LOVE their bread (so 4*'s for that) but 2* for service...some of the staff here are so-so.
I don't go hear to sit or to eat, just to get their breads from time to time. I love the Pain de Campagne loaf (which is the bread used at Mistral restraurant!) and the Zoe loaf (which is a very grainy loaf). All breads are very good quality. The Apricot & White Choc loaf is also indulgent as is the Cranberry & Ginger. -

Very tasty creme brulee, that's my weakness. Nice n eggy smooth, and can't beat the sugary crunchy top. Probably not Joe Fortes quality, but for a cafe, it hits the sweet spot. Well, more of a bakery than cafe.
Client had some leftover white chocolate hazelnut creme cake, also delicious.
One great thing about this place is you know to come here on a cold day like today--it's boiling hot in here, either they're still baking at this odd hour 3:45pm or they're crank up the heat,
Sucks they don't have wifi.Comment from Elin W. of Mix the Bakery 5/17/2012
Thanks for the review Kenneth, glad you enjoyed our cream… More » -

The breads and other foods are great.
HOWEVER, the service is terrible. The staff wander around and have no idea what they are doing. Then they start serving people totally out of order. The food is not worth the frustration. -

My good friends mum introduced me to this place years ago and I have been a fan ever since. Their hip, urban, approach to artisan bread and goodies is why I am a fan. These guys also cater to a ton of local shops and grocers like IGA, so don't fear if you cant make it up to Point Grey then you may be able to find them in your neighbourhood.
5 stars - the artisan bread crisps. These little morsels of heaven blow Raincoast crisps out of the water. grab yourself a bag.. or two b/c they go fast and head over to the cheese shop and pick yourself up some Boursin and your off to the races.
Zoey's super grain I swear has every possible grain in there, and is jam packed full of grainy goodness.

This is a deceptive little spot. The location is way outside the core of the city in Point Grey where you wouldn't expect high quality professional baking - but it is top notch!
This is a lovely little neighbourhood bakery that has a few tables as well so you can eat there. It has a really warm feel to it, and a beautiful selection of baked goods.
The little secret is that they also have some amazing soups. The carrot fennel masala and green apple curry are two of my favourites when they have them available.
They also make some of the best artisan bread available in Vancouver. Grab a sandwich to sample the bread and then bring a loaf home as well! The chicken sandwich is a favourite, it has a pleasant amount of heat coming from chipotle infused mayo.
This makes a nice little spot to grab lunch, or stock up on a crusty loaf of well made bread for home! -

I think I have found "the one"! Always on the quest for the perfect bread, I have happily found the honey whole wheat at Mix Bakery.
Crusty edges with bouncy inside. Different from Tartine, but equally lovable. They must have one of the best breads in Vancouver.
The cookies also looked tempting, but we decided on carrot cake and coffee cake instead.
The carrot cake was pretty moist and flavorful and the icing was not too sweet, which is nice. My partner find the coffee cake to be delightful too.
One of the less impressive was the banana bread, which I find a bit bland.
Overall, a great bakery to stock up on freshly baked bread.Listed in: Breads and co.

I was starving and stopped in for a sandwich. $7.30 after tax for a sandwich seems a bit steep but they bake their own bread and grill the sandwiches. I got a chicken sandwich with chipotle on it. Very delicious.
They make their chai in-house. It sounds attractive. The guy behind the counter says he loves it. He made me a chai latte and I was disappointed. Still on the quest for a good chai latte! If you have any tips, please give me some direction!
The chocolate chip cookie was yummy on the other hand. Fresh and gooey the way I love it.
No wifi, but it'd be an ideal place to come and do work but when I went there I tethered off my phone and it was nice and peaceful.
People, and as do I, seem to love the sandwiches here. A big group came in and domineered the entire seating area. If a large group plans and coordinates themselves to go here for lunch then it must be good!
Overall, great for lunch, good cookie, lousy for chai latte (though it has a nice spicy kick to it). Haven't tried the coffee but they use Cuppa Joe they said. Not sure what that is, I'm not from here. I'm only familiar with a few brands. If you're a coffee connaisseuse ou connaisseur then this is probably not the spot for it--I haven't seen anyone order it and I was eating-in.
Delicious sandwich and cookie though! If I'm hungry walking by I'll definitely come back. I'd recommend stopping by to try it if you're in the area and haven't tried it already, but it looks like another reviewer comes all the way from downtown to eat here!Listed in: Get-down-to-business…

