Northern Bars

The Nanaimo bar has been a BC staple since the 1950s: a no-bake stack of coconut-graham crust, custard buttercream, and chocolate ganache.

Northern Bars took that nostalgia and gave it a glow-up.

Made right on Granville Island since 2021, Northern Bars turns the humble Nanaimo bar into something bite-sized and gift-ready premium ingredients, tempered Belgian dark chocolate, and a uniform, almost jewel-like finish that looks as good in a box as it tastes.

That box matters too: a buttercream-yellow package illustrated with Vancouver icons — the Lions Gate Bridge, the North Shore mountains, the Sea to Sky Gondola — designed to survive a suitcase and double as a keepsake once the bars are gone.

Beyond the classic, look for seasonal flavours like Saskatoon Berry Lemon, Smokey Maple, and Apple Cinnamon, with the full Assorted Box only available at their Granville Island flagship. No refrigeration needed, five-month shelf life — built for travelling, and built for gifting.

Find them at their flagship shop on Granville Island, or in their Public Market booth.
