Reviews of Bake Island Bakery & Cafe (Bakery)

Mimi W

Unfortunately, the prices are based more on location/convenience than baked good quality, but this newer Chinese bakery isn't bad. Some of the buns were a little too soft, despite looking like they should be more crusty or flaky. It's still a good place to stop for a quick treat. - Mimi's Cake Tour

Miro Kim

I love bakeisland! I go there very often and their breads are freshly baked and tasty always. The sweetness of the breads is perfect. Also, the price is very reasonable and the staffs are kind too. I highly recommend their Curry beef pastry, pork buns and egg tart, especially!

Ken Woo

This place is mostly meh. There are bun shops in the neighbourhood (not in chinatown) that are similar or better for less $. The location doesn't justify the significant markup on the buns.

Rachel Neave

A small yet great bakery with great pastry and bun options. Other reviews said prices were considered high for buns, and they are higher- but not unreasonable for the quality and freshness. The cakes are fantastic. I loved the green tea mousse and mango pudding. Overall its a lovely bakery that smells amazing as soon as you walk in.

D Kourt

Everything looked fresh. What I bought was very fresh and tasted incredible. Service was fast and friendly.

Sandro Antao

Really good bakery. Lots of unique and different offerings. Had the mango smoothie as well and it didn't disappoint. I wish the service was better from the cashier but besides that can't complain.

Glenn Dickler

Relley good sweets and other foods

Shyana Sri

The pasteries and buns here are so delicious and fresh. My favourite is the carbon cheese bun, they put a ton of filling inside. I also come here to get birthday cakes, the cakes are so airy and much less sweet then typical cakes. Be sure to bring cash for payments, they have additional charges for card purchases.

Good buns, like their shredded pork bun, cheese bun, and coconut buns. I think these buns are their signature buns, which differs from other pastry shops.

Shengjiang Ye

(Translated) It may be a shop that can't be eaten in the middle, and the cake on the counter is very beautiful. I bought three things, no one is delicious, the bread is very hard and the cream is slightly sour ~ far below the expected level (Original) 可能算是一家中看不中吃的店，柜台里的蛋糕做的很漂亮。我买了三样东西，没有一个好吃的，面包体很硬奶油略酸～远低于预期的水准

Anita Windisman

An inviting and great smelling bakery that has all of their goodies protected in plexiglass compartments. Offers modern interpretations of Taiwanese and Hong Kong treats. Beautifully presented too. I tried the Taro Bread, Chocolate Waltz Bread, and the Green Tea Red Bean Bun - and none were overly sweet which was terrific.

Bo Shiun

Been to Bake Island Bakery twice. Upon my first visit, I tried their shredded pork bun and salted egg yolk red bean pastries. They were great but a bit pricy, likely due to the prime location of this bakery. Upon my second visit, I tried their lemon black tea, and it was pretty subpar. The newly renovated Hong Kong Island Dim Sum House on Spadina has better pastries, greater variety at a much lower price point.

Davey TEO

Pricey place for chinese baked goods. The ingredients seem to be a bit more sweeter than their usual chinatown counterparts. Expect a 25 to 75 cents difference in pricing. Overall, good location, friendly staff and very clean and organized cafe. There is limited seating as well.

walrus and the eggman

I bought a mango swiss roll cake and tasted good, but I found thick, short-length, and curly hair INSIDE of bread. It was absolutely disgusting. Be aware of the hygeine please Anyway I enjoyed the egg tart.

Craig Hobbs

Great bbq pork buns????

Philip Anupol (OrangeSkiesBurn)

When TF did I even go here, Google?!

Norwood Leung

The mango cake and mango cheesecake was delicious. It is a little expensive but worth the price. The bake goods are made fresh every day.

Patrik Baghdassarians

Shop was closed when it said open online and on the front door ... not impressed

clewd Upton

I like the custard buns... fried or not they're good:)

Alex

Very delicious food and drinks!

Jason Shim

Fresh and buttery pastries. Delicious. Mochi croissant is a novel combination.

Shaun Dominic

Really good mango smoothie, you can really taste the fresh mangoes. The coconut cocktail bun is definitely my favourite one there. Would go again!

