Faubourg

What Faubourg does

Faubourg is a privately-held French bakery, pâtisserie, and café founded in 2010 by Franck Point, operating three retail locations across Vancouver (Downtown at 769 Hornby St, Kerrisdale at 2184 W 41st Ave, and Yaletown at 302 Davie St). The company produces and sells breads, viennoiseries, cakes, individual pastries, macarons, confectioneries, savoury items, and beverages, using traditional French baking techniques executed by classically-trained pastry chefs and an authentic five-deck oven imported from France, with bread baked five times daily on-site.

Its product portfolio spans fresh-baked goods sold in-store, packaged at-home items such as par-baked croissants, and bespoke catering for corporate events and private occasions, with an e-commerce ordering channel operated through faubourgexpress.com. Pricing is unit-based in CAD, with individual pastries and viennoiseries in the $3–$15 range and catering platters from $30 to $97.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: in-store retail bakery sales, e-commerce/online ordering, corporate and event catering, and a franchising/licensing program offered to qualified operators for geographic expansion. The customer base is dominated by individual Vancouver consumers seeking French bakery experiences, with corporate catering as a secondary segment, and the company maintains marketing presence through Facebook, Instagram, email newsletters, and its website.
