Get ready for a taste of Parisian-style goodness at a new bakery set to open in Britannia Beach.
On Aug. 11, Beaucoup Bakery will soft-open its doors to the public ahead of the Britannia Village grand opening on Aug. 23.
“We are so excited to finally open the doors to our third location at Britannia Village,” co-owner and pastry chef Betty Hung said in a news release.
“There is an amazing community here, and both Jacky and I are proud to contribute a new chapter to the story of Britannia Village. Our hope is to have this new space feel like a little escape, where people can stop in for a treat before heading up to the mountain, drop in for a cozy apres ski, or just catch up with friends,” Betty said.
Set within a restored 1936 bunkhouse, the new outpost will feature a 50 seat space, as well as a 545 square foot patio.
The building was originally known as the Ritz Bunkhouse and was used to house workers for the nearby Britannia Mine. It was restored in 2024 and retains elements of its original architecture.
The menu
Guests can expect a menu featuring Beaucoup Bakery’s signature collection of pastries,
viennoiseries, and sandwiches, as well as new and exclusive items not available at its other cafes such as doughnuts and après-ski fondue sets.
On the opening day, doughnut flavours will include vanilla-glazed yeasted, double chocolate, black sesame cruller, matcha-glazed cruller, and filled options like strawberry ganache and pistachio pastry cream.
There will also be two Après-Ski Fondue Sets: a sweet variety with matcha chocolate, accompanied by madeleines, mini scones, and shortbread cookies; and a savoury cheese option with mini croissants, plain scones, and bread.
Beverages will include coffees and loose-leaf teas as well as “a brand new exclusive Britannia Beach line-up of tea drinks and Matcha Fizz flavours using Paragon Tea matcha, including Mango Marché, Guava Lumière, and Shizuoka Matcha Blanc,” according to the release.
“We’ve had so much fun creating new items just for this space and really leaning into the
French alpine themes,” Jacky said.
“We really wanted the menu to reflect the relaxed, adventurous spirit of Britannia Village with some of our flavours.”
Beaucoup Bakery is located at 161 Copper Drive, Britannia Beach and will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (or until sold out).
