First time here since the bakery came under new ownership last year, but it didn't disappoint! We thought the variety of pastries and their quality were not compromised. Ordered some sausage rolls, cookies, their pear tart, and pistachio roll. The sausage rolls had adequate meat filling. With the cookies, we're allowed to mix & match when purchasing a dozen or half a dozen. Good nutty flavours for the almond and caramel crunch cookies, and the jam shortbread still maintained its moistness! The pistachio roll still tasted great the day after when warmed in the microwave to allow the inner filling to melt.The only issue we had was with the pear tart and separating it from the outer wrap/paper. It was stuck and we had difficulty peeling it off, so had to basically scoop and eat the pastry from the attached paper. Will return to try some different pastries and baked goods! Hopefully they update their website in the near future, as itemizing their products would be valuable for new customers.

Key Lime tarts are AMAZING, and the value is pretty good. I'm glad I don't live too close, I would probably gain a lot of weight.

The valley bakery is very nostalgic and I used to go with my grandma and I used to always get the pink and yellow shortbread cookies. Recommend for everyone! 5 stars ⭐️

I ordered my sister and husband's Birthday Cake. It was the whipping cream cake with fruit on top. It was so good!!! I was worried when they sold the product would change but it was just as delicious as ever. Customer service is really good.
Maybe the best bakery in VancouverLovely staff and really good

My family used to get birthday cakes here in the 80’s. I recently got a vanilla buttercream cake here and it was super nostalgic with the icing roses and almond slivers on the side. It tasted even better than I remember with just the right amount of sweetness, not too much buttercream heaviness and a really nice lemony accent.

This place is under new management. I received a beautifully presented birthday cake for my 60th birthday which was exactly the same style and high quality of birthday cakes I received when I was a very young person. It's fabulous to know that you can still get a traditional Valley Bakery birthday cake even as so many other things in the city have changed or are no longer available.

We've been to Valley bakery many times now and it delights us every time. The bakery items always taste so delicious and fresh especially all the cakes with whipped cream icing which feel so light. I love their surprise baskets too. I recently got my daughter's birthday cake made by them, a tall purple cake with vanilla sponge and nougat filling and I'm finishing it off greedily, not offering the leftovers to anyone in my house LOL. This place is a gem!
Absolutely wonderful pastries and coffee. I'd definitely recommend their turnovers and Spanish latte. They also had free samples of some of their items.

If you can never eat the milky stuff, definitely don’t miss out on their cream puffs! It is just incredible 5 stars to that!
We are loooong time customers and a little disappointed with our recent batch of lemon and lime tarts. Serious shrinkflation - tarts shells are much smaller and filling much less - but price has increased significantly. Original lemon curd replaced with we know not what but a very bitter taste. We will be back to try some of the new items but very sad that our longtime favorites have gone downhill. We will give it one more shot!

Went in for the first time after my friend brought some treats to a dinner party. The most MISERABLE grumpy looking older lady behind the counter. I was pleasent and upbeat. Worst $50 dollars spent. Will not be back.
