Reviews of Hawaii Bakery & Tea House (Bakery)

DR. ALVIN TUNG

My favourite place in Mississauga for Hong Kong style Western breakfast. Technically, It's an all-day breakfast place that serves some other snacks such as noodles throughout the day. Staff is super friendly and you always feel welcomed the moment you step in. Their specialty of course is their signature pineapple bun. Their Hong Kong style coffee and tea goes great with it! Another favourite is their French toast.

Someone told me these guys have the best pineapple buns in the city. Thing is, it seems a bit of a challenge to score one; I've come to empty shelves more often than coming out with one of these classic HK-style buns. Is it that much better than its competition? Well, truth be told: not really. Maybe that's just me not being much of a HK-style pineapple bun connoisseur... and yet, I do sometimes have the urge to just turn into the plaza and grab a bun on the go. -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

(Translated) I didn't want to give a star, but it was not allowed. I finished the meal at 12 o'clock. I only eat rice now. People do more slowly. I understand. Boss, can you explain why I have finished eating more than my later people? Has my meal not come yet? I asked the second time to eat slowly? (Original) 我本来一颗星都不想给，但是不允许。 我12点半点完餐 我现在才吃上饭，人多 做的慢我理解 那老板你能不能解释一下 为什么比我后来的人 都快吃完了 我的餐还没来么？ 我问了第二次 吃的才慢慢悠悠得来？

A small , causal Hong Kong style tea cafe serving lunch , dinner and afternoon snack. Luch special come with main dishes, a small cup of vegetable soups and hot hong kong style milk tea. Staff are friendly. The food are ok if you just come for quick fix of meal, sometime good sometime just average. Price are reasonable though. Decoration are very plain, nothing fancy.

It's alright. Nothing to rave about...

Hawaii bakery is ine of the favorite place I visit most of the time for a quick, cheap bite. The taste is ok. The only thing you will mind for first timer is that you need to know what you ordering because t8me is essence. You will reall feel the rush for order. However, they do deliver food fast, the bakery taste not bad, and the best is their milk tea. Other things can also be improve like air conditioning( a little warm to sit in), etc. Overall,it is an ok place for quick and easy bite.

Why this restaurant deserves FIVE stars? For service, food quality, and cost of the meal and such are far worst than PaPa John. To be honest, who ever put five stars to this restaurant, please come out and tell us which thing deserve five stars in this restaurant. Otherwise, five stars are self advertising.

Food is good as always!

Rosana Lo

This is a small fast food cafe, selections are somewhat limited, but the pricing is good and it is tasty

Y Z

One of my favorite restaurant. Affordable price, large size, YUMMY!

Connie Jia

Amazing pineapple buns.

J J

(Translated) Although I especially love their pineapple oil, the service attitude is very different. They only have a good service attitude towards Cantonese speakers. They are very fierce to us who ca n’t speak Cantonese, nor do they ignore it. pay attention (Original) 虽然我特别的爱他们家的菠萝油，但是服务态度天差地别，他们只对说广东话的人服务态度还不错，对我们这种不会说广东话的都很凶，也不理不睬

The food itself isn’t that bad. The quality of service is reflective of its pricing. The buns are good for go grabbers.

DrS

(Translated) The pineapple bun is awesome! (Original) 菠萝包超赞！

VvV AnovKi

(Translated) I bought pineapple buns and wanted to sit for a while on a rainy day. The shop said that pineapple buns are takeaways. Can’t sit in the shop and then said, can I order something to eat... The shop said yes, but I wanted to throw away the water I bought and I was very aggressive. ???? A little unhappy ☹️ but things are still delicious (Original) 買了菠蘿包 下雨天 想坐一會躲躲雨 店家說菠蘿包是外賣不能坐在店裡 然後就說那我點東西吃可以嗎⋯ 店家說可以 但要我買的水扔掉 而且態度很衝 ????有點不開心☹️ 但東西還是很好吃的 欸

My favourite hk style cafe in Mississauga. Best hot milk tea in the area. Love the deep fried chicken curry and rice. Big portions for cheap. Been going here for years.

