I really wanted to try this cake place out because who can pass up a cute animal shaped cake? The cake store was in a shopping plaza with parking. They sell big cakes, mini cakes, macarons, cake slices icecream and other things. If you spend a certain amount you get a discount on another item. I got the panda panda cake and it was amazing. The cake melts in your tongue and there were thinly sliced dried mangoes layered in between the cake. I'll be thinking about the cake for a while. Staff were very patient and friendly as well. I can't wait to visit again to try some other cake flavors.
The creativity here is pretty remarkable. If you're looking for unique and specialty cakes that present well, definitely give this place a try. We ordered four different cakes that were all tasty but the presentation and the design were amazingly creative. The service here was really good as well. They were able to pack each cake individually in nice boxes and bags. You get what you pay for because these cakes are not cheap but worth it for a special occasion.
Sweet and photo friendly desserts Cozy and cute vibes Memorable cakes for special occasions I prefer places with excellent coffee and tea options to pair with pastries but their coffee and milk tea were just decent but not superb. Savory croissant (truffle crab) was very rich and I couldn't finish. Bobalicious was too sweet for me but it definitely brings a smile with its cute design. Cozy spot in Richmond to chill and enjoy some "daan go", aka cakes in Cantonese ^_~ Although I recently don't have any sweet tooth cravings to fancy their sweet cakes or cute macarons for dessert, I may return on a hot summer day when visiting Richmond to try out their various ice cream flavours. Their service was decent and I noticed they thoughtfully designed a small window on the side of the store for picking up cake orders. I would like to rate them higher for excellent cake presentation and designs but it's not a high 4 or 5 stars for me as I didn't find great tasting dessert item to my liking on recent visits. This is still a place that I would visit again with an open mind when I am in the area or to bring friends that like super cute desserts.
We got this limited edition cake for fathers day and it was definitely the best cake I've ever had. Previously I find their cakes to be more on the sweet side, so I didn't like it very much. But after seeing they had this new flavour I just had to get it. I originally asked for less sweet but was told they make it in batches so they are unable to adjust the sweetness which I accepted. The cake was actually really delicious. The sponge cake was soaked in coffee, then a layer of chocolate cream, then cake, and then a layer of pistachio cream and topped with this super yummy pistachio chocolate on top and two macarons. The coffee balance out the sweetness which I really liked. Too bad it's only available for a limited time or I would order it again.
Lots of variety of cakes and they even have ice cream. Everything is almost too pretty eat. I've heard lots of good things about this place. Parking is ample right outside as well. This bakery is more of a pick up and go kinda place; not a sit and chat over coffee with a piece cake. I can't wait to try the cakes.
Actually lost count of how many times I've been here - Nice shared parking lot available - however, can we challenging to find a spot during peak meal times - you could technically also walk here from Lansdowne as well! Place is nicely lit - with just a few tables to sit and enjoy your treats, I normally take them to go as I can't land a table. - or plan to have them as after dinner treats. Service here can sometimes be hit or miss - as the staff sometimes are too occupied with chatter among themselves and miss some opportunities to assist you , however I find they are normally knowledgeable and can make good suggestions on what to get. I personally really like the tiramisu & 24 mango cake (no picture) - flavors are pretty good - however, you might want to share your treat with someone , as they can get quite overwhelmingly sweet!
100/10 Always tasty I've tried a few of the desserts. The strawberry crème are the best one yet ! It's a light but crisp croissant base , filled with a slightly sweet filling and topped with strawberries. I also tried the cactus pot , layers of mousse , cake and dark chocolate shell. It is quite sweet. There is some seating in the restaurant and you order at the counter so it is really quick.
Daan Go Cake Lab 4731 Garden City Riad, Unit # 100 Richmond My kids were in Richmond & went to get some dessert... I recommend the Mango cake... my son got a cute Chocolate Mousse Ramen cake... OMG, it was so cute, it includes the noodles, Japanese fish cake & even a pair of chopsticks... extremely skilled in the cake decoration, the taste is good too. I let the picture speaks for itself Sorry ... no photo of the other cakes but the ramen bowl.
