Really enjoy working with Vava! I've never walked in for their stuff but ordering custom cakes is such a breeze here. They have a gallery online that you can choose from or you can send inspiration photos of what you're looking for via Whatsapp. They made the process so easy and really brought my vision to life. :) One thing I really liked is that the cakes here are not too sweet. They're also soft and fluffy - the perfect texture. For custom cakes, it's a pretty decent price point! Pick up is always quick and easy. Highly recommend! read more

I was looking for a cake that wasn't going to be too sweet and came across Vava designer cakes in my search! I didn't have an order placed in advance so I walked in with my fingers crossed at ~2:30 pm on a Sunday. I was super lucky they had a few cakes left for walk-ins and chose the Taro Mochi Pork Floss Chiffon cake. It was on the pricier end ($60) but once we ate it.. honestly, one of the best cakes I think I've had in a while. It was so incredibly light, truly "not too sweet" and the mochi was so tasty! Such a unique combo, I don't think I've ever had one like it. My parents, who are really not fans of desserts, thought this cake was delicious. The shop front is small but honestly, served its purpose and the ladies working there were both very nice and quick! I noticed they had a number of cake orders so I'd recommend placing one in advance (not winging it like me) and their cupcakes looked delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try their strawberry chiffon - that caught my eye and wasn't available when I went! read more

If you want a cake that is "not too sweet" this is the place to go. Tried their taro mochi cake and it was delightful - light and fluffy, not too sweet. I have tried a lot of cake places and this is the least sweet cake I have ever tried (while still tasting delicious). read more

I've gotten their six pack of cupcakes a few times by walk-in without preorder and its been pretty convenient. You don't get to pick the flavours though as they are prepacked, but then you can try a variety. Their cakes are not too sweet and are very fluffy. I've also tried their full cakes on other occassions and their taro mochi cake seems to be very popular. read more

I ordered 8" Mr. Right Oreo Cake for pre-birthday celebration for my husband with friends, decorations of the cake feature my husband's 3 vehicles. I ordered directly with the Richmond Hill branch rather than the CS hotline, Phoebe Cheung was excellent, she was amicable, polite and friendly. I paid $135 for this cake and didn't expect all decorations on top were only paper cut notes and logos, I was expecting something more sophisticated like fondant, otherwise just the cost of the sponge cake as $135 is too pricey! Nonetheless the cake was delivered in a transparent beautiful box and my husband and friends like the cake as it's light, fluffy, tasty and not overly sweet. I've previously tried their cakes and they are really tasty and they offer tailor-made cakes for special events. Although a bit expensive, I'll order for special event again. read more

It's a smaller location compared to their North York store, so the options for premade cakes are limited, but you can always pre-order all of their cakes. Parking is much better though since it's located at a decent size plaza. I got their December 2022 limited-time special Mochanut cake and it was incredible! It's a multi-layer chiffon cake made with mocha hazelnut cream, and topped with roasted hazelnuts, blueberries, and gingerbread. The cake is also super cute as well, totally IG worthy. We totally could smell its fragrance upon opening the box and the cake was so soft and fluffy. I like that the cream isn't overly dense and sweet and you can totally taste the mocha and hazelnut flavours. It's so good we devoured the whole cake in a day! 10/10 would recommend read more

You should order in advance if you want a specific cake with customizations. I ordered a strawberry chiffon cake for my sister in law's birthday through WeChat, where I had to fill in a google form and confirm pickup date and time. They have other cake options other than the ones on the website so doesn't hurt to ask. Customer service was super friendly and helpful. The cake was super light and creamy, with lots of strawberries. I'm looking forward to trying some of their seasonal cakes next time. read more

I got their mango taro pandan chiffon cake with coconut cream and it was delicious! The pandan chiffon cake is extremely light, and it is layered with coconut cream, real taro and mango. The flavours are all really subtle and come together very nicely. The cake also came with 2 candles. I called a week prior to order the cake and was told that a preorder wasnt needed and they have cakes ready day of for walk in customers. However, when we called again a few days later to confirm, someone else picked up and we were told we needed to preorder and we couldnt pickup at the time we wanted. We ended up getting the cake for the day and time we wanted after a small hiccup, but its something to be aware of. read more

I ordered a taro mochi cake a few days ahead, and about 30 minutes prior to picking it up, they told me to made a mistake and didn't have any left. They offered a yogurt mixed berry cake instead, and gave me $10 off for the trouble. I appreciated their effort and thought, but we weren't really a huge fan of the yogurt cake. The cake it meant to be sweet and sour, but tasted more sour than sweet. I do like "Asian not too sweet" cakes but this could definitely be a tad more sweet. There's also cereal inside the cake which was soggy and wasn't a fan of that. I do like how the chiffon tasted really fresh and soft. I want to try their taro mochi but they don't sell the smaller 4" version at this location. read more

