La Foret Bakery & Coffee

Beautifully set up brunch spot! The aesthetics are top class. The food was good but I though it was too pricey for what was served. The 5 different types of sausages in my $22 platter, seemed like the run of the mill deli type. The Spanish latte was very good, the waffles chewy and nice. I might go back for the vibe, but will try out something other than the platter. I also found the plate size to be on the smaller side, so it was hard to get to the salad without dropping a bit on the table.

Beautiful and aesthetic place to hang with friends and family to eat some fun food! We ordered double chocolate pastry, chicken sandwich, chocolate and banana waffle and chicken with fires. Everything tasted delicious l, loved the fluffy waffle and chocolate pastry one of the best I've had around the city. The place is very spacious and beautiful and kids absolutely love it.

The Good: - first time coming here so wasn't sure what to expect. It looks like small place from the front, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how big it is when I walked in. Easily could sit a 100+ people as the pics will show. So no problem getting a table for 4 on a Sunday morning brunch time (I arrived at 9am; left around 11am and still plenty of room). - place is clean and at no time did I see dirty dishes and plates left about. That said, I cleaned up after myself when I was done. - food comes quick. You get a buzzer with your order so that you can sit down and not stand around waiting. Ordered two 'platters' for 3 of us. The Bad: - "platters" are smaller than a normal breakfast plate at Denny's or Cora's, which are similarly priced (low $20s). The Ugly: - Coffee is $3 for a regular size cup but is NOT refillable so I had to nurse my one cup of coffee; supplemented by cups of water.

This was the first time we visit this place and we liked it. The entire design was quite modern with very high ceiling. The menu was has a reasonable wide selection of items that could meet the expectations from all kinds of people whether you are a meat lover, vegan, vegetarian, or on a more restricted diet temporarily. Food came out rather quickly and the service was good too. The inside was kept clean and tidy. The only down side is that they don’t have a lot of parking space compare to the number of tables they have.

Lovely spot with amazing conception! So spacious with high ceiling and skylights where natural lighting, a nice mini-tropical forest in the centre of the space, plenty of seating options including a concrete bench, modern decor, wide food and beverage options. Tried the chicken and waffles. Looks amazing! Chicken was tasty and cut into handy bitesize pieces. Waffles also were delicious. On the other hand, it’s pricey :( The LONG waiting time could upset you though. Looking forward to seeing more locations.

The food surprised my expectations and the menu was quite unique. I enjoyed the bulgogi sandwich on squid ink bread and we also got the chicken platter. The vanilla lavender drink was really good. The natural lighting and all the plants made this a nice place to visit, hangout and take pictures. I wish I could try some of the cakes.

I visited this cafe many times. Finally I am writing a review about it. The layout remains the same but they have moved the bread and buns in individual packing to the front of the cafe. When customers come in and lineup for food/payment, they can grab the bread and buns right away. The lineup was not too long. It usually depends on when you go. Menus are on their website or they have paper menus at the cashier, so customers can look at them while waiting in line. I ordered the bacon and waffle platter, a regular latte and a matcha latte. All of them were good. They have many varieties in terms of coffee beverage, breakfast, desserts, and etc. Customers must be able to find something to eat or order from their menus. Once the food was ordered, I got a small vibrating machine. It would vibrate when the food was ready for pickup. I could go find a table first. The cafe has changed to use wooden cutlery instead of plastic. It’s better and more environmental friend. However, it was hard to use the wooden fork to pick up food from the plate. I must use a spoon or knife to help at the same time. It was funny. A sign at the cafe would tell customers that if we ordered food, we could stay for two hours. If we ordered a beverage only, we could only stay for an hour. That makes sense, so customers can’t just sit at a table for hours especially ones who bring laptops or work to the cafe. Would I recommend this cafe to others? Yes! It’s such a popular restaurant in Burnaby now. Lots of street parking in the residential area.
