A 4.9 rated bakery on Sixth Street where the laminated pastry is the reason and the flat white is the excuse.
Uptown, Sixth Street
More infoBanette bakes on Sixth Street in uptown New Westminster and holds a Google average most restaurants would frame, 4.9 across roughly 474 reviews. The counter is the whole draw: croissants and pains au chocolat, sourdough, French toast, acai bowls and an Australian slant on brunch that lands somewhere between bakery and bistro. It runs on daytime hours, closes on Wednesdays, and it fills. Get there early, take the window, and let a second coffee happen.
Come early. This is a bakery first, so the laminated pastry and the sourdough go fast and the room shuts by four or five (and all day Wednesday, so check before you set off). Order at the counter, claim a window seat looking onto Sixth Street, and put in for a second coffee before you think you want one. The plates lean Australian, avocado toast and acai bowls next to French toast, if you want a real bite instead of just something sweet. It is a twenty minute walk uphill from the Quay, or park on a side street off Sixth.