I think I was expecting something more delicious coming from a winner of masterchef. I found the items to be visually appealing and had very interesting flavor profiles, but I didn't find the items to be that tasty unfortunately. I tried their ramen bowl, hk milk tea cake, and a white peach macaron. The white peach macaron was good, but the others I didnt' find that memorable.
Last visit Jan 2025 A little hard to rate, due to their croissants being considerably better than everything else, but here goes: Churro Croissant: 5 stars, 10/10 beautifully decadent. What you'd imagine a churro at a Michelin star restaurant would be like. Strawberry & Cream Croissant: 5 stars, 9.9/10 better than any strawberry cream cake. Crunchy and flakey, not too sweet. I actually can't go back to just cakes. The Macarons were good, but for the price they'd need to beat Thiery, and unfortunately they don't. 4 stars Lucky Duck mini lemon cake: I love lemon tarts, but this one underwhelmed me, especially for $9. 3.25 stars Strawberry Pocky Cookie: everything I'd want in a cookie, except I'd have wanted white chocolate as well. 4.5 stars Overall, their Croissants are fantastic, and not too sweet, we've tried a couple of the mini cakes, neither impressed us;, the cookies are really good, and the macarons were good (best we've tried in Richmond so far) but a tad pricey. 8.3/10, 4.25 stars
This bakery offers a variety of cute small cakes, large cakes, macarons, and baked goods. I always enjoy the presentation of their desserts, which are great to bring to a home party or gathering. This time, I visited for the limited-time items from the Nomsmag Food Festival and Vancouver Croissant Crawl. Mont Blanc Croissant - Chestnuts berry croissant with vanilla cream, Nomsmag food festival This item was delicious! The chestnut paste and vanilla cream paired perfectly, and the croissant dough was so crispy. I enjoyed having the croissant with the cream and paste together. It was very good! The Pumpkin - Biscotti crumble, Candied pumpkin, Pistachio orange cremeux, Green cardamom, Orange zest, White chocolate mousse. Nomsmag food festival. The white chocolate mousse was good, but I'm not sure if the candied pumpkin, orange zest, and green cardamom go well together. I think there are too many different ingredients in one dessert, so I would prefer just the white chocolate mousse, pumpkin, and pistachio cremeux. I do like the idea, though." Thai Milk Tea Creme Catalan Croissant extra-crispy croissant tart, filled with a silky smooth Thai milk tea crème catalan for a unique twist on a classic treat. I really like this croissant! It has plenty of Thai milk cream filling inside the crispy croissant dough. Just like the Mont Blanc croissant, the crispy dough and filling go very well together. The filling's flavor was strong and delicious! Pina Colada Croissant flaky croissant "bar" filled with a tropical pineapple rum compote, dipped in dark chocolate, rolled in shredded coconut, & topped with coconut ganache. The pineapple rum compote, dark chocolate dip, and coconut ganache were great and went well together. Ramen bowl cake Pudding Noodles Coffee Jelly Milk Chocolate Mousse Chiffon Cubes Caramel Syrup Diced Caramelized Pears One of the most unique items in this shop. The ramen bowl appearance is perfect--so cute! However, the syrup and jelly texture could be a bit smoother. The chocolate mousse was good. I'm looking forward to seeing the next new cute dessert. I can't wait!
A cute little spot in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing and has cute decor while still making use of the fact that this place was definitely some sort of automotive shop in its past life. They have basic teas and coffee as well as pastries, cakes, macarons, and cutely designed desserts. The workers were very helpful with the ordering process and describing what each item was to us before we bought it. The macarons were really good and my favorite would have to go with the Pandan one. The desserts that we got were definitely an experience while eating. Each part of it felt like an art piece as we would bite into the "dirt" of the cactus which was full of crunchy pieces of what seemed to be chocolate amongst other things. Same with the noodles and how there was a short of jelly to be tasted as we continued to eating. Overall a good experience and definitely a nice place to order multiple things if you're looking for something edible yet very cute to eat.
