Our city’s kaleidoscopic dining scene includes hundreds of tempting restaurants. But Richmond is also home to a diverse and innovative menu of delicious independent bakeries just waiting to be discovered. Looking for a great comfort food snack stop? Check out our handpicked local bakery guide––complete with suggested treats to try at each.
LITTLE FOX BAKEHOUSE
President Plaza, #1180 – 8181 Cambie Road, Richmond, BC
The glass cabinets at this busy bakery counter are teeming with irresistible sweet treats. Little Fox’s top-seller is the utterly amazing salted egg yolk custard double-baked croissant, a rich, dense, cake-like filled pastry that is best shared between two people (although you should expect to fight over the final morsels). It’s not just about croissants, though, check out the filigree fine pastries and decadent large cakes. If you’re hungry for more, round out your delicious journey with must-try eats from the President Plaza food court.
DAILY DELICIOUS BAKERY
#110 – 2811 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
A five-minute walk from the Canada Line’s Bridgeport Station, this small, super-friendly little nook is loved by in-the-know-locals. They come for its buttery Asian fusion croissants in intriguing flavours such as yuzu and masago as well as its delicious soft buns including the popular salted egg yolk and mochi variety. But don’t leave without trying their signature creation: soft, chewy and utterly perfect sea salt buns that will have you quickly planning a return visit.
THE SWEET SPOT
#110 – 12000 First Avenue, Richmond, BC
This tiny corner patisserie in Steveston is brimming with house-baked treats from glistening fruit tarts to creamy chiffon cake slices. Arrive early for the best selection, since they often sell out, and be sure to pick-up a hearty cookie from one of the countertop jars if you’re already feeling peckish (chocolate chunk recommended). Still hungry? Their quiches are perhaps the best in the Lower Mainland, with two or three varieties freshly prepared every day.
MAPLE CASTELLA BAKERY
Admiralty Centre, #1068 – 8700 McKim Way, Richmond, BC
It’s easy to miss this small, unassuming Taiwanese bakery unless you know exactly where it is. But it’s well-worth hunting down for it’s super-tempting array of everything from peanut buns to curry pastries and from pork floss rolls to butterfly-shaped coconut buns. It’s their utterly delicious taro bread loaves that we really love. Marbled with sweet taro paste and baked to golden perfection, it’s a comfort food classic.

KAM DO BAKERY
#120 – 4328 Number 3 Rd, Richmond, BC
#130 – 6211 Number 3 Rd, Richmond, BC
With two conveniently located city-centre branches, it’s easy to find time for a pit-stop visit to this bright and shiny Asian bakery mini-chain. A great place to pick up some snacks for the road, you’ll find rows of well-priced, individually packaged goodies here, ranging from sweet choices such as egg tarts and pineapple buns to glistening savoury options including shredded pork buns and sausage and cheese buns.
PUREBREAD
Vancouver International Airport, 3211 Grant McConachie Way, Richmond, BC
Travelling through YVR is much tastier than it used to be––thanks to the 2023 arrival of one of B.C.’s favourite homegrown bakery businesses. Located in the heart of the International Departures area, you’ll find a teeming countertop selection that often includes raspberry white chocolate scones, salted caramel brownie pies and––our go-to favourite––lemon coconut bars. The huge choice might seem bewildering at first glance, but everything is a winner here! Want more airport eats?
