- True Love: The Bread That Brought Us Together
The history
The loaf that defines us
Made with a nearly-forgotten Canadian grain called Marquis wheat, True Love represents everything we stand for: local ingredients, thoughtful baking, and a connection to the land we call home.
Marquis was once grown widely across the Canadian prairies for its strong flavour and baking quality.
Over time, it faded from our fields, replaced by commercial grains designed for scale, not taste.
We teamed up with BC farmers to bring it back, growing it locally so we could use it the way it was meant to be used: in real, handmade bread.
Real True Love
A loaf with soul and serious flavour
From Granville Island
True Love is the only loaf we bake each day at our Granville Island bakery, shaped, proofed, and pulled from the oven just steps from the Public Market.
You’ll smell it before you see it. True Love is truly in the air.
This isn’t factory bread. It’s baked in small batches by bakers who know their craft, using long fermentation and no unnecessary additives.
Every loaf is the result of time, care, and quality ingredients.
What You’ll Taste
True Love has a rich, nutty flavour that stands out even before the first bite.
The crust has a satisfying crackle, and the inside is soft and chewy, with a hearty texture that holds up to anything.
This is a loaf with personality, deeply flavourful, never bland, and perfect for both simple meals and special moments.
OUR value
Bread Made with Care
At A Bread Affair, we care deeply about how food is made — not just for taste, but for the values it represents.
True Love is more than just a name; it’s a reflection of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and community. Crafted from Canadian-grown grain, this loaf is made without shortcuts, artificial additives, or compromises. Every step honors the hard work of local farmers and our responsibility to the planet.
We believe good food starts with good choices — from the soil to the slice — and True Love is one of ours, baked with intention, integrity, and a whole lot of heart.
Our Menu
Reasons to love our organic bread
Pure Marquis Wheat
Our bread begins close to home — made with 100% BC-grown Marquis wheat, a heritage grain known for its rich flavor and natural strength. By choosing local, we support our farmers, reduce our footprint, and deliver a loaf that’s as honest as it is delicious. From field to oven, every slice tells a story of quality, care.
Nothing Artificial
We keep it clean and honest. That means no GMOs, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors or colors — ever. Just real, simple ingredients that let the natural flavor of the bread shine through, the way nature intended.
Slow Fermentation
Good things take time. Our slow fermentation process brings out deeper, more complex flavors while making the bread easier to digest. It’s traditional, time-honored baking that puts care into every crumb.
Where to find True Love Organic Bread.
You’ll find True Love baked fresh daily at our Granville Island bakery and at select local farmers’ markets around Metro Vancouver. Stop by and pick up a loaf, but they go fast, so come early!
