Everything here is reasonably priced considering the quality and the generous portions. The place is always packed, especially on weekends when the line stretches down the hall. The tray of pork floss buns hits the perfect sweet, salty, and fragrant balance. The fried chicken bun was a standout. Crispy juicy chicken with mayo inside a slightly sweet bakery bun is an unstoppable combo. The Garlic Hot Dog was pretty average since I couldn't taste any garlic at all. The curry bun could use more filling, but the pastry itself was flaky and flavorful. The cheese chicken bun was huge and super satisfying. We got it fresh so the outside was crisp and the cheese stayed gooey. We also grabbed their famous egg tarts. They kept selling out and the kitchen was scrambling to keep up, so we pre-ordered and came back thirty minutes later to pickup. Totally worth it. The crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is silky and creamy. In our opinion, these are the best egg tarts in the city. read more

So glad I checked out Baker Duck! This place has really good chinese baked buns if you love creative bakery items with an Asian twist. Got a bunch of baked goods here. Coconut bun which was soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. Egg tart was also really good. Crust is very buttery crust with a silky custard center. The wagyu curry bun had a rich and flavorful filling with just a hint of spice. Spam egg pineapple bun was also really gooood and the egg salad bun too. Also got a hotdog bun because I like hotdog. The buns were all excellent. Prices are fair for the quality, and the staff is kind and welcoming. Definitely a new go-to spot when I'm craving pastries and buns! read more

If you haven't tried this place, you're certainly missing out. One of my go to and fav bakeries. It's literally a hidden gem located inside Denison Centre beside the food court. Their pastries, buns and cakes are certainly affordable. Buy 6 no taxes. They have a great variety of classic and unique buns. They even have chicken and beef burgers which is pretty filling. The quality is excellent and eveything is just so delicious. I picked up 2 original pineapple buns and 6 mini cakes. Cakes were $1 each if you buy more than 4. They are not too sweet which I like. Would highly recommend checking this out. read more

Overall, big value and good quality for baked goods. The weekend I went always had an ongoing line and continuous replenishment of from the bakers in the back. The prices are reasonable as heck too. I got a coconut bread loaf, sesame ball, coconut butter bun, and a couple of egg tarts for about $12. Overall no complaints and tasted great next day. read more

A small, unassuming bakery located inside a strip mall but with tons of unique and BIG buns! Some items were super creative and reasonably priced. I just didn't have a big enough stomach for everything! I got: Sugar Donut (unfortunately I ate it next day and by that time it was stale but very big and looked great, hence the purchase) Grilled Cheese and ham cube bread Seafood Crab Meat Bun read more

A well-known HK-style bun and bread bakery in the Milliken neighborhood. Freshly made daily with good varieties. Usually, there is a short line at the cashier but it moves pretty quickly. Compared to other bakeries, they have some delicious gourmet buns such as... - Pork Floss Bun - Tempura Curry Beef Bun - Chicken Nugget Burger - Salad Hotdog Bun - Ham Egg Cheese Bun - New Orleans Fried Chicken Bun - Pineapple Bun (aka BLB) - AAA Steak Bun - Whole piece of purple yam bread, and much more. Very unique varieties on top of those classic HK-style pastries like Charsiu Bao, Sausage Bun, and Egg Tarts. Reasonably priced. Good quality with nice consistency. Always fresh. Pretty happy with this bakery even though it took me some time to make a trip there. Recommended! read more

Somebody pinch me cuz I think I died and went to Bao heaven. So many different and unique varieties of baos; my head was about to explode. Sweet or savory. Such a great variety to satisfy most Bao lovers. Also have small cakes and pastries at only $1.50 each or buy 4 for $4 Located at Dennison mall which is a very spacious, clean, almost sterile Asian mall in the same neighborhood as the OG Pacific Mall The crispy chicken Bao had crispy moist chicken pieces with the Bao split down the middle stuffed with crispy chicken. The eel Bao had a nice chunk of eel slathered in a light teriyaki glaze. The egg with luncheon meat was a great combination of flavors and textures with each bite. Didn't see any ducks baking so their name didn't make sense to me I'm like Pokemon. Gotta have them all, can't wait for my next visit read more

