Delicious! We stopped in for a snack for our drive and got a white chocolate raspberry scone and a vanilla apricot scone with a pour over coffee. Scones were out of this world! Tasty but not too sweet. Crumbly but not dry. Perfection in a scone. Thank you!

Wow, this place has SO many items to choose from it was seriously hard to just pick a few. I tried the morning glory and a spinach and tomato fretata… both incredible! Extremely nice staff and all around cute little shop!

If there was nothing else in Whistler beside Purebread and Whistler Brewing Company, we would still drive here from California twice a year! You can’t go wrong at Purebread unless you don’t eat carbs — get a carrot at the grocery store instead. If you like pastries, bread, and all the other lovely things full of carbohydrates, there is something for you here. There are even a few gluten-free options, so really, if you can’t find something you like here, it’s your own darn fault! I love, love, love the chocolate-bottom banana bread, and the cream in the cinnamon cream bun is so decadent and full of fresh vanilla bean that you’ll think you died and went to heaven. I’ve also had the raspberry pistachio cream tart(not sure the actual name but it was a lovely crispy phyllo covered in vanilla cream and topped with fresh raspberries and roasted pistachios. I mean, really, this stuff is good!

Great coffee and indulgent cheese toasties. The bacon jam cheese toastie gets an A+…just don’t think about the calories. Still had to queue for around 5 minutes and waited around 10 minutes for food at 11am on a Sunday morning but was well worth the wait. The place will be on to a winner if they could invest in another toastie maker or two.

I haven’t tried the full breadth of what Purebread has to offer, but just from a visual perspective, they offer some very amazingly delicious baked goods. What I do know is that(1) the staff here are amazingly friendly and just very helpful in general and(2) they do make a pretty mean loaf of bread. Since i was just passing by and decided on the dysfunctional ale bread which uses beer from the Whistler Brewing Company right across the street. Upon getting the bread, you can immediately tell that this is a dense loaf. Breaking into it, it has a nice crust with a semi fuffy, semi dense interior that is perfect for dipping. The bread itself doesn’t taste like beer, but it definitely has some wheat-y, nutty tones to it that I really enjoyed. I’m looking forward to dropping by this place again and trying out some of the other delicious items that they have here!

Carb Heaven! I always come here to grab the disfunction bread(aka beer bread). It is a very healthy tasting sour dough bread made with whistler beer. It is a must try item. I haven’t tried their coffee yet, but last time I was there I saw how the coffee was made. I will make sure i go back and try the coffee next time and update my review!

Oh my god, this place is the best bakery I’ve seen, probably ever. I was skeptical as my friend pulled me into this shop as I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Often times, I find really cute treats that just taste like it’s chocked full of sugar and Purebread is definitely the exception to this. All of their treats look like they are made with passion and a love for actually eating the treats, rather than just looking at them. I had the brownie with a layer of raspberry cheesecake inbetween and it was just to die for. I could not stop eating it. It was not overly sugary and just so decadent. I also tried a bite of a vegan loaf and it was so moist, I’m not sure how it’s possible. Again, delicious, flavourful and not overly sweet. This is definitely my kind of bakery and I wish there were more bakeries like this where I live.

Seems like I have to go and be solo and give this place 3 stars… I didn’t know baked goods could have such a big following! The décor is very minimalistic and I was surprised that they don’t have a location in the village but rather in an industrial area off the highway. I mean nothing is more enjoyable than walking on the highway and stopping by for a scone… so star taken off for bad location. Anyways the only reason I drove by was because a friend highly recommended their sour cherry scones… so while in Rome I decided to do as Romans:) Unfortunately, they were out of the sour cherry scone so I opted to try their basil and sun dried tomato scone, which was like a small slice of pizza. I have to say the consistency of the bread was good but nothing out of this world!

I am not messing with the roll of 5 star reviews of this place. SOWELLDESERVED! While I haven’t been to the Gastown location yet, both Whistler locations have been consistent in 1. friendly service, 2. sensory overload for my eyes/nose/mouth, and 3. adding a few more inches to my waist. And let me say — I am NOT complaining. There is no other place to get a scone than here, I’ve tried most of them — the sour cherry buckwheat, earl grey lavendar, blueberry lemon basil, white chocolate raspberry, apricot vanilla bean. am I missing any? It is so hard to choose a favourite as they are ALLEQUALLY bursting with flavours… seriously, they should call this place Purescone. $ 4 for a scone may seem a little much but it’s worth it and you get both quality and quantity. Woman cannot live by a scone a day but when I am itching for a craving, I am very happy that there is now a location a little closer to home.

This is the best bakery around and their coffee is excellent too. The variety is incredible and while not cheap, neither are the ingredients, which you can taste. The sticky ginger loaf is not to be missed but there’s so many other sweets I want to try. They have another location in Whistler Village. We now make a habit of stopping at their Function Junction location on the trip home to Vancouver.

I have very high standards for bakeries which means I am disappointed quite a bit in Vancouver(but not in Paris). This bakery nails it! I don’t remember everything I had here so I’m obviously due for some more«research». I do recall I tried savoury and sweet though and both were perfectly achieved. My into. to the bakery was their first location at Function Junction, a little hut of bakery bliss where they pour your coffee through individual ceramic cone filters lined up over cups on the countertop, very old school in the best sense of the phrase. I am especially impressed by the huge variety of baked goods they offer. I believe they even make hearty breads too. Since everything is up to their high standard it makes it very hard to choose, so the only solution is to spend a long time on the visual feast and then select several to sample. The«adults only» cookies are pretty special; edgy with dark chocolate, rosemary and scintillating sea-salt. The cheddar chive scones are chewy caky bliss bombs too. It would take you a long time to try everything here so I suggest we all do a little research of our own and compare notes. ..

