All points for location. In the summer time if you want to be in the middle of all the Robson action and still find a nice corner to sip you cup of joe, this is the best location.
No comments on the coffee but it's pretty standard!
Breka is a European bakery with several locations around Vancouver. We visited the downtown Vancouver location during a weekend for a meetup with some old friends. Before coming, we read that this place is always busy and would be hard to find seating. We must have came at the right time as we were able to find a few empty tables. They also have a long communal table on the North side of the bakery. Overall, the bakery was very spacious and nicely renovated with bright lights and large windows.
Great café for studying, relaxing, and enjoying time with friends! It should also be noted that this café is open 24 hours a day, so time will never really be a concern if you're wondering when they close.
I spent about five hours here studying for an exam, and it is pretty much busy 'round the clock. Every time I'd look up, the lineup for food and coffee is about 20 people long. Make sure to get here early to get a seat, or you could just get lucky and catch someone about to leave their table.
I had the chocolate hazelnut donut and the hedgehog mocha. Yeah, I did decide to treat myself. The donut was okay, I expected something a little more original than a yeast donut filled with nutella, but it tasted great nonetheless. The hedgehog mocha was excellent; I am a fan of flavoured coffee, and while you could taste the coffee, you could definitely taste the hedgehog chocolate in there, and I loved every sip.
Bottom line, I will definitely be coming back! Go and give Breka a try sometime.
