Amazing pastries! The location is great and the staff are all lovely. �
Best lookin’ cake, eh? Interesting flavours, good new location, it was so difficult to decide which one of the cakes I should get! Ended up with this Mango & Matcha cakes. I swear, I could’ve gotten more flavours.
Super cute bakery in the more residential side of steveston! Really love their cake and drinks! It got pretty busy but service is fast to beat the line! I love that you can walk by the water just near by and it's not flooded with tourists like in central steveston.
Only big downside is the only cold coffee/tea drink they serve is iced Americano!

Well today is my brothers birthday! His girlfriend brought over to our home a birthday cake. I've never heard of the diplomat and it's located in Richmond. After our sad attempt to sing a happy birthday song we sliced into the cake... And dude, it's a cheese cake INSIDE A CAKE. That's right you heard me. I was really quite impressed and above all, it tasted like a asian cake, meaning it wasn't that sweet. What a joy and surprise the elements this cake has. I will definitely go on my day off to check out the diplomat because I was also told they had a white chocolate bailey's cake!
Oh and I was also told that they sell individual cakes too! That's awsome for people who are not sure what to get or just want to have a slice to themselves. Great option.
Update: I went there in person for the first time. Chef Stenson had mention they are moving across the street in may of this year. I told him his cake was amazing. A master of his own art indeed. He was kind enough to offer me a slice of cake and Americano on the house. I asked the kind lady who served me what her favorite is and she mentioned the white chocolate and man oh man I'm so happy she recommended it. It's light and not too sweet! Ever close your eyes when you like something your eating? LOL
The Americano just lovely... Had a nice froth...
Nothing but hand claps, seriously... Wow!
Two thumbs up, I'm bumping my 4.5 rating up to a full 5!
Great bakery with a variety to select from. On this visit, my wife and I shared a Lemon Chocolate New York Cheesecake and an Almond Croissant. The cheesecake was smooth and tart, showcasing great technique in seamlessly melding the crust and cake layer. Unlike many of its counterparts, this almond croissant featured a decadent almond cream which provided a much needed texture and flavour contrast. The service was friendly and informative. We're returning to this memorable establishment for sure!
A nice little spot close to or in the town of Steveston. It is tucked in a new building so keep an eye out. A good inexpensive thing to try to see how fresh bakeries treats are is a Nanaimo bar- many will taste slightly stale and that to me is a telltale of what's to come. Diplomats was FRESH and tasty. I will be back
The cakes are delicious! My favourites are definitely the triple chocolate mousse cake and cappuccino cake. Next time you're in steveston, stop by and give it a go! You won't regret it.
Best Red Velvet Cake in Town. Have tried Red Velvet cake from a few different restaurant/bakeries around the Lower Mainland and The Diplomat has the best one by far. The cake is moist and has just the right balance of chocolate flavour with the tanginess of the cream cheese frosting.
I love their European cheesecake, Red velvet cake and the Mango mousse cake! Their cake is not too sweet and the European cheesecake is not too heavy. Always visit this place when I go to Steveston.
Best Blueberry Cheesecake!
Best cakes i have ever had. Cannot find even one bakery that is at the same level.