Priscilla Deng

I always get the egg tarts there since its so good and cheap. Their other buns are super tasty too. Whenever I pass by I always get a cup of milk tea (only $1.5!) and they've always been really friendly.

James Wilson

Awesome food and service

Shamik Selukar

I tried the sausage roll, The bun was a little bit sweet but the rest of the roll was really good. I also tried the cheesy garlic bread, It was really soft. Lastly tried the tiramisu, It was good overall. Worth for money.

BLL Jia

The price is cheap for this downtown location. The bread is freshly bake every day , the drink is made of fresh fruits and food. They look nice, taste yummy. of course , will come back .

Evergreen Winner

This is an amazing place. I just love it. Amazing choices of bread and its very very tasty. Also very cheap and yummy. Must visit.

噓

decent bubble tea

Alexandra Decker

Delicious product, great variety, and low price. Really authentic - exactly the flavor you'd get if you visited a shop in Hong Kong. Had a wonderful experience.

Richard S

States that business is opened at 8AM. Stood outside until 8:10. Lights still out. I knocked and someone popped their head out from the back and then disappeared again. Terrible way to run a business.

Andrew Ross

This place is simply awesome. Their pastries are tasty and at a very low price. Probably the only affordable snack place in the area.

Jemy Joseph

Went in for an afternoon snack, thinking I like to try something new. Ordered green tea moose cake. Tasted very dry and stale. Asked staff if it was fresh and they had no idea. After a couple more bites, really couldn't eat more and brought to the staff's attention that I think the cream is probably stale. Felt like my comments were brushed off. No apology. No reimbursement. An "oops" was the best I get. Not coming back here.

Brendan Daw

Enjoyed everything I've bought here so far. Only complaint is the layout... I won't go in if I see there are more than a couple people in there. Too cramped.

Elise ZiYuan Wang

Cute bakery that I've enjoyed visiting several times, but management's attitude towards staff and customers is a turn-off. Be aware that the 'Daily Special' poster is not an accurate depiction of what you get (ie different colour, no toppings).

Kyle Zhang

love this place. its really cheap and fresh,good spot to relax and get a quick snack????

Manyuan Yang

MANGO SMOOTHIE IS MY FAVORITE????????????????

WALTER LESCANO

that good

Robert Wolf

The buns are just okay with a good variety. The half and half coffee tea combo is watery with little taste. The birthday cakes look really really good and at decent price. Mixed feelings but give it a try at least once.

Afo Abe

I ordered and paid for a large yet received a regular this morning. Not only that the cashier ripped me off, I gave her 5 dollars to get nothing back, I should have paid 4+tax=4.52 dollars for the "large" drink. Like let me decide whether or not to give you a tip you cant just decide you wont give me my change back. Seriously!!

Sarah Barradas

Good eats but pricy for the items

Oliver Barton

I think the bake island's taste, freshness and price ~~~ performance cost ratio is the best. My favorite is Shredded Pork Bread, Sweet potato buns, strawberry buns, coconut egg buns...~ Super delicious! Every time I buy a lot, take it home and share it with my family!

Heung kong yung

service bad ???? overcharge and horrible attitude apologize. Foods just ok in that price at downtown.but not going back for sure

Rahman Hafez

I didn't like the bubble taste at all it were pretty hard and i try the mango swiss roll was not good

K N

Their bread is soft like heaven!

Duc Nguyen

BE CAREFUL!! I almost never give 1 star, but I have to this time. The owner or manager is terrifying, extremely evil and seemingly abusive to the employees who look like her children. Very rude to the customers.

Jay

It's a very nice-looking Asian bakery shop on Yonge St. Everything is presented nicely in the glass cases and makes use of every inch of space in the shop. I walk by more often than not when travelling between work sites and found myself wandering one day after the positive review from a coworker. I can definitely say that the buns are presented better here with a little more artistic flair to make it enticing for you to buy. Eye appeal can be buy appeal. I only had one bun which was the HK BBQ Pork bun. It was about 40 cents more than a similar bun that you could find at other bakery shops. The bun on the outside doesn't look all too different but the differences are a little more clear when you take a bit inside. I found that there was more filling as well as more authentic chunks of BBQ pork in this bun. Is that extra cents worth it? I'm still undecided but no hesitation that when I have a craving for some buns, I can come here and expect nothing less.

