Well wouldn't you know I was in the same parking lot as the Fort Langley Bakery and I had heard some great reviews. Maybe my expectations were high but the cake was a bit dry. In the display case they have the "cakes" made in Styrofoam and the real cakes are frozen. I think this had a hand in the dryness of the cake. I also bought a Butter Horn pastry which was really good. It was not frozen so it did taste fresh. I would like to try them again but only if it is fresh and not frozen.

Near little bakery in Fort Langley that has a nice "cozy" feel to it on a nice little strip mall…read morethat is tastefully done with a large walkway with fencing and neat oak barrels as decor. The bakery isn't huge but has a great selection and the goods are great quality to boot. I picked up an apple fritter, beef sausage roll, and two cookies for the kids, a Smartie and sugar one. Apple fritter was just freaking awesome!!! It tasted super fresh and it was a good size for the price with chunks of apples and just the right amount of crispiness. Beef roll was a bit spicy but really filling and it's hard to find a great sausage roll that isn't made by a machine. I will be making another trip out here and want to try out their Fort Bread as it looks delicious.

There is an amazing amount of seating inside and outside and has a wheelchair/baby stroller friendly entrance but there are still steps from the two levels so be aware if you're heading there. The food was great and we ordered a sandwich, breakfast sandwich and scramble (with of course, some sweet treats!!). You order at the front and then they give you a number and you find seating. The kitchen was definitely busy bringing over dishes and baked goods. The food was good and the chocolate chip cookie was the fan favourite amongst my group. The sandwich was good and came with chips. Scramble was also good but nothing particular to write home about, would be nice if it came with a piece of toast!

Really enjoyed my French Onion Soup ($15 I think), also ordered sourdough bread on the side which came toasted and lightly buttered! Side of bread cost a few dollars more.

I didn't like their cinnamon twist pastry though, very little cinnamon sugar and it wasn't really flaky. Staff were friendly and decently quick on service. Bustle cafe at 9:30am on a Sunday.

I watched for my table as this big woman make her way to a bunch of teenagers looking at the books, which honestly is what I would prefer this generation to do but I guess I'm alone in that. She started verbally berating and abusing them to the point where they ran out scared, I don't care what they were doing they seemed completely innocent. Honestly the faces and gestures she was making was disgusting towards these young kids. Pick someone your own size why don't you instead of going after our future generation and making them more scared to step out their houses. Honestly I am appalled if this is the way your staff thinks they can talk to children. Maybe you staff should focus on being dressed for work because that women certainly looked in to condition of service, along with the rest of her attitude. I'm very saddened that I saw this happen on an evening that was supposed to be peaceful, please do better Wendell's!

I met the owner as well and she was very nice, letting me know that they had taken over management only a couple months ago. Their custom cake looks really epic too! However, I didn't like the two items at all, they were both overly sweet. The muffin was super oily, where it seep through the wrapper and bag, which is shocking because the muffin was actually dry and crumbly...not sure how that works. The muffin also lacked any filling, so it was dry and plain, other than the topping, which was way too sweet. The cookie wasn't that bad, I wished that they used dark chocolate because it was really sweet, and a bit hard. The best cookies for me are the ones that are crispy on the outside but soft in the inside, which this one is hard throughout. I personally don't like sweet things so if you have a sweet tooth, definitely check it out - but I was surprised about the muffin as I never seen such an oily muffin before but that's also dry.

BUYER BEWARE - WEBSITE HACKED?…read more I've ordered from Republica a bunch of times before with no issues and really enjoy their roasts but my last order was a mess. Paid through their website using PayPal and the money went to some random business name I've never heard of. A few days later they emailed me saying they never got the funds and basically told me to contact PayPal to try to get the money back. Their explanation was that it was a "PayPal technical issue" and that I should always double check the payee name before sending money. That doesn't sit right with me. If I'm checking out on your official website I shouldn't have to second guess whether the payment is actually going to you. Their site was either hacked, their PayPal setup was compromised, or they misconfigured it. How can I check out on YOUR website, have a receipt showing 4 lbs of roasted coffee, but the seller name on PayPal is some random name not associated to them? In addition to that, when they contacted me about my order they accidentally CC'd other people who were most likely affected by the same issue. Their official responses: "Unfortunately, due to a technical issue with PayPal's payment system, some payments were mistakenly authorized to an account not associated with us. In some cases, transactions have shown the recipient's name as "Toko Maria" or "Toko Putri." Please note that Republica Coffee never received these funds." "We wanted to clarify that due to a recent technical issue with PayPal, some payments were mistakenly authorized to accounts not associated with Republica Coffee. If your transaction shows any recipient other than Republica Coffee Roasters Inc., the payment did not reach us. As a result, your current order has been cancelled, and you can place a new order." Instead of owning it they downplayed it, canceled my order, and asked me to order again!? I'm still fighting with PayPal to dispute the original charge with no success yet. Buy at your own risk.
