The White Chocolate Baileys cake here is incredible—rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Easily one of the best cakes I’ve had in Richmond.

I’ve been here a couple of times, and every single time it’s been for the butter shortbread cookies! Why are these so hard to find elsewhere? They’re absolutely delicious — yummy, yummy!

Beautiful pastries and strong coffee. Best place to stop in the area for a sweet break! It can get busy due to it's popularity like any place in the Lower Mainland.

Cakes are exactly as I want them, not too sweet, good texture and rich flavors. I had mocha with almond milk and tastes like it was your regular mocha, better than Starbucks. This place is a nice spot to hangout during summers BUT still cozy spot during the winter time.

Do not serve customers in order. Very overpriced. Cakes do not taste as high quality as in past. Don’t waste your money.
Our regular birthday cake go to bakery unfortunately closed so I searched for another that had good reviews on a Black Forest cake... Diplomat popped up and was close to work, a definite plus. Ordered one over the phone for the next day, which they were able to do! a plus plus😅 So without knowing what to expect other than the good reviews the friendly lady working the counter handed me the cake and my first thought was, WOW this weighs a tonne!! It was their smallest cake at 7 inches for 8-10 slices. I was now anticipating what it tasted like and when we did... WOW!! a very decadent interpretation of a classic. One of the layers was silky chocolate mousse laced with brandied cherries along with dark moist cake layers and fresh whipped cream then finished nicely with dark cherry halves on the top. It was DEVINE. A big thank you to Diplomat Bakery and it's very capable bakers, can't wait to try their other vast offerings in the future. They may be a little out of the way for some but well worth the effort getting there so don't hesitate, it'll be well worth it!!!

Small little bakery in size, but plenty of delicious options on-site. If you're ever craving some sweet treats in the south Richmond area, Diplomat Bakery will never disappoint. Their pastry selection is vast, and everything looks and tastes good (I've also seen people pre-order whole cakes before).
Inside seating can be a little challenging if you have a large group. But they do have tables and chairs for outside seating as well. Service is usually quick, and the facilities are always clean.

I picked up their triple-layer chocolate mousse cake for my husband’s birthday, and it was incredible. We enjoyed every bit of it. Diplomat Bakery just earned a permanent spot as my go-to place for birthday cakes.

Great place. Pastries are amazing! Lots of selection. Friendly staff AND I like how they don't prompt you for a tip when you pay. Kudos!