Brynn Smith

Lovely variety of baked snacks and great prices!

Anthony Boese

Wow! Only stopped in on a whim but I am so glad that I did. Everything was fantastic!! So light, fresh, and tastes delicious! Best little surprise this month!!

Jim A

Good Chinese buns. Service is a bit slow but they are new and will likely get the hang of it

Morphia32

As others have noted, these Chines buns are a bit pricey considering they are quite stingy with the amount of filling they put in some of those buns. The bun is also quite dry, similar to old bread that's been sitting on the counter for a while, though this could be for the weekend. Otherwise, they get a point for being creative in reinventing those classic flavours and for their presentation.

Shanny Foo

A bit pricey for Chinese pastries but expected considering the location. Quality was OK but Chinatown has some cheaper and higher quality options if you can make the trip. The bubble tea was also just OK.

Kat Jovey

So yummy! They have great selection and very fancy buns and pastries. Not the friendliest but their food is epic

Yasmine Megahed

Tasty, healthy, inexpensive, but accepts debit cards only.

Richard Mellish

Hotdogs and sausage wasnt bad. Taste was rich and tasty. Mango smoothie and ice tea with fruit awesome.

Marcos Santana

(Translated) A variety of sweet breads and savory fillings. Pure delight (Original) Uma variedade de pães doces e com recheios salgados. Delicia pura

Sam Chong-Luke

Place looks great! Buns looked delicious but when I opened up the bbq pork bun there was hardly any pork.. though tasty it didn’t have the distinct flavour of HK bbq pork..bubble tea didn’t taste like tea either...maybe their pastries are better?

레이

Whenever I happen to drop nearby, I make sure to grab some bread on the way! :) The bread here is a but pricier than other Asian bakeries, but nothing too expensive. The savoury breads are pretty sweet (like the sausage buns and stuff), so if sweetness is something you want to steer away from when eating bread, watch out when you come here. Great to drop by quickly for a snack and a drink, I recommend if you happen to have some extra time to kill.

Ro CA

Okay. Location is difficult. Entryway is narrow and not welcoming. The baked goods don't appear to be baked on site therefore not giving the appearance of freshness. Okay for a quick bun. The flavours are Asian focused. Decor is nice. Service is passable. Overall, just OK.

Vera Zhao

I always come to this shop to get fresh bakery goods when I’m in downtown, great location, easy to find out, nice and clean environment which is important for food shop. They offer various option, the most important thing for me is the taste not too sweet, Good with coffee or bubble tea.

Mariana Rocha

I love that place! My only concern is having to pay an extra fee for debit card payments. Their buns are very soft and tasty. Their ice tea is freshly delicious. The place is clean and offers a good variety of deserts.

Alexander Cortes

Awesome pastries , my favorite been the coconut buns theyre always fresh and enough to grab. The desserts look amazing too, definitely recommend this bakery.

Jon Yip Chuck

delicious pastries at a reasonable price!

Tina Rose

Bakery is pricey but quality of food and presentation is good. Would recommend.

paulab

Ordered the egg coconut bun and chocolate croissant which were great! There’s an additional charge if you pay bu card so just bring cash :)

Mihika Bahadur

Ordered their mango sponge cake over the phone and picked it up the next day. The cake was delicious and the perfect size for our friends birthday.

Sawa gon

They were more pricey than other Chinese bakeries but you will get what you pay!!! They put a lot of filling inside and I loved the taste. The cream bun was my favorite!! I wanna try everything.

Its AMIlIA

Amazing place and lovey servicer！ You can use mandarin and Cantonese to buy your cakes and breads. The milk tea and carbon cheese is very delicious！BTW everything have good price.

Hadi J

Average cookies and cakes although inexpensive.

Rand Habbal

AMAZING Buns! the coconut bun and cheese bun are miraculous

Adil Kabeer

Good

an vuong

The owner is rude to customers, she yelled at her employees when they were processing my orders. As a result, I was charged for 3 cups of milk tea but she just gave us 2 cups. I don't have enough time to come back to claim. And I especially don't want to come back every time I remember her attitude. Worst experience ever. Won't come back.

