Creme de la Crumb
Unit 150 – 4370 Still Creek Dr, Burnaby
Found along Still Creek Avenue, this cafe is one of five locations scattered throughout the Lower Mainland. A local chain, Creme de la Crumb started as a small bakeshop and catering service, aiming to provide delicious goods alongside favourite morning beverages. Today, Creme de la Crumb still serves the same great pastries and coffee but now in cities like Richmond, Burnaby, and Vancouver. The Still Creek Creme de la Creme is a great choice for both dine in and catering. Grab a breakfast bagel, your choice of a hot beverage, and a scone that will literally send your taste buds to heaven. If you’re hosting an event, be sure to check out their catering menu which features custom cakes offered by Creme de la Crumb’s sister company, Bluebird Cakery.
Prado Cafe

Prado coffee is a favourite of any Vancouverite. Known for its excellent quality and exemplary service, there’s a reason why Prado Coffee is many people’s choice for their morning caffeine fix.

Prado also serves pastries and baked goods in case you’re feeling a bit peckish during your visit. One of the best parts of this location is the amount of space.
