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 went here for some coffee fix and dessert back in February. It was my first time visiting Maple…read moreRidge location as I've previously have visited Langley location once. Gratia seemed like a popular cafe on weekends. There were lots of customers when I got there around 1PM. We ordered Matcha Raspberry croissant ($6.75), large drip coffee and latte. Drip coffee tasted bit bitter. I had to wait in line while staff were busy helping customers. Latte was good, but Matcha Raspberry croissant was too sweet. I didn't know the washroom was at the back at the rear side. Because the cafe was very busy, there was no toilet paper when I walked into the washroom. Staff were very nice and helpful, but my personal experience was just okay. I could've got something better than Matcha Raspberry Croissant. Besides all the staff were too busy and had no time to check or clean the washroom.

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.

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.

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.

We were pleasantly surprised that they offer guests access to their full drink menu including their specials. Ube matcha was good, but had a hint of cinnamon which we could have gone without. The matcha mango was also good. The blackberry lavender matcha was too floral for our liking. However, eventually you get used to it and then it becomes more enjoyable. The pandesals were super fresh and we loved both the ube and strawberry butters that came with it. I wish that they came a bit warmer, so that the butters could have melted a touch. I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 sandwiches. I especially loved the arugula on the mozerella sandwich. The blackberry brie sandwich could have used a touch more brie, but was still delicious. The cheesecakes were good, but a bit too sweet. The strawberry was my favorite. I enjoyed tasting multiple flavors. Their red velvet cupcake was extremely moist. The pistachio malasada was cute and flavorful. The filling to pastry ratio was good. I think that the experience could have been better balanced if there were a few more savory items. One thing that we noticed was that all of the pastries including the malasada were cold. I can understand that there are some food safe requirements that need to be met in how desserts are stored. However, letting them sit out for even 20-30 minutes before consumption would have been better.
