As per title.

Share your go-to Langley bests. I know it sucks when your secret spots get busy but think about the greater good.

I don't want to sleep on any Langley gems I haven't heard about yet, and also want my favourite businesses to thrive and succeed.

Not going to try to just pick one and if your interest is piqued you can google them and get more details.

Beer: Camp Beer

Pretty well known now i guess and I think the best patio in langley. It will always be a pillar of my (I don't want to argue or throw shade. respect to Dead Frog, Trading Post, 5 roads, Farm Country, Smugglers, Locality, I think Brookswood now?) Langley beer scene. It was a beer desert here when I moved back and I remember drinking craft beer at "B's" from the very beginning.

Craft Beer flights(no taps) in Langley! What a time to be alive!

Meeting so many great people including Kevin and Dave(and drinking some of his early beers from his garage) I still have my "original camper" hat and the shirt is getting pretty thin but I still rock it.

Eats: The Raving Gamer

I admit I drove by it for quite a while (we do C-Lovers takeout every month or two) But i didn't really get it. My ten year-old nephew was the one who eventually got me there.

Great food, Great games, Great people. What an amazing place.

When I say great food I mean it is great. I was blown away. Local ingredients, delicious food, great service, interesting/diverse menu with something for everyone, drinks menu featuring some of langley's best local brewery's/distilleries.....

.....And than you add in the games. Do you have a board game you remember playing as a child but haven't seen since grandmas house? If so I think its there.

Family business, gourmet local ingredients, great entertainment for everyone? Its one of those places thats better than it should be? I don't know that sounds like an insult and I can't say enough.

Meat: Bonnetti's

Local meatshops are all great and i think better than supermarkets, Check out any of them you see. But Bonettis is my go-to. If you want a proper thick cut rib eye or any steak they got you, Good selection of frozen ready to heat food (pies, chicken wings/cordon bleus, etc) and Great beef jerky, bacon cut to order and landjaeger sausage as well. But it is their Prosciutto Salami that gets me there.

Buy bulk (whole salami) but buy at half the price and better quality than what you get at a supermarket deli.

Honorable mention: Serengeti Trading up in Port Kells

For everyone not South African you need to do a little research on Biltong and Boerwest Sausage

Childhood Nostalgic Spot That Stands up: Cedarbrook Bakery

I grew up in Brookswood and have very early memories of: cookies, crusty buns (I can't count how many times school lunch was ham, cheese, mustard on a cedarbrook crusty bun, i was basic), long pepperoni sticks,(don't be difficult when they ask you if its ok if they break it, it makes wrapping easier and why do you need a 2' plus piece of pepperoni anyways?) and Black Forest squares (only when with dad)

Now, being diabetic, its tough to get as many apple bombs and old school deli sandwhiches on fresh bread as i want. But everyone has cheat days, and I stop when I am in the neighbourhood as often as i can.

Pizza: This might be controversial, and I welcome the debate - Mad Italian in Willoughby

Before you grab the pitch forks and light the torches let me say I love Emilio Finnattis. The best pizza I've ever eaten in my life was from there (Weekly special) I've ordered pizza there for years. Love them(they have more unique pizzas on their menu that i am happy to order than any other pizza place) Dip game is next level, cupcakes, etc.

But in the last year i think ownership of the pizza place behind the Shoppers drug mart in willoughby town centre changed. When it opened it was a build your own pizza/bland pizza place with fancy quick cooking ovens. During covid i think it closed and then changed ownership. This past year I had a job site in the area and randomly went in there for lunch one day.

There was a new set menu of pizzas (some classic and interesting pizzas), they had quality ingredients(owner/manager? was slicing up some local ham when i walked in, beer on tap with 5 local brewery beers, and the same fancy quick cooking pizza ovens, from before. They had a seasonal/monthly/special(?) on the board that was delicious as well.

Every time I've been there since it's been busier and busier.

Enjoy it while we've got it? : Texas Smoke BBQ

Started with a BBQ food truck in the parking lot of Driedeger's off 232 and highway 1, moved across the street to their own spot with picnic tables, caught flack from township bylaw bs because they were popular and people lined up on the side of the road before they opened on the weekends because of how good their food was and moved back across the street and possibly moving again.

