Food Scene

Open 24 hours a day, Breka is my favourite bakery in Vancouver. Open 24/7 for all of your coffee, donut, and sandwich desires. Breka is our go-to spot for bread as well. We buy day-old bread for around $2.00-$2.50. Our favourites are Sovital and Bauernbrot. On a typical day we'll stop in for an Americano or a Mocha with an apple fritter (which are our tried and true staples). The apple fritters are huge and more than enough to share. My only qualm with the apple fritters is that I wish there were more apples actually inside.

There are 73 kms of trails in Pacific Spirit Park which are perfect for walking or trail running. Many of the trails are open to dogs, cyclists and equestrians so be courteous and watch out for the odd road apple. You may even see an owl or coyote. If you do see a coyote they will be more afraid of you than you of them.
