Friendly staff, fresh pastry, fantastic prices! This is a great spot if you're craving some delicious Chinese style buns or cakes. I would highly recommend this place to my family, friends, and the community.

Huge Buns! Good Quality! Brothers Bakery has really solid product. Nothing really fancy here or fusion but just traditional Chinese baked goods that I grown up with. Family owned and operated. A lot of regulars coming in just to buy their products or hanging out at the few tables set up in the front of the store. Egg Tart and Milk Tea both decent and for $2.15, great as an afternoon snack. 40% off all buns after 5 pm.

Huge black first cake for my grandpa's birthday :D

Quality Chinese buns, pastries, and cakes in Markham. I've been going to this family-owned bakery ever since they have opened LONG time ago - still a very busy location across from Pacific Mall. Lots of variety to choose from and they often have their own twists on their products (ie. Peanut Butter Pineapple Bun... it's shaped (sorta) like a peanut and it is very tasty!) Service is always quick and courteous, no long line ups! They also have seating area where you can sit down and enjoy a bun or two, and they serve hot/cold beverages as well. Ooo and tax-fee if you buy 6 or more buns/pastries :) Some of my all time favourites: Barbecue Pork bun - stuffed up LOTS of barbecue pork, good bun/pork ratio lol. Plain/Sesame-topped buns - so soft and chewy, I can eat this all day. Peanut Butter Pineapple bun - came out probably 10 years ago, and still loving it, plus I'm a huge peanut butter fan :D Overall, 5 stars - absolutely amazing - fresh, delicious, and products are always available! #loyalcustomer

Mango cake with chesnut filling (special order)
Samantha Y.

Very very delicious buns and cakes here! My family and I have been visiting this bakery over 10 years now and we keep coming back for more! They take custom orders for cakes with little to no extra charge! My family's favourite is the mango cake with chestnut filling. They usually only do either mango or chestnut, but they will do mangle and chestnut if requested for only a few bucks more! The sponge itself is not too sweet and very soft (not too firm). Also, I recommend buying their gift certificates if you plan on going often. The more you buy, the greater the discount (up to 50% off!). However, these certificates cannot be combined with their 40% off after 5 sale. I highly recommend visiting this bakery if you have never before!

Location/Service: This bakery has been here for as long as I can remember. It is in the same plaza as Pacific Mall, just across from one of the mall entrances. The bakery opens as early as 6:30am so if you want a fresh bun for breakfast, you can get one early! I went there on a Friday morning at 8am, just before I went to work and there were loads of buns waiting to be sold/eaten. There were quite a few people there too, sitting and eating a bun or two with a hot cup of HK milk tea/coffee. There were about 5-7 tables that are good about 2 people in the bakery. It is definitely just a place for you to eat your breakfast/ a quick meal and not for your to stay long to chat with your friends. In terms of service, there were 3 people working that morning, and they helped me when I asked them. Food: There is an assortment of buns. There are definitely the traditional ones like pineapple bun, cocktail bun, bbq pork bun, etc. but there are also more "different" buns like apricot jam buns, peanut butter buns, etc. Overall, the buns there are A LOT more expensive than at other bakeries. Each one is about $1.80, whereas other places are only $1.20 or less. Pineapple buns with no filling are usually just $1.00 or less, but here it is $1.5-1.8. It is ridiculous but I had to see for myself if the quality is better than other bakeries. I bought a whole bunch of breads and tarts: - BBQ pork Pie ($1.20): huge, but the meat tasted weird. - Curry Beef pie ($1.20): huge, curry wasn't spicy. It was okay but not worth the price - coconut tart ($1.20): Huge, good taste, but not buttery enough like other bakeries. - Egg tarts ($1.20 for both butter crust and flakey crust): The butter pie crust one was really good but VERY expensive. The flakey crust one didn't sit well the next day as it became really soggy. - Chestnut tart ($2.5): VERY good, very good buttery crust. For the price, I think it is okay since chestnuts are expensive. I will definitely get this again next time. - Cocktail Bun ($1.20) - The outside looked different from the other bakeries so I had a hard time finding it in the first place. Unlike other places, the coconut filling was very sweet and the coconut filling was all like a smush/blended in. I do prefer if I could taste a little bit of the coconut meat texture. - Pineapple Bun ($1.20): like any other buns, nothing special. - Pineapple bun with custard filling (~$1.8): This was very interesting because the custard filling wasn't like the other ones I have tasted before. The filling was hard (not those that oozes out) and it tasted like those egg yolk custard buns you get from dim sum places. I really like this bun and would definitely get it again in the future. I also ordered a chestnut birthday cake in advance. It was about 7'' and it was $30. Definitely pricey for the size. The chestnut was really good though so if someone in your family really likes to eat chestnut, I would definitely recommend getting either chestnut tarts or a chestnut cake from Brothers Bakery. Unfortunately, the HK milk tea was lacking. Too much tea and not enough milk. I'll stick to other places for hot beverages. There's a 40% discount if you buy cakes and buns after 5pm everyday!