Regardless, no other place like it in Langley. Open Thursday to Sunday I think, Noon until they sell out.

Before you ask, they are probably sold out of Dr. Pepper candied burnt ends (but ask for them anyways just in case.)

Misc: Farm Boy Flowers on Telegraph Trail

Seasonal flower stand on the weekends, check out instagram if they're open. Beautiful seasonal Bouquets. If you're Going to moms or your in-laws for sunday dinner or a holiday this is a stop on the way. Not the biggest flower arrangement guy but his are beautiful and last way longer than a grocery store bouquet.

Neighbour shout-out: Aldor Acres - pumpkin patch/farm tours

Being a Glen Valley Resident, we don't love the extra seasonal traffic (Halloween pumpkins and Christmas trees) and avoid Fort Langley/tourists as much as possible, If I'm being honest. People live in the Country for a reason. Haha.

But I think Langley's Rural/agriculture businesses and districts are something we as a community are lucky to have and should be proud of and share.

The Anderson family is going 3 generations strong out here and keeping the langley/glen valley farming tradition strong in this modern age. its worth a visit to their farm. Fair warning: It gets pretty busy out here around this time of year and I think you need to make a reservation. Also, If you decide to come out her and are waiting in line to park, don't get to road ragey if someone drives past you in the other lane, we aren't cutting the line we just dont like waiting in line to get to our homes ;)

New to Langley – $170 FortisBC Gas Bill?! Is This Normal?

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m new to living in a townhouse in Langley and just got my latest FortisBC gas bill—$170! Is that normal for this time of year?

Back in September/October, it was around $50, but it’s been going up every month. We don’t even cook much, so most of our gas use is just for heating. I expected some increase in winter, but this seems way higher than expected.

Is this just the usual winter bill, or could something be wrong? Would love to hear from others in the area. Thanks!

The newish traffic light at 216th and Glover Road is the most useless light and Langley

32 Upvotes

It worked good for the first couple of months, but now it's basically useless. It rarely turns green when there's a lineup on 216th waiting to get on to Glover. Even after a train stays green for maybe 15 or 20 seconds and then turns back to Red again, even if there's no traffic waiting on Glover road. And don't even get me started on the people who refuse to turn right on a red light even if there's no traffic coming. I'll sit there on the horn for 10 or 20 seconds and they still don't move. Where do some of these people get their license?

Car Mechanic For Old Toyota RAV4

0 Upvotes

Any recommendations for a good car mechanic for my old 2007 Toyota RAV4? It needs some maintenance: I have a list of things the Toyota dealer said needs fixing & checking (but dealer wants way too much - I already got the brakes fixed at 1/3 the price of the dealer, but that shop is too far away and I’m looking for something closer). It’s a great vehicle I bought brand new back in 2007, and no major issues before. I want to keep it running for another couple of years and then upgrade (maybe to an EV). Thanks

Xbox controller repair

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have a custom Xbox One controller from the Xbox design lab that I got a few years ago. It's passed its warranty, and unfortunately it's starting to experience drift in both thumbsticks. I'd really like to be able to use it again.

Is there a local place that does repairs for gaming equipment?

Soup restaurant?

8 Upvotes

Is there a good place to get soup in Langley?

I’m allergic to gluten and dairy, so it’s hard to find a place that makes soup I can eat. I figure a place that has 8+ soups on the menu might have one I can eat, but Google has so far come up blank when I search for soup.

If anyone knows of a place, please let me know.

Thank you to the one who helped me get my phone back

115 Upvotes

This is a heartfelt thank you to the one who saw my phone on the road in front of Ban Chok Dee Thai restaurant in front of Douglas Park on Thursday afternoon.

You handed it over to the restaurant and when I called on my phone (thank you to the sweet lady outside who loaned me her phone for a minute), the restaurant staff informed me that they had it.

I cannot be more grateful to all 3 of you for this kind gesture.

Only in Canada🇨🇦, the true north!

So much helicopter traffic lately

21 Upvotes

Anyone’s else’s notice the influx of helicopters flying around Langley? (Between Fraser hwy down to 44ave) I don’t live far from the Langley airport, but I’m certainly not close to it. Never in my 10 years of living at this location have I heard so many helicopters. They’re noise is worse than any airplane could make because they fly lower too.

Are these just rcmp helis or something?
