I have been eyeing visiting this St Germain Bakery on the northwest corner of Pharmacy and…read moreMcNicoll. I discovered that this bakery sells macarons. Still on a macaron quest for the best, I decided to drop by on a Tuesday earlier this month, a day before heading to the office for the last time in 2024. The parking lot is behind the bakery. I had no problem backing into an available spot and walking over to the bakery. You can smell the butter as you approach the main entrance. I was excited to check it out. It has buns with various fillings. I completely ignored this section when I saw macaron sets in the display case. I wanted to get it for my friend and colleague. I also got six molten cheese tarts. They looked so good. I thought that it would be perfect to share with my small team. The woman behind the counter was so patient and friendly. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I then carried my goodies to my car. My friend was happy to get the macarons. I haven't asked him how they were. I will when we are both back in the office. I'll need to get a set for me to enjoy. The molten cheese tarts were a hit. My friend and I loved how delicious and smooth the cheese tart filling was. It had a slight saltiness with the buttery crust that worked so well with the filling. My friend had two. I had two. I offered my manager one. He didn't hesitate. He took his first bite and was sucked into the heavenly goodness of this magical tart. I'm not kidding. It's amazing. I don't recall who ate the last one. I just know that it was gone and I had nothing to bring home. I will return and get some buns. It's funny that I completely ignored that section, but I do know that it exists. (502)

Parking can be busy depending on the restaurants nearby, there is additional parking just south across the road. Service was quick and polite. Food: Black sesame cake. The design is interesting to look at. The cake itself is not bad - not light nor heavy, just the right cake consistency. The black sesame cream has a hint of black sesame in it and adds moisture. The most controversial part of the cake is the little black sesame cubes on the top of the cake. These undeniably have more black sesame flavor but lean towards the drier side. I wish they were a bit more moist but still the black sesame flavor is nice. Price: I do find cakes here on the pricier side and while the flavors are unique, there's a lot of competition with other Asian bakeries where you can get a pretty similar flavor profile for cheaper.

The prices were also super reasonable. The thing I love about this place is that you can tell that it's family owned and reminds me of the bakeries my parents would take me to as a kid. It just had such a sense of comfort to it. I ended up getting the Angus beef burger, the custard pineapple bun, the cream cheese bun, 3 egg tarts, and a box of earl grey shortbread cookies. Like usual, if you get 6 and pay with cash, then there's no tax. Everything was absolutely delicious! The egg tart was warm and straight out of the oven when I got it, so it was soo creamy and not too sweet. The Angus burger was surprisingly good and tasted like how my mom would use to make them. The custard pineapple bun was also delicious with lots of filling and once again brought me back to my childhood. Don't even get me started on the shortbread cookies, sooooo buttery! I will literally go back to buy every single flavour of shortbread cookies that they have. Overall, a must visit bakery, and I will be coming back in the future whenever I need a bao fix.

Our family's haul consisted of some puffs, buns, and cookies. We were happy with our selection. Curry beef puffs were savoury, flaky, buttery buttered puff crisps filled with curry beef with tiny bits of carrot. BBQ pork buns had good proportions and sizeable chunks of BBQ pork stuffed into a giant sized bun. Hot dog bun was good too. Chicken hamburger was such a welcome snack sandwich made with a sesame seeded sweet bun, mayo and a pinch of lettuce on both sides. It's about the size of a McDonalds Junior Chicken Burger, but tastes sweeter. Assorted cookies I bought were the flaxseed shortbread, sesame crisp cookies and butterfly crisp cookies. Their attention to detail is not just in the craftsmanship of their baked goods. It's also in the way they treat customers and the details of their decorations inside.

The tray of pork floss buns hits the perfect sweet, salty, and fragrant balance. The fried chicken bun was a standout. Crispy juicy chicken with mayo inside a slightly sweet bakery bun is an unstoppable combo. The Garlic Hot Dog was pretty average since I couldn't taste any garlic at all. The curry bun could use more filling, but the pastry itself was flaky and flavorful. The cheese chicken bun was huge and super satisfying. We got it fresh so the outside was crisp and the cheese stayed gooey. We also grabbed their famous egg tarts. They kept selling out and the kitchen was scrambling to keep up, so we pre-ordered and came back thirty minutes later to pickup. Totally worth it. The crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is silky and creamy. In our opinion, these are the best egg tarts in the city.

Coconut bun which was soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. Egg tart was also really good. Crust is very buttery crust with a silky custard center. The wagyu curry bun had a rich and flavorful filling with just a hint of spice. Spam egg pineapple bun was also really gooood and the egg salad bun too. Also got a hotdog bun because I like hotdog. The buns were all excellent. Prices are fair for the quality, and the staff is kind and welcoming. Definitely a new go-to spot when I'm craving pastries and buns!

Recently, I got to try two of their 6 inch cakes. The earl grey tea chestnut cake with fresh strawberries and the black sesame mochi lava cake with fresh mangoes. Both cakes are AMAZING! I could taste the earl grey flavor and the chestnut flavor separately along with the fresh strawberries, it is a wonderful combination. The black sesame one was sooooo good also. It has black sesame mousse on the outside and the top is like a black sesame lava topped with pistachios and some kind of nutty crumble crunch. The inside has mochis layered within along with black sesame cake, more of that nutty crumble crunch and at the bottom is fresh mangoes. I honestly don't know which one I like better but I am craving either cakes again (I had both within the last 3 weeks haha). The service there is still excellent. Everyone working there is so kind & helpful. The ambiance is nice... it is spacious, bright and clean. I really love going in there and chatting with everyone while receiving top notch service.

The store was busy when we came around noon and while not the largest, they had some really interesting goodies for sale. I was really tempted to buy some jams and various pickled foods while in line but the two of us ultimately came for the sandwiches. We had the Mortadella and Cotto sandwiches followed by a Cannoli. First bites - the bread was a little tough and while it looked pretty good, our reactions again were like - okay. Not bad but nothing notably outstanding, and I kinda wish there was more filling for the price we paid ($18 per sandwich). The cannoli was very flakey - I think my favourite part of the meal was actually the fresh juice we purchased with the meal. I appreciate how they warmed it up for us to go and sit outside in the sun on benches they have right outside the store. The staff were quick and managed the line very smoothly. I think it was nice to try but feels like there are a number of other options I'd recommend first for the same price of sandwich around Toronto.
