The store is a little hidden, but it's within the inner stripes of the midland plaza! :)…read more As it's not in the main stripe, there are plenty of free parking outside this store. Their chiffon box cakes are great value! We order the durian chiffon box cake (20$) and it was generous packed with durian! We also order their durian crepe cake (50$) , which I am excited to try later!

Let me start this by saying that this place totally exceeded all my expectations. I actually had…read morevery low expectations to be honest, but ultimately I am already talking with my other half about when we can come back and try more of their offerings as we just really liked their cakes. So bit of background, its my other halfs birthday and she had a craving for a mielle cake. I jumped on google, searched around and found Sweet Planet. Reviews seemed mixed, but I never let that deter me from giving a place a chance. Their website is clean and simple, with an online ordering system. To be honest I found their website to be a bit sketchy and I wasnt sure if it was legit! So I called the place and spoke to someone to confirm that they would be able to make the cake in the time frame I needed. When I called the person just said hello, answered my question very briefly and we hung up. It was a very "matter of fact" conversation, no pleasantries or friendliness. About as neutral as you can get. Getting here, we had to drive around the entire building as there is actually two cake places both starting with SWEET. I think the first one I saw was sweet CHASE, but I was looking for sweet PLANET. Store front had some colorful window coverings and a simple "open" sign. Opening the door you immediately are facing a register and a big white wall behind. I heard someone yell out "HELLO" from the back and we started our conversation from there with an order number. I was in and out in 2 minutes, again no pleasantries - Just fast and efficient. Now the cake - Delicious is probably the most appropriate word. The cake came in a plain white box, and wasnt exactly instagram worthy in appearance but it was acceptable. So all this combined, my expectations were low but I am always hopeful to discover hidden gems. This was a hidden gem. We got a strawberry mielle crepe cake - The strawberries tasted nice and fresh au naturel. There was no weird sugary glazing on top, just plain old sweet strawberries. Through out the cake there was also diced strawberries. The crepe was super melt in your mouth thin. The star of the show was all that fresh hand whipped cream goodness! You could definitely tell the cream was freshly hand whipped, light, fluffy and not overly sugary with a very clean tasty finish. I have had other cakes where it leaves a bit of a after taste where you need to wash it down with some water or something, but this was just plain tasty. If I had a friend that was a pastry chef and I asked for a mielle cake - This is what I would picture getting. Well done and tasty with no frills. Bottom line, we will be back and I have no problems recommending this place. It definitely gets the job done :)

A Chinese bakery in the Bridlewood Mall, and is situated on the main level, close to the escalator…read morewhich leads down to the food court which is on the lower level. We were there on Boxing Day at about 10:15am. There was a limited selection of savoury and meat filled Chinese buns at that hour. Baked Char Sui bao, Cheese, Ham, Sausage buns. The fresh cream bun was added at this time. If you wanted Taro or Custard filled buns or Egg Tarts, there were none on the shelves. There was a posted board outside the bakery offering "buy 6, no tax and receive one egg tart". I bought six buns and received a small HK milk tea, which was fine instead of an egg tart. The buns filling and dough texture was so-so imo, when I compare it to buns available at Markham Chinese bakeries. However, it filled our need while we lined up at another store on the day.

I was there overhearing that they will be having their grand opening soon. You can find your classic buns here like sausage bun, pineapple bun and char siu bun. But they also have specialty buns like fried chicken sandwiches, garlic cheese sausage buns and more. Buns are fairly priced here as well in my opinion with fried chicken sandwiches being less than $4. They also sell whole cakes and slices of cakes which looks really good. Interior of the bakery is beautiful and newly renovated. It's brightly lit and super clean inside. The one cashier cashing me out was friendly and chatty which I enjoyed. Telling me that VIP cards will be available once grand opening happens, but didn't know the exact date of their grand opening yet. Make sure to check out these affordable and tasty buns!

Tucked away in the corner of J-Town, Yuzu no Ki is a no frills, aesthetic bakery and cafe. I ordered their Strawberry & Lychee cake online for pickup ahead of time. I was in and out within minutes - exactly what I like. There were also a lot of people sat down for a Sunday at 4:30pm. The cake itself was delicious. It didn't look like the image online when I ordered - it was actually much more beautiful in person. It was a hit with my Asian grandma and family, including the kids - so you know it's good. You could really taste the strawberry and lychee flavours. The jelly strawberry layer was still frozen when we cut into it a few hours later (stored in the fridge) but it was still very good. Will definitely be ordering again!

Their main location is in Mississauga, and they expanded to North York a few years ago. Service is nice and cheerful, making you feel quite welcome. I like their drink selection that has some interesting things like black sesame latte, tiramisu latte, and grapefruit tea. Their dessert select is good too, with things big and small. Their rolls and cakes are excellent, with plenty of cream, not too sweet. The cakes are beautifully glazed and decorated. The sweet potato cake is fluffy and light. The mont blanc has a nice chestnutty flavour, but is a bit too sweet for my liking. At the moment, they are selling Korean dubai chewy cookies, but we'll see how long this fad lasts...

Staff were very friendly and keep giving out samples :) Plus, the portion and flavour were very satisfying especially considering the price (very affordable!)