Looking for creative HK buns? Check out the Baker Duck! This is an affordable Chinese bakery at Denison Centre that has a wonderful assortment of HK sweet bread. It was really busy on a Saturday but I was ecstatic to get my hands on these: - Garlic Lobster Bun ($8.99) with a full tail - New Orleans Fried Chicken Bun ($2.80) - Chicken Nugget Burger ($3.99) Flavours are OK at this price point. Offerings flew off the rack like hot cakes even before reaching displays. Fresh lobster buns were the most popular with some folks waiting almost an hour; hence the recent price increase. Will I be back? Probably if I'm in the area. The packed shop is not for the faint of heart. read more

Came on a Saturday early afternoon. It was packed with people and there was a long line, but it seems to move relatively quickly. The actual space inside the bakery is very small and cramped. Realistically, there's only room width-wise for 1 person, and with everyone rushing to grab the good buns, it can feel a bit hectic and competitive. During my visit, a lot of the bun selection seemed to already be out. They have a tall rack of backstock, but they were for more of the basic buns you can find anywhere else. Got my usual - hot dog buns and egg tarts, but also tried the Hokkaido milk bun. They were all good. The bread was soft and fluffy, as I'd hoped and always enjoy. I will likely check out their other location next as I believe it's a bigger location there. read more

Worth the TikTok hype! Let me start off with - the line is long! Very long. People seem to go grab their buns inside the store first and then go outside to line up while holding their tray of buns. So much trust in this system! The lines are quite slow to move so you'll probably be waiting for a bit. BUT! The buns are the real star here. It's not your classic Chinese buns that you get at other bakeries, these ones are elevated. Think flakey croissants, fried chicken sandwiches, pizza buns, croquettes and more! A lot of items were empty in their slots but get refilled once in a while by staff. What's so great about the buns are that they're so simple yet so delicious. The fried chicken sandwich is better than the fried fish sandwich in my opinion. But that is the top sandwich to get so make sure you grab one! Overall, this place is worth the hype and worth the line up! read more

Cleaniness in this bakery had gone way down. Trays and tongs are dirty and sticky to touch. I also recently found out that they operated without a license for two years and abuse their workers, either underpaying or not paying them at all especially if they're students. Will not be visiting again. read more

I love this place just a little TOO MUCH. Quality Chinese confections which are updated every week. They had a huge fried chicken sando which I was tempted to buy. Extraordinarily busy, bustling place. But everyone politely dances around everyone else, and it works! read more

I originally came to Dennison center to buy soy milk. The logo of the store is so cute it caught my attention. There was a long line at the register too (note: I went on January 1st). The lines do go by pretty quickly though. The store is pretty small and can get congested. I was surprised by the variety of pastry and buns they had. There's one staff who always check the trays and they are quick to refill the buns. They have some old classics like chicken pie and egg tart. And they also have a twist on stuff like the pineapple bun. They had satay beef filling inside or even egg and spam. I got the New Orleans deep fried chicken bun and it was good. Surprisingly it was about $3. This had more chicken than a jr chicken at McDonald's. They also had a everything bagel with salmon and cream cheese. This was only $2.99! At other shops this will cost around $6 at least! I thought it was okay given the price. They put a right amount of salmon and way too much cream cheese. They even had a chicken drumstick inside a bun. I personally didn't get it but it was interesting. The mango tart was so good! I love it! It had the right amount of sweetness. The mango is a bit sour though but understandably it's not mango season right now. The mini cakes were $1 each if you buy 4. It was savoury sweet. Nothing special, it just tasted like a regular cake. The value is good though. Overall, I would defined come here again if I'm in the area. But one thing to watch out is, when you are paying, pay attention to what you are charged. It gets so busy so the cashier may skip your item or charge you the previous persons order. They don't give you a receipt, so once you leave that's it. Also make sure you bring cash, you can use your card but you have to have a total of at least $15. Finally, if you have any allergies, I would not recommend this spot. It's easy for the food to get cross contaminated with the tongs and trays. read more

