The Yam buns were kind of tasteless. Im not sure why everyone raves about the. I love the apple cinnamon bun. It was so yummy! And the Angus beef bun. Those were my favorite buns from the ones I tried. The red bean one was pretty good too. But it got boring to eat real fast. I love SOHO because they still had buns even though I came later in the day. For that I will come back! I hate it when they run out of buns unless you wake up at 9AM. I like to sleep in! 4 stars **** read more

This is my first time to buy cake from them. I got a mango mosses cake, and taste so good. My wife loves it and the sweet is good enough and the moose is so smooth. Next time I will try other cakes from them. read more

SOHO Bakery & Desserts - Desserts Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We dropped into SOHO bakery, the new location at Sheppard and Kennedy (opened a week ago). We were not disappointed. There was limited selection as the items were fresh from the oven, it was relatively early at 1000 hrs. Great value for portion and product. The service was friendly and courteous. This location is clean and has a few tables available to enjoy on site. I only wished for the baked goods to be placed in a box versus little bags. I would definitely recommend this place for fresh Asian baked goods at a great price point. read more

Wonderful egg tarts! I bought a strawberry shortcake for my friend's birthday last month, it was wonderful! Their products are not too sweet and it smells wonderful when you are in there. read more

It's ok place to grab some chiense buns if you are in the area. I'm not a huge fan of the yam buns that others like. It's literally just bread and yam as two separate things shoved together. Other times are ok; typical chinese buns read more

I heard about their high quality buns so I came to try it on a Sunday afternoon. I got their durian bun which costs $1.80, pineapple bun $1.30, butter milk bun $1.50, crispy napolean bun $1.80, and sweet potato bun (forgot their price), and crispy coconut bun $1.80. The durian bun was so fresh, the bun had a good texture and there was an abundance of durian filling. For some the durian filling might not be strong enough, but for me I think it was a great balance of sweetness and bun. I liked how the filling wasnt overly sweet. The sweet potato bun had an entire sweet potato inside. The bun was good, but they had cocoa powder on the bun so it was quite bitter. I would have preferred just the sweet potato without the bitterness. My dad said the milk cream bun was good, but the bun wasnt as fresh as the other bun. The cream was perfectly sweet for him. The other buns were also good. The staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is quite clean and organized. Parking can be limited due to lack of spots. I would definitely come back to try their cakes especially the chestnut ones. It looked so good. If you buy 6 buns, your buns become tax free. read more

See all

SOHO Bakery is located in a strip plaza along with a Hong Kong style restaurant making parking a real trouble around noon. The ambience is certainly more upscale, like lucullus downtown or lucullus downtown Markham location. The buns are in this amazing contraption where you lift the lid and the tray holding the buns will slide out. I would say the the higher price is justified by the amazing taste and the unique variety of buns that they offer. As for my favourite, it would certainly be the freshly baked Almond croissant which is a must try! read more

SOHO Bakery & Desserts - Desserts Near Me - Markham, Ontario

So happy to finally have a great bakery near me. I stumbled upon SOHO bakery & desserts when i went to the plaza for takeout. This place has a great selection of buns and pastries such as sausage bun, pineapple bun, raisin bun and bbq pork bun. I also like their taro bun, french croissant and egg tarts. My sister also got their chestnut cake for a party, and everyone said it tasted very fresh and said it was delicious. I will definitely be coming here now for pastries and getting buns for breakfast. read more

**I actually rate them 0 stars. Giving them 3 so it doesn't get disturbed The people there are very dishonest. They've charged me and others I know multiple times with a 40% extra price tag. When you tell them you've calculated the price wrong, they just say 'oh ok' and then charge you the actual price They purposefully calculate a wrong price tag in hopes to you don't notice so they could shamefully steal your money for their own personal gain. Stay away from this bakery of scammers. read more

Had a bad experience one time. One day I came near the end of the day and there was a woman customer being aggressive trying to grab some pastries before they were gone read more

Omg I love their mango crunch cake! Price is very reasonable too. Service is pretty good as well.

