Wheat Ale."
