I loved this place!

They had so many sweet and salty options!
I decided to take the chicken tarte/quiche, i don't remember the name, but it tasted delicious!
And for dessert, i took the cinnamon roll, and what can i say, it was sooo delicious, i cannot describe it.
The matcha with raspberry was also amazing and the sausage roll that i took for take away, was also so good.
I highly recommend this awesome place!!

Good but not great

I agree with another commentator. The presentation is a 10/10. The taste is a 7/10. I got the chai cube croissant, which okay is a very Instagramable pastry, so maybe I fell for that one, but I wanted to try it. I didn't like the cream or filling, and it wasn't very flaky. I also got the breakfast sandwich with sausage. It was good, but it was definitely missing something. Some hot sauce would have bumped it up a couple of notches.

Pros: All vegan, Lots of variety

Cons: Seating isn't comfortable

Nice vegan bakery

I love that they also have nice savory options, not only sweets.
Everything we tried was good but I think everything looks a lot better than it tastes.

Great Vegan Bakery

We’ve followed this bakery on instagram for years and finally had the chance to visit. It is fantastic!!! Better than we could have imagined. Baking perfection meets plant powered nutrition.

Absolutely AMAZING breakfast cafe! Would kill for!

The food here is amazing - they have vegan breakfast croissant sandwiches and a wide variety of pastries, plus standard (vegan) cafe drinks. I personally had their sausage breakfast sandwich, a pain au chocolate, their seasonal peaches and cream pastry, and a chai latte, all of which were excellent.

The cafe is somewhat small and seemed to be very popular when I was there, making the actual restaurant quite busy and loud. Highly recommend taking food elsewhere or snagging outdoor seating if weather permits.

The staff were also very nice - when an item wasn't included on our order they just gave it to us for free instead of having us set up another purchase.

Pros: absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS food, Wide variety of pastries, Outdoor seating

Cons: Loud, crowded restaurant

Fantastic

Finally made it over, matcha latté and cinnamon bun were excellent! Highly recommended! #Veganuary
Update: I bought a double chocolate cake for a staff party, it was hands down the best cake I've ever had! Anna was really great to deal with too! Very helpful! (August 1st, 2025)

Vegan Pastry Lovers’ Heaven -Sinfully the BEST🤩

We are absolutely spoiled having a vegan bakery like this one in Vancouver!!! 😍 I feel everything looks so interesting. We only tried their banana cream croissant & it was so incredible! We will return to try more. It gets pretty packed at the peak hours so go early! My 3rd visit today updates: Must try their pistachio & raspberry croissant 🥐 with rich, thick & heavy cream filling inside! 🤤 I don’t think 🤔 I’ve ever tried these two before! Truly sinfully the BEST!

Must Try Bakery!

I have come here multiple times when visiting Vancouver and it’s a must to stop here every time. The Nanaimo bars are fantastic and all of their other items are delicious as well!

Baked goods to die for

I tried the carrot cake, cinnamon roll and a blueberry scone. All three were delicious. The cake and cinnamon roll had what tasted like a sour cream frosting. Which was great and not too sweet or rich.

Pros: All vegan , Many options

Literally incredible food

Me and my partner are here on holiday and have already been twice and intend to come again before we go home. The food is brilliant and coffee is on point. Super reasonably priced too. We loved that it was animal focused too. Animal rights and welfare is unfortunately often missed in other vegan places around the globe. Keep up the good work!

Pros: Coffee , Breakfast croissants , Raspberry and macha square

Cons: Non!

Love an all vegan bakery!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was PACKED. Really glad to see how popular it was! There was a ton of options for baked goods, cakes, and breakfast sandwiches, plus all the coffee drinks you could want. I had the carrot cake, which was excellent. I’ll definitely be back to get a breakfast sandwiches on a croissant! #Veganuary

sweet and savory pastries

We came here two mornings in a row during our time in Vancouver and got several items, both sweet and savory. All were very good! The best vegan pain au chocolat I've had. So flakey and airy. The oatmilk latte was very good, too. This will now be a regular stop when we come to Vancouver!

Lovely Bakery

Tried this place because it was highly recommended and I understood why, this lovely vegan bakery has a lot of options and even rotating flavours every months. The pastries compare to bakeries in Paris, they are very tasty! My only complaint is that due to rotating flavours, we couldn’t get strawberry croissant since it’s only in summer, it should be added as permanent item!

great pastries

Had really high expectations for this place, and I still think Canela in Calgary is a better vegan bakery for overall vibe. The baked goods are comparable, really delicious, flaky croissant! The staff seemed a bit hurried, short, not super friendly. The space is just kinda weird, not somewhere you want to stop and have a coffee date which is what I was hoping for. Very busy, very limited/cheap looking seating. However, baked goods were very good, and all vegan!

Pros: amazing pastries

Healthy Cookie

I got this in a Terracotta Tummy order. It was nice with a coffee in the afternoon. Very moist, dense and filling.

Breathtaking kitchen / high demand

I went on a Sunday morning and there was a line to get in the entire time - I can see why! This place is extraordinary. A Vancouver hero shop. The store is built adjacent to the bakery and you can watch the chefs making everything full time as you snack on soft serve, lattes, gluten-free desserts and artisan cakes - everything is vegan! The menu goes on for days. My Love got the breakfast sandwich and a pizza slice to go. I got the soft serve in a waffle cone and a rooibos oat latte w whip. Will return SOON.

The reason to move to Vancouver

Whatever you get here, you cant go wrong! I had the plain au chocolate, cinnamon bun, almond croissaint and the cheddar scone and oh my gosh! Everything was so good! Definitely have to come back for the brekky sandwich. Their coffee is good too. And the stqff is super lovely, one of the girls had some beautiful words for me after I told her I finished the PCT.
My partner wants to move to Vancouver and after visiting this place, he's got me on board haha

Pros: Great coffee, Lots of options, Lovely staff

Best croissants ever!

Like most of the vegans in Vancouver, I absolutely adore this bakery! The owner, Erin Ireland, is truly the sweetest and she has poured so much love into this place. I got my birthday cake from here, and they made me a custom fox themed vanilla cake which was so delicious!! I am also obsessed with their croissants as they are the flakiest I have ever had, and they taste exactly like the croissants I would eat before going vegan!

Pros: Delicious food, Custom cakes are amazing, Kindest owner and staff!
