We got the birthday cake in Dino shape for our kids birthday from here. The cake was was baked perfectly and tasted excellent. They offer multiple colour choices for frosting and we got it customized. Also got their baked cookies - almond one will simply crumble in your mouth! Will definitely recommend them for birthday cakes!
delicious aromatic bread and the best whipped cream donuts!
This bake shop has been in business for over 50 years I will travel from one Community to another to get to it because their stuff is awesome
Always great service and the cakes are delicious!
Great for some pastries. I think their bread is Okay, but we do really like their cheesy buns.
My first time to the Valley Bakery was around 2001 or 2002. The very friendly and helpful staff, along with the amazing selection of baked goods is what keeps me coming back. I love this place.
Great Tasting Bakery. Excellent Customer service for most part. I highly recommend their cakes. Just make sure when it is being boxed that the top part does not press down on the icing layer in case you have something special written on it. One time, one part of it got smushed.
Best bakery. Been going since I was a young girl. Went back 35 years later and I got a free cookie
Just amazing in every way
Delicious desserts. Friendliest and kind people. Don't miss this place. Also, the only place I found that still makes Pavlova cake.
Great value
Best cakes
Best cakes around!
An absolutely exceptional bakery. Everyone in my family loves this place. We will find any excuse to order a cake. I can never stop myself from picking up extra goodies while I'm there. Everything is amazing there and very reasonably priced. Sometimes it can be quite busy Inside but they keep it organized and the wait is never too long and always worth it.
Nice
Fantastic baked goods. Worth the trip
Definitely worth going into smelt amazing and got a variety of baking
Great selection, always great!
The whipped cream donut is great not too sweet, great selection of breads, cookies and cakes. Love their veggie and meat sausage rolls too
My friend and I discovered this place while out for a drive. It is AMAZING. We have been back again, and will continue to do so!
Been coming here since I was a kid with my parents and it is still the best for traditional bakery goods. Very nostalgic!
This place is the best value and always lots of staff. I am addicted to their yummy fresh apple fritters and whipped cream donuts.
They have very delicious cake
This place has been the staple of Burnaby Heights for a time. Cakes, pastry, bread. All solid.
Been here since I was 5 and it still taste as good !
Great affordable baked goods!
Staff were friendly and very accommodating. I placed a large order of cookies and they were delicious and decently priced!
The best end burnaby
Good cookies but their fancy cupcakes were terrible. Will go back for cookies though. Heard their lemon meringue was wonderful. Still haven't tried it but will.
There are so many options for the sweet cravings... Will try other items... The Vanilla Cake was Fresh and tasty...
First time going here. I was pleasantly surprised of the selection of bakery items. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again and would recommend to anyone
The Vanilla Squares are incredible (napoleons)
Great Bakery been going there for years and years.
Whenever visiting Vancouver, Valley Bakery is a must stop - best lime tarts!
Yum.
The Valley bakery has been my go to bakery since the early 90’s. The cookies are a weakness of mine and the sausage rolls can’t be beat. You can’t find quality like this anywhere else in all of Vancouver. Jack been an active member of the community, volunteering his time for community pancake breakfasts and other events. I’m happy to support this local family business. Unfortunately I recently moved away from the lower mainland. I find myself reminiscing over the gingerbread and Christmas treats which had become a tasty tradition for our family during the holidays. If you haven’t been, try it out. Your tastebuds will thank you.
Walked by late at night after closing and saw multiple mice climbing on the displays. Will never go here again...
Bought this mini round bread and found this sticky booger thing in one of them. ????
Amazing variety to satisfy your sweet or salty tooth. Highly recommend this bakery, loved by all!.
Their butter tarts. OMG!! I am a raisins in kinda gal and pretty sure they use currants which are even better! Great flaky pastry. Nice little tarts with good ratio of patry:filling. I am also hopelessly hooked on their plain white dinner rolls. So good! I have tried a few of the mousse desserts and found the strawberry to be lackluster in flavor but the key lime tart is superb! This is now my go-to bakery (but I go to Fortuna for my meringues which Valley doesn't have).
Been going to Valley for my mother's birthday cake for years. A must in North Burnaby
Great bakery, we do our best to get cookies and cakes for parties from here. Lots of choice, good flavors, good size to cookies (not huge like grocery store bakeries). Busy, but efficient staff.
Picked up bread, cookies and cake. Mmm buttercream cake ????
Delicious cake and super friendly service
Good bakery for bread and cake for our neighborhood
The staff is wonderful and the pastries are the best I’ve had
Some of the items are hit or miss.
I went the first time and Rachel was so friendly and helpful. Love how it smells(it is a bakery). Love the options they have! Would recommend it to anyone!
