Anna's Cake House has been a family tradition since I was in elementary school when they only had one shop on Broadway and Fraser! 43+ years later they still have the classics - coffee cake and mango strawberry mousse and egg tarts to die for! read more

This little cake shop had a great variety of delicacies and highly recommended to give it a try. The cheese tart and the egg tart were full of flavour and melted when chewed. read more

When we approached the bakery, the servers went to the back. It was odd because you want to greet and be ready to serve customers when they arrive. Then they came back out when we were looking at the items in the fridge. The masked server told us that if we buy over $20 we would get the discount (it was after 6pm) while she already gave us the discount. We could not hear her and so we asked her if we got a discount. Then she sneered with her eyes and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? I said you got a discount." We were shocked because that was not what we heard (otherwise we would not ask). She embarrassed us while it was her fault that she did not speak clearly and misled us (she should just tell us the total after the discount). Also, when I asked her which bread is the coffee loaf, she just said, "The brown one" without getting it for me. The service was horrible. P.S. Anna's Cake House usually have discounts when they are near closing. When we went to the one in Richmond, the servers there never said anything about the discount; they gave us the discount automatically during those hours and simply told us the total when we paid. So the servers at Lougheed can act similarly rather than confuse customers and embarrass customers. read more

I was in the store at 4:55 looking for coconut bun. The old sales woman there didnot mention they have 20% off after 5pm. I got 7 buns and paid with my Visa. I was still in the store after 5pm, and asked any discount for my 7 buns? She said because she already processed the sales and she can not give my the 20% discount back. She won't redo the sales as many others do for their customers. This old lady is not helping and look after customer's interest, only wants your money! She is not helping Anna's business brcause I will not buy there again! The bun is at the end of the day and they are not fresh, that's is why they have 20% dicount after 5pm. read more

The buns are not fresh. Unlike the other competitors, the buns are cold and taste awful. I would not recommend to anyone.

Not fresh. Avoid weekdays. I had been a life long customer of Anna Cake House for over thirty years. Of late I tried their Lougheed Mall location for numerous times eating the same product Walnut Napoleon and find the quality is sub par during weekdays perhaps due to lack of volume. The nuts were soggy and tasted rancid, the pastry cream deflated and the pastry layers were no longer flaky. On weekend the cakes were fresh and delicious as always. For walk in, always ask if the product in particular is made fresh that day or just go in on the weekend to avoid disappointment while paying full price. read more

They get really busy at noon to the afternoon time. Order first via phone! Their cakes are spongey and soft, and delicious! It gets pretty packed inside because it's such a small store, but all your childhood goodies are inside! read more

Anna's Cake House - the entrance to the store - Desserts Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

ANNA'S CAKE HOUSE- 9855 Austin road, burnaby, bc (lougheed mall) I don't usually spend a vast amount of time meandering the corridors of this mall on a regular basis, but I went there to get some spray dye paint for my work boots from Ralph's shoe service Co Ltd on the lower floor. Lougheed mall straddles the coquitlam/burnaby border on north road and is easily accessible by skytrain, by bus or by car. I had been wandering about checking off a few boxes off my endless to do list and ended up in front of Anna's between walmart and the food court when a faint light bulb began flickering through all the clutter in the back of my brain. It occurred to me that a friend of mine that I had not seen in a while but still cared about had a birthday rapidly approaching and that perhaps a cake might be in order for her...so I waltzed in and paid my $30 for a mango fruit filled cake. In spite of it being kind of latish in the morning (1030 am), the staff informed me that it would be ready at 100 pm-fairly quick. Now normally, I would prefer to make a chocolate devil's food, lemon or other fruit filled cake from scratch to celebrate an occasion for a special friend or family member as I do on a fairly regular basis, but hey, sometimes the to do list in front of you is wee bit more overwhelming than the available time left remaining in a given day. What can you do...? Later on, when I picked up her birthday cake, the staff presented it in an attractive, but sturdy box and even offered free candles to adorn it with...It certainly looked delicious and would go well with the some orange coral tinged flowers in a bouquet I would try and attempt to put together from the garden. In the end, I failed to be able to pull off one of my usual surprise drop off maneuvers at her home or work as a simple reminder to her ( as I'm sure her far closer friends and family members do all the time) that this world became a far better place the moment she was born into it and every year since then...So, it was kind of a bummer, but at least I did remember about her special day in spite of my typically male forgetful brain, and did make an effort to get something nice and simple, but not over the top to commemorate her birthday. Hopefully, I'll have better luck next year...PS I will somewhat guiltily admit that the mango fruit cake was yummy! read more

