This is the place to go for old school HK bakery items that won't break the bank. True to the very…read morefaded price list out front, the prices remain reasonable. Counter service, in and out type of place. Displayed in standard bakery style cases are your HK bakery staples, some breads, and Western style baked goods. Place is big enough to fit a comfortable 6-7 people. No muss no fuss. Cash only & nothing to fault service on. They do package in brown paper bags only so i'd recommend bringing an old cake box or the like if you're planning to scoop up more than a few items as the bags do get oily from the butter/oils from the baked goods. Free parking on Hastings and some side streets. Food wise- only tried their pineapple bun & egg tart. It's $1 each, no tax. Both tastes fine. No major faults. Hope the pricing remains the same. I did wish that overwhelming baked goods smell would be present but maybe I didn't come early enough.

I haven't been to Kanadell in many years as it's quite far from me. I used to love it quite a lot…read more When I tried their breads recently, i was somewhat disappointed. Firstly, in today's economy, the prices have gone up; however, what I got wasn't really on par with the price tags. The melon pan had no filling in it which is the norm, however, i couldn't even taste hojicha. The "melon" part of the bread all fell off after one bite. I've not had a melon pan that was like this before. The beef curry pan was delicious but there was barely any filling in it. I remember there was more many years ago. It used to be one of my favorite items from Kanadell so it was definitely a disappointment. Lastly, the animal character with red bean filling inside, there was also barely any filling in it. The earl Grey shortbread cookies tasty but I found it a tad bit expensive because it was a small packaging .

Come here for baked goods but stay away from the cakes! I came here on a Saturday morning and…read moreordered some egg tarts, which looked like they were straight out of the oven. I also ordered 2 strips of Chinese doughnuts, but they gave me 4. I guess one order comes with 2, which makes sense since they're $2.50 each. My husband texted me to pick up some cakes, so I chose the coffee cake and Black Forest cake. After breakfast I was excited to try the coffee cake. When I dug in with my fork, the cake was hard. It tasted at least 2 or 3 days old. It's so gross that the bakery would sell old cake, I feel ripped off.

Lobster Fest is available at this location for $19 before tax and it comes with a lobster bisque…read more The freshness is decent but the lobster roll is slightly lacking in lobster taste... Good efficient service at this location and the biggest con of buying the lobster roll here would be there's no space for dining in. The options are limited to trekking to the food court upstairs in Richmond Centre, walking to your parked car and eat or heading home quickly in order to enjoy their lobster roll warm. I would recommend enjoying the lobster roll warm as it's more yummy and it's refreshing to add some lemon juice to the warm lobster roll. Ambiance at this location is typical of the Chinese bakeries in town. Grab a tray for convenience if you are buying more than 5 items and be patient if there's a line up. There isn't a specific pastry item or baked item that I usually buy from St Germaine besides the lobster roll because the overall taste of their buns are on the sweeter side and I mostly buy savory flavored buns or items like the sesame pastry. Their mango cakes seem to get a lot of compliments and the pineapple buns are quite popular. St Germaine is good at making Cantonese pastries with different variations. It's nice that they keep the menu interesting so one can often find something new to try.

You will not find prices as good as these from any other French style bakeries. For example, $32 for a 6 inch cake is an absolute steal. Their baked goods range from $2.75-$6.75, which is significantly more fair than many bakeries I've been to in Vancouver. They have a seamless online ordering system and cakes can be ordered for pick up ahead of time. They have many varieties of cakes and baked goods, but some of my favourites are the matcha filled croissant and matcha black sesame opera cake. There is also a chocolate vegan option cake which tastes amazing considering there's no dairy or eggs in it. Would highly recommend this place for value and quality.

It looks cool but tasted mediocre. It kind of dries out your mouth. It was chewy and not overly sweet but I wouldn't get it again. I also got the garlic croissant $2.99. It wasn't very crispy but it had a strong garlic flavour. It also didn't have a lot of layers but it was quite sweet. It was also quite large. Some of their goods are sold at Hmart if you are looking to try it. But avoid the two items that I have tried

We went…read moreto another Pine House Bakery but in Vancouver to look for the Chinese Cookies, also known as Phoenix Cookie or 鸡仔饼, but didn't have the taste I was looking for. I guess there might be different owners and chefs for each of these bakeries. There's different style and ways folks make the 鸡仔饼 but this specific location makes it super well vs others. The flavor is different, and I use this one to compare to others. They also have other pastries and goods like a pineapple bbq pork bun, pineapple custard bun, cakes, etc. This location is located inside Parker Place, and with lots of other small shops and restaurants. Lots of parking too.

*THIS REVIEW IS SOLEY FOR THEIR CHINESE COOKIES*…read more I only come here for one thing and one thing only: Chinese cookies. They reign supreme! I never had this type of cookie ever in my entire life. One of my sisters in law introduced it to me about maybe 13-14 years ago and we haven't stopped coming here ever since. It's a must try! I don't know what's in this magical cookie, but it's sweet and savory with hits of umami. It's definitely giving lap cheong essence and we're here for it. Yum! Wish I had some rn as I type up this review. Whoever reads this please go get some and enjoy it for me! *cries in seattle*

A couple great things about this place: service is amazing. you are served by the owner (I think?) as he's the only worker I have seen there. He makes every order fresh after you tell him what you want. He also doesn't ask you to pay until everything is ready. Honestly the type of place I would love to leave a tip, but when you pay, there isn't an option to and there is no tip jar. Very rare nowadays, so I went back multiple times as an alternative tons of variety in fillings. I tried the white bean, red bean with pine nuts, ang butter, vanilla custard, and matcha custard. They have a few more. all of them weren't overly sweet, some had slightly more sweetness than others. My personal favorites were the white bean paste and ang butter. great sweetness levels and very satisfying. If you like vanilla and matcha, they're pretty standard fillings for what you'd expect them to taste like. Still very good but not as special. Pretty good price. If you buy individual flavors in bulk, you get better unit economics. But, if you want to try different flavors, then it'll be a little bit more. The only thing I would say is because he makes them fresh for every order, you may have to wait 5-10 minutes. But, I'll take that for a hot and fresh hodugwaja. Strongly recommend for anyone visiting and in the area looking for a small bite
