Fife Bakery Vancouver

A gem of a bakery/an unlikely place

Roz from Vancouver

About me A world traveler and one to take the path less trodden. I got the travel bug from my father and can remember always going to local places, recommended by locals for locals for the best food, drink and sights where ever we traveled. Currently I work in marketing but with a love of travel and an eye for a cool local spots I'm always up for sharing my knowledge. ...
""Fife Bakery" in Vancouver is truly a gem. My favorites are the country bread (amazing grilled cheese sandwiches) and the to-die-for canéles!"

Truly a gem of a bakery, located in an industrial neighborhood near the Olympic Village and a host of breweries, but worth the trip. Organic, locally sourced and hand-made bread, pastries, pantry items and additional coffee shop make this a regular stop on my shopping trips.

I go for my favorites, the country bread makes amazing sandwiches: I use it for grilled cheese, their meatballs with overnight sauce and their get-there-early-to-get-them canelés. The canelés are to die for and their blueberry muffins for breakfast are just as good. Frankly, all the items I’ve tried I’ve gone back for seconds, thirds, fourths... I have further taken their breads and apple pie to family events and they have been a big hit.

If you can’t make it to the bakery early, do follow them on Instagram (@fifebakery) and order ahead of time via their link, as they sell out of everything fast and they also advertise special menu additions that do not show up on their website.

Currently I work in marketing but with a love of travel and an eye for a cool local spots I'm always up for sharing my knowledge. Why Vancouver? The west coast of Canada and Vancouver have a very different feel than the rest of the country. It's the most temperate place in all of Canada and lends itself to a lot of outd...