Finally an upscale Chinese bakery with desserts open close to home. No need to travel all the way to Lucullus for some decent bakery anymore. Can't stand the tasteless breads and desserts from T&T. Lots of Yummy Cantonese style buns and a variety of Japanese and Western style desserts/cakes to choose from. Will be back for sure. Hope they will keep up with the good work. Highly recommend their egg tarts. read more

When you are ordering something, normally you'd expect at least a simple response like "sure", "ok", but Boris will not smile nor respond a single word, he would just take the order and hand it to you. When you are given what you ordered, normally you'd expect a response like, "here's your order" or "that'd be $10", but Boris will remain silent, without a smile and wait for the payment. When you don't react, he'd point to the cashier display to let you know the amount due. After you paid, normally you'd expect a response like, "thank you", but Boris will just take your money, without a smile, and walk away. Very special and unique customer service. Will never come back. read more

Dropped by on a weekend morning to pick up some buns. There were a variety available and all the buns I bought were fresh and very soft. The buns were a tad pricier than the typical Chinese bakery but then the place was also much cleaner, brightly lit, and nicer than the typical Chinese bakery. There is even a nice little seating area inside for you to sit down and enjoy your buns. I thought the buns, however, tasted normal and weren't all that special. This is overall not a bad place for buns but it's not somewhere I would go out of my way for. read more

I am very impressed with Soho. The best buns (especially the red bean pineapple bun) and milk tea I have ever had. The recognition that Soho's beverages have gained are nothing short of well-deserved. Owner is exceptional; I applaud him for his dedication and work ethic in running such remarkable bakeries. Food is yummy and well-priced, service is great, staff are very friendly, and locations are convenient - I couldn't ask for more. Soho has my recommendation and is absolutely a must-try :) read more

Came for a cold milk tea, half sweet. Perfect.

Excellent buns. The mochis are fantastic - varying flavours. I must say the coconut buns are my fav. Reasonable price for top quality. Would buy again. read more

Dropped by on a Sunday afternoon. I have had egg tarts from this place before so I decided to get some myself. The shelf for egg tarts looked empty but there were a couple of boxes at the back, so I picked one up and lined up to pay. Then one of the employees came to tell me that those are reserved (nowhere on the box said reserved). I have no problem with having to call ahead to buy egg tarts, however what mad me uncomfortable was that employee's attitude. Not only that he talked to us so quietly that we had to ask him to repeat twice, but also he sounded like he thought we were idiots that we didn't know those tarts are reserved. He could have at least said it nicely. Though everything else in the store looked very good, we left without buying anything. Their employees should learn how to talk to customers properly. read more

Visited here on a weekday morning. When I arrived at around 10:30am the breads were still coming out from the open and the egg tarts weren't available yet. I tried their green tea Japanese sponge cake, mini mango swiss roll, mini coffee swiss roll and their Napoleon. The sponge cake was very soft and had a mild green tea flavor. The swiss rolls were light and well flavored. The filling in the mango swiss roll was a jam rather than cream which was yummy. The mini size is great for a single person serving. Of all the items I've tried the Napoleon was the most exceptional. The puff pastry was flaky and not overly buttery and the inside walnut sponge filling has a great nutty flavor. All the items I've tried were not overly sweet and had a nice balance. Prices seem fair for a Chinese bakery in Markham. read more

If you like HK Style bakery, this is one of the best I found in Markham. Although there are tons of these types of bakery in the East End, most of them are low quality, more focused on selling more for less. As well, they offer the same typical Pineapple Bun, Coconut Bun, BBQ pork Bun, etc. But this place puts a spin on their baked goods and everything is visually appealing. They have a Yam Bun with a big piece of yam in it. They have all the typical buns such as Coconut, Raisin, Pineapple but they offer more, such as Cinnamon Apple Bun. They also won an HK Style Tea competition. It is very clean. The service is helpful and friendly which sadly to say isn't the case in most of these types of establishments. They also have a few small tables if you want to snack on site. Bottom line, if you enjoy HK Style baked goods, similar to the ones in HK these days, it's worth your while to check this place out. read more

Went there at around 8:20pm and the guy said the shop is closed but the opening hour is 9am-9pm...There are still many breads and cakes left over. Very nice and VERY Disappointed of their service. Went there for nothing. read more

the worst experience at a bakery i've had. my family and myself went there for three egg tarts, and a middle aged man told us that they didn't have any at the moment, and they would reserve three for us. we asked if we should pay first, and come to collect them in half an hour, but he said that there was no need for that, and we can just pay when we come back to get them. so we intentionally went to the nearby t & t to spend that half an hour before going back. after we went back, the so-called manager said that they didn't have any. he then proceeded to say that 'our policy is that you have to pay in order to reserve one', when clearly, the older man said that it was unnecessary. as we were talking to the manager, the old guy that we talked to earlier simply hid in the kitchen area, and refused to come out to even apologize. i wonder what the manager's job is, if he can't even manage his own staff and make sure they run the shop by the same rules that he thinks exist. never going back again. this experience outweighs whatever better taste they offer in their products than any other bakery. if i could give them 0 stars, i would. read more
