  This is a small bakery located in Davie Village with quite a big selection of cookies, cakes, donuts, and other treats. During my visit to their shop, I got a variety of their cakes (Double Chocolate, Carrot, Mocha Cream, Lamington, Belgian Chocolate and Chocolate) as well as a Cinnamon Bun. Although I thought that the quality of their baked goods weren’t the highest, they were still quite enjoyable; I really enjoyed their smaller, simpler cakes while their fancier layered ones seemed to have a bit of an odd fermented flavour that I didn’t care for. The prices are also very reasonable. Just a small warning: I did read an article published last year stating that this bakery was due to close soon. As of right now (September 2018) it is still open. I don’t know if the owners have managed to come to a new agreement, or if the closure has just bbeen delayed. If you want to try this place out, I’d recommend doing it soon just in case it closes. Double Chocolate Cake ($3.50):3.5/5This cosnsited of layers of chocolate cake sandwiching chocolate icing. The cake itself was quite tender and moist, and seemed to have a slight fermented/alcohol flavour. The icing was the standard variety made from icing sugar, and was a bit on the sweeter side, but was still enjoyable.Carrot Cake ($2.40):4/5The cake was quite moist, with a good amount of carrots, raisins, and nuts. The icing was standard, with a bit of tang. This was a very simpe and basic cake, but done quite well.Cinnamon Bun ($3.45):3/5The bun, although cold, was still quite tender and fluffy. It was very flavourful, having a generous amount of cinnamon sugar and raisins. I was not the biggest fan of the icing, which was just a simple sugar variety, and not cream cheese.Lamington ($2.40):4/5This is a coconut cake coated in chocolate and more coconuts. The cake was dense but moist. The chocolate had great flavour and was not waxy, while the coconut provided a great fragrance.Belgian Chocolate Cake ($2.40):4/5This contained chocolate cake coated in a shell of chocolate. The cake was tender and moist and the chocolate was not waxy.Mocha Cream Cake ($3.25):3/5The cake was quite tender and moist. The icing didn’t seem to have much flavour other than sweetness. I also found the cake to have a slightly weird, fermented/alcoholic smell that was a tad off-putting though not terrible offensive. Chocolate Cake ($3.25):3.5/5The cake was a bit hard and dense, but still quite moist. AS with the mocha cream cake, I found the icing to be a bit one-note in flavour, and the cake to have an odd fermented/alcoholic smell to it. I did enjoy it a bit more than the mocha cake however.Summary:Food: 3.5/5Price: 4.5/5Service: N/AOverall: 4/5Recommendations: Lamington, Belgian Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake

  A little no-frills family owners bakery with a variety of delicious baked goods! I’ve only tried their cookies and they are reasonably priced and delicious…not too sweet and nothing too fancy. Just plain and simple goodness.

  We have been customers since 1995. Even though we moved to West Vancouver, Maple Leaf Bakery is still our favourite for the items and travel to get our bake items from them.

  Great place, I can buy basically anything there and it’s great! However the rice crispy squares don’t have enough marshmallows.