A must-go place for cakes, cookies and pastries. Great customer service.They have an awesome collection of mini pastries and each of them taste very special too. They match up the prices well too. They offer the cookie collection 12 cookies for 12 CAD and you can mix and match the cookies. I bought a mix of cookies, veggie rolls and a mix of 3 mini pastries (Walnut, choclate hot dog and mocha).
Great bakery with a good variety of baked items. Have been coming here since I was a kid and love it!
The bakery items are great but there are too many people on the weekend
I liked there cookies
Great pastries
My family has been coming here since I was a baby. Birthday cakes, easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, bread, brownies, CREAM PUFFS!!! shortbread and so much more. I am now 22 and still come here every time I come to Vancouver. This bakery is a staple in my families lives and it makes me so happy to support a local spot like this
I bought cherry turnovers and some fruit shortbread - the service was good and fast, even though I had to wait outside for my turn! (We're limited to four people inside at a time for covid restrictions which is fine) I will for sure come back when I'm in the area to try something else! :D The cakes were so beautiful!
A huge variety of delicious treats. Everything is a hit. The only down is that the service is soooo slow! I was so close to leave my order and go. They should inmprove in being faster.
Good service and better cakes
Beware the low quality and desserts that are often filled with artificial flavourings and colours. The key lime tarts were an unnatural fake green colour and it tasted like citrus cleaner, burning my mouth. Then we tried their carrot cake. The sign said carrot cake, and my partner asked the clerk for carrot cake. We returned home and it was a pumpkin spice cake, to our disappointment. It was way too sweet and the frosting piped on the outside tasted more like a cool whip petroleum based product than a buttercream or whipped cream. It left a funny aftertaste in the mouth, just like the tarts, so once again we're suspicious there were artificial flavours used. For such an expensive cake, the quality is cheap.
The sweets are so delicious and the staff is beyond friendly! Great price as well
Great bakery.
I don't want to promote this business because I don't want long lineups. It wouldn't be fair though, top quality baked good, customer service can use some improvement, but overall the quality of the canollis makes up for it ????
I wouldn’t say it’s a European standard.....
Great European bakery, with lots of variety and reasonable prices
The best bakery in the world! Ha, well, in the lower mainland anyway.
Large bakery. You will probably be able to find what you want. I like all their cream filled things. Though I wish they could use diplomat cream in their cream filled pastry.
Phenomenal experience and delious pastries and breads and cookies. My favorite is the vanilla slices
Their Cakes are very good. The whipped cream is a bit too much but for someone like me who loves whipped cream, its very yummy.
friendly staff and tasty pastries.
Cookies, tiramisu, cream puffs and buttercream horns were delicious. Good prices too. Service was average.
We always stop in here when we go to Dr appointment. A bit pricy but excellent quality. The kids always look forward to getting their free cookie. 2 times they weren't offered their cookie and were quite disappointed.
Amazing eclairs and shortbread cookies. Great quality and availability every time I visit.
I am a stickler for good customer service, and will go out of my way to go back to a store that believes in service. this is one of those places. I always have a great experience there. The staff is always helpful, and they don't seem to mind when my kids put their fingers all over their beautiful glass cases!! I don't think that I have had anything from there that I didnt enjoy. I love long standing family owned businesses!
Mostly attentive staff. Their cookies are amazing! I highly recommend getting a mix of a dozen mixed cookies for $4.75. I love their birthday cake and other pastries as well. Also liked the bread.
Everything is very fresh and real rum in the rum balls.. great service very friendly.
Love this place. What a huge variety of cakes, pastries, cookies, bread and loads more. I always get my cakes from here. They melt in your mouth. The chicken pies are lovely too. Drop in and take a look. You will not be disappointed. You will end up buying their products. The ladies there are super nice. Enjoy.
One of the best bakery. I love it
Nice variety!
Chocolate mousse cake 1st class and delicious!
I always drove by this bakery but finally I visited it over the weekend. I arrived around 5pm, so it was the end of the day that they almost sold out most of the cookies and pastries. They have a ticket system, so customers must get a number and wait for a server to call. The bakery has two doors. One is going in and one is exiting due to covid. The bakery has bread, lots of cookies and pastries, and savoury items like veggie and sausage rolls. I bought their Christmas tree hangers which were very cute (see photos) and a couple of sausage rolls. The Christmas tree hangers were ginger bread cookies with chocolate coating and a small Christmas decoration. I am keeping one for myself and give the rest to others. The sausage rolls tasted fine but not super outstanding. I would recommend others to come here if they would like to buy cookies, bread and pastries. They have a wide variety of items. Sometimes I find it’s hard to choose when there are so many options. There is free street parking nearby, so it’s very convenient. ????????
Best black forest cake around.
Great little bakery. Almost always packed with people, but the staff is fast and friendly with service. Go there early if you want glazed doughnuts, they sell out pretty fast.
