Good bakery good choices

Best mango cake in town!

I ordered a mango cake for my papa’s birthday and everybody loves it!! Presentation is nice, it’s super fresh as they make many cakes daily. This bakery is like a mini cake factory where they bring out fresh cake from the back when customers come walk in without a pre order. It’s best to order a day in advance to guarantee availability. I also love their egg tarts very much

Alice Kwok

Their cake is very good quality

love the toys

Cashier is very very rude, impolite, bad attitude. Need to fire her. Went 24 March 2021 in the evening served by a lady and she was very very rude. Like the cake but need to reconsider if I should still go there in future because really don't feel good how badly I was treated by the staffs there. Boss of cakeview please reconsider to teach them customer serve satisfaction if not you will have a lot of customers run away.

The service is so rudeee..even I paid tips

Danny Tang

Affordable breakfast/lunch options and amazing eggs tarts!

Derek P

Amazing egg tart when its FRESH out of the oven, but that depends on luck. If you get lucky, or you could try calling before you go buy it. They might tell you when they are coming out of the oven

Really lovely cafe and bakery. If you're looking for a mango cake for a birthday or celebration, they make amazing, fresh and tasty cakes for a great price. Their buns are always a reliable treat and their macarons taste really good as well. I used to go here often for breakfast or lunch with my family to get satay beef rice noodle. Most of their meals come with a drink and toast and that's always a nice addition. Friendly staff :)

I was completely dissatisfied with a birthday cake purchase. I first enter the bakery thinking that the staff would be kind as I had paid 33.00 for a birthday cake, only to be treated with rudeness by the lady at the cash. She was making it a big deal when I had asked her for an extra box to separate the cake and then told me that I had to pay for plastic forks and knives to eat with?? What a god damn joke. To top it off I was hoping just for a delicious cake after paying 33.00 only to get a very bland cake with little taste and creaminess, the entire reason for purchasing fruit cake in the first place. I was very dissapointed and will definitely spend my money elsewhere, or at another nearby Chinese bakery, who I am sure will be worth every penny. If I could rate a zero star I definitely would. A definite no for a recommend.

William Tang

offer a variety of egg tarts and tasty

Not just a bakery. Stick around for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea! They have a simple menu with things like sandwiches and simple soups. I recommend the french toast made with the pillowy soft bread they make in house! They also have an ever popular mango mousse cake that is perfect for birthdays.

Connie Tong

It was okay... I got a mango cake and it was not cheap for a 9 inch cake. Cost me $40 with writing. The taste wasn’t worth the money I paid for a 9 inch mango cake. I would probably order elsewhere next time

Jorge Richard

Its not a fancy place, but has a wide variety of baked goods, and good prices. In a not restrictions times, they also have a very affordable menu (i didn't check for take out availability). Located in a plaza with parking lot available

Nathalie Mark-Yam

This is the place to go for chinese egg and milk tarts. They make it with the flakey crust or the cookie crust so you have options.They are both so delicious. They also have the chinese buns and fruit cakes. This place is also a cafe that serves HK diner food. Their breakfast combo is pretty good for $4.99. I also tried the egg sandwich. It was great with a good amount of egg in it and the bread is super soft and not too thick. They just renovated the place so it looks refreshed.

Nancy Tan

The BEST mango cake that we ever had! One of their bestseller in the store especially summer time. Filled with fresh mango chunks in every layer.

t

Like the store but not the employee, there is one employee that's very very rude. She will make customers wait for checkout (For no good reasons) and if your change for the bill is a quarter or two she would be very upset you waited to get the quarters back etc. I would rather give it to a homeless person than her. Super Rude, they should fire her. Not going back again and I have been a customer for years

andre

Great curry dishes, recently renovated

Franklin Lam

One of the better Chinese bakery into the area.

Charles Young

Unbeatable mango cakes. Order in advance.

Itsokjo

Not the cheapest Chinese bakery but they make good food. Got a durian tart yesterday for $1.90. Opened up the display and the durian aroma was very apparent. Also got two peach pastries for $1.90 each. They're puff pastry with a small custard layer in the middle and a canned peach half on top. Not bad. Rather pretty. They also make tasty cakes.

nice place for a quick breakfast. You can get the pineapple bun and ask them for “bo lo yau” to add a slab a butter in the middle

Francis Leung

Fresh mango cake always the best choice, however price had been jump up over 30% from not too long ago.

