After 15 years in the Vancouver pie business, Tartine still serves up some of the best pie in Vancouver and at some of the best prices, too. The salted caramel apple pie is a long-standing favourite, and the sour cherry is sprinkled with just the right amount of sugar. The shop is perfectly positioned for a break after a walk on the Seawall.
Sweet dreams come true at this Beach Avenue bakery. But while Tartine might be known for its delicious baked goods and fruit-filled pies, you’ll also find a number of lunch items on the menu. Sandwiches, quiches, homemade soups, savoury meat pies and yes, a delicious beef chili, all make the perfect warm-up course to enjoy before tucking into a sugary treat. The hearty beef chili is available daily and manages to strike a perfect balance – it’ll fill you up without leaving you stuffed, which means you’ll have plenty of room for dessert.
Tucked away on Beech Ave, this charming neighbourhood bakery specializes in pies, breads, muffins, tarts and sweet treats made from natural, high quality ingredients. Owner Jo-Ann Turford started baking out of her own kitchen and has now been serving up sweet family recipes at her beloved bakeshop for more than 10 years. Her classic cinnamon buns are nostalgic in nature: dense doughy buns are swirled with raisins and cinnamon and topped with cream cheese icing. After you indulge, take a stroll on the nearby Seawall and try to burn off a few calories while enjoying the views along English Bay.
