Better Bakes and Eats has been a part of North Vancouver for over 60 years. Originally founded by a family with a deep love for traditional German bread, the bakery became known for its hearty loaves, handmade quality, and loyal community following.
It was passed down through two generations of the original family, then carefully transitioned through the hands of local owners who each honoured its roots while adding their own touch.
We’re proud to be the fourth owners of this beloved shop. As a family with a passion for real food, local connection, and keeping traditions alive, we’re committed to preserving the bakery’s legacy — while slowly introducing fresh ideas, artisanal techniques, and the kinds of products we’d want on our own tables.
At Better Bakes and Eats, it’s still all about honest ingredients, warm bread, and that feeling of walking into your neighbourhood bakery where you’re remembered.

Top Sellers
Handmade daily using traditional Iranian techniques, this flatbread is a customer favourite that sells out every day. Our Barbari recipe was passed down step by step by an experienced Iranian baker, with over 100 hours of hands-on training given to our team. It’s baked fresh with a golden, crisp crust and a soft, airy center, perfect for sandwiches, dipping, or enjoying on its own.
Made with a wild starter that’s over 50 years old, our sourdough is naturally fermented using time, care, and tradition. The long fermentation makes it easier to digest and may be gentler on gluten-sensitive stomachs. With every batch, we feed and nurture this living culture to produce a loaf that’s tangy, chewy, and full of character.
Our rye breads are made without wheat and rely on traditional slow fermentation for their deep, earthy flavour and dense, satisfying texture. Naturally high in fibre and nutrients, rye supports digestion and may help regulate blood sugar. These hearty loaves are crafted for those who want real bread with substance — no fluff, no fillers.
Our sandwich breads are soft, simple, and made fresh without preservatives — unlike most store-bought loaves. Whether white or whole wheat, each slice is perfect for everyday toast, sandwiches, or snacking. Just real ingredients, made the old-fashioned way.
From classic Kaiser and burger buns to soft dinner rolls and hearty whole wheat subs, our buns are baked fresh with no preservatives. We make them in singles or packs of six — perfect for family meals, BBQs, or sandwiches on the go. Simple ingredients, real texture, and flavour you won’t find in mass-produced bread.
Delicious Lunches and Snacks
Silky mortadella, aged cheese, arugula, and fresh tomato come together on our freshly baked Barbari bread, finished with a touch of mayo and mustard. It’s a bold, no-nonsense sandwich — crisp, creamy, savoury, and satisfying.
Golden, buttery sourdough grilled to perfection with layers of melted aged cheddar and mozzarella. Made with our 50-year-old starter, this is comfort food done right — crisp on the outside, gooey in the middle, and nothing artificial.
