BG Urban Cafe

Good coffee. Nice clean café. Staff friendly & busy preparing food. Maybe thats for the catering business. Food served here is one step up from fast food chain and not as costly as other sit down places near by. Maybe food is prepared off site and reheated here. Nevertheless if you want something healthy & quick & reasonably priced this café is ok. The cinnamon buns are very good. Messy & sticky the way I like it

My first review ever…
As you walk past the café in the morning, you can’t help but stop and breath in the lovely sweet smell of freshly baked sticky cinnamon knots. One whiff of this glorious sweet nutty, cinnamonny smell, and you have no choice but to go into the shop and get one of these delicious knots. It is well worth the cheat to your diet! Along with their amazing knots, they also have freshly baked muffins which are also good, and cheese scones, which i quite like, even though they aren’t the traditional kind.
That being said, since my first visit to this café, i have noticed a few things about the west Pender location.
Although the start of my review i did rave about their delicious baked goods, but it has been a few months since my first visit into this shop, and i’m noticing a downfall in the freshness of these breakfast items.
The knots used to be laid out tray after tray, freshly baked, and cut per order. Now, they have them all cut up and stacked in a pile by the till. i find this odd, as they used to have pipping warm trays of muffins and knots up until 9am for sale, now, i find myself heading in their around 8am, and all their baked goods are cold and seem kinda old.
I’m sure not all locations fall short, as this one seems to have, but all in all, i would still recommend you try other locations out. Cinnammon knots are worth a visit, or two…
Giving this place 2 stars because my first visit was great, however, it has since been not so pleasant, so i cannot warrant higher than 2.

overpriced, but convenient, since i work on the second floor of the building.
their breakfast sandwiches/​wraps used to be better a few years ago, the samosas are actually pretty good (they come with a mango chutney sauces that’s delicious), the sandwiches are pretty legit, and the mac and cheese is classic… but definitely not worth how much they charge for everything. i do love the spinach-​feta croissant though (even though it’s like $ 4 and not that big).
the coffee’s not that bad either, but honesty, everything is probably the same quality of tim hortons, and just a million times more expensive.

I know Bread Garden or now known as BG Urban Café is trying to revamp their image. Does it sound trendier or make me want to eat here? Nah, after I tried their food one more time, it’s still the same. It’s Bread Garden.
I mean, it’s not disgusting, but the sandwiches doesn’t taste as fresh as they should be to me. The prices are definitely not worth what you get. I guess they wanted to rename it BG Urban Café so it’s not about their bread. I’m sure everything is made and packaged off site and then shipped to the stores. If it isn’t, then that’s just sad the way the bread tastes.
