So the other day was my birthday and we were out and about in Fort Langley and I decided I would…read morebreak my not cake rule and indulge in a cake. 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.

Walked around Fort Langley and this was our last spot before we left. Decided to get gelato instead…read moreof ice cream because it's lighter. There is no sampling here by the way! There are a lot of options for flavours and they serve normal and waffle cones, and cups. There is a little area on the side that would make a good study spot or place to hang out if there is wifi available. The decoration inside is nice and clean. I like the decor and the warm lighting inside. I got the lemon flavour. It was light and yummy. It's my favourite flavour to get for gelato and hard to mess up. I had to dock a few stars because while my girlfriend and I were discussing what flavour to get on the side and not in anyone's way, one of the staff was a bit pushy and the tone that she used to check up was not very nice. I will say the older staff who scooped for us was really nice.

Love the baking + coffee here…read more I've been multiple times and there is always a decent selection of baked goods and sweets. Also some packaged items. There is plenty of seating a very bright interior and patio space and free parking underground. Always super friendly staff here. Great coffee !!! I will definitely be back to eat in the restaurant side.

Thought it'd be a tourist trap but I was pleasantly surprised…read more Lovely large cafe with lots of upstairs seating and patio seating. 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. French onion soup was delicious, nice and cheesy with soaked through bread inside. Flat white was good too. 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. A bit difficult to find at Fort Langley as always, but it's worth checking this place out!

My friend recommended me to go to this place and we went together! I thoroughly enjoyed my time…read more The staff was very kind and as much as it was busy, it wasn't overstimulating; it was quite lively! The interior was cozy as well. I ordered the chocolate babka and an iced matcha latte. The chocolate babka was to die for!! However I wish I had the option to heat it up. The matcha was a different story :/ I love matcha, and I order it at a lot of different cafes. The matcha here kind of tasted like fish?? It smelt seafood-y as well. Nonetheless I still had an amazing time here, thank you for having me! :)

When we sat down, there was another table next to us, and the heater was on at that time. After we bought our tea, the neighboring table left, and the restaurant immediately turned off the heater. The warm air stopped at 7:38 p.m. I'd like to ask--was it because we only ordered tea and no main courses, so we weren't considered real customers？？？ Is this restaurant really that snobbish？？？

Food: we had some dessert, a hot chocolate, mocha, tea and americano, all were really good and…read morereasonably affordable, lots of non dairy options and some gf options, nice there is the typical cafe snacks but also meals Service: they were extremely busy, so understandable that it is stressful for staff, but that meant food and drink took a very very long time, using the online ordering from the outdoor tables was a really nice idea, but could be more user friendly, and despite putting our table number in comment section, most of our food never got brought to us, kind of defeated the purpose, otherwise when staff were available they were kind! Atmosphere: on a weekend it is bustling, especially in fall/winter. On the corner of the block it's a great location for people watching, very Christmas and cozy! There are heaters outside as well which makes it comfortable, small bookstore but cozy!

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!!!

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.
