Blacksmith Bakery is an artisan bakeshop café founded by Stephan Schigas and Bernice Farah in 2014.
Our flagship Café is built on the original site of Reid’s Blacksmith Shop, circa 1910 in Fort Langley BC. Today we have 4 Blacksmith Bakery locations in the Lower Mainland. Our second location, an express café, was opened at the Langley YNJ airport terminal building in the summer of 2020. In September 2022 we launched our third location, an express counter at our production facility in Maple Ridge. One month later we opened our fourth location, a bakeshop café bistro with licensed patio at Latimer Heights in Langley.
At Blacksmith we create real food using traditional artisanal methods, baked fresh daily on-site, in kitchens staffed by trained pastry professionals. Our hand forged viennoiserie, patisserie, cakes, eclairs, tarts, cookies, savories, thin-crust pizzas, gourmet bistro fare and casual comfort food draw customers from all over the Metro Vancouver region every day. At Blacksmith it’s not just about the food. We are very serious about coffee! Our baristas provide delicious, well-crafted coffee drinks created with our own Anvil espresso blend, roasted locally in East Vancouver by Agro Coffee Roasters.