Review from Reena M.
This place is great for lunch! It's perfect for a quick off-campus lunch (if you're from UBC). Such tasty innovative sandwiches. We had the chimayo chicken sandwich grilled to perfection (not to hard, not to soft) and it was delicious! I don't remember what all was in it but it was very flavourful and tasty. I remember it had, chicken, avocado, cilantro mayo, and it was spicy too... We also had a herb chicken salad as well. That was okay. The dressing was really delicious, but the greens were just green leaf or iceberg lettuces. I expected some mesclun baby greens thrown in there too. But over all it was delicious.
They have a variety of bread loaves that I am inclined to purchase one of these days. As well as some delicious looking desserts (A SUNFLOWER CUPCAKE!!!). They sell jams and preserves and give samples of them. Very yummy. They also sell dog treats!! I picked some up for the boss's dog to get on her good side (the dog's not the boss :-P ).
Totally recommend a visit here, esp. if you're in the neighbourhood for a good lunch!
My only frown for them is that they don't have wifi. :( -

I love the Mexican Hot Chocolate and the chicken sandwich here. Which are the only two things I have ever had! And yet, I have been here well over 20 times. I live downtown, so it's sort of a trek out to 10th, but this is where I come for, well, my hot chocolate and my chicken sandwich.
The hot chocolate is yummy, although I like a bit more kick. One guy used to know how to add spice for me but so far, no one else has. And it's pre-mixed so a different milk is not an option.
The baked goods are gorgeous and the staff is always friendly. Maybe they don't have wifi so people don't hang out there for hours . . . . -

This place is great but their hours just don't fit with my schedule.
A good friend of mine lives next store to this super cute bakery but every time I try to go in their closed (at 5pm?)
Their baked goods are delish as well as their hot chocolates. I've brought kids here too and they were all fans so this place is kid approved as well.
Also, if you can take a peek in the back and you can see their production line equipeed with huge baking ovens and flour flour everywhere.
Good luck trying to find parking though, this place is tiny and 10th is a busy street so you may have to circle around a couple times before being able to find a spot. -

My favourite bakery in Vancouver - probably a good thing that it's so far from my house. The sandwiches are pricey but glorious, and the bread .. oh man. My personal favourites are the Three Chili Cheese Bread and the Cranberry Ginger - both so, so good. They also have great cookies and cakes and do up a mean latte. My only complaint about Mix is that they're a million miles away, but I would be very poor and very fat if they were any closer to my house.

Like Garbrielle P, I really do want this place to be better than it is.
The location is great, the staff are friendly enough and the atmosphere is cozy. Behind the glass, many items weren't labelled very clearly. There were some labels between baked goods and it was difficult to tell which of the pies the labels were for. I think some labels were missing because there seemed to be more items than tags. For a first-timer, I was already overwhelmed with the variety and this didn't help.
We chose a variety of different things to try ...mainly by just pointing.
I had some kind of salmon sandwich. At least that's what I think it was. Even the counter staff seemed unsure. Anyway, it tasted very much like it was mixed in with that Kraft Sandwich Spread, which, even as a child, I hated. The bread that was used didn't make the taste experience any better. I think it was had some kind of cheese in it.
The chicken sandwich and the apple galette were OK.
The sour cream coffee cake wasn't bad. It could have been a bit more moist.
The lattes and americanos were better than Starbucks, but there are other cafes that are even better.
I may have had too high expectations considering all the great reviews, but I was disappointed with this bakery/cafe.
