Sweet spots to satisfy your brownie cravings in Vancouver
Got a hankering for the ooey-gooey chocolatey goodness that only brownies can deliver? Don’t even think about picking up a pre-made mix from the grocery store; these local dessert destinations serve up homemade, melt-in-your-mouth brownies that'll have you reaching for a glass of milk.
Purebread
159 Hastings St W, Vancouver BC V6B 1H4The lemon chèvre brownies at this Gastown bakeshop are the stuff of legends. Originally from Whistler, Purebread is winning over the hearts (and stomachs) of downtown Vancouverites thanks to its delectable selection of baked goods, both sweet and savoury. The signature brownie is an interesting riff on the childhood classic; the creamy chèvre cheese gives the treat a rich, moist consistency while the addition of lemon creates a light, refreshing flavour. For brownie purists, there’s an outrageous all-chocolate version as well.
Crème de la Crumb
1215 Clark Dr, Vancouver BC V5L 3K6Say goodbye to your diet – at least for this week. Once you’ve had a taste of the home-made brownies at Creme De La Crumb, eating healthy and balanced foods will suddenly take a backseat. The desserts at this East Van bakery are custom made so you won’t find them anywhere else in Vancouver. Special attention goes into the sweet, moist chocolate-packed brownies. The friendly service and village vibe make it impossible to leave with anything but a smile on your face.
Cafe Trafiq
4216 Main St, Vancouver BC V5V 3P9There are two types of people in this world: those who like cake and those who like brownies. Luckily, Trafiq doesn’t discriminate and has baked treats to satisfy every kind sweet tooth – but their brownies are the big winner in our opinion. While others ooh and aah over the impressive cakes on display, skip to the front of the line and pick up an incredibly rich, chocolatey brownie that’ll leave you satisfied for days. There are healthier food options here as well, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Terra Breads
53 5th Ave W, Vancouver BC V5Y 1H4When you’re killing time at the Olympic Village Ferry Dock, pop into Terra Breads for a scrumptious brownie. This café takes care of all your food needs, from pizza and artisan baked breads to freshly brewed coffee and, of course, brownies. Customer service is top-notch, no matter if you’re popping in to grab a quick dessert or unpacking your laptop and staying awhile. There are also three other locations to gorge on brownies: Kitsilano, Granville Island and Mount Pleasant.
Cadeaux Bakery Inc
172 Powell St, Vancouver BC V6A 1G1Ask any Vancouverite to name their favourite bakery, and the answer will likely be Cadeaux. This Gastown hotspot is light, bright and airy, with minimalist modern décor that includes a pretty wallpapered focal wall and round light fixtures. It opens at 8:00 am during the week (9:00 am on weekends) so you can get their brownie fix before work. Save your money for the three different kinds of brownies available: dark chocolate, cream cheese swirl and salted caramel.
