Starting out as a catering company (a service they still provide), The Sweetery offers up this full service cafe to the outskirts of the industrial lower Mount Pleasant area. They employ traditional French baking techniques with a twist and bake everything in house with the freshest ingredients without the need for artificial colors, preservatives and flavours.
Chock full of tables that can be pushed together for a few moms and strollers there are also three high chairs for your little ones at this kid-friendly Vancouver bakery. There is a plan for a change table in the bathroom and if you’re kidlets are hankering for something more simple than the gourmet sandwiches and salads on offer, The Sweetery is keen to accommodate.