Sonika Sharma

Delicious cakes! Not the best at erotic custom cakes but to be fair, they warned me about it. The buns and pastries are pretty decent too. Nice staff!

samaneh Yazdani

I liked the tiramisu cake but it did not taste like tiramisu and just looked like tiramisu with lots of fruits on it.

Jennifer Che

A touch pricier than other Asian bakeries. In return, you get a cleaner shop, music, and unique twists on the old classics. Buns are a bit sweet and too fluffy for my taste. Haven't ordered any of the full size cakes, but they look incredible. Note that they offer a strawberry durian bun. Bubble teas are cheap, but only so-so. A touch of the artificial syrup flavour, and yet watery.

Wendy He

Very good location for an Asian bakery shop, as it's rarely seen in the central and busy part of Toronto. The buns are quite tasty, and the variety they offer are pretty-looking and creative. The drinks are also offered at a reasonable price, given that some drinks are made with real fresh fruit like Mango Smoothie and Taro Milk Tea. Quite modern and elegant interior decoration with simple seating area for a nice little break. Overall this store is definitely worth checking out.

Derrick C.

Cash payment preferred apparently. $0.10 fee to use credit or debit. $0.50 fee for purchase under $10. Regular lychee bubble tea paid via debit and under $10 cost me close to $7 with fees...so be aware. Lady working the shop was rude and unhelpful. Kids running all over the place outside and behind the counter in the bakery so be aware of potential cleanliness and hygiene issues. Lychee milk tea with lychee bubbles was terrible. Lack of flavour and lychee tea was more like lychee syrup. Pastries look old and have been sitting out for some time so I passed on that. 2 stars for cakes as they look delicious but I haven't tried them.

JY

First time here and the buns are amazing! Loved the carbon cheese bun and the japanese taro bun! Taste awesome and the cakes taste geat too, bought one for my birthday and definetely loved it. Big recommand to try out those buns! Not pricy for a store on yonge st, dont know why they comment its pricy since they are paying a really hight rent.

Paulo Desousa

I will be visiting there again!????

Denise Matela

Got so giddy with excitement when I saw this place along Yonge Street. I mean, it reminded me a lot of bakeries in Asia. We got the strawberry and eclair and the green tea red bean bun. Boy oh boy did we enjoy them! Will surely stop by again for more!

Modca Carrión

One of my favorite bakeries, the prices are affordable and the bread is always delicious. It has a wide variety of flavors, from sweet like cheese or mango or coconut pie to savory like Bread with bacon or sausage. They also offer variety of bobba tea and coffee. The cakes are lovely and with a perfect decoration of the Japanese bakery

C

I want to buy their buns so badly every time. I walk in every time I pass it. But every single time I try to buy, I see flies flying over the buns or, like many flies, or the flies are straight up dead on their food. I so badly want to give you business, can you please individually package your buns please or figure out a system so that your food is protected? It breaks my heart, I want to eat it, but I can’t get myself to purchase anything when EVERY TIME I walk in I see bugs on your food.

Daniel G

Awful. Poor service. Ham and cheese bun served cold but they say its warm. It wasn't! ridiculous! Or they can microwave if you insist hahaha ????Almond croissant the worst ever.

wylin

The cake is not good. Buns are fine.

Peyton Drake

A bubble tea joint and a Chinese bakery smushed into one.I've had their egg tarts and coconuts, and they always taste fresh and delicious. The bakery itself is lovely. It's very clean, and everything is laid out nicely, but the space is a bit cramped when there are a lot of customers. I went a couple of times around 6pm, and even though there were only 3 people in front of me in line, it did take a long time to pay.

Dan Luo

Good quality of bread and cake

Xiao Ling Yu

Great food, lots of selection, clean and bright

Ben Luu

Impressed by the bright and clean environment. The bubble tea was quite good, strong tea but not bitter and at a very competitive price with the large chains (chatime, gong cha, coco). The buns are attractive and fresh. They are also very balanced in flavour; not overly sweet which I enjoyed.

Rubs H

My favourite bakery in Toronto.

