    Service was good. Also, sandwich was good. Price was decent. Kicks the crap out of subway, etc. the bread was fresh baked and excellent.

    Ergo, stars. Four of them. Now go eat a sandwich.

    I love baguette time.

    It's just a 'hole in the wall' sandwich shop but it does what it does well. Rolls are baked fresh, on location and are often still warm when you order them. Staff is friendly and will remember you if you come by a few times. I always order the Turkey Baguette and love the dollop of cranberry sauce that they add-- delicious.

    On a hot summer day I definitely get down on a 'Screamer' as well.. which is basically half soft-serve ice-cream and half slurpee. Yum!

    (One star deducted because the interior could use a little bit of a facelift. The atmosphere isn't quiiiiiite there, even though the food & service is fab.)

    I love it, what else can I say.  I always enjoy going to Baguette time and my favorite is Breakfast time.  I always get warm welcome from Ali, and he really treat me well.
    I would go back for sure.

    Oh Baguette Time - thank god someone introduced this to me early on because this place is where it's at for sandwiches! House made pesto mayo and premium quality meats and cheeses it what Baguette Time is all about. The Salami with Brie added is my favorite guilty pleasure (not easy on the calories, I'm sure but the palate is happy!).
    They also have home made salads (pasta and potato) - get there before they are gone. My personal favorite is the pasta - spiral noodles with crunchy celery, peppers and delicious little capers. Mmmmm!

    This review isn't going to be super helpful, since I got to stand outside and wait for the BF while he got a baguette for himself and I got an ice cream. Somebody had to hold onto the dog while the other ordered right? So there I was, melting in the sun draping myself over the counter waiting for my cone.

    The BF yelled over at me how many scoops I wanted, and since it's bikini season I only said one.... boooo.... and the man scooping it up brought it right over to me. You know, sometimes it's the little things like that that can make an average place seem like a destination. I mean, he could have just handed the cone to the BF and he could have passed it on to me, but he gave me a smile and brought it over. The cone ended up being about $4.50 or so, and that waffle cone was packed to the bottom with delicious fruity cheesecake ice cream. It wasn't your typical one scoop balanced on the top of an empty cone bullshit.

    The BF loved his baguette, he goes here when I'm not around cuz he likes their sammys so much - can't say I've ever tried one myself, but I'll surely be back for ice cream, especially when summer is almost over cuz then I can have two scoops again :)

    Surprisingly, although I live just a short jot from Baguette Time I had never tried it until today. I was pleasantly pleased by the baguette that I ordered. The bread itself was very fresh and tasty. My baguette had some mayo, bocconcini, balsamic and veggies. It was delicious.

    A perfect place for a tasty lunch, or a light dinner.

    I'm such a fan of their mango chutney chicken sandwich.  This spot used to be a revolving door of businesses, but this place has held the fort for about 5 years, so that says something. I don't get anything besides the mango chutney chicken sandwich, because, well why would I? Toasted baguette, chicken, mayo, lettuce and mango chutney. It's so friggin good. They also have soft serve in a slurpee, to take you back in the day...when back in the day, actually was back in the day.

    Great place, great guy that runs it too.  Real friendly.

    This place is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the major chain sandwich shops.  I think it's the owner who I see a lot in there, so friendly, gives me a genuine thank you for coming in which goes along way for me.  
    I always get the bocconcini and tomato or turkey (and I add brie cheese).  Mmmmmm I think I'll go there today for lunch, I got myself hungry!

    * Better baguette than most spots in Vancouver *

    Sometimes the simple things in life, if done right, are the best.  

    A really good baguette is one of those.

    Many of the baguettes around town don't have a properly crispy crust.  I'm not sure why.  Perhaps it is the ovens?  

    I don't know if they have a proper steam oven here or not, but the crust was much better than many others I have had in Vancouver.  Oh, and the bread was still warm from being baked - a bonus in my book!

    Still not on par with baguettes I've had in other cities, but for Vancouver a very solid one.  

    The ham & cheese were fine.  It came with edam cheese, as well as some pesto mayo.  

    Overall a decent sandwich, with the bread being the highlight.  (Perhaps because it was just baked - don't know how it is at other times of the day, etc.)

    Chocolate soft-serve ice cream in a cone?

    Yes please!

    I actually haven't eaten any "baguettes" here, but I have been in a couple of times for their soft-serve ice cream. The chocolate is definitely yummier than the vanilla, but for skeptics, the swirl will give you a taste of both.

    The ambiance is definitely lacking, but the guys behind the counter are friendly and nice.

    Love this place. Great baguettes! You have to eat them fresh - not to-go.
    On a hot day, try one of their Screamers (soft serve and slurpee) - heaven!
    Friendly service, reasonable price.

    I have no complains about the food. My Smoked Salmon sandwich was good. It's a small sandwich place, and there is a not lot of seating space but it is clean and the service is quick. But my personal experience here was pretty bad. On my way out I stopped to check my mail and found one of those discount coupons. Since I was already going that way I decided to give this place a try. Here is the math done to calculate my bill: ((price + HST) - discount) + HTS. I'm not fussy about the extra few dollars, but I don't like this kind of unprofessionalism, all while I kept telling the lady that the bill seemed odd. In the end she did realize and apologized. Offered me the refund, which I put back in the tip jar.

    Sandwiches with Attitude - that's their slogan.. but I guess the joke's on me today. I wanted to save some money and decided to use the Entertainment booklet to choose my lunch destination.
    So when I got to Baguette Time and saw that the management no longer accepts them, I didn't want to just leave... so I decided to get a baguette anyway... thank goodness it was tasty and toasty. The authetic french baguette gives it a good crunch and the selection is great. I opted to share the chicken baguette which included lettuce, tomato, pesto mayo, and of course - chicken dipped in special sauce. You can get a half or full baguette, and for an extra $2.99, you can either get a salad, soup, or drink.
    The ambience is quite bare, with bright yellow walls. I think I would come back on a hot summer day for some soft serve ice-cream.

    Baguette Time is superb and the owner is extremely polite and professional.  I live in the area but had not visited due to its relatively non-descript appearance.  I dropped in the other day for a Soprano and it was deee-licous!  So good, in fact, that I dropped in again today to get the same thing.  It seems I have a new friend in the hood.

    brilliant! i have been to their location in OC (Cal) a few times, and was delighted to see they have a location up here in BC.

    my fave is their salmon baguette w/ capers. the best part is the baguette itself - i have never had such tasty bread (well i take that back, Acme bread in Berkeley rocks too!!). anyway, they also serve delish morning breakfast sandwich.

    keep it up & see if u guys want to open a location in SF Bay Area!

    Had no chance to eat here. Brought a 2 for 1 coupon from the Entertainment book a few months ago, and they did not honour it even though it wasn't expired, so I just walked out. I wish I had made them make the baguettes first and then walked out after... bloody dishonest of them to bring in customers with a coupon and then not honour it!