TLDR: Good, a bit pricey, would go again for the classic pineapple bun…read more TIP: I believe they're debit or cash only. Debit is also only for $25+ purchases. Xuan Bakery has been on my list since they've opened and I finally had the chance to take a peek inside! It's your classic Chinese bakery, so nothing special there - you just take the tray and tongs at the far end and make your way to the register. The spacing can be done a little better - you can't really have more than 2-3 people looking and getting buns at the same time. SELECTION: There wasn't a lot of variety, but with the selection they do have, it was pretty unique. They have two different types of Pineapple Buns (bo lo bao): the classic and a Taiwanese version (which looks like Japanese melon buns). They also have several different sausage buns, including one with cheese and another with pork floss. These also look a bit different, it's not encased in the bun, but it's more of a hotdog kind of look. They also offer cakes and free samples of their cakes, which look and taste like your typical Chinese bakery cakes (not my preferred taste). They seem to really want to upsell their cakes (the lady kinda tried pressuring me to try and buy). PRICE: The prices were on the higher end. You're looking at about $4-6 per bun. They also have a 'lucky draw' going on right now if your subtotal is more than $25, but my draw required a minimum purchase of $35 lol (for a free slice of cake). FAV: The classic pineapple bun. The top was SO crispy yet the bottom was SO soft. I would go back just for this by itself. There was a lady ahead of me who ONLY bought the pineapple buns. She knows what's up.

That's really full of layers. The decorations were also holiday themed. We added a chocolate signature to say Happy birthday to father.

Tip: This bakery has made-to-order hot and iced teas…read more Last Sunday, I was at CF Fairview for lunch with a couple of friends. I was walking over to Hana Don and noticed this Lucullus Bakery on the other side of the mall entrance from where I'd be having lunch. I love Lucullus. My first visit was at its Yonge Street location, just south of Finch Avenue West. I recently visited its downtown Markham location and loved it. After lunch, my friends and I parted ways. They went home. I headed to this bakery to check it out. You enter the bakery using the mall entrance. There is seating inside this bakery. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon at around 3 pm. I grabbed a wooden tray and tongs. I looked at what felt like an endless lineup of baked goods. Thank goodness I was full from lunch. I would have bought a ton more if I were hungry! My haul consisted of these items: - Double chocolate croissant - Fried curry beef bao - BBQ pork bao - Curry beef puff - Egg and cucumber sandwich - Cheese dog - Large iced lemon tea The other two Lucullus locations have tea drinks that you grab out of the fridge. This one makes hot and cold teas on the spot. Two male staffers were behind the counter. One took my iced lemon tea and asked how I liked it. I said without sugar. I wanted the large size because I needed a drink to get me home. He put my baked goods in individual bags and sealed them. He then put all goods in a plastic bag. The other male staffer went to make my drink. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and got my receipt texted to me. I waited patiently for my drink. I thanked the man who made it for me. I had this drink when I got in my car. It was perfectly cold. I loved the lemon slices and lemon flavour with the tea. It was excellent! My baked goods last a couple of days. They were delicious. The egg and cucumber sandwich was yummy. Think egg salad, but simplified with mayo and cucumber slices. Sometimes, simple is all you need. The bun was soft and yummy. I loved the curry beef puff. It's so flaky with the best curry puff filling. I've had the chocolate croissant. It's amazing with dark chocolate inside a buttery croissant. The double chocolate croissant is an extension of it. This kicked-up-a-notch version has dark chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar on top. It didn't taste overly sugary with the latter on it. The dark chocolate drizzle was fun to eat. It had hardened such that you could take a piece off and eat it. I love a good cheese dog bun. This one was cheesy and yummy. I went through a phase making them at home. I don't think mine compares to how amazing this one. It had hot dogs and cheese baked a flatbread wannabe, but still fluffy like a bao. I crave another one. The BBQ bao was hefty. It had so much filling in it. There was more BBQ pork goodness than the bao holding it all together. If you love protein, this bao gives you the best bang for your money. Yummy! The biggest surprise was the fried curry beef bao. It had the same amazing filling as the curry beef puff. What I didn't expect was enjoying a hard-boiled egg in it. What?! It was brilliant and so tasty. Parking was a bit crazy. I parked by the shuttered Hudson's Bay store. I"m hoping that it's much better during the weekday. I want more. I need to return soon. (188)

Paris Baguette is my go‑to spot in the area for consistently solid baked goods and sliced cakes…read more Their loyalty program is a nice perk too -- they run specials often enough that it actually feels worthwhile. The coffee here is good, but I tend to skip most of the sugary drinks since they're a bit too sweet, especially when paired with an already sweet pastry. If you like your beverages on the lighter side, stick to the basics. Weekends can get very busy. If you're hoping to grab a seat and enjoy your treats in‑house, it's best to avoid peak times. Otherwise, it's a reliable stop for takeout pastries, cakes, and a quick caffeine fix.

Revisited here after about a year. It's still a good place for coffee and treats…read more Greek Coffee has a thick texture with a good coffee aroma. It would be good to ask for less sugar to avoid masking up the fantastic coffee flavor. It's still not bad after all. Loukoumades here are like gems. A thin crust of lightly hardened sugar encases the soft texture with syrup inside. Top it up with cinnamon powder. Beautifully made. While Loukoumades or similar clones can commonly found in quite a lot of places these days, good quality ones are available daily at the Athens Pastries. Cozy environment. Come here for a coffee break if you are in the neighbourhood! Recommended.
