Prices slightly on the high side but quality is superb, you get what you pay for!

Espresso chocolate cake was amaaaazing. All the people at the party liked it. Staff was so helpful with me picking a cake with no gelatin and alcohol. They have a seating area to drink hot beverages and baked stuff. Highly recommend this place. Location near the sea so it is the best option to take a coffee and have a walk in the area.

Everything from cake to donuts was delicious! Service could've been a bit more open and warm, will definitely be back!

I love their donut cakes, it’s unique and so so good. Now and then i will crave their donut cakes and i will go all out either get 4 or half a dozen. My favourites are the Earl Grey and Red Velvet <3 Also the service is great, fast and efficient! Ive been going here for the past 5 yrs since i discovered this place. My go-to place for western cakes in Richmond. One of the best!

I ordered a special cake for my son graduation from UBC and running late because of the traffics, they called and offered me if the shop closed when I get there, they will be in the back and just knock at the door, amazing experience just for that alone, the cake is beyond my expectations, the look, the taste and they even decorated the cake with the grad hat on it, thank you so much and my family loved the cake , especially my son. Thank you for a great job!

I bought a Chocolate Diplomat cake for a family birthday and it was so delicious. The sponge cake was a gorgeously light texture and the buttercream icing was sweet and also very light.

I was reading reviews of this place because I'm trying to find if anyone has ordered the carrot cake before and how they find it, I'm ordering one today for the first time. But I frequently get other cakes and cake donuts from diplomat because of the great variety and quality for a reasonable price. There aren't many places where you can walk in and buy a cake and have them personalize it right then and there without a pre-order, it's a wonderful service. The other reason I'm writing this is put my strong opinion in that the red velvet cake donuts are absolutely the best thing ever! Another reviewer wrote they didn't like them that it should be more of a donut, but it literally says cake donut, it's a cake in the shape of a donut and the cream cheese frosting is out of this world. My whole family loves them and I get them as a very special treat.

Cakes are a little expensive but the quality is excellent! I got the hazelnut cake and it was delicious! I will definitely order more cakes in the future.

Tried a few cakes. Paying $6.50 for such a tiny narrow slice I expected something higher than average taste, but they appeared just ok. Besides, some cakes differ by name and exterior, but made of very similar layers of just different colours and slightly different flavours. And what they call 'cheesecake' is not a conventional cheesecake. It's just a cake.

This bakery has been running for many years in Richmond and has a great reputation. I’ve supported them a lot over the last 2 decades, at the old location and now their newer one in Steveston. The cakes always look beautiful. Today I went in and tried their “donuts” and was so extremely disappointed. They are $5.99 each and I bought two. They’re not donuts at all.. they’re donut-shaped cakes with a gross cream on top… I guess it’s buttercream? But it doesn’t taste right at all. I’m so irritated that I wasted so much money. Had two bites of the red velvet before tossing it and only half a bite of the salted caramel. It was absolutely not worth the calories or the $12. The sign does say “cake donuts”, so I did prepare myself for them being more like cake than a donut, but the taste of everything was still so disappointing. I would caution against trying them, as cute as they look. I’ve never really had a cake or donut (or really, any baked good) I didn’t like.. so that says a lot.