Mary Lim

Their cakes ????are excellent, especially the fresh, mouthwatering mango cake. Their black forest cake is also very good. All the cakes can be custom made and they make 6 types of egg tart too. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served all day. Their menu includes a large variety of drinks, sandwiches, baked items, noodles and rice.

Wynneth

I haven't been here in years. I was in the neighbourhood and decided to come by for some afternoon tea. It was quite busy with customers constantly streaming through the shop whether to stay and eat or purchase some pastries to take away. We ordered the fried pork chop bun, pork pickled cabbage vermicelli in soup and the chicken vermicelli in soup. It didn't take long for our food to come out. Each item is $5.99 with a choice of beverage (coffee or tea). Although the fried pork chop bun is good it is not worth paying that amount. We were a bit disappointed as we used to come frequently and remembered it being much better.

Jana Angela Neria

No other people inside but took sooooo long

Kiak Ting

I was there 3pm on Thursday. Only one other customer there. Picked up Portuguese egg tarts. Too bad they didn't have any fresh ones. The fresh ones are amazing. The non fresh are just ok. Service is ok.

Maxine Hu

Good place to buy chinese buns.

Jenny Fu

I've been coming here with my parent ever since I was young. The food menu is simple but the bake goods and sweets are pretty darn good.

Samantha C.

My mother and I used to come to this bakery a lot. Very cheap lunches. My favourite is the spaghetti curry with egg on top.

Wendy C.

My go to for egg tarts. They’ve got an wide assortment of egg tarts as well as other buns and pastries.

Buns are alright. Nothing special. It doesn't taste bad but it's also not good. Service is extremely bad. No manners at all. I probably won't be back.

Mandy Ng

Mango chestnut ???? freshly made. Quality comes with higher price.

dylan yeung

nice place for small sit down

Observant Egg

Love their mango cake and their buns are well priced.

Amelia Rankin

I have been to a few bakeries, but this one i have to say was not the greatest i went too. When i go buy buns i useslly get 3 for myself and 3 for my husband. I got some that i get at most of the other bakeries and my husband likes go change things up. We got one dessert that was great and it looked my creme brule. And he got the egg tart. It wasnt cooked enough giving his a raw taste. The sea food bun he git he said gad a really fishy taste. We didnt know cash was the only option their too. Since we always carry a card. When we got to tbe front we asked if they had debit and the woman sad they only take cash, and then we received some dirry looks. Most likely not coming back

One of the best places to order cake, very fresh! We always get the mango mousse or the fresh fruits. Definitely order ahead for parties or dinners. They do have some in store cakes to pick from for last minute people. Also, if they know that the fruits like the mango is not in season they will let you know and if you still want to buy it then it's your own choice. The bakery goods are always fresh, they have quite a few seating areas for high tea and such but I believe their food/drinks menu is all day.

Nusrat Quazi

Their customer service sucks! Even the place was alright!

Fonson Seto

Good

Mac Hua

The pastry on the egg tarts was really good. Only problem was that the egg custard was too sweet, but that's a personal taste thing.

Yuki SmileyFace

Trying not to be bias here. The cake is good, mango is very sweet, probably because it’s mango season right now. But the service is really bad. I called in this morning and no greeting, I picked up the phone and they were like “what!”. I even had to ask them, is this Cakeview Bakery. The staff was so rude. I almost wanted to just hang up and not buy from them. When I went to the store and pick up, no greeting again and I was charged $36. I asked them wasn’t it $34 and they said it’s $36 because I wanted to add the chocolate that says “Happy birthday” on it. I said no one told me, and they were like I’m telling you now. Tbh, I don’t care how good your cake is, but I’m never going to buy from them ever again.

Albert Kan

Egg custard tart is almost the best in town. Go at 2:30 to 3:00 to get them fresh from oven.

T.

Their popular and well-known mango cake is truly one of the best out there. It is generously covered in sliced mangos and mango chunks inside. It was very fresh and not overly sweet. The low reviews are indeed accurate about the service. There is one particular lady who can be quite rude and abrasive so you'll be lucky to catch her on a good day. The interaction with staff is fairly short so the cake is still worth it imo.