Lily Chi

Good quality buns and drinks. Made everyday fresh and delicious. The cakes are very beautiful.

Jennifer C

Plenty of choices.

Dustin Nguyen

Very delicious buns and pastries a little pricier than other bakeries but the quality is well worth it. Only down side is there are very limited items compared to other bakeries of this sort but still delicious over all

Willie Siu

I really like the sweets from this bakery, but they also have salty treats. If you buy 6 pieces you get them tax free.

Fiona Zhou

All of the bubble tea and drinks are fresh fruit! The strawberry cheese drink is my favorite and is made with real strawberries!

杨慕雪

I order their cheese mango cake for birthday, it was tasty, and the price was reasonable, if you are looking for good cake, I recommend this.

Tiffany Veldkamp

We really enjoyed the baked goods from this bakery! Had the strawberry milk bun and the dough was amazingly fluffy. Would recommend this bakery.

jewlz t

Love this place. The coconut egg bun, garlic bread and basically everything is Mmmmm...... There have been a couple of misses that just weren't for me but I've been going a little too much lately ????. Also when you spend $20 + the order is tax free.

Henry Hwang

I found the store one day as I needed to do some shopping. I was really hungry, but I knew that I had to eat something light as I was going out to eat later. First thing I noticed when I walked into the store was that the buns are really expensive than that of Chinatown. I said to myself that it was probably due to being on Yonge Street. However, there are quite a few Chinese bakeries in financial district's food courts, and their rent is astronomical. I bought two buns. The first was the barbecue pork bun which had two very small pieces of barbecued pork. The colour was more grey than that I am used to. I also tried the pork steamed bun, and it was very bland. The buns from Island Bakery were $2 each for mostly dough and bread. The filling was bland. The buns I get in Chinatown are approximately $1 each, and they have more filling and tasted much better. Even the Chinese bakeries in the financial district is better tasting and cheaper. I don't think that I will come back to this store.

Marta Wallace

Amazing drinks

Anna Feng

I order the strawberry cake, the fruits are fresh, texture is good, after sometimes, they will have some new item, worth to try.

linda zhou

(Translated) When I walked into this Hong Kong-style bun shop, I liked it, the environment was clean and tidy, the service was good, all kinds of bread and cakes were fresh and delicious, I liked its sweet potato bread, cheese bread, mango cake, and its Fresh fruit drinks are very worthwhile to taste, the price is reasonable and not expensive, I will come back next time. (Original) 当我走进这间港式风格小圆面包店我就喜欢，环境整洁干净，服务好，各种面包和蛋糕新鲜和美味，我喜欢它的红薯面包,芝士面包,芒果蛋糕，还有它的鲜果饮品非常值得品尝的，价格合理不贵，下次我还会再来.

V Pun

Got the bubble tea special of the day - fresh purple potato milk tea. Did not taste any purple yam flavour. Also false advertising as the picture shows it’s purple and with tapioca but the actual drink looks like regular milk tea with no fresh potato pieces nor tapioca. When asked why drink is not purple, staff said because used only a little bit of sweet potato ????. Will not get their bubble tea again.

Anita Cen Liang

(Translated) I tried the curry beef bun here, it was a little spicy and delicious, and it was acceptable to the public. Coconut egg bun is also very good. Coconut egg bun is on top. Maybe because of the egg, it tastes very different. Recommended (Original) 在这尝过咖喱牛肉包，有点小辣很好吃，大众都能接受的辣度。Coconut egg bun也很可以，上面是椰子，可能因为有蛋吧，吃起来口感很不一样。推荐推荐

Nathalie Hua

Do not recommend any of the filled buns. They skimp out on the filling and the filling is a really weird texture. Not quite custardy pudding, not smooth and silky. It kind of looks like what you'd get if you add gelatin in corn syrup. The photo is after eating 3/4 of the bun. That is how much total filling was given in the bun. However, I thought the sweet potato mochi crissant was good. Overall, average. Terrible filled buns.

Ivy Li

delicious .Fabulous. Worth trying...I had a milk shake it tastes Sooo good...

KC

Bad bubble tea, it's a cup of ice with a few sips. Dont go here!

方梅兰

good food.

