Review from Graham Y.

Great family dining. A variety of choices that made it easy for everyone (6) to get what they wanted. Eclectic menu really. The food came and everyone was very happy. Breakfast, sandwich, masala, burger, salad, and pasta.
Low prices, especially for Whistler. Great service. Will return. -

Disgusting food. Sticky menus, wobbly table, lack of service. How does this place survive?
Oh yeah, Whistler Village is a tourist trap and nobody knows any better ... I even got lured into eating the worst breakfast of my life at this place. Not gonna waste any more time writing this review, it's just not worth it. -

Warning: Do not be misled by the 3-star review here because he had not said anything about the food. 3-stars means that it has potential, but in fact, it doesn't. This place deserves a 1-star on all levels. Even their spacious patio.
My boyfriend and I were meandering around Whistler because we were starving our asses off after a long, hard day hanging around our hotel room. So we stumbled upon Bread Garden and it appeared busy at the time. We looked at the menu posted on the window, and it didn't seem that bad but it did not seem great at the same time. However, they had options that I thought they could not screw up.
We were seated almost immediately, there were tons of waitresses and the manager seemed on top of things. That is until we ordered our food. I had the BLT. You can't screw up BLT. But you know who did? Bread Garden at Whistler. The lettuce basically wasn't existent and the bacon was limp and undercooked. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, and I expect bacon to be cooked nicely in 30 minutes. I am pretty sure all they did was stick it in the microwave to warm up pre-cooked slices. This is disgusting.
After a 30 minute wait, you can imagine we were starving at this time and the food would actually taste good. It didn't. It tasted like crap. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Ranch burger with a side of caesar salad. His caesar salad consists of the limpiest pieces of lettuce you could find anywhere. It had wilted because it had been under the hot lamp for so long. This is effing disgusting.
So not only did we have a terrible experience with the food, we waited around for 15 minutes for our checks before the manager remembered that he had not given us ours yet. Everyone practically ignored us while we stared them down.
Take everyone's advice here: do not go unless you are in grave danger and you will die if you do not eat food.
The patio sucks. It leaves little room for pedestrians to cross, meaning that you'd be stuck having everyone eye you down while you consume their microwaved, yet undercooked food. -

Food just shouldn't be this bad when you're dining out.
I've got the entire narrative in my head. Here's how I think it went:
Wednesday morning, 8:00 AM.
Party of eight arrives for breakfast
Manager: What do you mean all five cooks have pneumonia? Where the heck are we going to find cooks at this joint?
Waitress: [muffled voice akin to Charlie Brown's teacher]
Manager: Dang it! (Rolls up sleeves.) It's you and me then! Pick up that spatula!
20 minutes later, we were served. Burnt omelettes, rubbery sausage. Scrambled eggs that aged into old wrinkliness before they could even choose to scramble. Perhaps the bacon was edible, but get this: just the bacon was edible. Oh, and bread, which simply must be sliced.
I think my imagination preserves some dignity for this place, but not enough for me to return. -

This place is shiny and new for Whistler this past year (2010). It's fairly spacious - but I've never seen it busy either. They have a nice patio to watch people in the summertime.
The food is pretty pedestrian, but there are a few veg-friendly items. I can't recall what I had, but I recall it wasn't the cheapest option in town. -

just came back from Whistler and went to the Bread Garden for breakfast - it was truly the worst breakfast we ever had. ordered 2 eggs, ham and sausage. they gave me almost no eggs (1 egg maybe) and they rest was terrible. the other person's meal was just as bad. we did not eat it...
Goes down as the worst breakfast I have ever had.

We were very disappointed with this restaurant! There was a group of 5 of us. My daughter ordered a ham sandwich with ranch and lettuce, she got a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with honey mustard and tomato. My husband ordered a calzone which was as hard as a rock! A friend of ours ordered fish and chips, but got captain highliners fish. It was absolutely horrible! We will definitely not be going back. One plus was that they took the calzone off the bill.

Most reasonably priced that we found in Whistler. Quick and friendly service. Breakfast was good.

Ok food, but overpriced and small portions. That "large salad" would pass as a side salad anywhere else.

Stopped in for a coffee and snack mid-afternoon. There were about 5 people behind the counter and after waiting 10 minutes for a coffee, I gave up and walked out. Probably the most inattentive service I have ever experienced.

Food was great and affordable...It had a Denny's like atmosphere. The service was rough...took forever for them to take our order. Forgiven since the breakfast was good. I had an omelette and potatoes wtih a rocky road brownie for dessert and all were great. I also tried the french toast, which was only ok for me.

It's nothing special. The location is great and the atmosphere is promising, but the food and the service fall a little flat. There's an expansive, elevated outdoor seating area at a major foot-traffic intersection in the village so it's got great potential to relax and people-watch. Indoors, the place is decked out with a large seating area, a full bar and a huge one-eye projector splashing television onto a huge screen as well as several other flat-screen tvs. We stopped by for breakfast but it looks like a place better suited to having a beer and watching the game.
When we arrived we were greeted promptly and invited to select a table. We chose a cozy two-seat table and sat down but immediately noticed that there were crumbs on the table. I looked around and saw other tables that were not very clean, either.
The server was either not good or inexperienced because she did the basics but seemed to be caught off-guard by the slightest deviation from the standard routine. After delivering our food she never stopped by to ask if we needed anything else despite the fact that it was not very busy in the restaurant.
I had the breakfast wrap which is advertised as "scrambled egg, cheese and salsa in a flour tortilla". But when it arrived I was disappointed to find that it is actually a wrap with an egg, cheese and salsa mixture spread onto the wrap like butter and then filled up with cubed potatoes and folded over. My wife had the ham and cheese omelet which was dry and bland. The best part of the food experience, I'm sad to say, was trying out the multitudinous selection of Kraft brand jellies and jams on my toast.
I took a brief visit to the loo and found it to be slightly dirty but generally acceptable.
I chose to visit here because I saw it was negatively reviewed on Yelp and wanted to see for myself. I now promise to trust Yelp explicitly and to never question it again! -

I should have read the reviews before I went. The staff was really nice, but the food was very mediocre. We had a simple vegetarian omelette that was not only tasteless, but did not look appetizing at all. It was like a sad fried egg. We tried the infamous cinnamon knot that was extraordinarily too sweet.
