Best French Bakery in Port Moody

"Red Wagon may be new to dinner service, but the staple spot in Vancouver is no stranger to killer brunch eats. Now at a new East Hastings Street location, you can find flapjacks in buttermilk and pulled pork varieties on this menu. Address: 2128 East Hastings Street, VancouverPhone: 604-568-4565"

"Known for their pulled pork pancakes, The Red Wagon Cafe is an East Vancouver favorite. Some brunch places around the city stop service around 3 pm, but these guys are open until 9 pm on the weekend. This bodes well for those who may have had a late night and need a late start to the day."

"A funkier cousin of the more traditional chicken and waffles. Oh, and the maple syrup they use on it?. It's Jack Daniels-infused."

"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."

"Purebread is an everyday casual kind of bakery, which is reflected in the price. The almond croissant here was caked over in powdered sugar which was not the best level of sweetness for me and made the entire thing sticky to hold in my sweaty fingers. There was almost no rise here and just a hint of folding effect within."

"Hailing from Whistler, Purebread Bakery has an overwhelming (but amazing) selection of sweet and savoury baked goods. There cakes, brownies, croissants, cookies, scones, brioches, meringues, squares, and more. Multiple locationsFacebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"The Naam is the oldest natural food restaurant in the region. It was originally intended to be a meeting spot where people could come to experience “the good life.” They remain true to their original vision by remaining small, using fresh and pure ingredients, and maintaining a warm, homey, and friendly family-run environment. They’ve been serving vegetarian and vegan meals for over 50 years and can cater to a variety of nutritional requirements."

"A post shared by ᴀᴍᴀɴᴅᴀ 🌱 (@plantbasedbeautie) on Aug 1, 2017 at 9:01pm PDT. Possibly, one of the city’s most popular vegan restaurants, The Naam is regarded as one of the most preferred vegetarian eats in the city of Vancouver. While the Sesame Fries with Miso Gravy is the calling card dish in this restaurant, other favorites include veggie burgers, apples, mouthwatering salads, Mexican-inspired dishes, bowls, and a wide variety of noodles."

"A Kitsilano institution known for its delicious breakfast, the Naam has been serving up its tasty vegan and vegetarian dishes for over 30 years. A taste of their miso gravy is a must. Try it slathered on their dragon bowl or over their sesame fries."

"This Victoria import specializing in all-day brunch has carved out a loyal fan base in our city since its arrival a couple of years ago. Its menu has been temporarily condensed due to the pandemic, but all the favourites are there: pork belly benny with house hollandaise and shredded hash browns; the Charlie bowl with crumbled buttermilk biscuit, ham, bacon, hash browns, and sunny side eggs; and banana walnut pancakes with sautéed bananas and walnuts in maple butter.

"The Jam Café is so popular it’s expanded into two locations: the original at 556 Beatty Street and 2153 West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano. (And if you’re travelling, there’s one over in Victoria, too.) With a kids menu and a full menu for all ages, this is a great destination for a fresh breakfast that will appeal to all palettes."

"It's like a mixture of Thanksgiving dinner and brunch that's going to leave you with an extremely satisfied tummy for the rest of the day."

"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. Cartems Donuterie is one more place that caters exquisite doughnuts downtown and Vancouverites just love it."

"Elysian's newest location at Burrard and Helmcken offers their usual award-winning espresso, Nuez Almond Cashew milk (for arguably the best dairy-free latte in the city), house-made baking and neutral-toned minimalist decor. A small brunch menu is an added offering, featuring avocado toast plus your choice of toppings."

"A post shared by Elysian Coffee Roasters (@elysiancoffee) on Sep 18, 2019 at 10:03am PDT. A local coffee roaster that has set itself up nicely in Kitsilano and a few locations in and around the downtown core. There’s a perfect balance of fruity flavours in their coffee that any coffee aficionado would like."

"The Continental Coffee seems to be a very popular place, buy though the inside is packed, many just come in to buy bags of coffee. The place is big with a large window providing natural light and the rest of the decor is quite minimal, with a communal table and some smaller tables around the shop. In addition to great coffee, Continental Coffee also offers a phenomenal hot chocolate and a selection of savory pastries that aren’t frequently found in other coffee shops."

"A post shared by The Coffee Bar (@coffeebar_gastown) on Mar 19, 2020 at 4:42pm PDT. As it says in the name, this is the coffee bar. Stop by here for a cup of coffee, a nice pastry, and to just hang out in general."

"One of Gastown's most popular cafes serving properly pulled 49th Parallel espresso. Much of their baking is done in-house daily; other high-end items are sourced locally. Enjoy savouring your latte?"

"Ça Marche isn’t the only concept that’s planning to bring some French flair to Vancouver House, as local favourite Linh Cafe is opening a new location at the development also. Linh Cafe’s team confirmed to Dished Vancouver that an outpost would be opening at 1428 Granville Street (exact unit to-be-revealed). Address: 1428 Granville Street, Vancouver"

"What happens when you combine traditional French and modern Vietnamese cooking?. Linh Cafe, of course. This family-style restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and fuss-free, the service is friendly, and the food is excellent."

"This tree-backed public beach is a popular locals' hangout; they're the ones jogging past in Lululemon outfits. It's also a good spot to unpack a picnic and enjoy some sigh-triggering shoreline vistas. It was named after English Bay's 1792 meeting between British mariner Captain George Vancouver and his Spanish counterpart Dionisio Galiano."

"Spanish Banks is nestled between Jericho and Pacific Spirit Park, near the University of British Columbia. It has both a rocky beach covered in logs, perfect for climbing on, and sandy flats accessible when the tide is out. Spanish Banks is for you if… you’re looking for a beach session out on the flats with bare feet."

"Located on Northwest Marine Drive about 8 km west of downtown Vancouver, Spanish Banks is possibly the most beautiful sandy beaches in the area. The beach is sandwiched between Locarno Beach and the University of BC and a cycling/walking trail connects them. It has three distinct areas: east, west and extension."

"Mochido is actually the newest name on this list, having only opened earlier this spring!. They’ve already made some waves thanks to their super interesting ‘mochi donut’, which is like a bunch of little interconnected balls. We have to admit, these folks might get the nod for ‘coolest looking’ on our list of best donuts in Vancouver."

"Parallel 49 (1950 Triumph Street) is one of Vancouver's leading craft breweries (and a personal favorite — I drink Gypsy Tears at home). The Tasting Room has a whopping 40 different taps to choose from and the Street Kitchen (inside) serves up tacos to burgers and daily doughnuts to pair with your beer of choice. Pick up limited edition and rare release beers at the Beer Store or stock up on year-round favorites from the Northwest Red Ale, Ruby Tears, to the Filthy Dirty IPA and the seasonal grapefruit radler Tricycle Radler, which is a summer staple for Vancouverites."

"A post shared by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters (@49th) on Feb 9, 2020 at 3:06pm PST. If you haven’t heard of 49th Parallel, then you’ve never been to Vancouver, because every coffee-drinking Vancouverite knows the friendly coffee giant that is 49th Parallel. With three locations around the city, you can be sure that anytime you stop by one of their shops you can get a standardly delicious cup of coffee, and also you can grab a Lucky’s doughnut, which is just heavenly."

"49th Parallel is famous for Lucky’s Donuts and (in my view at least) their pretty blue mugs. Their beans are roasted in house and it very tasty. While there are a few 49th Parallel coffee shops in Vancouver, their location in Kitsilano has a beautiful patio area making it one of the cutest places to get coffee."