Jewel of Steveston. Not quite in Steveston anymore but still a jewel!. Diplomat Bakery has been a local treasure for as long as I can remember. This bakery used to be on the corner of Moncton and No. 1 road, right at the Steveston Village. It has since moved to London Road, just off No. 2 road by the very end and close to the dyke area, by Bayview.
Their new location is much bigger than the last one but still is one of the best bakeries in town. I've had many of their cakes and I always request for Diplomat Bakery cakes whenever we're holding events. My absolute favorite is the Diplomat cake, which is layers and layers of puff pastry and butter cream. The puff pastry is light, flaky and crispy while the butter cream is delicious and rich but not very heavy at all. This is quite similar to something else that they have which they call a Napoleon Slice. Some of my other favorites include the European Cheesecake, Strawberry topped N.Y. Cheesecake and the Blueberry Cream Cheesecake. (I love cheesecake)
I also love their Pear flan, which unfortunately has gone up in price. A very simple pie with pears and glaze, it is so tasty. I always have huge portions whenever I get this.
I can't eat chocolate (unfortunately) but I was told their Triple Chocolate Cake is to die for. Other chocolate treats that I can't have but have heard great things about: Chocolate croissant and the hot chocolate.
As far as their selection for savory eats, the Calypso wrap and the Sausage rolls are my favorite. The Calypso wrap includes rice, chicken, kidney beans, vegetables and lentils in it. There is a hint of spice but it's not overwhelming at all. I love the pastry they use for the sausage rolls, it makes it very filling.
Other favorites include the almond butter croissant, the cinnobun, the raspberry coconut cake and the strawberry smoothie.
Because I was feeling adventurous today, I had the carrot cake and the vanilla cupcake. The carrot cake is moist and isn't too sweet (perfect if you like moderate sweetness, not sweet enough for me) which is the same with the icing. The pistachios add a nice touch. The vanilla cupcake is also moist but not sweet, which is great if you like moderate sweetness. I like my desserts a bit sweeter than these.
Overall a very good place. The washrooms are huge and clean and there is parking right inside the lot. Street parking is also available. The area is also very pleasant; you can walk around after you sit and enjoy your Diplomat treats to burn off the calories.
Would I come back? Every time I'm in the area.
Small little shop near steveston village. The pastries and cakes are above average. Price is moderate.
Excellent! I really love the cake there...But I've only tried their cakes. I really like the blueberry cream cheesecake, totally recommend it! I also recommend the hazelnut cake, the mango cream cheesecake, and the espresso cake. The espresso cake is more on the flavorful side compared to the hazelnut cake. The mango cream cheesecake and blueberry cream cheesecake are perfect for those who don't like super chocolate-y cake.

I ended up with a slice of one of my favourites: the Red Velvet Cake . I love the creamy smooth cheese filling on the red chocolate sponge cake! Delcious! Must go back to try those other cakes!

The first time I tried Diplomat Bakery, was when my brother brought home some of their Blueberry Cheesecake a few years ago, and I thought it was delicious. One of the best cakes I ever had at the time. I really wanted to go back, but never made the time out to go to Steveston. After high tea at Adorabelle, we made our way over to Diplomat since we were kind of close by. It’s a really popular place for cyclists to have a snack. They have a huge selection of cakes, and pastries. They also serve hot soup and sandwiches too. You can order full cakes, or cakes by the slice. If you order 6, you can get another two slices free. I ordered the a couple Blueberry Cream Cheesecakes, a couple Red Velvet, Mango Cream Cheesecake, Cappuccino Cake, Ganache Cake, Hazelnut Cake, and a Gluten-Free Cake. Unfortunately, we were only able to try a couple before they went bad. I shouldn’t have bought so many that day since I went on a trip a few days after. Of course I had to try the Bluberry Crea
We ordered special "mermaid" cupcakes for our daughters mermaid-themed birthday party, they were a huge hit! I asked for two-toned buttercream swirls on top and special sprinkles, and half of them made with chocolate cake and half vanilla cake. They turned out gorgeous and to me had the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet which I like). It was hard to find a bakery in Richmond that did custom cupcakes like this so I'll definitely be back for other special occasions!
On the sweeter side, but still good! It reminds me of Trafiq in Vancouver. The triple chocolate mouse cake was my favorite over the red velvet cake. Each slice was $5.50, buy 5 slices and get 6th free. My daughter wanted the chocolate cupcake but I’ll definitely skip that next time, it was a bit dry.
My boyfriend bought me cakes for my birthday and I have to say, out of these different flavor my favorite is torn between tiramisu and triple chocolate. The tiramisu has just enough coffee flavor and the cream is light. The triple chocolate mousse is so smooth and flavor. Not too strong and not too sweet. It’s perfect. Highly recommend this shop!
Found this small bakery 🧁 shop in Stevenson area. OMG the owner have been served a cake to the royal family 👸👑. I have try the chocolate cup 🧁 , doughnut 🍩,and cake 🍰. They are so delicious 🤤 🎉😋
Cakes, doughnuts and pastries. They got em' all. Top fancy pants dessert spot in Richmond. Treat yourself.
Very nice store front. No dining in at the moment and limit 6 customer inside. Lots of choices of different cake/donuts/Danish/muffins to choose from. They also have gluten free options. My favourite there is their mango cheese cake, and it never disappoint!! I'd love to try other cakes I just don't have the stomach space for it!!
