We’ve all seen and heard about the typical birthday freebies you can get all over Canada like the Starbucks drink and the Sephora sample set, but it’s worth mentioning that tons of local Vancouver businesses are willing to go that extra mile as well and celebrate your special day with you.
Here’s your comprehensive guide to local businesses that are worth discovering on your birthday.
Cartems Donuts
This local chain has two locations in the city and gives you a delicious free donut on your birthday. It’s very simple, all you need to do is show your ID to prove it’s your birthday.
Honey Doughnuts & Goodies
We all know and love this very special donut shop in North Vancouver, Honey’s, and here you’ll get a free birthday donut (fyi, the owner also loves singing to the birthday person).
Faubourg
With locations all across the city, the beloved french bakery Faubourg gives you a free coffee or croissant on your special day.

Having some of the best fish and chips in the city, Pajo’s has an offer where you can get a two-piece cod and chips, beef burger, or breakfast item for free when you contact them via their website. To claim this, you’ll need to buy a second meal of equal or greater value.
Remember, Pajo’s hours are weather-permitting!
