"Ordered the raspberry slab cake for our vow renewal and it was delicious! They need a week notice and cash only. They didn't disappoint. Cake wasn't too sweet."

"Best Cake shop in Kitchener. Nothing beats the quality of this family run business. Had the chocolate raspberry for my 65th birthday last night. 10/10. Give it a try, you will be back over and over again. Thank you so much for everything Jeff"

"Wonderful little cafe specializing in German/Austrian treats. I had a slice of black forest cake, a cherry danish and a nougat ring. The cake had real kirsch flavour and delicious cream and made me very happy. The nougat ring was something i had never seen before and it was delightful. Dark chocolate covered a crunchy base of fresh short crust with a nougat and chopped nuts between. Really good. The cherry danish was better than the typical store bought but the pastry was a bit heavy. An elderly couple was running the store and were very sweet. The store is very small and is cash only so be prepared."

"hands down the best cake shop and bakery you can find in KW! If you’re looking for simple and nostalgic tasting cakes crafted with love and quality ingredients (just like what granny used to make) then Alpine is your shop!"

"Their cakes taste very good! They are not too sweet, and pair well with coffee (they have only 100% Colombian). The environment is fine, though not with the most flattering lighting; space is limited, but during the day it seems quiet. A great hidden gem!"