Melanie Wong

Food is not the greatest and the bowls smell like bleach. Service is POOR as the waitresses are very rude. Expects you to leave right away after you’re done - by right away I mean you should really ask for the bill once you have your last bite. Papa john bakery on Bristol offers a LOT tastier food and buns and their service is way better.

Oqab Mohamed

Awful service I walked in asked for tea - the lady charged me Tea was given to me then asked me to pay more if I want to set down or leave. The place was empty.

Zheng Xu

Good

Veronica Chiu

Very traditional Hong Kong style breakfast, large portions, very friendly staff, REALLY good food, great prices, highly recommend for a quick, filling meal for a good price!

Hazard Lee

This Hong Kong style restaurant services traditional Hong Kong food, breakfast and lunch.

jacque oneal

Was told by my friend this is an Authentic HK style cafe. Price is unbeatable.

Ken Au Yeung

The food is very small in portion and the food has lots of msg

Jen

The boss lady and waitress have very poor service and are unfriendly. I usually order the rice noodle with pork and pickled vegetables with toast on the side. The portions for the noodles are extremely small and they make it look like a lot because the noodles are all plump because they've been cooked for so long. The toast is also very thin and always slightly burnt. I've been here a few times because there aren't many places like this is Mississauga but now that the Papa John's cafe has opened I no longer come to this restaurant.

food is cheap but。service just soso

Jamie Laike

The service is famed for being a bit prickly at times, but the milk tea and pineapple buns are the best you can get in the city by far. The regular food menu is solid HK cafe food for a very reasonable price.

Jon Tan

Came here a few times for breakfast, and it's now become my new favorite place. 菠蘿包 (Pineapple buns) usually don't come with filling, but if you're having breakfast there, you can order it as 菠蘿油 (Pineapple bun with a slab of butter in the middle). Their breakfast menu has a nice variety of food with a few hong kong favorites.: 公仔面 (Instant noodles) with a choice of luncheon meat, or sausage Steak and Eggs - the steak is not very thick, but still delicious nonetheless. Various sandwiches and toast. I will usually get the instant noodles, and substitute the toast for a pineapple bun with butter. I really like the milk tea there, so it's always a must have for every breakfast. Prices are very reasonable, and the crowd is usually mandarin/cantonese speakers. Eating at a chinese cafe may be a different experience than cora's, but I wouldn't change it one bit.

(Translated) cheap and delicious (Original) 便宜好吃

It's a place for quick meal with very reasonable price. Mainly serving whole day B'fast, like eggs, sausages, bacon and some quick simple easy Lunch meals like noodles as well as some with rice or spaghetti. Customer are mostly Chinese from either Hong Kong, or China. Quite busy during lunch hours and the meals are also expected to be relevant to price wise and service reflecting to the star given here.

Best pineapple bun ever

Brian Fong

A good business is based on people, process, and product. I have visited this place 4 times and I am only interested in the bakery portion of their business, so this is my take. PRODUCT (baked goods) Their pineapple buns have some weight, a dynamically sweet topping, and a soft semi-sweet bread. PROCESS (needs improvement) The way they display their product, specifically their bakery products is abysmal near 3-4 pm. There aren't any bakery products to display and you have to ask for them in the back. It makes you think they have sold out. In addition, to reserve baked goods (2 dozen buns) you need to place an order with cash in person (no credit cards are accepted over phone) one day in advance. It is inconvenient to say the least. PEOPLE (rude, allow me to explain) I walk in at 5 pm on Saturday (Oct 11, 2014) and ask for pineapple buns with pineapple filling, they reply that they have none and I quietly leave while thanking them. I walk in Sunday the next day at 4:30 pm and politely ask for pineapple buns with filling. They say they have none, I ask if they ever made them, they say they never have, I am disappointed but unfazed since their buns are so good. Then before I can order a regular bun without filling, the Asian lady tells me slightly annoyed, "If you want the filling you can put it in yourself". I was gob-smacked at this response. People pay you to have a product a certain way, I don't tell people if you want cream in the donut, "you can put it in yourself". That step is done in the kitchen by the staff, not suggested to the customer who is willing to pay for it. You should say "Sorry we do not carry them, may I suggest something else instead?"

