Tops Chef Bakery & Café — Restaurant in Coquitlam

Did you know there's a place you can buy a fresh artisan-ish cookie for a dollar? (Listed as 95 cents) That's crazy! The truest 5 stars I've ever given. I had no idea this was here. I was going to Starbucks but I stopped when I saw this place behind it. The lemon tart caught my eye the first time I went(I'm a sucker for lemon anything) And then today I wanted to try something different. I got a Napoleon and a cream puff for $8.30... wow! These are not small either, and they're labor intensive so the price alone blew my mind in the best way possible... Plus they were amazing, perfectly balanced sweetness, beautiful texture. The lady was so kind, I enjoyed talking to her :) Her card machine was broken but she offered an alternative because I didn't have cash. Best service ever, love the treats. Next time I think I'll sit down and stay a while🩷 10/10 can't recommend this...

Horrible experience. The lady’s behaviour was so cold and rude towards me and my colleagues. As we entered and saw her, she did not acknowledge us at all. When we decided to take Napoleon cake, she rudely asked just that as if she was expecting us to take 10 of them? It’s a Persian cafe and she seemed Persian as well. Was she intentionally racist towards us? May be. I don’t see any other reason to be rude in a vacant cafe.

Cafe has 4.8 rating apparently. Wondering how?? As you can see in the video and picture, cake was so chewy that we couldn’t even cut a slice off it. Plus so many other customers have shared bad experiences...

It seems some people are trying to tarnish the reputation of this successful business, attempting to discredit it by mentioning its nationality or portraying it as irresponsible. Personally, I was at the café on Saturday from 1:30 PM to 4 PM, enjoying great conversation with my friend, and during this time, the saleswoman, who is also the owner and the one making the sweets, warmly welcomed other customers. How could you say the café was closed when my friend and I were sitting inside, enjoying the atmosphere and the conversation? Instead of trying to bring others down, focus on...