Went with my mom once a month while I was a little girl, I was raised in Burnaby. Now I go with my husband even though we are in Surrey . Wonderful cakes, yummy pastries not to expensive. Just wish there was more locations. ????
Very good
This place carries many delicious baked creations such as cookies, tarts, strudels, and more. Some unique to this place and some are classics with an original twist. Also, a huge selection of fresh bread and cakes.
Not too fancy, but lots of sweet-tasting options and reasonable prices!
The best bakery in Metro Vancouver. Delicious Cakes and Pastries and you have to try the sausage rolls!
The best cakes in the Lower Mainland.
Great Food, great prices
A true German bakery with the different breads, pastries, and. Ales made how my German wife grew up with. Cakes use real buttercream and are very delicious. A lot of pastries, cookies, breads and able to order cakes in advance. A great bakery anywhere in Vancouver.
First time visiting the bakery, and I was very pleased with the quality of the food
A great neighbourhood bakery, reliable for old school cookies, pastries & cakes. Although customer service is touch & go (depends on the day), I still come here often.
I think the cookies are the best. The bread is a bit lackluster. Raisin bread is good and cheese bread is great. Buns..mehh.. service is fsntastic!! Did I mention the cookies!! So many good ones and very reasonable pricing.
My boyfriend loved the cake.
Good stuff
Highly recommend this bakery! Its been around for years,loved by all, my in laws even had there wedding cake from this place 47 years ago! I recommend the butter crisp rolls.
I have had a several birthday cakes from Valley Bakery and despite being nicely decorated, they have all been dry and mediocre. Most of these cakes have been at kids bday parties and once a cake my husband bought for my birthday. Recently, I thought I would give Valley another shot and I paid $40 for an 8x8 cake for a someone's birthday at my office. I called to order at 9:30am and asked if it would be okay to pick up around noon and they said no problem. When I got there to pick up the cake, they said it was still a bit frozen. It was last minute, but I was still pretty surprised that a $40 cake was frozen! In the end the cake didn't get eaten because it was so dry and the middle and all the fruit on top was still frozen. I feel like this cake must have been sitting in the freezer for a long time before I bought it, it tasted so stale! You are better off spending much less on a cake that at least tastes freshly baked from Save On Foods or Costco.
Excellent cookies, bread and cakes. They make a traditional Christmas Stollen that is the real deal.
We asked Valley Bakery if it was possible to make us a cake that was "sugar free" - or mostly free of added simple sugars (including agave syrup, which is very high in fructose). They came up with a new recipe using erythritol as the sweetner. Erythritol does not lead to an increase in blood sugar levels in people with diabetes and is a low calorie sweetner that does not have the same problem as other sugar alcohols in causing gastrointestinal issues. The plus is that it is ideal for baking. The resulting cake was one that we could truly all have and eat it too! It was absolutely delicious - with real cream, nuts and fruit. We are trying to come up with more family get togethers to enjoy the cake - but there is no need for a special occasion to consume this little scrumptious treat one can eat frequently without regret.
Bought my daughter Anayah's 3rd birthday cake from here vanilla flavor and it was absolute pleasure eating it. Everybody enjoyed the taste! Thank you for this as cake are very important when celebrating birthdays! :) This shall be our go to place for all cake needs!
Great baked goods here. Good cakes too. Try a sausage roll oh so good...
Cookies were awesome!
I have been coming to this bakery for over 40 years and the service has always been very friendly and helpful. Today I stopped by to get some cookies. Although there were 4 people at the front and nobody else waiting, I was surprised I had to ask for service. One of the 4 grudgingly served me. I am extremely disappointed and don’t know if I’ll ever go back or recommend this place to anyone else.
I thought that I would try this 4 star rated bakery. I brought a chocolate butter cream cake for a birthday and everyone thought I brought a supermarket cake. The butter cream tasted awful and the cake was dry. Definitely over rated for this place.
I always order cakes and pastries here because it is the high standard of freshness and quality that keeps me coming back along with reasonable prices and helpful staff. I recommend the key lime tarts and the cream puffs for pastries and their mocha cakes.
One of my favourite bakeries... only time they disappoint is when everyone else loves an item as much as you do and they have run out, but there is always a great suggestion on what to try instead, or come back the next day to beat the rush on your favorite items
we just bought a few small burger buns to see if it tastes good and it does! I was eying their cakes but it only looks like sponge cake. not sure if there is variety and such but you should call first. and cakes go up to $20+ for 12' or so, but it might change depending on what type you choose. they have cake toppers for kids and I haven't seen any wedding style cakes, you could ask. cookies looked small compared to what we usually see but I will have to try what they taste like. staff were really good and very helpful. it does seem that they are very very busy. we came in and 3-5 people were already there and they looked like they have been coming here for a long time. there is a #ticket so people can be served but the ticket was not really obvious so we had a good 1 min to search for it. place is a bit cramped when having 5 people, so make sure you give distance as well before stepping in. I'll be coming back for sure.