Another year older, another year wiser! This cake 3:15 definitely has strong flavours. The garnishes of macarons and strawberries are great complements, especially the strawberries which have intense aroma and sweetness. However the cake itself needs a bit of refinement as I think there's a bit too much cream. CONS: the service can be improved as the staff were just standing around chatting.

Have been wanting to try this spot ever since they opened in BC. I've even ordered a delivery for my loved ones in Toronto from Daan Go and they love this spot so I had high expectations. I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings.... read more
A very innovative HK-meets-west bakery, with really well done traditional western pastries with innovative themes (crab truffle croissant, matcha churro with caramel filling), plus creative cake interpretations of dim sum items. we bought a whole bunch of pastries and cakes and they were all really good, lots of great mango based fillings too. Highlights: - Bolo Bao (guava strawberry compote vanilla chiffon and passion fruit mango) and Siu Mai (mango compote passion fruit mousse yellow choco wrapper) - honey butter vanilla - a croissant with amazing filling - the "Cinnabon" is not the traditional Cinnabon. It is more like a twisted churro creation but really good. I feel a place like this is the best of marrying western baking and Chinese themes. It is the kind of innovation I often saw in Hong Kong. In fact I think this place was founded by a HK based engineer who came over. read more
The cakes are all absolutely beautifully presented. My favorite was hands-down the milk tea, then the pistachio with lemon curd, I was surprised how much I liked the tiramisu. None of us really liked the Ramen one. The flavors didnt meld well together. Also, the pears should have been cut into smaller pieces. read more

Extremely satisfied with their Ramen Bowl cake, which combines pudding noodles with a coffee jelly broth, all served in a chocolate ramen bowl. Inside the "bowl" is a "broth" of deliciousness! This is the perfect treat for any sweet-toothed ramen lover to try! Service was okay, Ambiance is uniquely fit for a cake shop! read more
I honestly wish I was able to try everything in this bakery. They have such unique desserts, both in presentation and flavors. I tried the Lucky Mandarin and the Tira-Meow-Su. Both were very delicious and not too sweet which I liked. We came in on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait at all to order. The girl taking orders was friendly, and I was worried that my desserts would not survive being in the car all day, since I wouldn't be home for hours. However, they were still perfect being out of the fridge. read more
Finally had the chance to check this place out! Everything looked so cute and delicious! We had the Vietnamese coffee tiramisu, 3:15 cake and Firma. The Firma had malted milk chocolate mousse, dark chocolate mousse and salted caramel and it was a nice combo. The Vietnamese coffee tiramisu was creamy and had a mild coffee flavour. The 3:15 cake could've had a stronger milk tea flavour and also I think the mousse texture was a bit too firm so this one was our least favourite. Everything was "not too sweet" and these cakes are perfect for parties! Their croissants and pastries look good too so I will have to come back! read more
Six months ago, we visited this bakery in Richmond. Everything looked so good that I wanted to try everything. We ended up sharing the ramen bowl and a slice of 3:15. We also got the Kamcha HK style milk tea. The ramen bowl consisted of "noodles" of a pudding texture, coffee jelly, and chocolate mousse in a chocolate "ramen bowl". Definitely IG-able! The 3:15 cake was made with HK milk tea mousse, Vietnamese coffee and evaporated milk cremeux, and a "pineapple bun" crumb crunch made from Ovaltine. Loved this! The milk tea was very smooth with a hint of bitterness. That's what I call a true HK style milk tea!. Too bad, they didn't have the cold version in the summer. We went back a second time to try out the mont blanc, lucky duck, and tira-meow-su. We also met the owner! The Mont Blanc consisted of roasted chestnut cream, yuzu marmalade, and vanilla chiffon. It was delicious! The lucky duck was a "bathtub" with painted white chocolate duck, lemon curd, pistachio cream, and almond sponge cake. So cute! The tira-meow-su was in a chocolate "cup" with a 3-D marshmallow cat, mascarpone cream, and vanilla chiffon. Another IG-able dessert.. Highly recommended! read more
