Last Saturday, I convinced my fiance to accompany me to this Japanese bakery located on Mainland St in Vancouver's Yaletown area. Situated across from Earls, Bake49 specializes in cheese tarts and has quickly gained popularity, with long lineups out the door since its opening. We were lucky to arrive right when it opened at 1pm and didn't have to wait in line to place our order. We decided to try the Croquant Choux, a crunchy almond-crust pastry filled with vanilla bean custard creme. The exterior was crispy and slightly sweet, while the vanilla bean interior had a rich yet not overly sweet flavor that I enjoyed, as I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts. Although the prices at Bake49 are a bit on the higher side, such as the Sapporo style Japanese cheese tarts at $3.80 each or 6 for $19, I believe that the quality justifies the cost. I look forward to returning to Bake49 to sample more of their offerings and highly recommend it to fellow dessert lovers.

We would frequent this on Saturday mornings and buy their Einspanner or Dalgona Lattes, paired with berry croissants and their delectable and unique cream puffs. However, over time, they seem to have staffing issues, then the shop was always closed for long periods of time (a full month at one time), and upon reopening, they seem to have changed to a new bagel concept which unfortunately doesn’t have the same flavours and delicious menu selections as before. I miss the old Bake49. Photos and videos were taken before their menu changed.
