Ordered six Creme croisaants package from their website ( it's online only) for $48 after tax, very valuable. Creme is fresh and they present very well!
I had seen some reviews for this place and was intrigued by all the goodies I saw in the photos. Unfortunately, when I stopped in they had almost nothing left in the display case. I got an almond croissant and a lemon tart as they were some of the only items left that weren't cake. Both of them were quite good, but I've had better croissants. The lemon tart was something I'd definitely order again though. Very good lemon flavour and not too sweet. Service was standard counter service, nothing exceptional there. There was a small lineup when I arrived, about 6 people ahead of me, but it moved fairly quickly. It was busy but not excessively loud. Seemed like a nice place to grab a coffee and a pastry with a friend. I just wish the parking situation was better. Very small lot out front and almost no available parking on the street. I'd return at a less busy time, if there is such a time!
I got the sweet potato latte for the very first time. It was pleasantly delicious. It had a slightly roasted flavor, not too sweet, and was very smooth. The customer service was prompt and friendly. The rest of the bakery looked like they had a lot of good options. Seating is limited
First time coming to the Royal Oak location after being a huge fan of the jubilee location for years. Its interior is small and cozy, but there's no seating inside. The way they decorated it is nice and simple. There are some tables outside, but very limited. They're super slow. It was a weekday at lunch time, there isn't a rush of people.. but they take their time. There were only two people in front of me who ordered one drink each, but my entire interaction from waiting in line to getting my drink took about 20 mins. The workers were nice, but seemed a little inefficient. Drinks and food were good-- about the same quality as the other location. I probably wouldn't come back for leisure, but I would for convenience if I need coffee nearby.
Met a friend for lunch at La Foret. First time here. Very busy and limited parking (luckily I walked!) Snagged an outdoor table. Food was tasty but I wasn't wowed. Perhaps I should try the Jubilee location next time as I've heard there is more selection there? I was intrigued by the loaf with squid ink. Might purchase that next time to see what it is like.
Was introduced to La Foret when my office ordered their sandwiches for catering. The sandwiches were so good, I had to check out the actual location. This is a full brunch/cafe/lunch spot with so many items on the menu from specialty drinks, cakes, full brunch items, sandwiches and pasta. I usually don't enjoy how overwhelming and out of theme big menus are but La Foret made me want to come back to try out more dishes/baked goods. This time, we came for a very light breakfast, we got an americano, a golden apple oat latte, the banana cake and coffee bun. Everything was very good and tasty. Especially loved the crispy bits on the coffee bun. This was a $20 order. Parking is very limited at the restaurant. There are some street parking around the residential area. Great decor and ambiance, very open space, lots of greenery. On a Sunday morning, there were already lots of people there.
WHEN: Sun @11:45am PARKING: They have a small lot but we managed to park on the street right in front, and it's free. Since it's Sunday, it's definitely busy. You line up first to order, then you sit. It's quite spacious inside with plenty of seating, so we managed to find a large on for our party of 6 (3 adults + 3 kids). Here's what we shared: BREWED COFFEE - $3.95 (16oz) So I asked for iced-coffee, and they literally served me hot coffee and added ice, which melted instantly as soon as it was passed on to me, haha. I guess I should have ordered an Americano, since on the menu it states that it's served hot or cold. My mistake. I just wish they suggested it. ICED COCONUT SPANISH LATTE - $6.65 (16oz) Categorized under the Summer Drink menu section, be sure to stir this up before drinking, otherwise you'll get a mouthful of sweet milk as your first sip, haha. Very creamy and rich, with subtle sweetness, all served with ice. BINGSOO - STRAWBERRY - $19 (large) Fresh Strawberry, Strawberry Ice-cream, Condensed Milk, with Mochi Topping. Made the mistake of choosing mochi instead of cheesecake for the topping because mochi mixed with ice only makes it hard and not gooey. but everything else about this cold treat was good. Great to share too! I appreciate that it was brought out on a tray since this can get really messy, haha. TIRAMISU ROLL CAKE - $9.25 CAD Not a fan. Not enough of that tiramisu essence. It's like ordering a mocha or coffee flavored cake. Should have gone with the Earl Grey. The cake part was dry. EARL GREY CROISSANT - $8.50 CAD A croissant with delicate layers coated with Earl Grey Chocolate, filled with Earl Grey infused cream filling. Kids didn't like it for more for the adults! That's when you know you really taste the earl grey, which we liked! And there's SO much filling! The croissant is quality and huge, so this pastry is definitely shareable. This cafe is so lovely, and I appreciate there being so much seating. There's a lot to pick from, whether it's a beverage, a pastry/dessert, or even brunch meals! We all enjoyed our time here. Thank you La Foret!