Quality of baked goodies have never disappointed. Their whipped mocha cream cake is delish!
This is an amazing bakery. It lacks slightly in the options department when it comes to fresh, unsliced bread. But their selection of baked goods and even their small selection of loaves of bread are great!
Awesome cookies. We get our Christmas cookies here and they are just about as good as home-made.
The hazelnut mouse cake is a must try. Mouse cake layered under crispy chocolate coat with crunchy hazelnut on top????. Very reasonable price for everything. So glad I made a stop there and I know I will keep coming back.
I got a 30 serving cake. Overall I was happy. I wish their was more detail given about the cake prior to purchase. I didnt like all the butter cream. I like how it looked more than then the taste. I think they do a good job regardless. Just need more communication about the products before purchase. The blue ombre cake looked amazing!! Everyone loved the unique design.
My family and I have been shopping at this bakery for the last 30 years easily. Hands down one of the best places to pick up beautifully homemade breads, sweets like cookies and cakes as well as pies and bulk buns for special occasions like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Thank you Valley Bakery for the best experience and a life time of memories in yummy treats ????????????
Need more cashier or have one check out for pick and pay and go.
Ordered Rum balls for my boyfriend's birthday. No real rum in them, no discount offered unless you're ordering into the hundreds, which is probably unmanageable for upwards of 95% of their clientele. Wanted to order a cake, too, for me to eat, but they weren't willing to customize it for the small size I wanted. Our place has a small fridge and I ended up going to Safeway and buying one way too big. It's a good bakery, but they're certainly not going out of their way to excel in customer service. They'll end up closing soon enough, I'm sure. There are much mourned places with better customer service that have had to close because of how hard it is now for small businesses and then there's the eventual modernization of Hastings Street coming.
Got several items. The lemon and keylime tarts had amazing filling but the tart cups were very generic store bought quality. The rumballs were delicious. The raspberry tower cupcake was also good but fell short (wish they filled it with jam instrad of leaving a very dry cupcake). The treasure chest chocolate piece was actually very revolting, my friends couldn't finish it and threw them away. Lastly, the braided french bread was very dry and didn't taste even close to french bread, just very tasteless. Not a good bakery in my eyes and I'll try some of the other local ones instead.
They have a good selection of pastries and bread. They are very helpful with my wife's dietary requirements. Good Place
Some of the best in house pasteries around. It can be busy at times but the staff is very quick and knowledgeable. They have an option for everyones taste and even have gluten free options!
Service is a bit messy, even if you pick a number they call it at voice without using the monitor behind the bar. Excellent bakery though.
I've been searching for the perfect chocolate cake and I have found it here. FINALLY. So good you guys, it was worth me travelling to get to it!
One of the best bakeries in Burnaby. I love the onion sourdough and the shortbread cookies.
The best bakery that I never have been around burnaby... The have great bread and pastry... I go every week!!!
I happened upon this phenomenal bakery, while visiting another business to pick up the book I ordered. Even thru my mask, various aromas and the most friendly staff greeted me! While I was offered help by other employees; it was Carma's lovely smile and patience with me, that really stood out! Having not been in this business before, I needed time to wade thru freshly baked goodies, homemade breads, mounds of buttercream, and a endless array of cookies! Having been a baker myself years ago, I can tell when devotion to the art of baking has been accomplished! Well done and I will return again in the future.
Always amazing. Drive out from Poco each year for my mom's birthday cake and a few treats for the road. Best sausage rolls around.
Reasonable price than value.
Polite, friendly, attentive staff. Clean, open space. Decadent plethora of baked goods. The tarts were rich and fruity, but not heavy. The chocolate cake melted in your mouth. I will definitely be back to try other things. After I go to the gym. :D
One of the best bakeries in Vancouver.
There is a true sense of community here. While this place lacks finesse, it is abundant in homeliness and economy. Every time I'm here, I can't help but always walk away with a dozen cookies for the price of a latte. Where else can you find prices like that?? If it's comfort you are looking for, you can't go wrong with this place.
Lots of European pastries to choose from. A good place for Christmas pastries and baked goods.
I couldn't believe the value and quality when I went. Thought they mischarged me. Highly recommend, will be going back frequently for most of my baked goods.
Amazing selection. The cream puffs are out of this world. Sausage rolls tasty too
Great selection of goodies and bread. Usually pretty good service, but can get a bit crowded at times
I've been going here since I was a child, and there are some things that they bake better than anywhere else... try their cinnamon twists. Also, there are lots of well-priced savory items (ie. a decent sausage roll selection) if you need a less-sweet snack for the kids :-)
Generally speaking, we've found this to be a good little bakery. However, we placed an order for my son's birthday and they appear to have completely lost the order. We'll figure something out, but there's going to be a little bit of disappointment for my 6 year old. I know it's a busy and hectic time for many businesses, but I don't know if we'll be back after that experience.