Ordered recently a beautifully designed cake for my daughter's bday.Their specialty is in Chiffon cakes. A chiffon cake is a very light fluffy cake. There are a variety of cake fillings such as mango, strawberry and caramel. We got the Angel's Love Letter cake which was so pretty, tasty and a bit pricey for $150 but we got really beautiful bday photos so it was worth it! Most of their basic chiffon cakes (4" or 6") aren't that expensive ranging from $25 to $55. Since this was my first time, I don't have a favourite filling flavour yet but the mango filling that we got was pretty good. I've read other reviews and it looks like the Taro Mochi is a popular one so I will definitely be back to try this one. read more

This is my go to place to order cakes for all my occasions! I love their chiffon cakes. They are light, fluffy and not too sweet. They have a bit of cream, but nothing overpowering. With a 6 inch cake, I always end up finishing this amongst 6 people. It's perfect! The price is on the higher side but comparable to other cake stores. I do wish they had more regular chiffon cake selection, as most of the unique flavours are only there for a limited time. The service is pretty quick and friendly. You just have to submit a form through WeChat and pay when you arrive. The store isn't much of a place where you can pick and choose, but a pick up cake place. Overall, a must try cake restaurant! read more

Always order cake from this place. Specially cup cake for my daughter. She likes their Oreo cupcake as always. The service the good. Only thing this location is very small. read more

I bought a mini layered chiffon cake set when they had their 2 day 50% off promotion. The staff handed out numbered tickets since there was only 45 of the cake sets available for this promotion. This is a much better system than customers lining up to wait and getting to the shop to find out if there were anymore cake sets available. One customer was allowed into the shop at a time to adhere to physical distancing since the shop is so small. There's a display case at the front of the shop and a counter on the wall but not much else. Only cash or debit was accepted. The transaction was quick since all the cake sets were already prepared. The cake set was well packaged with a handle to carry the box and had individual slots for the cakes so that they wouldn't move around during transportation. The mini cakes were layered with cake, cream, and fruit/cookie chunks, chocolate or whatever the flavour was. The flavours were strawberry chocolate crunch, Oreo sprinkles, taro mochi, mango chunks, chocolate crunch and caramel sea salt. I found the taste to be on the bland side. I don't like overly sweet things and this fell into the not sweet at all category. The cakes were airy and light and even though I'm not usually a fan of cream I liked the cream on these. read more

I order my cakes with Vava every time! Ever since my 1st order with them that was conveniently placed via text, I've always returned for all my family's special occasions. Their packaging is on point, presentable, well thought out & even comes with cute cutlery/plates! Their chiffon based cake is always fluffy, soft, made fresh, and never too sweet. Everyone always enjoys it every time. I was extremely pleased with the most recent order that I placed last minute yesterday late afternoon & got to pick up the next day early afternoon. (It was also a custom design cake order too!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Fair pricing, high quality, tastes great, and extremely convenient to order with quick & friendly communication. read more

I've recently purchased a 6 inch taro mochi chiffon cake at the Richmond Hill location on February 5, 2022. I've called and reserved the cake in advance. Overall, staff were friendly and helpful when taking my order. The main concern was the actual cake, it was totally disgusting. I've never tasted such terrible cake in my life. Another problem is when you peeled off that plastic wrap from the cake, it slanted. Presentation is not the main issues but the taste of the cake was absolutely horrible, we couldn't even eat it after one bite and had to put the whole cake to waste. We were very disappointed as it was a celebratory night. This was such an awful experience. Definitely not going to buy from this place ever again! Even the cakes from a normal supermarket like T&T would taste better than this one! read more

Venturing to try a new dessert place, and we found VaVa. They had large cakes, sets of 6 cakes and fairly small Chiffon Cakes in the display case. The Chiffon cake came I either the original flavor or strawberry flavor, and it was light with a creamy filling. A bit pricey at $14, but worth trying! read more

This is our second time ordering from vava. The first time we got the smallest cake with cream cheese, sea salt and caremal. This time we got a cupcake tray. The cup cake are layered (not the conventional cupcakes) and it'd be good to eat with a fork/spoon. We didn't know that, so it was a bit hard trying to get it out. If they include some utensils that'd be great. Otherwise their cakes are soft fresh not too sweet, we love them and would go back again! read more

Cupcakes were not bad. The taro was the best flavour by far; we loved the difference in texture with the mochi. Some of the other flavours fell a little flat, especially given the textures were all the same: soft. read more

Super Duper delicious cakes! Love the strawberry cake！#1 in Toronto for sure. Friendly staff always wearing a big smile! read more

I picked up their assorted cupcake set a while back and they were amazing. I really liked how they weren't very sweet. It was very nicely packaged and each flavour lived up to my expectations. The cream was fresh and the cake was perfectly moist. The most unique flavour would have to be taro pork floss cupcake. This seems to be a popular flavour pairing at Asian bakeries lately and I believe they sell the whole cake version of this. I'll definitely be back! read more
