Saw this establishment while driving down Union Turnpike and decided to stop for a visit. It is located at the corner of Union and 255th Street, across from the library. It is quaint inside and beautifully decorated. There are a few tables to sit and eat. There were several customers inside when we walked in, but the staff made sure to greet us and asked if we had questions about the food options. Very kind owners and employees.
There are many options to choose from. They happen to be mainly vegan, with gluten-free and vegetarian options. Speaking with Kavita, one of the owners, and learned they consider themselves an international bakery, and this is their second location; their first is located in Richmond Hill and are known for mainly doing cakes there. They have coffee from Italy and a variety of teas as well. Their food options vary and include vegetarian sandwiches, vegan Jamaican patties, cookies, pastries, croissants, muffins, cakes, bonbons, breads, brownies, etc. They make their foods in small batches, so they don't end up having to throw unpurchased food out at the end of the night. Everything is made fresh on site. Prices are very reasonable for this kind of quality and healthy food. They packed our goodies nicely and provided cute rose gold colored utensils and napkins.
We decided to try the Jamaican patty, vanilla Mango cake, carrot cake, chocolate walnut bonbon, and rum gingerbread bundt cake with coffee cream. Everything was absolutely delicious and not too sweet, which is right up my alley. The vanilla mango cake reminded me of a mango Lassi. You taste the mango, and the density of the cake was perfect. The carrot cake was another hit, the spices were great, and you got the hint of carrot. The bonbon was covered in a ganache and had a walnut on top, great chocolate cake. Our savory choice, the Jamaican style patty, was awesome! It was spicy, had veggies inside with vegan meat, and the patty itself was flaky and delicious. They offer to toast it for you, which we did. The rum gingerbread cake was moist, had a hit of coffee flavor along with ginger and spices.
I am so happy I decided to make a U-turn and visit this place. I plan to return and try other options. I won't be surprised if I update this review and...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Rose Valley Cakes , and I must say, it's a true gem for vegans and non-vegans alike! As someone who follows a strict vegan diet, I'm always on the lookout for delicious plant-based treats, and this bakery exceeded all my expectations.

Each item is crafted with care, using high-quality ingredients that shine through in every bite.

Read moreDo not order cakes from them* We order a cake for our Baby shower, gave specific details as what we had envisioned. Kavita said it would be $425 for a two tier cake, we agreed and paid half the deposit. I went a day before and paid the balance in full and request that the cake be ready in time as we had to pick up before going to the venue. Kavita was very sweet but at the pick up time she was shocked to see us and she said the cake wasn't ready. In 15 mins she walks out with a cake put together last minute so decor as discussed. I was extremely disappointed.
As further disappointed, the bottom layer was not the filling we finalized. Kavita offered barely any refund for the cake and requested that I come to the store to discuss this further. I'm 8 months pregnant and I told her please zelle me the refund. They have now stopped answering my emails or calls. I paid $425 for the cake that wasn't even close to what I ordered!!
Beware they are frauds, they will be super nice but they don't...