Every time i come vancouver fromkorea i cant miss this bakery
variety of cookies, pastries, bread and cakes!
The cream puffs. You have to try this.
Drove all the way out from Maple Ridge for the whipped cream donuts and sausage rolls!! So delicious! Also grabbed a loaf of their sourdough bread which was fantastic. Worth the trip and will be back again and again!
It's ok.
We just discovered this treasure bakery. We loved their 4.95 for 12 cookies where we can mix and match and try all kinds of options.
Excellent cheese bread, pastries and more. Their Muslim (2020)female staff is awesome with customer service.
Lots of selection, but it's over-rated. I don't see this place any different than other bakeries other than the amount of people in it.
What an amazing bakery, with great vegan choices, hoping they will explore more vegan options.
Butter cookie is the best!! YUMMY!
Excellent neighborhood bakery featuring great quality breads and baked goods at very reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly.
My family has been going to Valley Bakery since I can remember! Always nice to see everyone there. They are friendly and so caring and they cakes, pastries and baked goods are the best!
Butter cookies, cream puffs and cakes are delicious!
I was happy to see that this bakery is still around after being in the same neighbourhood for decades. I had the opportunity to check out the place again after a long absence. They provided an assortment of baked goodies for the holidays – Christmas cake, Christmas stollen, sugar cookies, pastries and cakes. I only bought a loaf of currant bread which was baked to perfection. It had plenty of currants which was still fresh after a couple of days. Not like other bakeries that have a few bits of raisins in each slice. It was under $5 a loaf. I don’t mind paying a bit extra if it’s good. I wasn’t disappointed. They sell an assortment of breads, rolls, cookies, and cakes. Unfortunately, if you’re one or two people, it doesn’t work if you have to buy 12. They don’t offer single quantities to purchase. They also sell vegan products along with frozen puff pastry. My only concern is that it’s a small place and having more than 15 patrons inside made me feel a little uneasy with Covid. Too bad they didn’t limit a certain number of people inside.
(Translated) I went there a lot during my stay in Canada. The cookies here are exquisite! ! Especially peanut chew cookies are recommended. Even if you buy three, it's about a dollar, so it's a great deal. The clerk is kind and the atmosphere of the shop is very cute. If you buy more than 10 cookies, you can wrap them in a box with a logo of the shop! (Original) カナダ滞在中、よく通っていました。 ここのクッキーは絶品です!!とくに、ピーナッツチューイクッキーがおすすめ。3枚買っても、1ドルほどなので、とてもお得です。店員さんも優しいし、お店の雰囲気もとてもかわいいです。クッキーを10枚以上買ったら、お店のロゴ入りのボックスで可愛く包装してくれます!
Not a fan of the cookies here. However, decent prices and you don't need a $5 minimum to use your debit card.
Best cake in Burnaby
Great bakery!!
Awesome service!! Wendy provided excellent service...I will definitely keep coming back!!
I love cookies and pastry from the Valley bakery. I went there 3 times all the way from Abbortsford. But I never go back there. A person who worked there thought I don't know how to read English. I couldn't read name of the cookie because there was no sign for that cookie. Her attitude wasn't right for the customer.
I have been buying their vanilla slices for decades. Their crusty dinner rolls also were unreal! I remember when Portofino restaurant used to be across the street. They used Valley's rolls for their meatball sandwiches. OMG...I misd Portofini so much!
Cheap price=cheap quality
It’s my first time to order here to try one of their product because I was curious why this bakery is always having long line and lots of guest then I tried their Sausage rolls and I love the taste especially if you warm it like steam it will be more tasty. I will come back again to try their other product and I will definitely recommend this bakery to everyone . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hands down best bakery. Everything is made with fresh whipped cream and real butter and baked daily in the bakery. Things have changed a bit, but I am hoping this gem stays the way it is as long as possible. The marzipan logs and eccles cakes are heavenly.
Always yum with friendly staff
Rude customer service! The lady who served us is an Asian with dark hair. We told her multiple times that we wanted the Santa cupcake, she said yes and still forgot to put it in (picture attached) and she used a small box to fit a tall decorated snowman cupcake, and squashed it down, ruining the snowman. Our 4-year old son was upset as we came to the bakery for him. We were planning to purchase more but because of her impatient attitude, we feel rushed by her so we didn’t buy as much as we had hoped. This is our first time coming to the bakery and after this service given to us, will be our last.
See my comments elsewhere. But it's the best bakery in town by far
Valley went above and beyond to get a special cake to my 85 year old parents for Valentines day. They may not understand how much it meant but I wanted to express my sincere gratitude.