I came here as the first outlet on Jubilee was busy. This cafe near Royal Oak was tucked away at the end of the street with a dead end. Parking is limited with only 3 spots but you can probably find street parking. This place is much smaller with a few tables on the patio. It is more of a to-go place for your pastries and cakes. They also sell sandwiches and paninis which are pre-made in the boxes. Unfortunately they cannot heat up the sandwiches, only the paninis. The food was good. The quality was consistent with the main branch. The flat white I had was pretty decent. I did like the chicken cranberry sandwich which was on the sweet side. I also tried the matcha cloud croissant which was quite sweet too. It was huge and it would be good to share it. I had a hard time finishing it. The toasted whole hazelnuts added a delightful crunch to the soft pastry. This is a good place to just get pastries and cakes to go. Not really a place to meet friends and have a leisurely chat. The one on Jubilee would be a better location for that.
A small bakery with pretty looking pastries from sweet donuts, elegant cakes, rich ice cream and buttery croissants plus coffees and sandwiches. It's within walking distance from Royal Oak skytrain and has different decor than its first location. This 2nd location doesn't serve full breakfast items but it does carry 4inch cakes and ice cream! I visit here for ice cream, to pick up a Cobb salad or chicken sandwich, or to buy a coffee bun and some croissants. ...I choose to buy pastries here due to its chilled vibes with no crowds and line-ups... this place is def more of a to go shop, with limited seats. There are bar stools by the window and a small cute patio area outside. Altho there are no water views nor fancy high tea items, I enjoy its quiet location. It's a hidden gem spot to soothe my introvert needs for peaceful me time and indulge in ice cream.
La Forêt in Metrotown is a nice cafe. Great ambiance and decor. Pastries, coffee, food all solid. Their challenge is...service (isn't it always?! That's always the most difficult aspect...anyone can put up a few lights and decor). But service is tough. Specifically, wait/line management. Huge line. Two cashiers. All it takes is one customer with a big order - or trouble with mobile pay - to hold up the line. This is what happened when I was there, and it was mid-afternoon on a weekday. I urge them to take a page out of Breka's **fantastic** management and have one person run the orders down the line with an iPad so customers aren't stuck waiting. I also recommend pickup notification (those things that buzz when your food is ready). And/or QR ordering and table delivery (though that adds cost to a business' operations). My coffee order was ready quickly, but the barista didn't call it out, so it was just left idling unceremoniously next to the espresso machine, as I sat and wondered which one of the drinks was mine. I finally had to go up and ask. Simple fixes. Huge results. Learn from Breka. They l have mastered it - and it shows.
Back to my pastry reviews. La Foret might look unassuming from the front but it's one of the prettiest cafe I've been to in Vancouver. Serving Korean-inspired desserts (with aesthetic to match), this cafe is usually always full during the weekends. It's a counter service but the staffs were friendly and helpful in providing recommendations. My friend and I got blueberry and kinako (soybean) croissants. The pastries were definitely crunchier and airier versus traditional French croissants, but we felt that actually work well with the generous cream fillings. Also, La Foret managed to secure the ultimate stamp of approval from my friend: "Not too sweet". She did tell me not to buy the pre-made packaged almond croissant though, as it's apparently stale and did not taste fresh.
This is La Foret's branch just behind the Royal Oak Skytrain station. Much less busy and crowded than their main branch and they have ice cream too. Beautiful outdoor seating during the summer. I ordered a blueberry supreme croissant and a salted caramel donut for the hubby. I loved my croissant, it has lots of filling and layers were well done. Not too sweet yet still indulgent. Hubby said that the donut was a tad bit too sweet but we're just glad there's a solid pastry place near us. I also tried their blueberry cheesecake ice cream and I enjoyed it. The kid's scoop was just the right amount for me. They have a bit of parking available or park by the skytrain station.
