    Mango cake
    Gianna Y.

    The mango cake is the bomb over here. If you know you know. This bakery has been in this plaza for more than 10 years. Maybe even 15-20 years. Mango cake is soooooo good here. I highly recommend it I even came in the morning and put an order for pick up after 4:00. And they accommodated.

    The mango cake is legit. I'm not sure about their other pastries, but a friend bought this cake and I took my time savoring my second slice even though my wife was exhausted and my 3 month old baby was crying in the background. The mango was the star of the dish and was generously portioned. It felt like the cake was 70% mango, so i'm not sure how the cake stayed together, but it did. The cake itself was fluffy and the white cream had the perfect amount of creamy sweetness to balance the acidic mango. I want another slice ASAP.

    Their mango cake is really good never a disappointment, but the rest are average. Was nearby this time and grab a quick bite .

    I was able to get a same day order for their mango cake. The mango was very fresh but not as sweet as last time. Regardless the cake was delicious and everyone loved it!

    Portuguese Egg Tart

    Cakeview Bakery & Cafe has been a longtime staple in the Scarborough community for decades for their classic Cantonese baked items and pastries. Even before COVID-19, locals will wait in line just for their legendary Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts and Portuguese Egg Tarts. Prepared fresh every hour, it's always a good time when you can get a half-dozen fresh tarts for every visit. The crust of their tarts has a nice hint of butter to enhance the sweetness of the custard of either egg tart. I always look forward to enjoy their egg tarts with a shot of espresso and it's worth the wait and drive for them!

    Pre-ordered one for my grandma's birthday. Everyone loved the cake and asked for seconds. I would have to order a size up next time. The cake itself was delicious. Mangoes are definitely not in season in December. But whatever they did to get the mangoes sweet, it was amazing. the cake was packed with layers of mango in between the sponge cake. The mango layers on top were beautiful placed like a flower. My whole family was very impressed. Had to deduct a star because: 1.) They called me a day before my pick up date and asked why i still didn't come to pick it up. I already had to schedule pick up a day before my grandma's birthday, as I am from Mississauga and this place is literally across town. So im guessing my cake has been sitting there for a while before i picked it up. 2.) I was not notified that the birthday tag was an extra $2. So now you know. Definitely coming back as grandma said YES! to the cake.

    I've heard of Cakeview previously but never knew exactly where it's located. For our family dinner, a friend purchased a mango cake from them and hyped it up to us that it's basically a cake wrapped and stuffed with mango! Well, their description is pretty accurate! It was beautifully wrapped with slices of mango all around topped with a strawberry with gold foil. Inside the cake, there's layers of mango in there also! The cake was soft and tasted very delicious! If you love mangoes, you must try it!

    Great spot to get egg tarts! I come here quite often for their egg tarts because they're some of the best I've ever had! Their traditional egg tarts have a lovely super eggy flavour--you know there is some egg goodness here. The crust on the egg tarts are also wonderfully buttery and flakey puff pastry. Their Portuguese egg tarts are also quite nice, less eggy compared to their Asian counterparts, but still delicious in their own way. They use a traditional tart/pie crust on these. Their fresh milk egg tart was quite nice. Definitely the least eggy of the egg tarts, but it has a really like taste to it. It reminds me of deep fried fried milk--if you've ever tried that. Overall, really amazing place for all your egg tart needs! Their prices are some of the best, and all the items can be warmed before you eat it. The only bad part is that the workers kind of always look displeased, not displeased about you, but about...life.

    Tart price list!

    Thanks to Yelp, I was able to find a place to satisfy my egg tart craving that was opened after I got off work around 7:45pm! I called them to ensure they still had egg tart left and they said yes butter cookie crust-my favorite, the only egg tart I like!! There were still about a dozen or so tarts left when I got there a around 8pm! There were 3 egg white milk tarts left but they looked kinda dried up! I stuck to my mission and got half dozen cookie crust egg tarts! $8.40/6 no tax! I took off a star coz the lady that was there weren't very friendly when I asked her how much they were coz the price tag wasn't in its show case. She just mumbled and I couldn't hear her when I asked her to repeat she just pointed at the price list by the counter. I guess OG places like this aren't known for its friendliness! I would go back if I had an evening craving again! The tart were decent, maybe it will taste better heated up!

    Ok ladies and gentlemen, If you're looking for the best flaky crust egg tarts in Canada. This is the place. I've travelled all over eating egg tarts my whole life, and this place takes the crown. Every weekend I order a dozen of these egg tarts. It is best to call in and reserve your dozen of half dozen at least 20 minutes before arriving to avoid disappointment. Also, this bakery makes the best fresh mango sliced cakes in all of Toronto. I've tried some other places, and the inside cake portion just doesn't have the right taste or flavouring. But at Cakeview Bakery, they make the mango cakes with the perfect amount of sweetness and no strange artificial flavour aftertaste. On Mother's Day, these folks have a assembly line of mango cakes being produced and sold. They must sell over 70 of these cakes on Mother's Day. Their two signature items at this bakery are the Flaky crust egg tarts and their fresh mango cake! Go, and come back and give me a like for compliment on this review!

    Came here for the mango cake. There were lots of fresh mango. would buy this cake again when mango is in season.

    Pork bun
    Wynne L.

