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 woke up pretty early on a Wednesday morning got my license ready and headed for Canada. My one…read moreand only stop was Duft and Co. 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.

If you're in the mood for something a little savoury, they also serve 5 different flavours of Taiyaki. I can't remember which flavours I ordered because I stuffed them in my mouth immediately. Bubble tea is a good value but nothing special. Still think it's a good spot to go if you're looking for desserts.

Absolutely love this place! I'm not sure if it's family owned, but it seemed like it based on the…read morefriendliness of the workers towards each other and to the customers. From what I saw there was a younger lady taking everyone's orders, a man making all the drinks, and an older woman in the back making the bing su. It was packed when I went. The line was out the door but well worth the wait. I'm surprised this place doesn't have more Yelp reviews based on the amount of people that come here. Although there was a long line of people ahead of us, it moved quickly cause the staff was efficient. You could see how hard they were working as beads of sweat started forming on their forehead. The Korean hospitality is just on a whole other level. My group ordered a mango cheesecake bing su, takaiyaki (red bean, apple pie, and cheese custard), plain yogurt smoothie with boba, and another tea which I forgot. Everything was delicious! The bing su was very light and subtly creamy. The takaiyaki was soft and crispy. It's made of croissant so that was tasty. My favorite was the apple pie. The drinks were also very refreshing. I was not disappointed with this place at all.

We drove nearly twelve hours round-trip to visit the Dutch Bakery in Lynden because my husband is…read moreDutch, and we were genuinely excited to experience an authentic Dutch bakery. Unfortunately, the visit was extremely disappointing. We spent approximately $40 on baked goods, including what we were told were stroopwafels. The cookies we received had no caramel filling and were extremely stale--so dry, brittle, and unpleasant that we could not eat them. There was also no freshness or expiration date on the package. The other products we purchased were disappointing enough that we ultimately threw everything away. The employee behind the counter was not knowledgeable about the products and could not make us a fresh stroopwafel. We also found very little of the Dutch selection or experience we had made the long drive expecting. I tried calling the bakery for two days, but I could not reach anyone because their telephone was apparently malfunctioning. By the time I finally reached the store, I had already discarded the inedible products. I was then told that they would not provide a refund because they have a strict 24-hour return policy. That policy seems especially unreasonable for stale, undated food--particularly when the store could not be reached by telephone during that period. I was not asking for anything excessive; I simply wanted the bakery to stand behind approximately $40 worth of food that was stale and inedible when it was sold to us. A sincere apology and reasonable effort to resolve the problem would have made a significant difference. Instead, the response felt dismissive and left us regretting both the purchase and the long drive. Based on the poor product quality, lack of freshness dating, limited product knowledge, inability to reach the business, and refusal to offer a reasonable resolution, I cannot recommend the Dutch Bakery in Lynden.

It's great that this place is open til 10pm. We ended up getting a Vancouver no bake cheesecake…read morewith strawberry drizzle, a sausage roll, banana bread and tea. The Vancouver no bake cheesecake was delish. Light, airy, fluffy, not overly sweet. The strawberry drizzle tasted good and didn't taste bad or artificial. My husband enjoyed his banana bread. And we liked the sausage roll, their oven to heat it up unfortunately wasn't working so they microwaved it. It was good but of course would've been even better if toasted. I had an organic rooibos tea and enjoyed that they have a good selection of teas to choose from as well as caffeine free and an organic option. The girl serving us was super nice, friendly and helpful. A chill spot to hang out for a snack and a drink.

The establishment has a nice traditional aesthetic to it with mild lighting. Afterthoughts is a great place to have a caffeinated drink and snack. It would be great if this place had a menu for of full meals.