Went there twice in 5 days & sampled 5 dessets & its award winning Hk milk tea. We even shook hands with chef Christopher Siu himself. The HK milk tea was smooth & strong with good red tea flavors. HK milk tea mousse cake was excellent, Mont Blanc was my fav, must be the roasted chestnut cream. Ramen bowl was fun to eat & not too sweet, lucky duck & tira-meow-su both very good, again very filling. All of these lived up to the IG hype. It also serves house made ice cream but we were too stuffed. See video below for more visuals. https://youtu.be/g-A4oVrkxNE read more
Just the cutest cakes you can imagine. We got the boba cake (chocolate mousse) with tapioca, the ramen cake (fruit cake), lucky duck (vanilla), and the tirameowsu! Loved them all! You can pre-order or pick up same day for these cakes. They have more choices! I believe they also do high tea there. There is seating area in case you want to dine in. read more
We are always searching for extraordinary flavours and exquisite presentations, and my journey led me to Daan Go Cake Lab. Founded in 2011 by the culinary virtuoso Christopher Siu, this place is a treasure trove of unique and delectable desserts. Walking into their Richmond, BC store was like entering a dessert wonderland. Daan Go's cakes are not just treats; they're edible works of art that ignite your taste buds and your Instagram feed! What sets Daan Go apart are their incredibly creative and heartwarming macarons, croissants, pastries, and cakes. Each piece is a testament to the dedication and love poured into crafting them. But the real magic lies in their unique fusion of Asian flavours. We tried everything, and kids are addicted to their cute designs. Daan Go Cake Lab is a must-visit for food bloggers and party planners. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: Yay! Kids love their treats, especially their animal macarons. Presentation: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Tips: * can collect points for free rewards. * has many options for cakes and treats * is convenient, spacious and bright. Would I Return: Yes read more
Right off the bat - beware of long lines here & very pricey goodies. Highly advise you get here around opening time! Limited staff = long lines & major wait times. Daan Go Cake Lab, recently opened in Richmond by MasterChef Canada winner & now celebrity chef - Christopher Siu. I don't do reality TV, hence I'm totally unfamiliar with MasterChef. I do know from the supermarket tabloids I see while I'm in a checkout line buying groceries, that marrying a Kardashian is very bad for your mental health & well being. However, I am familiar with fantastic bakeries all over Metro Vancouver, & I can confirm that this bakery is a definite must try = #yummylicious. I'll describe the taste of what I ate this way - not too sweet, not to heavy on the belly & not too much fondant (now that's a bigly word) = pure satisfaction! Plan accordingly (go early so as to get a chance to see a variety of treats while they're available) & for full cake orders - go online. There is limited sitting available so I'd recommend you grab & go. Wow the 24K Mango Cheesecake was excellent! The Ultimate Chocolate Chip cookie - mama mia! Ok what in the smell was that!?? The Gold Thorn was an absolute thorn in my nose cause gosh that smell of Durian (fruit) had me at - stop not today or ever again! Yelpies, someone's gonna need to do sum splanin' to me cause, nope just nope to Durian in the Gold Thorn for me. Durian looks like a Passionfruit online when I looked it up but let me tell you, don't be fooled because that passion could be the kiss of death. Like I asked, for those that luv it, please explain why cause I nearly passed out!?! Durian emits quite the pungent ordure! The Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu Cake helped kill the sting of that Durian stench. Looking forward to going back & trying other cakes & a macaron or two. read more

I came here a couple of times already. I waited for an hour to order the cakes and pastries. Thanks God that they tasted great, so I didn't waste my time to wait to order. You can see all the cakes or pastries that I ordered via the photos here. The second time I visited this cake lab again was to pick up a birthday cake. It was great that I could just head to the counter and skipped the long lineup. I showed the order number to the staff at the counter. She could bring the cake to me right away. If you look at the cake lab website, you can see the images and description of their products. I love them all. I would like to come back and try other items. Currently, the website has unlimited items. I am guessing the cake lab does not have the capacity to take online orders yet. I tried to call many times and order or check on my online order. Nobody picked up the phone. I hope the business will run better and more smoothly soon. I would highly recommend this cake lab to others. I am sure adults and children would love the cakes and pastries. Their packaging such as boxes and bags are very creative and beautiful. read more