Cute little bakery located in the Denison Centre. Best bet is to go there on a week day as you're guaranteed to get all their special sandwich rolls. They have a pretty good selection of the specialty sandwiches and traditional stuffed Chinese buns. The price is great for the quality, and their buns are soft and delicious. Service is fast and efficient and they restock fairly consistently as there is always at least one staff member taking note of the inventory. Would definitely head back to get more buns! read more

Baker Duck is a bakery located in Denison Centre. It takes over the spot that Windsor Fine Bakeries used to occupy. I came here to pick up a Too Good to Go mystery bag. It was my first time using the app and buying a mystery bag for $3.99. I like the concept. Instead of throwing food out at the end of the day, businesses that participate package their food and sell them at reduced prices to customers through the app. I came here on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks ago after work. Denison Centre always has a ton of parking. I tend to frequent Shoppers Drug Mart the most, but I parked closer to the main entrance, closer to Sunfood Supermarket. It took a while for someone to help me at the Baker Duck counter. There was one woman stocking baked buns in one of the display cases. Another woman came out of the baking area to help me out. The idea is that once you arrive to pick up your order, you mark your order on the Too Good To Go app to say that you're redeeming it for pickup. The staff member then confirms your order on that end and hands over your surprise bag. She had many prepared and handed me one. I thanked her and happily grabbed my bakery goods. Naturally, I had to take a wander around the bakery. It felt similar to Windsor, except that there wasn't as much of a butter smell around. Windsor used a ton of butter such that I always felt like I smelled like butter when I left the place. This place offers savory and sweet buns. I saw bread and sandwiches, too. It took me a few days to get through my mystery bag. The downside is trying to identify what each one is. I couldn't tell looking at some of them. When you crack one open to eat, it all makes sense. I ended up with these five flavours: - Barbeque pork bun - Butter floral roll - Fried curry beef bun - Pineapple bun with red bean filling - Coconut swirl roll I had the barbeque pork bun first. The exterior was fluffy and not overly doughy. The filling was excellent. It was a good amount of barbeque pork that was seasoned nicely, without hauling out a microscope to figure out whether it was there in the first place. The butter floral roll was delicious. It was buttery and fun to eat. I plucked each petal, as it were, and enjoyed it as a dessert item. It was slightly sweet, but not enough to send you on any sugar high in any orbit. The fried curry bun surprised me out of all of them. The curry was so flavourful. The ground beef was perfect with the sauteed onions. The dough was yummy. There were crispy bits on the outside. It was fantastic fried goodness. I haven't had a fried curry bun in ages. I used to love the ones at a bakery on Glen Watford Drive years ago. I am not sure whether that bakery still exists, but this bun bought back happy moments from my past. I normally don't like red bean filling in buns. I find them overly sweet and gross. The pineapple bun with this filling was yummy. I love pineapple buns. It's the top part that gets me. This bun was subtly sweet. I liked the red bean filling. Who knew? The coconut swirl roll was superb. I love coconut. I love a roll. Put bits of coconuts in the swirly part of a roll and I am a happy camper. It was so good. I want one now. As sad as it was to see Windsor go, as it has been a fixture at Denison Centre for years, Baker Duck quacks in nicely. I like it. I can't wait to return and try more goodies. (73) read more

The buns are very fluffy but oily rather than light. In my opinion, the buns did not live up to the hype. You pick what you want then bring your items to the cashier, like other Chinese bakeries. We came during lunch time, so there was a line up. read more

