Yes. We,re Eating Again.

Located on Homer Street between Helmecken and Nelson, SVB is currently (June 13, 2020) open for take-out. Line up safely, place an order and pay at the counter and wait for your order at one of three tables designated for the purpose. It worked smoothly and we walked around the corner to Emery Barnes Park to enjoy our treats. SVB's entry in the Croissant Challenge is a Freshly Milled Buckwheat Croissant with Valrhona Dark Chocolate Bannetons. Really tasty! I'm feeling like the buckwheat added a measure of earthy flavour but it was also buttery and rich. The chocolate really added a serious punch. Try this! Of course, we had to try a couple of other things too. This Lemon Cranberry Scone could win the scone challenge if there was such a thing going on. It wasn't overly sweet and just crumbly enough. Finally, we tried an apple tart which was also tasty. Dessert for breakfast is a good thing. Lots of fruit for a small pastry and we recommend it. We completed this delicious breakfast with a decent Americano. Lots of choices here beyond even what is in the pastry case. If it was close to home, we'd add on the pounds pretty quickly I think. When they open up their dining area, it will be a great place to relax and enjoy a treat and a coffee.
This is a busy location but both times I've went, we manage to snag a table after hopping around some temporary spots on benches and random chairs. It doesnt feel catastrophic due to high ceilings. Great upbeat vibe. Almond croissant was delicious and crispy, but quite oilier than others I've had. They must put almond butter in the middle as my fingers were left greasy. The coffee is good, so i would definitely be returning regularly. I did find things to be pricey, but it is Vancouver. Both times I went, I found the separate coffee bar to be a bit confusing as I didnt know when and where I would pick up my drink. I often had the feeling they missed my order.
Review is for Granville St. Beautiful bakery. Coffee is spot on, small menu with great food presentation. Nice staff and quick service. This is close to home so will definitely be a regular stop.
Barista handle coffee beans and tea leaves with care. They are all professional. I enjoyed the coffee & the bakery items at the bar table.
Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.
After suffering bad coffee in Whistler for a week. Yes they make it in buckets with garden hoses we looked forward to some decent coffee in Vancouver. We found it. Nice good quality sandwiches and cakes. Worth a drop in. Went on a Sunday arvo, seats a bit tight. Lots of singles hogging the tables with Mac books!
The place just has a university vibe to it. Lots of one-on-one tables, people on MacBooks and chatty conversions.
The coffee is not half bad! Being an Aussie and a born coffee snob, the piccolo was up there with your above average Aussie cafes.
The sandwiches come out hot and freshly made. Good fillings and lots if taste. That bread though... delicious! The roasted pepper chicken breast was perfect to warm me up on this cold winters day. Still can feel the cajun sauce in my lips.
The salted caramel cheesecake is decadent without being to sweet. Its fluffy and creamy and goes so well with the bitterness of the coffee and the slight chili taste left over from my sandwich.
The staff are fun and energetic. The food came out quick. I like how everything comes on its own hipster serving board. No pressure to move on even though there's lines at the counter.
One thing that I miss about Melbourne whenever I'm travelling is coffee. Nothing beats the coffee culture in Melbourne, and being able to get any caffeine fix is very important to me. Enter Small Victory Bakery. This cafe/bakery reminds me of home, from the friendly laid-back service to the cafe aesthetics and also the great coffee and pastries. I got to savour the most enjoyable cup of latte since my arrival in Canada - full-bodied, balance and rich. I also got to indulge in some lovely baked goods. The bacon and cheese scones was rich and crumbly, and the almond croissant was pleasantly flaky and buttery despite being a bit dense in the middle.
I'm sure if I were in Vancouver longer, Small Victory would be my go-to cafe for coffee.
Love the coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Best place to hang out on a Saturday casual brunch. I like sitting and watching the Barista make their drip coffee and the staff busy in the back of the open kitchen.