Y Lee

The buns are a little pricey but quality is evident in the taste of their buns. Interesting cake selection. One can order a slice of durian mousse cake. You can purchase a whole or sliced cake. If you want a certain type of cake, better to order a day or two in advance. Tried their fresh roll mango cake and the mange pieces in the centre of the cake fresh and yummy. Very Asian-friendly (in other words it is not very sweet tasting cake. Naturally sweet.). They have a very tiny seating area for you to eat your purchases or your drink order there.

Mahmoud Sayedahmed

Apple Lime Ginger tea with tapioca balls.. Must try with a botter sweet flavor that washes down any heavy dinner in a nice refreshing manner. The place is a Japanese bakery that seem to offer unique items... The smell of stale bread and fermented dough didn't seem appetizing so stick to bubble teas and drinks...

David Lazzaro

Worst buns I've had. Worst price too.

Anthony Guarino

Stopped by here on a weeknight. Grabbed the Hungarian, Paprika and Mushroom bun. It was not very good. Didn't have the freshness I was expecting either. Great location in the heart of Yonge / Dundas but the quality wasn't up to par.

Sarah Wang

My personal favourite place to grab a snack or a quick lunch. Among the many Hong Kong and Taiwanese bakeries, this one actually stands out!! You can actually see the bakers bringing freshly baked products from the kitchen to the store front. It provides so many varieties and the flavours and ingredients really worth the price they charge. The store itself is also very clean.

Hui Hu

OMG THIS IS LIK THE BEST BAKERY I HAVE EVER WENT TO LIK TGE BUNS ARE SO TASTY,SWEET,CRISPY AND TGE EGG TARTS ARE SO GOOD

Benny Zhang

Great place in DT Toronto to get a quicky pickup, and Egg Tart is tasty, so is fresh bread. I like Lemon icetea as well.

D N

Savory or sweet if you want a delicious Asian inspired treat, this is a nice little spot to grab a few different things. The pork buns with pork floss are my favorite!

Sarah Dunn

A little pricey but expected for it's location, youpayfor convenience! However, the buns are super tastey and fresh, I have a feeling it will become my go to place for a quick before class meal :)

Tianle Chen

The environment in the store is very poor, and The waiter’s attitude is really bad

Santiago Rey

Like this place a lot

Eric Li

Excellent quality and relatively cheap

Melissa Szopa

I've noticed the quality has gone down since they first opened. Still a nice treat, but quite pricey.

TaigaMillion

What a treat. Visited the area and while walking on Younge St, saw the photo of the cheese mango cake on the front of the store, had to go in. A nice addition to my trip.

Kai Zhang

They overcharged me. I assumed it was a mistake the first time it happened. The food is fine, but pay attention to your bill.

Andy Wong

Great place for coffee and buns and also many varieties especially mango cheese cake so delicious ????

Emi Mi

I tried the taro pastry and it was really good. The price is astronomical compare what you get though. But I will still come back.

Kate

Found hair in my bread this morning and thought i should let them know. The first thing the baker said was manager was not here, do you want a new one? I've visited a few times, really an apology would be enough...

Ziping Liu

These are my three favorite kinds of bread ~ I choose carbon bread and sweet potato bread, the taste is very good, I think it is suitable for diet! Service attitude is very good, and the waiter is very lovely!

Michelle Nguyen

Would give 0 stars if I could. First time writing a review on a business because the service is just horrible. Ordered a mango crepe cake for my birthday Thursday evening on the phone with a male employee and he confirmed it for Saturday, even got my name and phone number written down. I call on Saturday and an older female employee has no idea where my order is and tells me she'll call me back. Then, she proceeds to tell me that there is no order for my cake and I can only get a mango pudding cake??? She told me they don't take orders on the phone for cakes which is not stated on their website and the male employee did not tell me??? When I asked where the male employee is she tells me she doesn't know and proceeded to hang up on me. Now I have no cake for my birthday party and they singlehandedly made it the worst birthday ever.

(Translated) Good value for money. The taste is moderate and the price is reasonable (Original) 가성비가 나쁘지 않은 집. 맛은 중간이상에 가격이 적당해서 좋아요

Michael Kingsley

Super great quality bakery items. Great customer service. Highly recommend this place for a quick pick up for breakfast or snack.