Popped by here because I was in the area and was very curious. I heard about the lineups so I was prepared to wait but was pleasantly surprised to see no lineup but it was 3:30 pm on a Friday. Selection was okay but many trays were empty already. This is not a big place so it will get crowded very quickly. Definitely some very interesting savoury and sweet bun options that you wouldn't see in other Chinese bakeries like the fried Australian M5 Wagyu Curry Beef Bun. Lots of the buns are made into sandwiches (with lettuce and tomato in some) so good option for a reasonable lunch if you worked in the area and don't mind the lineup. They have a pineapple bun with the butter already in the bun, your classic 'bolo yau'. Even though the quantity of the butter was less than you would expect it you ordered it at a HK diner, the quality of the bun itself was very good! I bought 10 buns and received 6 egg tarts for free (they were having a special). I would definitely be interested in a return trip. read more

Take a tray & tongs, grab your buns and than line up to pay. They restock quite frequently and have a extensive variety of both sweet and savoury options. Line ups are long but they are fast to cash out Buns are around $1.80 for basic up to about $6-$7 for lobster but I found it worth it Highly recommend this place, value, taste, presentation exceeds my asian bakery expectations PS: Buy 6 buns, save on tax The take cash and debit, not sure about card.

A great spot for unique takes on conventional Chinese bakery buns and pastries. They have things that include lobster tail buns, Montreal smoked meat buns, honey chicken and cheese buns, and more! Quality is really good and the portions are big for the price. You can get a whole pineapple bread loaf for less than the price of a much smaller pineapple bun at some other spots. Only caveat is that it can get extremely busy and chaotic, especially on weekends. Would advise you come on a weekday to avoid the huge lines. read more

Bit of a long line to get baked goods but a well worth option to pick up breads for my family. Got a sandwich, coffees, pineapple buns.

Definitely we will come back abd we highly recommend, staff is friendly and esger to help you. We loved the breads and the coffee is freshly made all the time as we had to wait a few moments for fresh coffee. read more

initially i saw how delicious the buns looked and really wanted to try them out. good prices, looked delicious. trays looked a little oily and not cleaned the greatest, but i thought no harm, right? except 3 hours after eating i could not stop vomiting all night and 4 days later i am still not recovered- quite moderate to severe food poisoning. i honestly question how hygienic this place is and i really normally never leave reviews on something. maybe pass this one. read more

I just wished I could say something little better about this place because it is not about the buns and baked goods, which are fantastic. I am strictly complaining about the mango pudding I have purchased today. If anybody buy a takeout pudding, common sense is to either wrap or put a lid on top of the pudding and not place it as is on the paper bag, but that's what happened today. Unfortunately the mango pudding that I was so looking forward to, was completely ruined and absolutely disgusting because it was all gushed out inside of the paper bag without any protective lids or wrap around it. Dear owner, if you are reading this, do world a favour and put a lid on your pudding and don't place it as is on a paper bag like you did today on my purchase. It was not eatable by the time I got home. read more

This place is very popular these days since they are selling the traditional HK cakes. I went a few times and they were sold out. And finally I was able to buy it on one early morning. Those cakes remind me of those I had when I was a child in HK. The taste is fine (not spectacular) and the price is good. I would recommend to anyone who misses the traditional tastes. read more

Buns were soft and good variety in the store. A nice combination of sweet and savoury items, with some classics and unique ones too. I ordered through the TooGoodToGo, and so for 3.99 I got 6 buns which was quite a good deal, like an end of day sale. Even then, the buns were still quite fluffy the next day. Subtle sweetness to the base, airy interior. Wouldn't mind coming back for their normal prices! read more

Baker Duck is a cute bakery that opened up in Denison Centre about a month ago. They sell a great selection of fresh breads and pastries. They also sell tiramisu cakes which come undecorated but which you can request in advance to be decorated for a celebration or holidays. Fresh milk pudding can be purchased in their refrigerated section. Also of note, Baker Duck sells delicious savoury onion and pork floss bread which has a lovely pillowy and buttery texture for a great price (less than $3, which can run you up to $9 at some popular GTA bakeries). Sandwiches (including AAA sirloin or egg salad) are made fresh daily. They also sell pineapple buns with a chunk of butter already included in their display cases! Prices are definitely reasonable! Will definitely come back to this place to try more of their breads and pastries. read more