The lady gave me a BBQ pork bun instead of a custard bun how annoying I only asked for one item and she couldn't even get that right had to throw it out cause I am not eating meat. They didn't have any egg tarts which was ridiculous. Their layout is not very good from a store point of view people cant see all the delicious cakes cause the store is long and the display is long and far from the front. read more

Anna cakes started in Hong Kong in the 1960s and we liked their Chestnut cake so much that we looked them up in Vancouver on Kingsway in the 1970s. They have since opened 4 more locations in Vancouver. It is one of the best if not THE best Chinese made pastry shops anywhere. We bought their Chestnut cake yesterday and still marvelled at it without reservation. A 6 inches round cake sets you back $29.99 but since we don't spoil ourselves every day, well..... One suggestion for them would be to add a bit of apricot brandy to the Chestnut puree. That would make the cake supreme beyond words. read more

Went here to buy some pastries and cakes. The cakes were dry and stale, not good. The buns were average at best, will not come back.

They don't have the amount of stock in comparison to T&T's or Maxim's Bakery. But the stuff they do have is of good quality. Their chocolate cake is good. Dan dat is my favourite! Sometimes I'll come here to get baos to reheat for breakfast. Service at Anna's is fast but polite. That's always hit and miss with HK places - more often miss. I'd be a fatass if I worked near here. I could eat their dan dats all day. If I were loaded like Oprah and just thought of dumb stuff to do with my money, and hosted a talk show for a living, I'd have their dan dats flown in to me wherever I was living at the time. read more

I come here all the time to get various buns and cakes. There's really nothing here I don't like to eat. I especially like their cakes. Chinese-style cakes aren't sickeningly sweet like their North American counterparts. It's more French-inspired so the sweetness level is toned down so you can taste the other ingredients. BBQ Pork Buns (and really all of them) are always fresh and tasty. Good balance between meat and bun. Warning: Come early if you want to get any buns. They tend to run out quickly. read more

Stopped in just before close after picking up a package at the mall. We grabbed a Pineapple Bun, Cream Puff, and bag of Walnut Cookies. The Pineapple bun was great - really soft and not too sweet like a few I've had in the past. The cream puff was exactly how I'd expect - great texture, cream was full and not oily. Husbando ate almost all of the Walnut Cookies in one sitting so I am guessing they were good, but I didn't get a chance to steal one! Lady behind the counter had been outside the shop when we walked up, but she went back in to help us. Very friendly and offered us a bag so that we weren't fumbling with the treats and the package. read more

About the bread - soft, chewy, great density, and very tasty. A solid 4 in my books Service - Maybe a 2.5, I'm actually quite a fan of the other Anna's Cake Houses and the food here is quite good, but the staff here are a little pushy for my liking. Not totally rude, but not friendly either. read more

I've been going to Anna's Cake House since it was on North Road (before they moved into the mall). I recently had a horrible experience with one of the staff. There's a young girl with a ponytail who is super disengaged. Normally, this wouldn't bother me, as I just order what I want and go on my way. However, she got my order wrong (I asked for egg and ham buns and she gave me egg tarts). I told her I didn't want egg tarts. This isn't even that big a deal. She just has to correct the situation. However, she decided to take up a condescending tone and tell me that I asked for egg tarts (which I know I didn't, because we don't eat egg tarts in my house. there were only two types of buns left that day, and so I read the sign in the case to her since I usually don't get egg buns). She puts the egg tarts away and goes on about how if I buy 6 items, it's no tax. I'm not about to buy things I don't need so I said I'm okay with paying tax. She (in her condescending tone and with too much attitude) says, "FINE. THEN TAX." There's a lot more details to the story that I'll spare you but ugh...what a horrible experience. I went back recently, thinking maybe that girl had an off day. Nope. She just has a chip on her shoulder. Anna's Cake House is minutes away from my house but now I'm willing to go all the way to St Germain's at Metrotown to not have to deal with such a horrible person. read more

Services is terrible! I ordered a big birthday cake, I want to wrap the box with rope in order to carry it around. The women just push me to clear the payment, and said if you want to you can do it by yourself, and throw me the rope. No services at all! read more

I bought a mango cake for someone's birthday. It was delicious.

Small store, decent selection of Chinese style baked goods and goodies. Tried the Strawberry Mango Cheesecake - tasty but not really proper cheesecake, more like a mousse. read more

Bad service! The front lady looked like people owns her million of dollars. Ask her question and she wound't answer you, or just a few words. Don't like the place!!! read more