Pineapple pastry bun with apricot jam
Daphne W.

One of my regular bakery spots in Markham. I love the quality and variety. They also serve HK style milk tea, coffee and "yin yang" (HK style milk tea mixed with coffee). I recommend the milk tea as you can tell it is fresh and also very smooth. It definitely reminds me of Hong Kong. This bakery also has a few tables where you can buy their goodies and a drink for a quick sit-down snack time. My yummy bun recommendations would be their pineapple pastry bun with apricot jam inside- they don't sell this at a lot of Chinese bakeries so it's a must try!! I also really like their regular pineapple bun, pineapple bun with coconut filling, mexican bun and their egg tarts!! The egg tarts are so good! Also do keep in mind that they have a discount after 5pm but I still make a visit as I don't live in the area. The location is also very convenient as it is located right across from Pacific mall, so do definitely try this place out!

I never really noticed this place until I went to Pacific Mall with my friend and he mentioned that this place has the best BBQ pork pastry. The store itself is outside of Pacific Mall in the strip of stores along Kennedy road. It's unassuming, simple, bare bones decor Chinese bakery. The kind I'm used to going to growing up. The prices are standard as all the buns hover around the $1 price point. The BBQ pork pastry itself was $1.30 each. The pastry itself was thick and had a flakey top and was a bit doughy towards the centre. My friend liked it but I prefer thinner & flakier pastry. The pork was delicious - moist and full of flavour with few fatty pieces. I will have to come back to try the other buns.

From the online order, to the final reveal of the cake, every step was professional and concise. I…read moreLOVED my first experience with Oh Cake and will be ordering more in the future. Their designs are abundant on the website and they really get the design to a tee, it was PERFECT. Flavour selection is pretty good and I did have a short call with them while ordering on their site to determine which flavour was recommended as well as what colours I wanted the cake design to emphasize. I had to check Google reviews to confirm instructions on their location, but when I got to the Langham Square plaza it was easy enough to find based on their address (unit number 2006). Staff gave clear instructions at pick up to keep the cake in the floor of the car during transport and to store the cake in a fridge until ready to eat. The box for transport was great because I got to check the design easily before leaving and the ribbon was tightly wrapped to secure the box cover to the base. The staff speak Mandarin as well as English. Payment was all done online beforehand. Highly recommend ordering their cakes for any event!

Sorry for the bad photo but I just had the best chocolate cake at a birthday party the other week…read more My husband doesn't even like chocolate cakes and he was raving about it. It's super moist not overly decadent and just the right amount of sweetness. So I'm here documenting to remind myself to order a cake for next time. It seems that they are well known for their ube cakes so I think I'll have to try that next!

I was recommended by a family as they had Sheryl make their wedding cake. I read that her specialty…read moreis the Ube flavoured cake, so when we decided to order our wedding cake, we knew we had to get Ube. Sheryl might not respond to her emails ASAP as she has another job as well, but will eventually respond within a few business days. If it's urgent, and you need a quick response, you can always call or text her for inquiries. Ordering our wedding cake was very easy, we told Sheryl the details such as how many tiers, serving size, and design inspiration. She also delivers for an additional fee depending where in the GTA. On the day of our wedding, we expected to see her around 4pm, but she actually came earlier to help set up, and make the cake area look nice. When I saw the cake in person, it was made almost exactly to what I asked for, and yes, it was beautiful. The buttercream used lasted for hours as the cake wasn't served until at least 5 hours after being placed on the table. When I tried a slice, the Ube flavour was evident, not too sweet, and the cake itself was very soft. I highly recommend booking your wedding cake, or any cake from Sheryl if you want Ube!

Underground parking side so you can load and order your cake without worrying about the weather!…read moreHas loading zone near the shop too for easy loading of drinks and cakes. Have had many different mille crepe cakes from Xcakes. Matcha, Earl Grey, mango, Taro. My favourite is still the mango. So freshly made on the day you pickup and you can taste the quality and freshness as a result. It's not too sweet and feels light so I can happily enjoy the cake! They do custom designs or multi flavor cakes as well. They also have sponge cake cupcakes. Love Maggie, Jay, and their team!