Husband saw a lot of rave reviews about this place from tiktok and it did not disappoint. The only complaint I have is that they are so popular, depending on the time you get there, you can sometimes find no buns because the moment they come out of the oven, they are snatched. Given how expensive everything is nowadays, the buns here are pretty good value. We love the fried chicken bun the most! It is an elevated junior chicken. There is also so much variety so I look forward to trying a new bun every time. I read more

Definitely my new favourite spot to grab Chinese buns. The New Orleans fried chicken is like having a chicken karage sandwich on a soft Chinese bun. The bread is soft and fluffy, and everything is made so fresh and with a twist. Even the hot dog buns are slightly different than your average. I'm happy to pay a little more for buns because in my book, they're definitely a step up. Only problem is the hoards of people. You have lots of people waiting in line to cash out, but then you also have all these people standing in front of the buns with their full trays on top of the shelves. All they do is stand in the way and block people from getting through. They're literally just waiting there with someone else in line so that they don't have to hold the trays. The workers can't even restock because these lazy blocks are in the way. read more

Went on a Monday, I saw it on IG. The line up was about 10 people ahead of me and service was quick. But when I asked for a tray I felt kinda brushed off. Felt like a whatever feeling. When I saw other people asked for a tray, they wiped the trays and handed it to them. The food was good and cheap. The food I give it 3.5. I'll go back and hopefully have a better experience. The place also looked messy, did not look like the IG pics. read more

I have tried Baker Duck many times. I started going there before it became popular after social media promoted its old Hong Kong style butter cream cakes. I have tried their pineapple buns, savory breads, sandwiches and desserts. I have never been disappointed. I tried their butter cream cakes most recently in July and instantly brought back nostalgic memories of Hong Kong traditional bakeries. Many pastries are sold out very quickly throughout the day so time your visit right. read more

I am going to go with Great for this one. This bakery sure surprised me. I wasn't expecting much but just happened to be in the plaza getting BBQ meats and the line was long and then I looked over and there was a small line at this bakery so I hopped over to check out what they had in store. I went about 5 pm so half of the shelves were actually empty.. BUT, they were still baking and had trays of goodies just waiting to go out. Anyways I didn't wait around to see what trays would get filled but I grapped a green onion and pork floss bun and two hog dog and pork floss buns. I didn't see any pineapple buns out otherwise I would have grabbed a few of that as those are my go tos. Again, more than half of the displays were empty and so I am not sure what their usual variety of breads are, but one would assume it is the usual assortment in most HK bakeries. This isn't a fancy place and I didn't see any whole cakes on display so not sure if they have those. But this place seems to have all the typical buns you would find in traditional HK bakeries. Anyways in line to pay and I see one of the staff taking out these super fluffy looking buns so I asked what they were and she said curry beef so I also took one of those. They were still really hot! I love fresh buns so happy about that. I probably should have waited around because as I was paying, I got a peek at all the other buns still waiting to get shelved and they all looked so good! Anyways, for 4 buns, it was just under $10. Not bad. Then at home I decided to give the hotdog and pork floss bun a try. First thing I noticed was how soft and fluffy the bun was. I love it! It's not dense and it's even softer then the usual milk bun bread. The pork floss and the hot dog were abundant in the bread and the seasoning was great, loved it. Can't wait to try the other flavours. Anyways I'm giving this place a 5 purely based on taste of one bread, and the fact that soft pillowy bread seems to be baking all day and freshness wins me everytime. read more

Came across this bakery while going to another store, they sell a pretty good variety of baked goods at reasonable prices! I love pineapple buns, theirs includes butter - and were sadly all sold out when we got there. I was debating between tiramisu cake or the pistachio croissant, we ended up getting a cheese bun and pistachio croissant. The cheese bun was okay, would have probably been better if it was heated up a bit (so on me for that) but the croissant was so good! I would 100% come back to try other things from them, but earlier so I can grab a pineapple bun as it seems to be super popular! read more

They had lots of buns that you can eat as sandwiches and pull-out buns that have stuffing inside or on top. When we tried it later, it was really good! The buns were soft and fluffy. Definitely would go back there again. read more
