Had their mango mousse cake at a recent birthday and really liked both the texture and freshness of the cake. Generous layers of mango mousse surround two layers of sponge cake, topped with a chocolate bowl spilling over with chunks of mango. Delicate mango flavors that was not too sweet or unnatural. Perfect for those that don't have much of a sweet tooth and prefer fruity flavors instead. I also like that there was minimal amount whipped white cream that you usually find in most Asian cakes. Came with the Happy Birthday sign and a candle :) Only downside was when we removed the protective plastic covering, all the chocolate swirls came off with it. So take your pictures beforehand. read more

Another great experience with eating their bolo pineapple bbq pork bun. I arrived on a Saturday morning and the place was bustling with people. When I went to pay for the order, there were already 4 other people in the line. I guess people know when it is good! Ther buns were great, although one of them seemed to lack a bit of ther filling or it was on a slant? read more

Came here to look at their display case to find out which birthday cake to order ahead. They have delightful looking Red Velvet Cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Mango Mousse Cakes, Napoleon Cakes - sprinkled with powdered sugar on top and filled with a walnut cream filling - and Vanilla or Chocolate or Chestnut Swiss Rolls. After finding the right one, I bought a Chocolate Swiss Roll with vanilla/white filling to bring home for dessert. Tempted to select a dozen buns - one in in each flavour - coconut buns, bolo buns, pineapple buns, charcoal buns, durian buns, or curry beef buns - or a few egg tarts. I also ordered ( 香港奶茶 ) *milk tea* with sugar for takeout. It was perfectly brewed with strong flavours, sweet, smooth and creamy. read more

We've been coming back to this bakery for the swiss rolls and napoleon cake for years! This time around we called in to order a mango chestnut cake for my dad's birthday. On short notice, the cake was ready for pickup in just a couple hours. I was skeptical about the mango chestnut combination at first so I was surprised with how tasty it was! The mango was a bit sour as expected since the fruit is not in season, but it was covered in some kind of syrup so the outer layer tasted sweet. It was a great contrast to the sweet chestnut frosting. A yummy cake if you are a fan of fruity and nutty flavours! Great price for the quality as well. Try this bakery if you're in the area! read more

I always insist on stopping here every time we come to Markham/Toronto! They have the best Chinese bakery I've had. My go to bakery in the area used to be Dong Dong, but they've gone downhill in terms of taste and quality of ingredients. At this place, my two favorites are the curry beef buns and the pineapple bun with coconut filling. They are generous with the curry beef filling and it is very flavorful. The curry has just the right amount of heat to it. They are also generous with the coconut filling. It tastes sweet, buttery, and delicious. I've also gotten other buns from here like ham & cheese and coconut buttercream. Everything is amazing! It is pricier than other bakeries in the area, but it is totally worth the extra cost. read more

When I'm in the area, I try to stop by this great Asian bakery which has a vast selection of baked goods! It's right next to the food court and a few stores away from Grandeur Palace, which is popular for dimsum. I've tried a few things from here like the tasty coconut filled pineapple topping bun, Hong Kong style egg tarts with their subtly sweet creamy custard goodness, taro filled bun, bun with hot dog pieces and the ham and cheese filled bun that has bacon pieces and green onion on top. All of these tasted great and the prices are even better. If I remember right, most buns are under $2! Because of the great selection, it's so easy to spend at least $10+ when coming here. I would say that the only disappointment is that this bakery is popular and you need to come earlier in the day to get what you want. Good luck getting baked goods from here after the dimsum rush on weekends! Definitely worth trying if you haven't been here! read more

Aromaz - One of several rows of buns at this Asian bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tasty buns, priced reasonable and have lots of selections!! Can't go wrong for those whom like traditional style Chinese buns for a bite. This is my go to compare to all other bakeries in the GTA!! Their cake selections improved a lot since 2 years ago and tastes phenomenal, esp their chestnut/mango moose cake. Customer service are outstanding, fast and efficient! read more

3.5 Star Aromaz is a Chinese bakery located right beside the food court of Chartwell Mall. Here you won't find the best deal $1 for 3 buns? Buy 5 get 1 free? Here you might even need to pay a little more than some other Chinese bakeries in the area. But I tell you come try the egg tart ($1) here! Just love that buttery flaky crust and the filling just has this great smooth taste of silky egg... I will just shut up and eat my egg tart... BTW, their store made chestnut tart looks just as interesting... I am going to try that next time! read more

Aromaz is my go to premium Chinese bakery. Business has grown substantially over the past couple of years. The door to the kitchen used to be open so that patrons could see how the food was being prepared. Now a days, the door is usually closed, and when opened, I can see many workers crammed into the kitchen preparing the buns, pastries and more. The bbq pork buns and egg tarts are excellent. All the food I have savored, range from above average to excellent. The high volume of repeat customers like myself and minimal leftovers at the end of the day is testament to the taste and quality of the food offered here. read more

The cake looks pretty. But the cake taste so bad and it is to sweet. I had to throw the cake in the garbage. All of my family member said it is too sweet, and had never ate a cake that is too sweet. Waste of my money and not worth buying this cake. I ask for Oreo flavour and then said ok they can make it. But all my family members said this is chocolate not Oreo at all. read more