Best frssh cookies in the lower mainland
Rude employee alert. They do no have the decency to behave with their customers. I came to their bakery to support local business. But the employees here were extremely rude that I wont be going here ever again.
Love Valley Bakery products and service over the years, but unbelievably slow to wait in line and then in store with one very slow staff gal...never had this experience before...it was painful.
Consistently great neighborhood bakery
I have been coming here since I was a kid with my parents always use to give me a free cookie. The staff is awesome usually come for the cookies and butter crust bread and doughnuts especially the glazed and longjohn are the best.
Large selection of tasty baked goods.
Old school type of bakery, quite good. Real dairy.
Fabulous quality and taste. Best bakery in Burnaby
Great pastries, can improve on costumer service
A take out dessert place with huge selections of sweets from bakery goods, various butter cookies, decorated cupcakes, customized cakes... etc. My favorites are whipped cream donut and lemon buttefly cake. They've limited 4 customers each time and masks are now mandatoryin the store, but one of the lady didn't wear her gloves when she was serving a customer before me. Hope they can be more concerned about it.
I do not know how you mess up a brownie. Tried a variety of treats, I prefer a bakery that doesn't have artificial flavor like those lime tarts! It tasted like a lime mentos. We purchased about 5-8 sweets. I did not get to try any other bakery items such as bread due to me not purchasing them. However they offer a wide range of product! The lemon tart was actually pretty good. They did not taste very artificial. The ladies that were working were pleasant and friendly!
Been going there a long time!
Fresh, High Quality, Great Service, Wholesome, Variety, Fair Priced
My favorite bakery in the world. Been coming here my whole life. I love by Seattle now, but still stop by everytime I'm in Vancouver. Excellent!
The line was always long when I passed by, so I was very curious. Today, i finally had the chance to visit here. The staff was super friendly. There were so many goodies... Eclair was amazing and all the cookiea we got are special. Not overly sweet, but enough sweet with deep flavors. It was a pleasant visit.
The Dutch Bakery in Victoria is my minimum standard for Dutch treats. Although there is lots of variety here, I'd say the flavours are not as prominent (doughnut only ok, vanilla slice, mocha roll). The upside is The Valley Bakery pastries are not overly sweet and prices are extremely affordable. I will be back to try some other items.
(Translated) Good tasting cookies Good tasty cookies (Original) 好品尝饼干 Good tasty cookies
Best bakery!!
Really grateful place and tasty cakes
I came here to pick up some yummy bake goods.due to covid they only allow 4 people in at a time ... There was a line to get in waited outside for about 45 mins with my bubble of 3 we all waited to go in one by one to go in til someone came out and picked out every thing we wanted.but one of the baker was rude and mean told us that one of us had to leave cause there a line of people.. We all waited in that line together.. and went in one after another
Been going here for cookies cakes and pastries for my entire life. Always great!
How can you say anything bad about Valley Bakery. Awesome selection of cookies. The chocolate eclairs are fantastic. Only thing I can say bad about them is that their apple strudels sell out early.
Lovely bakery with friendly staff and delicious Nom noms. Marzipan log FTW.
Friendly people and delicious treats
Delectible treats. We live in Calgary and love this place so much that we have our Burnaby family bring treats every time they visit! Quality ingredients, consistent excellence, reasonable prices, and warm and friendly atmosphere. Just walking into the place is like entering an art gallery of baked goods. We always look forward to our visits!
Reminds me of when I was little l used to shop with my mom. Lime tarts with a wallop of cream on top, buns with cream, homemade cookies, so much more, take a number and you will drool with looking at what they have.
Got way more than I went in for. The mini sausage rolls are delicious. Friendly service!
Excellent bakery, baked goods are fresh and delicious. They have a ton of variety too, with lots of cookies and other small desserts. Friendly staff, and good prices.
they give out cookies for you to try before purchasing lots of variety of cookies
My go to for cakes for any occasion they have delicious butter cream cakes!
Excellent cakes and desserts. Very helpful staff. We specifically wanted the diplomat cakewhich was the best.
20-30 minutes with each customer, 4 customers in the store at a time, 4 employees working the counter. Just expect to wait outside for an hour or two. I would say I loved or hated the baked goods but you can't get in to try anything. When a business has a year to adapt a streamlined method and fails... It just shows incompetence on the highest level.
The best bakery in town. Cookies, cakes with all kinds. Very delicious , one you have those goodies, cakes or cookies... load of bread. I believe you will come back also you will experience yourself the taste difference between Valley Bakery and others Bakeries as well. Also , all ladies who are working in there not only Beautiful also very sweet just like those delicious cookies in there ???? ???? ???? Strongly recommen. My kids ❤️ love to go there. Nancy and Mary
Delicious cakes and pastries, however unprofessional customer service. Nicely asked staff if they could rewrite on my cake and after some time of confusion and weird looks from the back of the house, I get the “Take it or leave it” attitude from them. Was not expecting this type of behavior from Valley bakery. Problem solving is key! Ignorance is not!
