A VANCOUVER FAVOURITE

Breka Bakery & Cafe is a local family business born in 2006 at Fraser and 49th, in the lively neighbourhood of Sunset. We took over a well-established German bakery and have stayed true to its roots, while expanding its offer. Our “Bienenstich”, family sized apple strudel and freshly baked artisan rye breads (among others) are still made following some of the original recipes.

Regularly voted among Vancouver’s best bakeries and cafes, Breka’s reputation has always been based on word-of-mouth: thanks to Vancouverites and visitors alike, it is traveling around the clock at the speed of "kuffles" and has long spread beyond the borders of our original Sunset neighbourhood.
