Origin Story

At Unique Slow Rise Bakery & Cafe, our story began with drives to Vancouver for flavours we loved and a simple question: why not bring Dim Sum and Asian‑inspired baked goods to where we live? We’re Gabe and Unique — and we took a leap of faith to bring those flavours to Squamish.

​

Working from a rented kitchen with clear limits sparked our creativity. Starting our journey at farmers market with focaccia, we used what we had to invent a menu of hand‑made baked goods, cozy dim sum and rice bowl plates, paired with Specialty Drinks like Milk Tea and Lemon Tea. Each item is a small creative leap: a practical workaround that became a community favorite.

 

We embrace a learner’s mindset and are committed to contributing to Squamish — refining our craft, curating experiences, and sharing our culture. Building our new location is the next step in that commitment, a space born of passion, possibility, persistence, and community.