Friendly staffs welcome my children right away. I didnt expect them to give them free cookies. Always happy with the service and products! Please keep up the good work!!!! Thanks staffs and pastry chefs for making my children smile with your delicious cookies.
Great old school bakery. The cakes are great. But becareful of the cookies. A few times I got stale cookie. But I usually only get the cakes.
This bakery doesn’t have bread but toast. If you’re looking for Dutch toast great but don’t go for bread. Idk what’s wrong with ppl writing this is a German bakery. That’s just insulting.
been going here since i was a kid in the 80s. i still go for the cookies regularly.
Ordered a nut-free cake for my mom's 50th birthday. When we went in, they had put peanut shavings around the cake. ??? They couldn't give us any other cake for her birthday and since it was to be picked up on the day of her birthday, we weren't able to order a cake elsewhere. So disappointed since the only thing she had asked for was "a cake from Valley Bakery."
Reasonable prices and delicious desserts. The snow balls (mini cream puffs) are a personal favourite - love them!
We just had a black forest cake for a co-workers birthday. Phenomenal !!!
Favorite when in Vancouver
My daughter wanted a grumpy cat cake for her birthday. The staff was amazing and the cake turned out fantastic and tasted delicious!!! Highly recommend!!!
Usually the pastries are fresh and fabulous, but last visit, we could taste a "fridge or freezer-like" smell & flavor to some of the creams and icing. ???? A little disappointing since we come all the way from Abbotsford.
They have these yummy fresh home made buns that are amazing
The baked goods are at their usual high standard. With physical distancing oh, it didn't make the speed of service any faster. But in all it was satisfactory with only four people in the bakery at one time
An excellent selection of baked goods, cookies, sweets and breads. Well worth the trip their baked goods are delicious
Valley Bakery is a great place! We went there for a sugar free cake and was amazed at how much other stuff they have. I felt seriously like a kid in a candy store, so overwhelemed by everything. The staff was so helpful and kind. The actual treats were good, nothing fantastic but for sure did the trick. The sugar free cake however was AMAZING!!!!! We have gone back now a few times for the sugar free cake even when we dont need it to be sugar free. Simple and delicious!!!! Thanks ValleyBakery! :)
Love this bakery. The cakes are delicious and not too sweet. My go to place for cake for any event. The pictured cake was amazing. Exceeded my expectations!
Awesome bakery with great pastries
Very very very slow counter service ... And I mean painfully slow .. At a non busy 2pm I waited 25 min to get served ... Lots of buzzing around and stocking displays but did not seem in a rush at all to get people moving 3 ladies working but ...
Super busy on Sat but great service!! Their cookies are great price and tasty! Edit: the young girl kept making mistakes every time I go in to order. I'm getting annoyed now. I wanna go back but to think she'll make mistakes again on my order it's makes me hesitate. I guess I should've checked the box before I left... but no one else made mistakes and the orders are so simple (I only got two kinds) that I didn't think to do it
Awesome. They have proper Australian vanilla slices
Best Bakery in town...you have to try the Butter crisp!!
The service has really deteriorated to the point of being non-existent. I went in today and the bakery was empty as the prior customer had just left. I walked up to the service counter and stood there waiting for service while 4 staff members completely ignored me. After about 4 minutes of waiting I just walked out of the bakery. I was shocked that I was not served or even acknowledged. The baked goods are of high quality and I used to be a very frequent happy customer, but now I feel the service is just so bad that I realize I'll have to find another place to shop.
I'm not really happy with the cake they made for my daughters first Birthday, I asked for Minnie Mouse face and it was confimred from their side that its going to be Minni-Mouse Shape and we agreed on the price. So dissappointed cause its my daughters first birthday . I wish I can post a photo.
I've been going here for a daily 'treat walk' for the last few days and its really a great way to make your day a bit better. I don't know much about baking, but their selection is great and everything I've tried has been delicious. When you walk into the store, you get the impression that they've been doing things the right way for a long time. The staff are good folks.
Excellent service as always. Best quality products and baked goods. Appreciate that the Bakery is open and serving customers in a safe way.
