Enjoying a nice warm coffee or tea with a delicious snack is a part of the day that most people look forward to. It’s the time where we take our focus off work or school to unwind and enjoy a book or conversation. Vancouver’s got plenty of bakeries and cafes that help people to do that but there’s only a few spots that consider every detail behind their food and drinks. One of the best bakeries in Vancouver, “To Live For” is located at 1508 Nanaimo Street and they live up to their name. Some of the most delicious bites to eat and addictive beverages are served here.

They’ve got a small space with an aesthetically pleasing design where they serve delicious items. They’re open every day of the week from 7AM to 5PM. Which is plenty of time to stop by and find out why their stuff tastes so good. The founder, Erin Ireland started baking as a way to give her friends gifts. The reviews she got for her banana bread was incredible and she couldn’t ignore the potential business opportunity. She opened “To Die For Fine Foods” and used her passion for baking to learn more about the craft.

Her research made her realize that most bakeries use products that promote animal cruelty and it made her uncomfortable with the idea of being live these other bakeries. She spent a lot of time researching and experimenting with using vegan products for baking and she found a way to do it. Not just that, she made it taste better than before. This prompted the idea to change the name of the place to, “To Live For Bakery”. She took the idea and ran with it. She came up with innovative ways to bake the most unbelievable vegan goods. Even if you’re not a vegan, you have to be at least a little curious about how it tastes.
