Reviews summary

Nestled in the heart of Yaletown, B49 Bakery and Coffee has quickly garnered a loyal following for its Japanese cheese tarts, cream puffs, and cheesecakes. The warm, flaky crust of the cheese tarts, available in both original and unique flavors, pairs delightfully with rich fillings. While some flavor combinations leave room for improvement, the overall quality justifies the premium prices. The freshly piped cream puffs are a must-try, offering a crispy exterior and flavorful filling. Despite occasional long lines and limited seating, this bakery is a dessert lover's paradise worth visiting again and again.

Was Joseph Griffin at Bake49 a mag?

Long line. Feels bad when the person in front of you clears out the entirety of one item.That said, the tarts were good and its packaging was also multi-tiered and fancy. The cheesecake was very delicious, with different textures and a nice balance of flavors. Premium price for premium quality. View all feedback.

What Alice L dislikes about Bake49:

I arrived just as the cheese tarts were being served to see what all the buzz was about. It was my first time trying a cheese tart, and although it was warm and flaky, the tartness of the cheese didn't quite mix well with the black sesame. The combination was a bit strange, with the savory and sweet flavors not quite harmonizing. View all feedback.

Bake49 used to be our favourite go-to coffee and pastry shop at Yaletown. 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.

I have seen many people raving about the delicious desserts at Bake49 on Instagram, so I was eager to finally give it a try. 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 sampled the cheese tart and cream puff. Both were quite enjoyable, though not particularly unforgettable or irresistible. If we happen to be nearby, we may stop in again. The tarts are especially delicious when served warm.

I have been going to B49 once a week for the past 2.5 years and every drink or pastry I've tried has been amazing! You can tell the care and quality they put into each product. All of my co-workers love this place as well and we will always choose to get our weekly treats here : thank you so much B49!

Delicious cream puffs and cheese tarts. Make sure to go right at 2 PM because some flavors sell out. Original ones are the best in my opinion. Croissants are great too, especially dirty chocolate.

The drinks and desserts were delicious! they were not so overly sweet, just the right amount sweet! best were the waiters friendly, so I guess that's the best part? I'd like to go back! I want to try all the different aromes of brot!

I like to load this with taking the lack of engagement between personal customers, I know that it could be because it take away (take out) just, but I think it could be better, even it is limited when ordering, except I enjoy the sorts. btw, check the open hours as it is only open for a few hours.

Long line. feels bad when the person before them erases the totality of an article. that said the tarts were good and his packaging was also multi-layered and fantasies. the cheesecake was very delicious, with different textures and a beautiful balance of aromen. Premium Award for Premium Quality.

I wish I wanted to ask the cheesecake before the time, because I was told that he was sold out when I came there at 2 when the teas were ready. they were pretty good, icy latte with milk was a bit too strong for me, service was good?

What an incredible find! The cheese tarts (every day at 2pm) are some of the best treats I've ever had.This place has quickly become my favorite bakery in Yaletown.