Shu Zhang

Absolutely delicious mango cake!!

Consumed by Arnie

Cakeview Bakery & Cafe has been a longtime staple in the Scarborough community for decades for their classic Cantonese baked items and pastries. Even before COVID-19, locals will wait in line just for their legendary Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts and Portuguese Egg Tarts. Prepared fresh every hour, it's always a good time when you can get a half-dozen fresh tarts for every visit. The crust of their tarts has a nice hint of butter to enhance the sweetness of the custard of either egg tart. I always look forward to enjoy their egg tarts with a shot of espresso and it's worth the wait and drive for them!

Yongke Wnag

Five stars for the products and one star for the service. That's the average ????

Andy Lee

They also have quick lunch menu with over 15 entrees.

Worst service!! 0 star！

Terrence C.

VERY RUDE SERVICE - wont' recommend it. Only one employee was the worst

Great food great price

Emily Li

(Translated) I don't want to give a star, the waiter's attitude is particularly bad, the day's good mood is gone, the waiter still loves to shoot the boss. The attitude of the garbage service, you must not go there to order the cake. And the cake is not at all The ugly word written on the cake above the cake (Original) 我一颗星都不想给，服务员态度特别的差，一天美好的心情就这样没了，那服务员还爱拍老板马屁.垃圾服务态度，你们千万不要去那里订蛋糕.而且蛋糕一点也不好吃蛋糕上面的字写的特别的丑

BBQ Pork Bun. Can't believe how few BBQ Pork there. :( [update 2021-12-30] Another bad experience. Bought a pasty, the price tag shows $2.1 However, when paid , the cashier charged $2.2. Told her that the price was showing $2.1. Guess what happened? She looked at me in disbelieve, then went to check the tag and I was right, she use a marker to change it to $2.2 AND she still charge me $2.2, not honouring what was shown!!!!

Victoria Kwong

Most delicious egg tarts in all of Toronto!! :) They have the fluffiest paste, and the filling is the perfect level of sweetness. My mum requested I get more egg tarts for her today, after I got some for my family earlier last month. Budget friendly place for an afternoon tea or lunch!

Chloe K

Love their egg tarts, especially right out of the oven! Great selections of different tarts and flavours! Heard great things about their mango cake, will definitely give it a try next visit!

Audi Boy

Mango cake is great but a bit on pricier side.

Carrie C.

The fresh mango cake is very good and fresh. My mom loves it for her birthday.

Jacky Cheung

Super Rude - One employee will yell at their customers for no good reasons.

S Yeung

Cakeviews been around forever. Just your typical Cantonese bakery. You can get macaroni soup or egg sandwiches as well as baked goods. Chinese tea and coffee too. Cheap place to kill time while you wait for appointments.

Weiming Cao

amazing mango cake and all cakes are yummy

Jon Hor

Very good Mango cake.

Jessica Ng

I was there today to pick up a mango cake that I had preordered only to find out that there was a mix up and they gave my cake to another customer with the same last 4 digits of my phone number... Waited 15 minutes while they sorted through their receipts. Couldn’t find it and decided to just take one out of their display. They took the cake to the back and were gone for another 10 minutes. Lady brought the cake back and said “I had to take off the chocolate placard so the cake is not perfect. Is that okay?”. What other choice did I have? Considering I spent almost 30 minutes waiting to pick up a cake I had preordered, they should have just given me the $2 chocolate placard instead of ruining a $50 cake... Horrible experience. Doubt I’ll be coming back.

The best ever birthday cake.... Planning in having the same for my next birthday.

I finally get a chance to try their famous fresh mango cake. I bought the 6” mango cake for $34. I arrived late in the afternoon and it was the last one. If you want to get one for sure, you better call to order in advance. The mango cake comes in two sizes. The bigger size 8” was $60. The cake was very fresh and the sweetness was just right. They used high quality in season mangoes. We enjoyed it very much!