    I haven't been here in years. I was in the neighbourhood and decided to come by for some afternoon tea. It was quite busy with customers constantly streaming through the shop whether to stay and eat or purchase some pastries to take away. We ordered the fried pork chop bun, pork pickled cabbage vermicelli in soup and the chicken vermicelli in soup. It didn't take long for our food to come out. Each item is $5.99 with a choice of beverage (coffee or tea). Although the fried pork chop bun is good it is not worth paying that amount. We were a bit disappointed as we used to come frequently and remembered it being much better.

We were there on Boxing Day at about 10:15am. There was a limited selection of savoury and meat filled Chinese buns at that hour. Baked Char Sui bao, Cheese, Ham, Sausage buns. The fresh cream bun was added at this time. If you wanted Taro or Custard filled buns or Egg Tarts, there were none on the shelves. There was a posted board outside the bakery offering "buy 6, no tax and receive one egg tart". I bought six buns and received a small HK milk tea, which was fine instead of an egg tart. The buns filling and dough texture was so-so imo, when I compare it to buns available at Markham Chinese bakeries. However, it filled our need while we lined up at another store on the day.

I was there overhearing that they will be having their grand opening soon. You can find your classic buns here like sausage bun, pineapple bun and char siu bun. But they also have specialty buns like fried chicken sandwiches, garlic cheese sausage buns and more. Buns are fairly priced here as well in my opinion with fried chicken sandwiches being less than $4. They also sell whole cakes and slices of cakes which looks really good. Interior of the bakery is beautiful and newly renovated. It's brightly lit and super clean inside. The one cashier cashing me out was friendly and chatty which I enjoyed. Telling me that VIP cards will be available once grand opening happens, but didn't know the exact date of their grand opening yet. Make sure to check out these affordable and tasty buns!

It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

Staff were very friendly and keep giving out samples :) Plus, the portion and flavour were very satisfying especially considering the price (very affordable!) Wish I could visit here more often if it were close to me. My favourite of the day was chicken sandwich and napoleon cake, which was pretty big and not so sweet :)

    TLDR: Good, a bit pricey, would go again for the classic pineapple bun…read more TIP: I believe they're debit or cash only. Debit is also only for $25+ purchases. Xuan Bakery has been on my list since they've opened and I finally had the chance to take a peek inside! It's your classic Chinese bakery, so nothing special there - you just take the tray and tongs at the far end and make your way to the register. The spacing can be done a little better - you can't really have more than 2-3 people looking and getting buns at the same time. SELECTION: There wasn't a lot of variety, but with the selection they do have, it was pretty unique. They have two different types of Pineapple Buns (bo lo bao): the classic and a Taiwanese version (which looks like Japanese melon buns). They also have several different sausage buns, including one with cheese and another with pork floss. These also look a bit different, it's not encased in the bun, but it's more of a hotdog kind of look. They also offer cakes and free samples of their cakes, which look and taste like your typical Chinese bakery cakes (not my preferred taste). They seem to really want to upsell their cakes (the lady kinda tried pressuring me to try and buy). PRICE: The prices were on the higher end. You're looking at about $4-6 per bun. They also have a 'lucky draw' going on right now if your subtotal is more than $25, but my draw required a minimum purchase of $35 lol (for a free slice of cake). FAV: The classic pineapple bun. The top was SO crispy yet the bottom was SO soft. I would go back just for this by itself. There was a lady ahead of me who ONLY bought the pineapple buns. She knows what's up.

I've been to this Saint Germain Bakery twice. My first visit was in December. I wanted to get macarons for my friend and colleague. I also got a six-pack of molten cheese tarts. I recently returned after my dental appointment. I was craving a croissant. This place uses a ton of butter, to the point where you can smell the butter as you are approaching the store. It's that level of buttery happiness that I wanted. Little did I know after uploading my whack-load of photos that I never reviewed this place. Oops! My guess is that I came here during my last week in the office and then I went on vacation, which seemed to include not writing a review. Well, here goes! This bakery is on the northwest corner of Pharmacy and McNicoll in Scarborough. There is parking at the back of the store. It's weird that the main entrance faces McNicoll. The businesses next to it have entrances that face Pharmacy. It's heavenly walking into this bakery. It specializes in Cantonese baked goods, such as beef curry buns, BBQ turnovers, and more. It does put a spin on non-traditional Chinese goods that use a lot of butter. The croissants and pain au chocolat are excellent. They are flaky, buttery, and delicious. I need to get macarons. I've gifted a six-pack, but have never consumed any. The molten cheese tarts are to-die-for good. I brought six of them into work last December and were a hit with my colleagues. They were rich in cheese flavour, each bite melted in my mouth, and they had the best buttery crust holding everything together. I recently indulged in a bunch of buns and flaky pastries, from a curry beef roll, to a BBQ pork bun. There wasn't anything that I didn't like. Everything was fresh and flavourful. This place didn't skimp on filling. I learned that you can get a VIP card that gets you 10% your purchase. This card is $10 on its own. You can get it for free when you buy at least $30 worth of goods. I managed to hit the latter by getting a container for pecan shortbread that was divine. These round shortbread were also a hit at work. Staff here are always helpful. I may need to order a cake from this place. They looked so good, especially the ones with fruit on top. This place also sells Hong Kong-style tea and lobster rolls. The latter was sold out when I was here on Tuesday. I'll need to get the former next time. If you are a bakery fan, come here. It's excellent! (199)