Went for breakfast. The place is dated but clean. Parking can be challenging. There is no free WiFi. The food is not the greatest, the bun was good and fresh, but there was a hair in it.

Stephen L.

Definitely a staple. Traditional HK-style cafe with DELICIOUS pineapple bun - probably one of the bests in GTA. BTW I really don't get the complaints towards the services. Seriously the service is never bad for me - and I do not speak Cantonese at all.

Pixel Slayer

Awesome food and service!!

Amicia Riley

Great service, great food

Curitis Jean

The food here is very unique. It would be better if the price could be cheaper.

Paul Pan

Very affordable breakfast and brunch choice, they also offer buns for the out. Recommend their brunch combo (A, B, C etc.) which are value of the choice, French toasts are also made to the perfect crisp. Their baked rice bowls however are not so tasty as they put artificial (I think) sauce on them making them sour.

Jeremy Gervais

Amazing pineapple buns.

David Zhang

Cheap eats, homemade tastes

Hong Kong style restaurant

B L

Authentic Hong Kong style restaurant. Love the satay beef noodle and I’d go for optional Nissin instant noodle whenever my mood feels like. One of the most must-haves is the pineapple bun. While many Hong Kong restaurants offer, they are nowhere close to this. The caramel top is crispy while the bun is soft but not too oily. Enjoying that with a piece of butter in it is the best and most Hong Kong delicacy you can have. Some complain that they don’t sell pineapple bun with pineapple filling. To be honest, I have never heard of that in my life. Unless the menu shows it, by asking for the same thing multiple times won’t help. Perhaps it’s worth researching for a real pineapple bun would be a better idea than getting a smack in the face. Milk tea is decent though I wouldn’t say it’s the best in GTA, but enough to curb your crave. Combining that with the most authentic noodles and protein (egg/ham/sausage/omelette), I’d say it’s the best combo you can get anywhere in GTA for the price you pay. Haven’t been there for a while due to covid but definitely planning to drop by soon.

Edwin Chan

I love it, but it's closed till July, 20, 2016 due to renovations. :D

Sunny Kwong

Nice hole in the wall HK cafe that serves meals for very reasonable prices. Lunch consists of bowl of daily soup, main dish with rice and coffee/tea. Pineapple buns with butter are also very popular afternoon tea snack here.

(Translated) It is a popular Hong Kong-style restaurant in the city. The price is fair. (Original) 是城中热衷的港式食肆。取價公道。

Jon Hor

Average food. Nothing to shout about. 3 of us came into the restaurant. My wife brought a cup of Tim Hortons coffee. Was told not allowed to bring in outside food or drinks. We proceeded to ordrr food. My wife didnt want anything. Told there will be $3.50 charge if she doesn't order anything! Eventhough the 2 of us, except my wife were ordering food. ☹️????

Patrick Ma

Good price

Aqua Aqua

(Translated) Satay Beef Noodle, Iced Milk Tea, Pineapple Stuffed Satay beef noodle with doll. . . The doll noodles are cooked just right, the beef tastes good, but the satay taste is completely absent, like beef with oyster sauce and more D. Iced milk tea. . . There is only sweetness, no tea, failure. Pineapple full. . . Good level, but sweeter. (Original) 沙爹牛肉公仔麵，凍奶茶，菠蘿飽 沙爹牛肉公仔麵。。。 公仔麵煮得剛好，牛肉口感好，但完全不覺沙爹味，似蠔油牛肉多D。 凍奶茶。。。 只有甜味，沒茶味，失敗。 菠蘿飽。。。 有水準，但甜了一些。

Tony Ma

Good food and inexpensive.

Helen Han

shabby environment but i guess its the same level as its price? despite the poor ambiance and service, food is alright

Lisa Lisa

I loved this restaurant before. Then, one day I ordered a lunch combo. I found the green pepper was rotten, even the thick-flavoured chilli source cannot cover that bad taste. Serving rotten food breaks the line. I will never go back to this restaurant.

Philip Ng

Friendly authentic HONGKONG cha charn teng. Very good milk tea.

Raymond Kan

Egg Omelette are burnt and dry. No respect to customer. No choice of . I did not like it