Small Victory is a popular bakery in Downtown that I've been meaning to visit for the longest time. The place was pretty busy when I arrived there this Sunday morning, and I could see the staff members stocking the display case with a beautiful assortment of cakes, tarts, and pastries. I had a bacon & cheese croissant and a cinnamon brioche bun.
Bacon & Cheese Croissant (around $5): 5/5; It had a really flaky crust that melted in my mouth and a generous, savoury slice of bacon inside. I polished this off in no time.
Cinnamon Brioche Bun (around $5): 5/5; Again, the pastry was melt-in-my-mouth. The sugar and cinnamon coating had a perfect level of sweetness and spice, and I absolutely loved the cream cheese frosting (in my opinion, a cinnamon bun's not complete without cream cheese frosting), which was sweet and tangy, and had flecks of vanilla bean speckled throughout.
If I judged only by the food that I've tried, this place would be a 5. Unfortunately, I am turned off by the prices for their cakes and tarts: they were way too high for the portion sizes being offered. Although I would love to try one of their cheesecakes or cruffins, I just couldn't justify paying $5-$6 for something that I could probably finish in 2-3 bites. But I'd definitely be back for their delicious and more reasonably sized viennoiserie.
Fancy, pricey, yummy. Been here multiple times. Their almond croissants are my favorite thing so far. Not a fan of their regular croissants. Great place.
a bit pricey but so cute! super trendy and aesthetic cafe and pastries were very yummy. Seems super popular as it was difficult to find an empty seat! The almond croissant was incredible and i loved the croissant bites! They were executed perfectly and so cute <3 def come here if ur looking for an aesthetic cafe to go with friends
Have to stop by for a post yoga workout. Arrived around 115p so it wasn't crowded. I had the Chicken Pot Pie for lunch. Loved that flaky crust. Filling is flavorful and chunky, not a lot of gravy. I picked up some desserts to go: shortbread cookies, lemon tart, passion fruit cheesecake, strawberry tart, and pear tart because I just can't control myself and I like to share.
Friendly staff, great seating area. Outlets available at the tables.

First of all, I love the branding and look of the store - very much appreciated! Most importantly though - great pastries, sweets, and breads! My boyfriend and I got the regular croissant, an almond croissant, and a chocolate cake. All pretty great - I’d say I would skip out on the chocolate cake next time though - very rich and dense, but still great. I’d love to come back and try their croissant donuts next time! Can’t wait.
Their baked goods are delicious and I am addicted to their almond croissants. Flaky, buttery and the right flavor. Their scones are moist, flaky, and very light. The service great and I love that they have a patio extended to the street, which makes it very dog friendly.
The almond croissant was excellent, but the croissant donut with pistachio cream filling was not good. No really texture and the cream didn’t taste nice at all. Service was friendly and I would return to have the almond croissant again and try some of their other goods. It’s a pretty wide selection.

This is a cute cafe in yaletown. Great place to sit and chat with friends may it be inside or out on the patio. They got lots of pastries, desserts and brunch!
I ordered the latte with oat milk and it was really good, got the 12 ounce but it left me wanting more.
My friends got the lemon tart and double chocolate layer cake slice, while I got the chocolate chunk cookie. I’d say for what you get, everything is fairly priced in comparison to other cafes. If you get the chocolate cake slice, would definitely recommend sharing it with someone as its pretty rich and dense (in a good way) - would recommend to all chocolate lovers and it’s priced well. The lemon tart was like a lemon meringue and it was quite refreshing, but I feel a bit small for the price you pay. Lastly, the cookie was a bit on the sweeter side, which make it pair well with a coffee or tea. One thing to note was that it was quite buttery and greasy. It satisfied my cookie loving cravings though.
If you’re in the area looking for a cute cafe with a variety of food options and good coffee, come here. I really have no complaints!
Super cute bakery that has a nice aesthetic. I highly recommend their almond croissants. But, everything is super yummy here so choose whichever one speaks to you most.
There's a time limit to how long you can sit inside, but it's the perfect amount of time to enjoy a small snack and drink your coffee at the same time.
