We found this bakery on a trip to Vancouver BC. In a city of many bake shops this one stood out. The quality of the bakery goods is astounding. So tasty and tastefully laid out. They have an amazing variety of offerings as well. The staff were also very gracious and patient as we slowly purused the options. Well worth a visit or many if you live closer.

purebread is somehow simultaneously heaven and hell. the displays are STACKED full of SUCH DELICIOUS LOOKING TREATS but at the same time how does one possibly choose from all of these ?!!? i almost cried trying to decide . one of my favourites was the chocolate bottom banana. the top was a light, mildly sweet banana bread that had crunchy, slightly dark/bitter chocolate chunks embedded into it THAT I LOVED, and the bottom was kind of like a chocolate pound cake which was a bit dense, not too sweet at all which was nice, and a bit moist. the savoury treats, like the cheese and herb scone, the bacon cheddar chive scone, and the spinach feta muffin were all really good too. we had them warmed, and the texture was perfect — i feel like the scones were on the PRECIPICE of being dry, but i still thought the inside was perfectly fluffy, buttery, bready, and dense. i also liked the savouriness of the cheese and the freshness/delicious fragrance of the herbs and chives. the pudgie pie, which was generously stuffed with warm, mushy potato and slightly pungent goat cheese, also had a great flaky, soft, doughy croissant crust. the wintermint cake is probably an acquired taste but i am a mint fanatic and i thought it was yummy. the icing is VERY sweet and had a pretty strong minty flavour, but the same moist, not-too-sweet chocolate pound cake did a good job of balancing it out. the boozy french apple cake was moist and had really tart, sour-ish apples; the coconut banana loaf slice was a bit dry/hard but the flavour was great and the coconut flakes were nice.

Great pastries was suprised but how many pastries they had love the lay out of the pastries I hope they can open a Purebred near me. "Boozy Apple Cake" was lovey it is a nice light not too boozy cake it's like a invisible apple cake but with more cake. "The Pudgie Pie" was really good loved the chesse and onions. Lots of vegetarian options for savoury section Only cons were that they don't have decafe and that alt-milks have an upcharge. Overall will definitely come back

This pure bread location is the closest to where we live, but I don’t know why we rarely go that area. It was not too busy pm a Sunday afternoon, it did not take us too long to get a seat. It seemed to be more spacious than other locations (our favourite is the one at Squamish), perhaps they could put a few more tables and/or chairs. The selection did not appear to be more than other locations either. However, Pure Bread is great as their quality remains constantly high and a fair price.

Such a cute and plentiful bakery! I really liked their iced vanilla late - so delicious! I got four treats (3 croissants + 1 giant meringue) and a latte for $35.89.