I found this little gem completely by accident while rushing to grab a last-minute birthday cake…read moreand it turned out to be such a great discovery. Tucked inside Markham 朗豪坊, X Cafe is a takeout-only spot that keeps things simple but does them right. They have a solid selection of ready-made small cakes for quick pickups, and you can also pre-order custom cakes in your preferred flavors and sizes. Prices are very reasonable, especially given how fresh everything tastes. It's nothing over-the-top or flashy just genuinely satisfying when you're craving dessert. What impressed me most was how well-balanced the flavors were. Nothing overly sweet or heavy. I usually prefer sponge cakes over mousse, and theirs really delivered soft, airy, and perfectly moist with just the right hint of sweetness. A lovely go-to for cake lovers, and definitely a spot worth supporting if you appreciate thoughtfully made, no-fuss desserts from a local small business

Located in a primarily industrial area, it's a bit hidden away and parking can be tight. The staff working were super patient and happy to let us try flavors. There were so many to try! We ended up trying a lot of flavors and bought 4. Peanut Kaya toast - has a nice light peanut butter flavor and has chunks of toast mixed in. I wished there was a bit more condensed milk sweetness but it was nice. 4/5. Tofu pudding - if you're a fan of the Asian tofu pudding dessert - this is perfect for you. It's got a perfect light hint of tofu and light sweetness. 5/5 if you love tofu dessert. It was pretty good to me 4.5/5. Ginger milk- be warned - this has a good ginger kick. If you're not into spicy, avoid! For those who like ginger milk, this is the real deal. The ginger will linger in your mouth and throat. 5/5. Green apple - tastes like green apple candy. Hits the spot for that classic green apple flavor -5/5. Lychee osmanthyus - has a really nice lychee flavor and a hint of tea to balance the sweetness - 5/5. Horlick - this one is on the delicate side, not super strong but does remind me of Horlick. 4.5/5 only because I wish it was a bit stronger. Salted egg - this one is definitely an acquired taste. It's very good as a salted egg ice cream - whether you like this or not depends if you liked salted egg. It's like someone took the salted egg out of a moon cake and transformed it into ice cream. 5/5 if you like salted egg. Pear - surprisingly not flavorful at all. Honestly, couldn't taste any pear - not sure if I just got an ice chunk out of the sorbet when tasting. Not sure I can rate this fairly. Hojicha - another great tea flavor. If you like hojicha, this is for you. 5/5. Price - 5$ for a small container and 15$ for a big pint.

The scoop selection has also expanded significantly - maybe double or triple the size thanks to the new freezer (not sure what you call those things!). The freezers for take home scoops and pints remain the same. I didn't see any of the pastries this time around and not sure if they'll bring it back. The owner remembered me. :) friendly as always, she asked me what flavours I'd want to see upon my next visit! I couldn't think of any since they've make flavours for EVERYTHING. Apparently cilantro flavour was her husband's idea LOL. But i love tea-based, fruit, and unique flavours so i'm excited for all of those. Today's visit i got these take home flavours: - salted egg yolk - ube coconut *my dad raved about it not being too sweet - hatch coffee *starlight blend* *my mom said this tasted great - tofu - mango *they didnt have this in the fridge but the owner offered to scoop out of their Backstock which was amazing of them!!! I did an upside down scoop (cone on cup) of double chocolate over genmaicha. The double chocolate tastes like a lighter version of a chocolate truffle - the owner influenced me into trying this flavour and won me over since it wasn't too rich or too sweet, which I deeply enjoyed. The genmaicha had a strong tea flavour. You could really get the nuttiness nd roasted rice flavours out of it. Both were super creamy and smooth. Will probably be back here monthly to restock.

If you're just doing a pickup like me, it'll be easier for you to just temporarily park by the curb and go in. Picking up was very quick and easy - I was in and out within minutes. Just remember to have your phone number ready! They have pretty interesting flavours but this time got the Matcha Red Bean Mochi Cake. The matcha flavours were good and not too sweet, and complimented the red bean nicely. I did really enjoy the mochi layer. The cake itself was also very light. I don't really know what the things on top of the cake were (dried figs?) but we didn't eat them, so not sure if they're edible. I'm usually the cake-person for my friends and family, and I definitely will be ordering from here again, especially to try the other flavours. 10/10 would come again! Tip: my cake came with a sparkler. I didn't get a choice in candle, so beware!
