Beloved local bakery chain closes Vancouver location
Purebread Bakery has announced that it has closed its West 4th location after a two-year run.
“After almost two wonderful years of getting to know you, weāve made the difficult decision to close our Purebread West 4th location on 29th March 2026,” wrote the bakery. “Weāre incredibly grateful to this neighbourhood and to everyone who stopped in for coffee, pastries, and a chat. We loved serving you all. Some once a week, some once a day or even just as a once off!”

Purebread got its start as a small stall at the Whistler Farmers Market 15 years ago. Since then, it has opened eight locations across Metro Vancouver and the Sea-to-Sky.
The bakery also shared that the baristas at its West 4th location will still be around at other Purebread locations.
“Thank you so much for being part of our story. We look forward to seeing you again soon!”
