Description

Welcome to The Bench Bakehouse, where the timeless art of French baking meets local craftmanship and creativity. Inspired by the charm and elegance of French.

Our journey began with a simple belief that great bread and pastries has the power to connect people and create unforgettable moments. Our bakery opened in January 2019 and we are passionate about bread and pastries.

The co-founder left successful careers and set off to discover the secrets to French bread and pastry at the prestigious Ecole Gastronomique Belllouet Conseil in Paris, France. Travelling thru Europe, immersing themselves in the culture, while sampling countless pastries and baguettes, inspired them to return to Vancouver and start THE BENCH BAKEHOUSE.

We also believe in making everything from scratch, fresh and high quality in ingredients. All of our bread are maid with whole grains, sourced from Canadian farms.There are never any additives in our bread , mamy of our grains are organic and milled onsite, in order to retain as many nutrients as possible.

Our process is slow, using natural levain, and slowly fermenting each loaf over days. The result is very flavorful crumb and thick caramelized crust.