My favourite bakery ever. I have been to this location, their Whistler one(before the fire), and to their stand at the Kitsilano Farmers Market. I’m so happy that they’ll be opening a location in Vancouver! The creations you’ll find at Purebread are one of a kind, delicious, and comforting. My favourites are the lavender earl grey scone and the adults only cookie(a salted chocolate cookie with rosemary – yum!). I have tried their bread and dessert loaves as well, and everything has been amazing. The best way I can describe their products is to say that they are baked with love!

They had a tent setup by the playground area apparently because they’re in the midst of moving store fronts. Still had an incredible selection of baked goods. Cash only, although they didn’t turn down my American dollars. Here’s what I tried: — morning glory: best dang cinnamon roll ever! Super cinnamon-y and fluffy. I could eat a dozen of these! — spinach corn bread: with chunks of corn and more savory than sweet. Again, very moist and fluffy, incredibly flavorful. –salted caramel bar: not very salty, but still very good. — berries brioche: I feel like a broken record but again, very fluffy and moist, but with a slightly crunchy outer layer. It had whole berries baked in. — banana coffee muffin: I’m not a huge fan of banana-flavored things but this was pretty unique and yummy They had an item called crack, which I Didn’t try but way to call it what it is!

This is the best bakery ever, hands down. Working close by I’ve had the opportunity to try pretty much everything they make, which is a wide range of treats that will please any sweet tooth. They usually have a few savoury options available too, pour over coffee and of course their loaves which all taste as amazing as they sound. The raspberry brownies(in fact, all of the brownies) are incredible, I’m also a big fan of the earl grey lavender scones but you can’t go wrong with anything here, choosing just one thing will be one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever have to make. The Function Junction location has a few bar stools inside and seating for 2 to 4 outside, the décor is beautiful and simple and they have a few packaged items that would make for great gifts for those you feel sorry for back home who missed out. There are usually a few gluten free options too. Take as many people as you can find so you can try as many things as possible!

So this review is actually for their pop up shop located at the Whistler Lodge Marketplace at the Village. They are there temporarily for the 13 – 14 winter season. Even for a pop up, the set up is extremely adorable. They’ve got all their loaves of bread and pastries laid out and you see them as soon as you walk into the door. The pastries are amazing. Each and every one of them look delicious and decadent and I wanted to try each and every one them. Sadly I didn’t have the stomach space to so so. After pondering for many many minutes, I finally settled on the earl grey lavender scone, the pecan sticky bun, and the spinach & feta brioche pastry. The scone was one of the best scones I’ve ever had. Each bite had yummy hints of lavender and earl grey and it was gigantic! The sticky bun was sticky and mighty tasty. And the spinach & feta pastry was one of the best savory pastries I’ve ever had. It even had pine nuts in it, which I love! Everything I picked out was amazing. I wish I had gotten more! They had lots more pastries and cookies. And I really wanted to get a loaf of bread — all the flavors sounded so amazing, especially the potato/rosemary one. I can’t wait to come back to Whistler so I can come back to purebread. Next time, purebread will be my first stop so that I have pastries and bread stocked up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They also have coffee and tea!

Oh. My. God. Purebread is as good as it gets. I consider myself a connoisseur off almond croissants and can report that those from Purebread are among the world’s best. This whole little bakery is just heaven. Located near the marketplace in the village, it is just bursting with treats. I only tried to croissant but it was after much deliberation, because everything appeared amazing. The croissant was the perfect combination of buttery and soft on the inside, and crisp on the outside. The almond filling was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the almonds on top toasted expertly. I wish I could export these morsels!

Purebread is pure bliss! We came to this bakery because we heard rave reviews about it. My boyfriend’s client said he visited this place like twice a day when he was visiting Whistler or something frequent like that! The place is adorable and smells like an awesome bakery should smell; baked goodness. It’s located behind the Olympic rings which is easy to locate, and there are some tables outside too for those who’d like to enjoy their treats outdoors. We tried their croissant with mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and basil, another savory pie with broccoli and cheddar inside, and another sweet treat, but my fave was definitely the croissant. It was unlike any other croissant I’ve ever had and it was quite memorable. It was still good cold too! This is the perfect place to grab a quick sweet or savory snack, or even a latte or mocha because they serve espresso as well.

Heaven is hard to describe. Take a bite out of Purebread’s pastries and it become easier. We stumbled upon this place while wondering around Whistler and it must have been fate — falling into Heaven so easily! You walk in and instantly I wanted EVERYTHING — it all looked so darn good! Lucky for me I am vegan and that helped me make up my mind quite quickly about what I would choose — the only vegan item on display — the banana coconut bread. A-m-A-z-I-n-G! My husband had the blonde brownie which he said was equally amazing. This little bakery was quaint and a slice of heaven that I felt the need to come back to multiple times throughout my 2 day stay in Whistler. Service was simply wonderful and thank you Purebread for having a vegan option which allowed me to stuff my face with your goodness! What was even more fun about Purebread was on my flight back to Honolulu I sat next to a women and her daughter was a supervisor at this Purebread — what a coincidence!

Whoa, where did this place come from? Purebread is heaven. Why didn’t anyone tell me about this place earlier? Tucked away outside of the hustle and bustle of the village, Purebread is a pastry lovers’ heaven. The breads are incredible and pastries are equally as amazing. My cousin took us here(it was a massive group of 12) so I had an excellent sampling of all the different goods here. I ordered the Buckwheat Sour Cherry scone. Why? Because it sounded pretty cool. Once I had a bite of the scone, it was heavenly. The same goes for all the other pastries that I tried out. There were too many for me to remember. The price was very reasonable. About $ 3 — 4? You can bet that I’ll be coming here every time I make the trip up to Whistler. 5 stars!
