Maple Leaf Bakery

Bread loaves, cookies, egg rolls oh my! This place has it all and quite good may I add. We visited this lovely little bakery maybe too many times in our 3 day stay in Vancouver.
The place never disappointed, just don’t expect a tart lemon bar if you get the lemon bar… it was too sweet for me. We probably bought all the egg rolls they made, the boy was a fan of their chicken pie. We warmed them up in the oven at our place.
The girl was happy with her random cookie purchase as well. Every time we went the staff was patient and helpful, answering the boy’s questions of what tastes better. My kids are totally like me, I love it!
I will definitely be back if I’m in the lovely city of Vancouver. This little bakery made an impact not only on my pant size but also on my heart!

They make the best multi grain and whole wheat bread and its better than store bought or other big chains to my opinion. Friendly staff, great location and decently priced! I don’t know about the sweet stuff but the bread is delicious!

I only wish we had been there long enough to try more. We loved this place five years ago, and we love it now. The baguette, the chocolate croissant, the almond tart, the friendly face behind the counter. What a treat.

Very good bread and bake goods

Average bakery with average pastries. Nothing that is too outside the box but for something cheap in the area it is decent. Customer service is awesome. It’s not a fancy bakery at all.

quality fast food style bakery, (ie, not fancy, gourmet style).
I’ve been here several times after discovering the nearby Cob’s had an unfriendly staff (witnessed another customer’s conversation with the staff and I decided to this bakery instead).
Their prices are definitely reasonable, below the big chain store pieces, and the quantity is very large, though not exactly the same level as Breka…
My fav here is their huge/​heavy/​unusual poppy seed pastry, DH and I have never had one like this before and appreciated the uniqueness of this ingredient combination.
Other things such danishes and muffins, danishes were way too sweet for my taste buds and I would probably skip in the future. The Date square is pretty good though.
I imagine this is more of a bread shop than pastry shop.

Worst rice crispy treat ever! They told me they make it just like on the box, but no one would ever again combine marshmallow and crispies if that was the result. I bought my rice crispy treat and walked out the door before I looked at it and realized I didn’t see marshmallow. I went back in and asked if they used marshmallow and they insisted yes, so I went in my way. After one bite it was clear there were no marshmallows, but corn syrup or some other binding syrup. Sad day.

Amazing. I have been going to this bakery for five years since I moved to Vancouver.
They are reasonably priced, well located, and everything I have ever had from there has been delicious.
I especially like the dark rye, apple squares and danishes.
Damn, this review is making me hungry… Don’t go there too often or you’ll get fat!
Nice contrast from many locations in Vancouver that focus way too much on style over substance. Nothing flashy here except excellent food.

This place have such a high rating, so I wanted to try it.
Donuts were just ok.
Cheese cake was not so good actually.

Real. Whipped. Cream. Real whipped cream. That’s all I want. No custard or oily tasting simulated whipped topping. And I had it. Finally. Today. A sinful delicious éclair that I inhaled in 2.0 seconds. Okay maybe 5.0 Anyway, my point was it was DELICIOUS. There are sooooo many treats in there it was hard to decide but this is what I have been craving for weeks. Ty. (:

I love this place! I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it before. I pretty much always pop in here when I’m down on Davie St. My favorite thing to get is the 6 pack of linser cookies, they go great with a hot cup of PG tips tea. I’m also on a sort of mission to try all of their sweet treats… It’s an ambitious goal, but I’m dedicated. I really like the little triangle cakes. The almond triangles are good if you’re in the mood for something more decadent. Honestly, I’ve never had something there that I didn’t like. Their bread is also very good. And everything is sooo cheap. It’s the best.

We stopped in to get a snack before dinner since our tummies were a rumblin. We grabbed a couple samosas and the BF had a gigantic apple turnover (which I didn’t even get a bite of cuz he inhaled the damn thing — so I can’t really tell you how it was.) The veggie samosas are just over $ 2 and they are nice and soft on the inside and not too overly breaded on the outside — which was awesome.
I took my samosa home and heated it up, and it was filled with yummy veggies and tasted sooooo good. My only gripe is that there was no chutney with it, so it seemed kind of dry, and since it was my first visit to the bakery I am not sure if they just forgot to put some in our bag or if it actually doesn’t come with chutney at all. Guess I will have to venture back and find out another time.

We stopped by after dinner on a weekday evening to get something for dessert for each of us. The server really wanted to rush us through our order. They had a huge selection and it all looked really good. Badgering with «Are you ready?» every minute until one person has made a selection and then asking «is that all?» after every item when it’s clear members of the family are still looking is pretty rude and not customer friendly.
The apple fritter was really quantity over quality. It would benefit from being fresh.
The double chocolate cookie was okay. Again, it would benefit from being fresh.
The éclair was actually not good. Fresh might have helped, but the cream was crumbly. It wasn’t even frozen and so crumbly, it was just old. The pastry part was dry and the chocolate wasn’t very good. Overall, wasn’t even worth eating.
The cream horn, on the other hand, shone. Two people tried it and said it was excellent.

Three stars only because the pastry is tasty.
But be sure to give them your money and shut up —
they are not into customer service or caring about what you
bought if something was wrong with the purchase.
I had been shopping there for years
and only once was there an issue: I had purchased a bag of pastry,
and forgotten it on the counter.
I called when I got home
but was accused of not telling the truth in not so many words.
The bag was not on the counter when they went to look for it.
Obviously some other customer had helped themselves to it.
But they flatly — and loudly — refused to help me out.
And that was the end of that.
Never returned.
BOTTOM LINE; THESE PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS.

If you have a craving for something sweet and a few dollars in your pocket this is the place to go!
I can’t beleive I spend 2 years just walking past this bakery like it didn’t even exist! It wasn’t until I had a craving for a chocolate criossant and the ones at Cob’s looked nasty that I discovered this jem and I am glad I did.
Everything here is really goooood and it’s almost all under $ 3.00.
I am addicted to their triple chocolate brownies. I think I even dreamt about these brownies once!

i picked the wrong week to stop eating carbs
this place reminded me of all the bakeries i went to as a kid in toronto.
old school, aromatic, and DELICIOUS.
pecan pie
lemon meringue pie
hermit cookies
peanut butter cookies
fresh baked bread
mmmmmnnnnnnnn sooooooo good…

Unpretentious, neighborhood joint. Prices are very reasonable. What is great here:
1. very cheap pies
2. the bigs apple strudels
3. meringues
4. the mini cookies
5. fancy cake slices
Good place to buy baking for a party — they will always tie it up in a nice little box for you.

This place is like my crack. It’s nothing overly fancy but so damn good and reminds me of home. I love the pastries, bread, cream puffs, danishes and anything else I shouldn’t eat.
The staff are friendly, helpful, and aren’t terribly chatty. Don’t expect anything organic or frills of any kind, just simple white flour goodness.

The best bakery in the Westend. Nothing fancy here, just really good baked goods and cheap cheap cheap. My picks would be the apple squares, danishes, hermit cookies and something called a Copenhagen, not sure if that’s a common baked good, but it was new to me. Haven’t tried the breads, pies or cakes but those look pretty yummy as well.

This bakery has been here since I was in high school and the same lady still works behind the counter. Well she is the owner, but still! She looks not a day older than the last time I saw her. It’s not very fancy inside and the décor is older looking, no fancy displays or creative pastries here, just good old staples: bread of all kinds, Chinese pastries, croissants and buns, some European inspired baked goods and cakes. The bakery is in the back and they do have a fresh selection everyday. The bets part? It’s open on most holidays and is really inexpensive.
