Batard Boulangerie & Cafe Moderne

Market loaf, I need not to say anymore of this place.
But I probably should since it's just amazing! Every weekend. My go to place for the market loaf. 1 , 2 amd sometimes 3 loaves. It's baked fresh everyday . And let me just say... the best bread I have ever had in my life.
The cafe is also very cute and there are some vegan items on the menu every weekend. But to be honest, I just want bread.
They sell things in a to-go case cooler and random nick knack.
Oh Batard . How I love your bread.

Really nice French themed coffee shop on Fraser.

Parking is available on the side streets.

The inside looks almost like a time capsule. I could close my eyes and pretend I was in Europe. Lots of old portraits nad clocks on the walls.

Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints.

The coffee here is pretty solid. So good I ended up having too.

They also have a small grocery and bread section. They also have some cafe style food such as sandwiches.

My only complaint is that their hours are super short. Now I know why I never knew this place existed. It would be closed before most people get off work.

A great place to spend an early afternoon, but not a late one. Recommended.

Our new favourite bakery! We had an incredible cream of mushroom soup with bread and the brie & peach panini. Fantastic, as are the pastries (OMG those croissants!) and coffee drinks.

This place has a lovely store as well that has takeaway food and an assortment of baking goodies and supplies - including those luxurious French cherries in syrup and our favourite coffee beans. Also love the decor - cool art and furniture.

Delicious. Nothing bad here...literally! The store has the most lovely selection of treasures. Reasonably priced and luxurious array!
The cafe side is equally unflawed. It's like a little holiday inside with the hustle and bustle of patrons. Love it!

Such a cute little cafe nestled on Fraser! I love the storefront and the vibe inside. We visited early morning on a weekend, and it wasn't too busy, but their menu doesn't start until 10 am. They have a little shop section inside for interesting ingredients. (Baguette and take-home soup for lunch were super tempting!) They also sell bread by loaf and half-loaf.

We had the truffle potato galette, tomato artichoke galette, and pumpkin tart. (Don't quote me on the names. I can't remember exactly.) They were all delicious, but my favorite was the tomato artichoke galette. The pumpkin tart was amazing and not overly sweet. Perfectly balanced and decadent.

The white hot chocolate was good, but I think I'm just not a fan of white hot chocolate. I recommend it if you want a really creamy, milky flavor.

I'll be back after 10 am to try some stuff on their menu!

My mom and I decided to go to this cafe last minute during a trip to BC and it was probably one of the best choices we've made.

On the outside, the cafe is a quaint and quirky space with kitchen goods creating the aisles where you wait to order. They have cheeses, eggs, and other produce to purchase there as well. While I really wanted to order one of their sandwiches (so many people had them and it looked amazing), it was already close to lunch so my mom and I ordered pastries and a coffee instead. The americano was smooth. And when I say smooth, I mean smoooooth. Absolutely delicious with a splash of cream.

We also got the lemon puff, a puff pastry dessert with lemon curd, the tomato and brie pastry, and the fruit danish. The lemon puff was so addicting and my favorite. The custard inside wasn't too sweet and it was filled quite a bit. I'm absolutely going back when I get a chance.

First time.
Friendly staff and they offered great advice.
Wonderful decorated cafe with table and bench seating.
Cappuccino was well made and had a nice latte art with a continuous caffeine kick.
Desserts look great and were very tasty. The Honey Bun has a nice honey custard filling with a lightly sugared outside similar to a croissant/amann. The lemon tart is very lemony with a solid graham crust.
All in all, a great find.

Such an amazing place with a loud environment full of life!!

My patient introduced me to this place but after nearly a year, I've decided to check it out.

The selection but full and the fridge was filled with a wide selection to choose from!

The line was moving quickly, so I wasn't able to completely sneak a peak on all the available products.

Will be back to take my time next time!! Wasn't able to get a cup of coffee today, but will be sure to make that happen next time!

The pastries were soo fresh and melted in our mouths!! Just like how I remembered it a year ago!!!

Ahh one of the best pastries I've been to in Vancouver!!!

10/10 incredible!!!

Came in for lunch. Delicious bread as always. Service is friendly. Prices seem a little higher but that may just reflect the higher cost of food in general. $25 per person for sandwiches coffee and pastries. Pastries here never miss. Always pick up a loaf of bread to take home. The tables are usually full but the customers don't mind sharing.

Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Food: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

As someone who hits up a new bakery almost each week - I can confidently say that this is my absolute FAVOURITE bakery in Vancouver! From a cute interior to a huge selection of goods and delicious treats, it really has it all.

The cafe is set up so that you line up from the entrance and order your food and you can choose to eat it there (with some limited seating available) or take it to go. On the weekends this spot can get really busy with lines out the door but typically they go by quickly or you can choose to come earlier in the morning to avoid the crowds.

We've tried a bunch of their items including the almond croissant, tarte au citron, honeycomb, spelt loaf and market loaf. If you're only going to grab 1 pastry and 1 bread if you go, I definitely recommend the honeycomb and market loaf! Once you have this loaf you'll never go back - it's perfect for sandwiches, or eating just with plain ol' butter - they can even slice it for you if you ask!

As for the service, everyone has always been super quick and nice so no issues on that front either. Always happy to go back to this spot!