Max K

Got there today at 9 AM and it was closed. Fake Business hours.

Ryan Wang

People without masks were literally coughing on the buns and handling it with their bare hands. The staff didn't seem to mind. Yet, this was during the height of the covid pandemic. Not impressed at all.

Rachel Dornian

Wonderful location for a bakery! Right on Ryerson campus it’s a great spot for students to grab quality food for a good price. I find the best times to go are around 10 and 1. The food is always fresh and it doesn’t seem to be as busy at those times. If you’re unsure of what to try they always have samples of different buns but my favourite is the carbon cheese bun. It’s the black bun filled with cream cheese. If you’re looking for a drink I highly recommend the taro milk tea. It’s made fresh with taro and tastes amazing.

Na Ro

The bubble tea was too pricey in my opinion but the pastries are really yummy ! Their cakes were very good quality.

armoredx1

Horrible bubble milk tea and coconut bun

Cindy Ma

Really convenient location. Decent buns, but really expensive for what they are. Better to just make the trip to Chinatown and spend about 75% less than you would here.

Kevin A

Normally a good place but today they tried to overcharge me and refused to admit it. I took my refund and left. As a business you shouldnt falsely advertise. If you advertise a deal you should follow through...

Wahaha

The food and environment are good and the service is nice.

Beiqi Yan

They advertise it’s tax free for 6 buns or more. Bought 7 buns and they still charged me tax, arguing that a croissant is not a “bun”. On their receipt tho oddly, everything is named as “bun###”.

Geoffrey Leung

Main complaint: PLEASE OPEN ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK!!!! Overall really great bakery. Seriously higher quality chinese bakery than anything in Chinatown and anything else downtown fir that matter. Sure it's $1.5 or $2, instead of 50 cents, but it's still really cheap overall for what you're getting. I was pleasantly surprised by the egg tarts, the buns with meat filling are also quite good. Since there isn't a ton of chinese bakery traffic here, things could be a little more fresh but nothing tastes older than an hour. Would recommend higher than any other chinese bakeries. Also check out the hot milk tea!

Kristie Lok

The salted egg yolk pastry is amazing, and they have a pretty wide selection of items too.

Sometimes Some days

I tried the coconut cocktail buns & it was so fresh & tasty enjoyed every bite!!! however,I don’t recommend the garlic bread It felts like they made it with garlic powder Bring cash ????

Zhou Freya

Breads here look fancy and taste rly good!

Nedrag Terces Eht

the bakery is amazing, and the cakes are even better! the only thing was when I bought the cake it says strawberry cheesecake but there was no strawberry in it..

Null76

Got 6 bread and there was a HAIR in my bread!! Threw the rest away...

Sagarika

A little pricey, but Delicious bakes!

Tangyao liu

Great bakery, nice owner, and is worthy of try

Camila M

It has a variety of baked goods. Many options of drinks as well. Great location. Really enjoyed the avocado green tea.

Weicle Wu

Nothing special.

Niyati Mehta

Hidden cost in the items you buy. Poster says bubble tea for 3.5 cad and when you pay,extra cost for bubbles and credit card payment so extra cads. Tea was not refreshing too. Ended up in disappointment.

Helen Lu

delicious. Love the coconut buns and cake. Good price for quality.

Sticky Heart

Bought the Cheese Carbon Bun. Nothing special. It's just a normal bread with a thin layer of cream cheese filling. I might try other cakes or pastries in the store as they look cute but definitely won't purchase this bun again.

Steve C

Nothing special and actually lower quality than normal Chinese bakery but very over priced. Looks are good but weak tasting. It is the only Chinese bakery in the downtown area so better than nothing but if you can try a bakery in Chinatown or Chinese mall.

Lan GE

Good Chinese bakery very affordable and tasty

MC C

Everything here looks very pretty but tastes stale and is overpriced for the quality. The service is pretty rude, and they charge you 50 cents extra to pay by credit or debit. I got the strawberry milk bun last time and it was basically just bread with pink food colouring.

V N

There was plastic in my drink.

abhishek arya

The place is closed permanently it seems

Racist.