If the main La Foret location is too packed, come to this one! The interior gives off cute Paris vibes and has an array of delicious pastries to go with standard cafe drinks made carefully by wonderful staff! The only thing I will add is that although this location is not as popular is the main one, that seating is quite limited so you are not guaranteed a spot!
Tucked away on a quiet side street, La Foret royal oak offers a secluded cafe for you. Quieter than the first location, this is certainly smaller but still had all the charms. Great patio if youre going in summer. Inside has a few seats, but could be crowded when folks want to stay in. Got a matcha latte and a jambon gruyere croissant that both tasted good! Staff had excellent customer service and made the whole experience better! read more
Smaller location, new bright and clean. Counter seating only which is a little tight. Wifey and I went to the counter and ordered. I was intrigued by the smash burger and I got a double. Wifey got a chicken panini. For drinks I got a latte and wifey got a snow velvet matcha. The smash burger was very tasty although technically smashed i didn't get the Maillard reaction and there was no crust. That being said the beef was well seasoned, bun soft and fluffy, cheese melty and delicious and pickle tart to cut through the fat. Very good burger! Didn't try wifeys panini so cannot elaborate on that. I did try the snow velvet matcha, tiramisu cream was delicious and the drink itself nice! My latte was pretty and solid. Service was standard, polite efficient and normal. read more

This is La Foret's second location. It is different from the first location. At the moment this is a to-go location. I was surprised to walk in to see a big open space. They have donuts, croissants, pastries, cookies and ice cream. They also have coffee and other drinks. We went on a Sunday and there was only one person working. It was surprisingly quiet compared to the first location. I got a croissant and B got a coffee bun. The croissant was nice, flaky and fluffy. For $3.75 can't complain. B really liked their coffee bun. It has butter coffee filling inside which is very different. The location is very convenient. It is walking distance beside the skytrain. I will definitely go back for other treats. read more

The croissants are amazing, very clean and nice shop, really love their pastry as it's not overwhelmingly sweet. read more
This place is a sanctuary in a busy metropolis city. The baked goods upon entry is so enticing. The bulgogi brunch is so good I could eat it everyday. There are plenty of tables even on a busy day. Nice and serene oasis. It's also my go to place to order bday cakes! The red velvet and Oreo cakes are so special and so easy to order online. read more
I've been on a mission to try out more cafes with a new baby at home and today's destination was La Foret in the Royal Oak in Burnaby. Easiest way to get here would be on transit from the Royal Oak skytrain station and there is even a little ramp area if you have a stroller to navigate the curbs and bumps. I got a strawberry cake slice and a cream pastry to go and have to say that both were delicious! They also have a points program that will give you a free birthday treat so also signed up for that while I was there. They have a small space outdoors with some seating which makes it a cozy shady place to hang out in particular during the summer. Will definitely be back with my little one! read more
Was originally confused, when I saw this location as they have another one about 5 minutes away. One day I came to check it out. Tried a couple of donuts. It was awesome!! Salted caramel and vanilla walnut. Limited seating compared to their other location. But still super cute. I'm glad they added this location. Came back several weeks to try another pastry, one of my fave pastry is almond croissant, saw several option but thought just stick to what you like, it was a bit of a let down, it was hard and borden line burnt. I took several bites and got ride of it. Overall, I was impressed enough with my initial visit getting the donuts that I'll be back again. read more

Came by to this location because the other La Foret spot is always crazy busy. For the lavender latte that unfortunately tastes more like sweet milk than lavender but the salted Nutella latte was super tasty! Plus the patio seating was a nice addition to the sunny day read more
Today, I wanted to eat a croissant, so I went to a place that sells croissants... You know the rest I was so impressed by the quality of the pastries - they have creme filled soft donuts, supreme croissants, cookies, regular croissants, and more. There were unique but approachable flavors including injeolmi, a subtly nutty Korean staple. They also serve some to-go savory foods and have an espresso menu. It's such a surprising, eye-catching cafe in a somewhat nondescript area. I loved the aesthetic inside and out, as well as seeing the uniformed pastry chefs working from a distance in the back kitchen. Everything is so beautifully crafted and well thought out! Will be back to try more flavors next time I'm in the area. read more
