Google search, "gluten free cakes maple ridge, british columbia, canada" took me to this wonderful…read moreneighborhood bakery, what a lucky find. I live in Honolulu and was going to Maple Ridge to see family & looking for 3 cakes to celebrate 3 birthdays, a gluten free cupcake, a delicious, special birthday cake for my sister & a regular cupcake. I spoke with Sara, a friendly, knowledgeable person. We discussed their popular cakes and I selected their black forest cake because Sara told me the cherries were special and delicious. My niece said that her gluten free chocolate cupcake was moist and had a good texture. I "accidently tasted the buttercream frosting and it was very good. The black forest cake was phenomenal, I have never tasted a better cake, and yes, the cherries were scrumptious! The whipped cream frosting was rich, delicious and tasted like 100% whipped cream. Dark chocolate shavings generously adorned the sides of the cake with plenty of loose shaving to have a taste. All 8 adults raved about the cake and agreed that it was the most delicious thing that they have ever tasted. When we arrived to pick-up the cake, we could not resist the yummy, well displayed cakes, muffins, giant cookies & variety of other baked goods. I selected a mini ginger bundt with cream cheese filling & crystalized ginger, pecan orange giant cookie & oatmeal raisin giant cookie. The bundt had a good balance of molasses complimented the cream cheese frosting. When I visit Maple Ridge again, I will be sure to stop by to load up on their goodies & another black forest cake...unfortunately, my niece is celiac and unable to indulge in most of the pastries. I'll be dreaming about the black forest cake from Hawaii for a long long time! Sorry, I neglected to take pictures.

I could not give Claudia more stars. She is AMAZING. My wife and I chose her for our Wedding cake…read moreand we could not be more pleased. Starting with the cake tasting she was absolutely amazing and generous. most of the tastings we had been to prior limited the amount of samples we could try; however Claudia was happy to let us experiment between her cakes and fillings. Not only were her cakes amazing, but she has been incredibly patient with us as we have had to push out our wedding date 3 years due to covid. Now that we have finally had our wedding cake I can firmly say that it was worth the wait. We had a 3 tiered cake with different flavors for each. Unfortunately we were busy during our event and could not try every single tier; but we had a vanilla sponge with raspberry filling, a carrot ginger cake with cream cheese, and a lemon sponge with the same raspberry filling. She is amazing. If you are thinking of using her for your wedding cake, I can promise you will not be disappointed!!!

I have recently tried their lattes and it was decent. I also had their Turkey & Cranberry Panini, which I enjoyed. Their muffins and Vegan Brownies are great too, so I highly recommend trying them. This is the best coffee shop in Mission. I hope to come back to The Penny soon.

Pure Bliss has a WIDE selection of gluten free, and a vegan section. Yes, there is also an overlap with some items that are both. I was super impressed with how vast the selections for both were. It is CUTE in here! Feels like a modern Parisian bakery. There were plenty of people sitting and enjoying their desserts with a glass of bubbly. It felt like I stepped into a whole new world. The women working were DOLLS! So sweet. I could tell they had the ordering counter down to a science and were super efficient while still being friendly and spending time with each customer. The gluten free carrot cake was decadent and flavorful. The creme brule was lovely. The caramel bar (not gluten free) was reported to be quite good as well. I can't wait to come back!

It's so nice to see such a fresh enthusiastic face when I go into the bakery for my bread. Oh did I mention the bread is fantastic! Right now is their hot dog and hamburger bun promotion, the buns are fantastic! Oh, but don't forget the cinnamon buns, melt in your mouth. Nik, the new owner, told me that if I call ahead with a large order he will put it aside for me! I was totally impressed with the professionalism of the bakery. I tried the scones, yum. Just so delicious. Just want to shout out to a young man who is taking his chances with opening the bakery at this uncertain time. Ok Mission peoples, go out and buy yourself a cinnamon bun, or maybe his delicious bread, so many choices! See you there!

The glazed donuts are pillowy soft, not too sweet, and very well priced considering their quality. I could definitely see these costing more in Vancouver! The custard donut was also nice, though I think it would be perfect if the custard filling was just a tad sweeter. It can get a bit busy but the staff are nice and work quickly to put orders together so you won't be waiting long. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other stuff next time I'm back in Maple Ridge.

I was really looking forward to going to the Duft & Co for a while and saw all the delicious baked…read moregoods they made from their Google reviews. When I went there, however, I was a little disappointed that it was not as extravagant as I was hoping. Their choices in baked goods were very scarce. When I arrived there I found out that they do not serve their breakfast/lunch menu, but instead the daily special advertisement from their indoor sign. I ordered the Mozzarella & Caramelized Onions Focaccia bread and their cappuccino. The focaccia was great with the caramelized onions adding succulence and flavour that stood out. The cappuccino was good, nothing special though. I also had their Almond Butter cake, which was good as well if not a little solid to eat. There was not much to talk about the interior ambiance of the café and there was not much space inside, unless you go to the back of the café. The staff was very courteous in serving me and has a good deal of knowledge about their business. My experience at the Duft & Co Bakehouse was pretty good, and I would like to give them another try. However, it will be a while because of their obscured business hours would be hard for me to come around.

I've been dying to try this bakery for awhile and each time I have failed and it's no one's fault but mine since they were either sold out or I came on a day they were closed. So this day I planned ahead. I got there ten minutes before opening which always makes me feel awkward but a line was already formed outside. Once they opened you go in and are greeted with a wide array of pastries and baked goods. I picked quite a few but will say that I'm biased as I went to pastry school and well this was the best croissant I've ever had. It was flaky on the outside and nice and buttery on the inside. You can tell that they worked hard on these and laminated them perfectly. The coffee was good too but the pastries stole the show and I will be back.