Never disappoints
Overcharged transaction to my credit card - I used the tap option on my credit card, and due to the height of the counter, I couldn’t see the amount that was listed on the machine. After I got home, I realized they added an entire digit to my total amount ($x.xx became $xx.xx instead). Credit company would not let me dispute because tapping means you authorized the amount at the point of purchase :( so PLEASE VERIFY the amount you are paying with the counter person before you tap! The fruit pastries I got were not fresh. I think the pastry might have been a couple days old, as the fruit was leaking moisture/juices onto the pastry itself, causing it to be soggy (and the fruit to appear deflated). Maybe if you pick the right time and day to go it would be alright. But price-wise it’s a pretty good deal. Just not as good of a deal for me because I got overcharged by a whole figure :(
A well known bakery in north Burnaby that specializes in european desserts, cakes, pastries & breads. I love their fresh homemade sausage rolls, mini lemon tarts & xmas cookies.
Fantastic as usual.
Miss this bakery. I moved to the Okanagan and have been to almost every bakery, and not one comes close to Valley Bakery. At this time of the year I would really love to have a couple of the Christmas cakes. They are the best ♥️
Great bakery. Love the cakes
My family has been going to this bakery for over 40 years. We always get the same cake. Vanilla with fruit on top, whip cream, and roasted almonds. Recipe hasnt changed. So delicious.
Amazing food and service - great prices for the quality of goods.
We waited very patiently outside in the line (because they only allow 4 people inside, which I think is very good) then after approximately 15min of waiting, we entered for the first time, obviously we wanted to see everything they had in detail to choose from, it took us 2 minutes or less inside because the girl who attended told us that there are more people waiting outside and that we have to hurry in a not very friendly tone, which is very ridiculous since there were two other people inside waiting to be attended and 3 girls who work there without being able to attend them because: we still did not decide? Why didn't they just attend to those who already knew they were going to order? so they could have given us at least 5 minutes inside after 15min or more of waiting outside to get in, terrible service.
The absolute BEST bakery! Everything is made with real cream and butter. The cookies are fabulous and the eccles cakes are heavenly. They are made in a cast iron pan at this location, nobody makes them better! I also love the petit fours and the marzipan logs! Totally worth the drive. No matter where I am, if I'm in the lower mainland, I make a point to stop by.
Great variety of sweets and breads. They also do custom cakes
Friendly, knowledgeable about ingredients in their baked goods.
These guys are fantastic. I got so busy this week I forgot to order a cake for my wife's birthday. Called at 3pm and Valley can hook me up with a Mocha Birthday cake with name and everything for pick up at 6. WOW! You're the best.
Great pastries! Drive from Surrey to get as nothing compares. Amazing selection!!!
I ordered a birthday cake for my 2 year old’s party. It was delicious. All the kids and their parents enjoyed it. Very prompt service and the cake was just what I wanted. Highly recommend!
For over 25 years, the Black Forest Cake has been a gem in our family.
Great bakery for sweets. Cakes are amazing and the cookies are a great deal.
Cake was dry and bland. We got a plain vanilla cake. Staff was friendly, but not accommodating to simple requests. Limited colours for writting anything on the cake unless its ordered ahead of time. Maybe its best to order ahead of time for freshness rather than pick up a ready made cake.
Great quality. Cookies 4.59 a d's
Pastry and bread always fresh and good quality.
Delicious, always busy and for a reason! The prices are very fair
So we went here to get a cake for my husband’s 50th Birthday 2 weeks in advance. Went to pick it up and they say they lost the ticket. Even though the girl that took my order remembers me. There solution was Sorry and here is your store credit. Total BS or two small cakes nothing like the I ordered. Would only recommend if you want disappointment. Staff tried to help but manager ignored me and was useless
Love Valley Bakery baking. Have been getting baking here for over 50 years.
European style bakery with huge variety of baked goods. Lots of samples offered so you can try before you buy. Not very sweet - a little bland to my personal taste. Can get very busy - take a number and wait to be served.
Visited today once again to pick up various items for an event. . Wonderful friendly girls today and always fabulous yummies
Awesome! I had a cake emergency, they opened early and sent me on my way with a cake within 2 minutes.
Disappointed to say I saw a large roach in the cookies. I don't think I will shop there again.
Amazing baked goods great staff
A North Burnaby institution and one of the best bakeries in the Lower Mainland!
Got the butter cream cake and it was delicious.
Got a couple of baguettes! So good and very fresh!
Ta best
Always fresh & friendly ????
Staff are excellent. The cakes are excellent too! I ordered cakes for my aunties birthday and anniversary cake for another auntie and we like it very much. It's not that sweet and not too much butter and icing. Keep up the good job :-) i love the cookies too. Worth the price ????
Best cookies!!
My sister just brought me some delicious cookies all the way to Kamloops. Its a must stop if we are in town. An online store would be great but I'll be back no matter what.
Prices are ok, service was not very good. Products are not labeled, so it's difficult to convey what product you want to the salesperson. Number dispenser is nest to the exit. (This is particularly brilliant.) Pick a number sign is not prominently displayed. Social distancing is impossible with the layout they have. Won't be back.
Delicious, delicious, delicious!