Aromaz - Oreo Cake but it is chocolate cake - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great selection of Hong Kong pastries! There's quite a bit if traffic here so the baked goods are always fresh. The black forest cake always hits the spot when I am feeling nostalgic. Love the combination of the cream and the super crunchy chocolate chips. They also use fresh ripe cherries for the fillings which I prefer over cherries soaked in rum. read more

I haven't been here for a while. Passed by today and got some buns and a chestnut tart. Their buns are okay, but the chestnut tart is such a disappointment. The center of the tart is filled with chocolate rice krispies, and it doesn't taste good at all. read more

I don't know about their breads but their cakes are definitely not presentable and neither do they taste good. My picture of their chocolate almond cake says it all. I couldn't even tell it looked like that in the display case because the ugly side was facing the inside. so sneaky. No bakery would sell something like this. I am extremely disappointed because I used to order their durian cake for special occasions. I would give Aromaz zero stars if it's possible to. I learned my lesson and will never buy their cakes again. read more

Aromaz - The bottom of the cake was crumbling. A huge chunk of it was missing. Really? Can you sell something like this? - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Located right next to the food court in Chartwell to tempt you with sweets after your meal. By the end of the day around 6:00pm almost all the cases were cleaned out! That should give you an indication of how hot these cakes are. The mini coconut tarts are bite sized and not too greasy. On this visit they had a fresh batch of egg tarts come out that were filled with silky smooth custard. I have to say that one of the specialty items is their breads. The milk bread is super soft and has that wonderful touch of sweet. The only thing that was kind of a flop for me was the coconut twist. It was a little on the dry side. The ladies are nice enough to bag everything up individually so it stays fresh. They do offer some drinks if you're wanting a beverage to go with a snack to eat there. There's no seating within the bakery but you can take it to the food court that is literally steps away. read more

this is my go-to bakery and on the weekend there is a small line up. But with safe social distancing. ( everyone has a mask+ minimum of 6 feet ) egg tart- super flaky. ( 95 % taste just like in hong kong ) egg tart- with eggs white only pineapple bun - nice filling cakes are made by a true pastry chef. ( weekend there are 3-4 staff in the back and 2-3 in the front) They can make a custom cake for you in a few hours. A little more expensive but well worth it. They are not as sweet as other Chinese bakeries with too many fresh fruits on the top. Much better than other Chinese bakeries in Scarborough or La Rocca or Dufflets from Metro. read more

This is one of my favorite Asian bakery. I love how clean it is and I can see part of the kitchen. This bakery has a variety of sweet or savory buns at a competitive price. Their Swiss rolls aren't cheap but it's pretty tasty. I also adore the glass display case that is extremely clean and there's always a variety of cakes/tarts. Only complaint I have with this place is their lines are way too long. No matter how many people are working that day there's always a line. That's because the cashiers are extremely efficient and they think wiping off the trays is more important than the huge lineup. read more

Clean, small bakery inside chartwell mall. Their buns and egg tarts are delicious but limited selection on cakes and buns of the day. It could be the day I went though. Their cake selection seems to change a lot. They also do sweet tables for weddings with sweet selection that varies depending on what the chef likes to make. We are having them do our sweets table for June and the caterer who works with them are say that they only provide "chef choices" and we can't really pick what we want which is a bit of a problem which is why I'm docking a star for not being flexible. read more

This bakery is so dishonest and not trustworthy!! My dad bought $15 buns, he gave the cashier $50 but she kept it without giving him back the right change. She turned away as if nothing happened. How can you trick a senior person like that ? I'll never recommend anybody going there! read more

This bakery offers a wide variety of items and it seems to be a popular spot for people to come by after grocery shopping in the plaza. I've had their buns here and they were okay. But the cake I tried was awful. I got a whole chestnut cake for a special occasion and it was extremely dry. I have no idea how long it's been sitting there. I probably wouldn't purchase cakes here anymore or recommend this bakery for cakes. read more

Decent Chinese bakery, but the prices have been increasing every year and the portions have been decreasing... they should really re-evaluate how they price their bakery goods if they keep shrinking the size of their products! read more

Aromaz has all the classic Chinese bakery favorites made with quality ingredients. The buns are packed full with sweet or savory fillings. You can tell they make everything here with great pride and attention to detail. I love the cakes they offer each one beautifully decorated. They often sell out everyday so you know you're not getting past day desserts (especially if you're serving a cake up for a special occasion). They also offer up some more unique flavors like hazelnut, green tea, and durian just to name a few. read more

I am from Mississauga and I always come to this place when I need to get bakery for my family. I have to say, I can't find a better bakery in Mississauga. They have a lot of varieties in store to choose from and their swiss roll are pretty good too. read more

Great selection of cakes at a good price! Their mini cakes and their regular sized cakes are super pleasing to the eye and yummy in your tummy - I recommend coming here for a snack for for buying cakes for celebratory purposes. The egg tarts are also super yummy!! :D Might be one of the best egg tarts I've had. There's also ALWAYS a line at this bakery - so you know it's good! read more