La Forêt Cafe's second location has just opened, and it's not a duplicate of the original one. This new spot is like a bakery shop and offers a range of special items, including heavenly donuts, mouth-watering Kouign Amann, and delicious take-out sandwiches and salads. We've tasted four different flavours of their amazing donuts. Injeolmi/Injulmi Cream is a Korean-inspired donut filled with sweet bean paste. Strawberry Yogurt is a fruity and refreshing option, while Pecan Vanilla is a nutty and aromatic choice. And for all chocolate lovers out there, they have the classic chocolate flavour. So discover your new favourite flavour by indulging in these delicious treats at La Foret's Royal Oak location. Another must-try item is the Crispy Tofu Cobb Salad, a healthy and delicious dish. The salad is made with fresh veggies like grape tomatoes, broccoli sprouts, lettuce, purple cabbage, corn, and crispy and flavorful tofu, a great vegetarian option that's full of nutrients. La Forêt's Royal Oak location is at 6958 Palm Avenue in Burnaby, a short walk from the Royal Oak Station. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Takeout Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: [#mediatasting new pastries and food] Presentation: 3/5 Parking: 1/5 They have limited parking spots but there are lots of street parking in the residential area. Tips: * can order a special cake in the size of 4" at their Royal Oak location. * accept online orders at the Royal Oak location. * can earn points and rewards by joining the La Forêt's membership program. Would I Return: Yes read more

I dropped by on Thanksgiving and was pleased that parking was slightly more accessible compared to their other location. The shop is grab n' go but they did have some patio seating. The seating inside was awkward because the chairs were too short for the table/bar ledge. Other than that, the shop was aesthetically pleasing. They had an assortment of pastries and ice cream. I came specifically to try one of their brioche donuts. I loved it, it was chewy and with ample filling. I was definitely tempted to grab a few (note: 10% off if you grab 6 or more pastries). I also got an americano which was pretty watered down. I'll likely pass on the coffee next time, but ill definitely be coming back to try more of their pastries. read more
La Forets second location in Royal Oak serve some menus that are not on their first location. They have donuts, rice bowls, sandwiches, pastries and more. I got four flavours of their donuts (black sesame, vanilla, strawberry yogurt and injeolmi) all were creamy, flavourful and lots of filling. Beautiful pinking ambiance, friendly staffs and I follow them on instagram they mostly update and post new or available foods they have. We though its hard to find a parking lot so we took the skytrain which is just 5 mins walk from the station but actually theirs plenty of space to park. It's a grab-and-go and they don't serve drinks at the moment but they said they will open dine-ins soon. read more

Located in a very unassuming area of Royal Oak is La Foret's second location where it serves different items from their first location. Upon entering, I noticed that it was a grab and go place and that there's no actual seating. At this location, they serve brioche style donuts and pastries like croissants and kouign amanns to name a few and also sandwiches and hot items like rice bowls and crispy ham and cheese sandwiches. We got their strawberry yogurt and salted caramel donut and vanilla kouign amann. We thought the donuts were more on the dense and bready side in comparison to Mello and they had limited flavours. We also got their crispy ham and cheese and it was too much imo. It was heavily covered in panko which made it so messy to eat and made the sandwich very "heavy". The inside filling is also on the sweeter side ( I think they used some sort of sweet mayo/jam filling). Overall, I think the concept is nice but I prefer their first location better. read more

Oh wow, I absolutely loved the pastries from here! They're so unique and delicious! I finally got a chance to try their version of a supreme croissant (which they call a Kouign Amann here) and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I got their Pecan Vanilla Kouign Amann, which was my favorite of all the items I tried. The vanilla filling was so good and the croissant shell was crispy and wonderfully textured. I would get this again in a heartbeat and now want to try the other flavors. I also got the Injeolmi Cream Donut, which had a yummy and unique injeolmi flavor (like a sweet, toasted bean flavor) and was generously filled. Finally, I tried the Croissant Maple Yakgwa, which was flaky, sweet (but not overly so), and delicious. As a Korean, I especially liked these latter two items as they brought a unique spin to flavors I grew up with. I loved how they do not skimp on their fillings (the Kouign Amann and donut were abundantly filled) and the creativity of their flavors. This location is a takeout location (although there are a few tables outside), but it's definitely less crowded than the main location with lots of available street parking. I also recommend ordering online if you want to ensure getting the item you want as I heard they sell out of their popular items as the day goes on. Great service, incredible pastries, creative flavors - I will definitely be back! read more
