I am a bread addict, and pretty much have to stop in every bakery I waltz past. Cob's was no exception, and I was seduced in by the shelves lined with starchy goodness.
The ladies behind the counter were a bit apathetic but not at all unfriendly, and I decided to test the waters with what I consider a standard for measuring quality - a demi baguette. When the woman handed it to me, I was almost shocked at how heavy it was! Cob's is not messing around when it comes to bread.
The baguette was good, but nothing special. Dense, chewy, with a bit of toughness to the crust (I prefer a crunch personally, but this was a bit more rubbery than I would have preferred). Still, nothing particularly wrong with it, and at $2.35, perfectly affordable.
Would I go out of my way to make a trip here? No, but if I was hankering for a carbo-fix and walking by, I'd definitely consider Cob's a good option to snag a snack.Listed in: Places that piss off my…

I love how fresh bread smells. I'm such a sucker for that smell. And, I can't help loving Cobs' seedy, country grain bread (thick sliced). It is a household staple. I even keep an extra loaf frozen...just in case the 5 minute walk is just too excruciating.
I usually end up caving to a craving for a hot cross buns, a scone (sweet or savory) or a croissant.
The only thing that really lacks at this Cobs is getting that overly friendly service I have experienced at other locations. The Kerrisdale location comes to mind. There, you'd think you stepped into small town circa 1959 where people tip their hat to you and comment on the corn fields...I digress.Listed in: Favourite Vancouver…, Comfort Carbs

Yes to supporting local and to good quality bread! For the price of a fresh whole wheat sesame loaf (and other yummy selections), you could get a frozen, shipped in loaf of bread from the east at the supermarket. I think I'll walk the extra blocks to Cobs!
You can also find all the nutritional value, ingredients and such of their goods on their site. -

Bread is fresh if a bit expensive especially for the rolls, buns, pastries, etc.
Finally accepts credit cards. Location is great and staff is always helpful. They'll slice the bread for you but say sandwich or toast slices. Some have hearing problems if you say thin or thick. -

I love Cobs Bread. Sadly today though, I received some of the crappiest service ever, which is why I am only rating it two stars. Here's how my transaction went down. I eyeballed one last apple & walnut scroll, and walked up to the counter to order it. The lady completely ignored me and was staring at the BF. I looked at the BF, looked back at her, looked back at the BF.... confusion slowly building. Then she said to the BF "hey look at your jacket, have you been to the Art Gallery?" WTF? Am I invisible?
The BF tried to steer the conversation back to my order, but she STILL ignored me. Then she wanted to know what his order was, without even attempting to fill mine, or acknowledge the fact that I had ordered already. The BF ordered a cheesy mite, and her response was "do you know what that is?" Ummm.... yes. Then I tried to re-order and she responded rudely "we don't have any left." By this point I was pretty frustrated, and I was like "yes you do, I can see it in the display case." Then she tried telling me that it was too small to sell. Seriously??? Do I have to take this lady down to get a freakin' scroll?? She FINALLY let me have it, and yea she did give it to me for a discount because she kept going on about how small it was (which I really didn't even care about, sometimes size DOESN'T matter.) The scroll was delicious, sweet and exactly what I needed, but the service was pretty much the worst I have had in a long time.
I usually go to the Main street location, and after this encounter, I will probably keep it that way.Listed in: Drinkin' that Hate-orade
