Gratia Bakery & Cafe - Maple Ridge, British Columbia

This bakery has very nice interior with well organized area to sit. We order croissants and eggs Benedict with ham and bacon, and couple of lattes. Everything went smoothly with our order but my opinion is that nothing was fresh except coffee. With that price range in Maple Ridge we ... were very disappointed maybe it was a bad timing 11:00am so we will come back and give this place another chance… Read more

Local cafe with lots of character! The lattes were beautiful made and the barista was very friendly! Great cafe to enjoy your day. UPDATE Today I waited 40 min outside to be helped as I had my teacup puppy with me and knew I couldn’t bring her in. She doesn’t have a ... leash since she doesn’t go on the floor. I waited politely at the back door to be helped but none of the baristas helped me even though they saw I was holding a dog. In the past I was asked to wait in line with the dog so I did just that I brought the dog in my hands to quickly order food and go back outside, I explained to the barista helping me I am just quickly paying and will be sitting outside and if they could bring my food there. She said she will just give them to me now so I waited for less then two minutes for her to do just that. During that time a barista that was not even the one helping me interrupted and informed me my dog can’t be inside I explained I understand and proceeded to explain the situation but she repeated she can’t be inside… refusing to listen I walked away and went outside which was my original plan. Although I don’t know her name the barista is Asian and she did not handle the situation with kindness and understanding. Especially when the customers intention was to simply follow the rules. It is wonderful to have pet friendly spaces in our neighborhood but please when working be cautious of your surroundings as being a barista is more than just making the food and drinks and looking down. Also assume the best in your customers as it is no one’s intention to break the rules. Also assume the best in your coworkers and that they are handling the situation without you having to intervene.

I have passed by this place for years driving through maple ridge and noticed it today, decided to stop and give it a try and I’m glad I did! Food and baked goods are very fresh, coffee was very good as well! The smoked Salmon sandwich is very good and ... would definitely recommend it! Read more

This place Never disappointed me. Great food and baked goodies. Awesome Atmosphere. Amazing customer service. Love this cafe. Highly recommended!

Good variety and selection of foods. The croissants were standouts, coated with a crunchy cookie-like crust which was quite innovative. Coffee was decent but lacked a bit of depth. Found cappuccino a bit too milky without the rich, bold coffee flavour. Service was a bit slow and somewhat distracted. Not a ... lot of communication between staff. Many just standing around aimlessly. I had to come up to the counter and ask for my drink. The washrooms were in an absolutely despicable state — they stank, there was no toilet paper, garbage was overflowing, wet toilet paper all over the floor. Very unsanitary. Read more