Ordered some bbq pork buns. My second bite into the bun and there was a long piece of hair in my mouth coming from the bun. I spit out the hair immediately and I was utterly disgusted. I went inside to tell the worker and she told me to get another bbq to replace it. No apology, no offer of a refund, the worker didn't seem to really care. I didn't take a replacement bun as the baker could've left hair in the other buns as well. I just left and threw away the rest I purchased previously. Terrible experience and I will NEVER go back there.

roxane klavir

rude and does not speak english which makes it hard to order.

Grace Cheung

Went there for a Saturday quick lunch. Food was subpar. Don't try their spaghetti bolognese, very watery and yucky sauce. Beef brisket vermicelli was ok for $5.50. Tried their fresh mango cake for $28. Too sweet to my taste and too soft but it does have quite a lot of mangoes. Lots of other better dining options.

Timothy Toong

There was a long piece of hair inside the bun. Absolutely disgusting, save your money and go to another bakery.

YaLi Zhou

Never again

Jeremy Wong

Satisfactory egg tarts, but absolutely terrible service.

Kit Ng

Fresh mango cake we have in April was much better...maybe Mango is not in season that's why the mango is sour!!

Enoch Tang

A long time establishment that has been the same for as long as I remember. Mangoe cake is a staple must try :)

David Cheng

Best mango cake, chicken pie and coconut tart in town.

Tiffany Lam

Their milk tea isn't as good as Marathon's, but it's decent. It does tend to lean on the sweeter side. Their all day breakfast combos are a good deal and comes with a drink for less than 6 bucks. My favorite is the pork chop with vermicelli noodles. They also have really good black forest cake and egg tarts.

While Singapore has a Lana Cake affiliation to childhood memories, Canadians are lucky we have such a sweets expert from this cafe/bakery, creating memories for us. Patrons coming to order cakes for birthday parties or other occasions will usually opt for their well balanced mango fresh cream cake. Unfortunately, they don't sell it in single piece servings for the occasional teatime treat. Hence, most may only get to enjoy it less than once a year. The cafe itself is just a small corner of square tables around their self serve bakery section. It's rare to find such a genuine Hong Kong style bakery/cafe these days. In fact, it's rare to have such old style bakeries in Hong Kong. Scarborough did well to preserve such 1980s heritage. From the outside, this bakery does not look at all inviting, nor spot clean. However, they do well on their cake orders where you should pre order in case it's all sold out. For special occasions, they can customize a short message on the cake decor. The cute 80s style bear face puts an additional touch of its dated but treasured memories. Unlike hotel themed super sweet mousse style cakes that are popular these days, the sweetness and use of fresh cream hits a well proportioned tone so that it doesn't leave a bad aftertaste. They are very generous with the mango slices, which many mango themed dessert parlours cannot match up to. Their buns and tarts are not wonderful, but prices are reasonable. Can't expect much from customer service. Don't take any side remarks to heart from their counter staff. People usually just order their cake and go, unless they enjoy occasional small talks with loyal guests. Advise to go in with a smile, maintain attentive listening, answer questions and keep your own questions short.

Don't even deserve a star, extremely poor customer service, don't go there if u want to have a good day. Extremely, extremely rude!!!

Very friendly service and the owner was very help in my selection of bakery goods.

(Translated) I went there to buy iced milk tea today. The taste is out of date. The short woman has a bad attitude and I don’t know if she owes her money. The cake is too expensive. There is no bankruptcy. The sanitation environment must be very poor. I have to report it. It’s funny. I can leave a message, I really don't want to...

Great bakery! Staff is not as friendly as I hoped, seems like they're always in a rush. Food is great though!

Lindsay Yang

Cake is good , service is poor. Don’t expect a smile or greeting from the cashier or any help at all!!! I will get my cake else where next time

Warren San

Best mango cakes we have had. Had the mango cake 4 times now and will go again. Way better than a couple others we have had in Toronto. Soft, mildly sweet, a layer of diced mango in between with a healthy layer of sliced mangos feathered in a circle on top. Mangoes are perfectly ripe, soft, sweet. They don’t make much else because they have perfected the mango cake. Chocolate sign is $5 extra. Order atleast 2 days in advance. Very chinese, straight to the point, decide fast. Their flaky pastry egg tarts are also the best!

Jasmine Y.

Pretty good, but service could be better.