*3.5 stars* Aromaz is a slightly pricey bakery with a single note-worthy item, their above-par egg tart. Aside from their egg tarts, I do not see how their baked goods are so much more "superior" to justify their pricing. Their ingredients are not special. Their baked goods are not necessarily the most freshly baked. I hear from others that recommend Aromaz's wife cakes (approx. $1.10-$1.20/each). I think they are alright. The buns are a bit pricey, at $1.00 or more/each. The buns taste like any other Chinese bakery buns. Not a standout. They sell whole and sliced cakes at the counter, too. I cannot comment on the cakes since I never tried them. As for the buns, I worry that they may not be fresh. When I came here at closing time recently, I saw the ladies covering the leftover buns with saran (plastic) wrap and moving the trays into the kitchen. (I suspect they will be resold the next morning as "fresh" buns.) They do not offer closing discounts. Everything is still at full price. So, buyer beware! What I really do come to Aromaz for are for their egg tarts ($1.00/each) and its convenience. They offer two versions of their egg tart: one that has pie/tart-like "butter" crust, and the other that has a "thousand-layer" crust. Both versions are $1.00/each. I recommend the "thousand layer" version. The crust is wonderfully flaky and light. Also, this is an item that sells out daily, so I don't have to worry if it is fresh or not. The egg custard has nice colouring to it. It is a well-made egg tart, and tastes just swell. That said, all in all, I still believe Fragrant's egg tarts are the best in the city ($0.90/each). In terms of the actual egg tart custard (the insides), I prefer Fragrant bakery's egg tarts over the Aromaz version. The only downfall is that Fragrant's egg tarts sell out incredibly quickly, and oftentimes, you must wait 20-30mins before the next batch of egg tarts are ready. And this is why I go to to Aromaz. It's a very good back-up for egg tarts for guests and family members, if you're in a hurry and do not want to risk waiting for Fragrant's egg tarts. Aromaz bakery is located inside Chartwell Shopping Centre at Brimley Rd and Huntingwood Dr. Cash only. If you're not particular about the taste of your egg tarts, they sell baked goods at BestCo supermarket (within the same plaza) for a fraction of the price ($2-$3 for 6 egg tarts). Plenty of parking on the weekdays for the entire Chartwell Plaza. Fragrant bakery is located inside the shopping centre at Midland Ave and McNicoll Ave (where the Yee Hong Centre is). read more

I really like this place! although it's chaotic sometimes and the line can get long and messy.. I still choose to come by whenever I want to get a cake, since I feel they make them really well :D (it could just be that my mom used to always get my bday cakes here).. as far as I can tell, they're cash-only and the prices you see have tax included. read more

My family comes here regularly since the quality is good and the bakery is confirmed to be peanut-free. I came on a Sunday around 5pm and they were almost empty. The correct name cards were not always in front of the matching product which was a bit annoying. Some of these buns look the same so I want to make sure I'm getting the one with filling I want! Also, they don't seal each individual bag which can result in your bun being exposed sometimes when placed in the larger plastic bag. -Coconut buns: Delicious, lots of filling -Mango swiss roll & chestnut swiss roll: both delicious, very fine crumb, nice and light, excellent flavour, 2 small ones for $6 (or $3.50 each) -Wife cake (): disappointing, not sweet at all, avoid We've also ordered birthday cakes from here many times. I like the mango and the chestnut ones. The black forest one has cherry jello in it which I don't really like. The cakes aren't overly sweet and always taste fresh. read more

Aromaz is probably one of the top Chinese bakeries, it has the best buns and pastries. I haven't tried their cakes but they do care about their reputation. If one of the buns are squished or doesn't look good, they'll give you another one for no charge. Usually bakeries have their end of the day sales, but this one doesn't because they don't need to. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese buns, but for someone who does like them, I definitely recommend this bakery. read more

Love their chicken pot pies. A bit pricey for $1.80/each, however they are pretty decent in size in comparison to the chicken pot pies at Everbest at Woodside for $. 90/each. These ones pack quite a bit of ingredients like mushrooms, onions, ginger (I believe). Gotta learn how to make these! read more

Typical chinese bakery. I really like their freshly made egg tarts which cost $1.35+ tax, the egg white one isnt as good because they added some sort of ginger flavour which I dont think quite match it. If you buy 6 it is tax free. I also like their big raise whole grain bread which costs aroubd $2.50 + tax. They dont sell this in other chinese bakery because it isnt so common so im glad they still sell it here. It used to only cost $1.35 and alot bigger now its smaller and more pricey, none the less it still taste pretty good. Their hk style milk tea is also quite flavourful for about $2.25 I believe. They are located inside the plaza and open from 9:30-8:20pm every single day for 365 days. If you buy 6 buns it is tax free excluding those big buns, load, and bags of minins. It can get quite packed and they usually sell out fast but they replenish the bread quite fast. Their cream bun is also delicious for $1.45 + tax. read more

Nice looking bakery, however, their prices have gone up (so expensive). Horrible customer service from the front workers.

Got food poisoning after consuming a couple of baked goods. The cakes were tasteless and dry. Disappointing and will not visit again.