It's a grand opening event soo the lines are ridiculously long -- like 1.5 hours long! But everyone was in good spirits and the masterchef himself came out to talk to people or bring milk tea samples! One of the peppier staff came outside to answer questions and gush over the pastries which really increased the hype! Once in there are a lot of staff gathering your items but the problem is that it's hard to make a decision when you're only in front of one case. Perhaps more menus circulating or posted would help spurn decisions and they definitely need more than one checkout terminal. There's actually a good amount of seating available as well. I tried the tira-meow-su (appreciate that the cat is made out of marshmallow or mochi?? makes it tasty and not purely for decor though the cake itself was a little drier), cheese fromage (passionfruit cheesecake was yummy), white peach cake (daughter thought it was soo good) & milk tea (strong in flavor)/yeung yang coffee (not soo good per the hubs and pricey for a small cup). The macaron flavors were definitely more Asian inspired as are the croissants (got the salted egg and sesame ones)! Overall super cute looking pastries that's actually daan good too! read more
Daan Go Cake Lab has been the talk of the town recently with their successful grand opening this past weekend! If you've watched Masterchef Canada, then you'll be familiar with owners names Christopher Siu and David Jorge This bakery has a variety of classics and HK inspired flavours. I was quite impressed when I took my first bite into the Tira-Meow-Su $8.5 and London Fog Supreme Croissant $7.8 and noticed how it was the perfect "not too sweet" balance. I recently tried the Supreme Croissants from Little Cafe on Robson and actually preferred Daan Go's as the cold cream filling was oozy and not overwhelmingly sweet! The 24K Mango Cheesecake $7.25 is on the sweeter side but with an acidic tang of mango. The mango macaron is a really nice detail but overall was not my favourite cake here Their cutest attraction may just be their character macarons with 18 different flavours to choose from. Here's what I tried at $22/6 pcs: Panda (Roasted Milk Tea), Dino (Pistachio), Koala (Vietnamese Coffee), Cow (HK Milk Tea), Lucky Cat (White Peach), Frog (Pandan Coconut). My favourites were the Pandan Coconut and the Vietnamese Coffee Overall would definitely visit again to try their other creations and I'm excited to continue supporting their business! read more
Friendly service and amazing desserts. Not only were they the cutest desserts I have seen but they were also delicious. The duck in the bathtub was so yummy and the crunchy duck was a fun surprise. The ramen bowl is perfect if you like chocolate. Each intricate detail in the bowl is amazing! The bowl is also edible. Loved this place! Easy parking which was a bonus. read more
Amazing pastries and custom cakes! I ordered online and it was so easy and simple. Hardest part was which cake to choose. The pick up was a bit slow as rhere was only 1 worker but definitely worth the wait. I will definitely order more cakes and have the afternoon tea here sometime... can't wait to try the macaroons and ice cream too! The store is simple but welcoming with K-pop music playing. The quality of the moon cakes is divine! Well done!! read more
My girlfriend surprised me with this cake lab recently; she found it online, and the cute designs caught her eye. As we were looking into it, we found out that the owner was the winner of a cake TV show, which made it even more interesting to come by! It was a cloudy or rainy day when we visited, so there weren't many people inside compared to other reviews that may have been on sunnier days. The cake designs really were interesting; they were creative with the choices and realistic looking. We didn't even want to cut it open until later that night, it was just so cute! We were there for their Bobbalicious and Ramen Bowls, and although we expected them to be cakes, they were actually more on the mousse side. (Both of them were like chocolate mousses.) We liked how the decorations were made of other ingredients, such as tea jelly for the ramen's soup and actual pearls for the boba's pearls. The first impression of the boba was quite refreshing, then it became overly sweet as you worked your way through it. The ramen was even sweeter; if there wasn't any tea jelly on top to balance it out, the whole thing would be too sweet. Overall, we have to try the other ones out to see if we like them or not, but we did appreciate the creative side of the treats! read more
This bakery is a must visit to see Canada's Master Chef winner's creations. Each cake/pastry is crafted so beautifully and creatively. There are so many varieties of cakes, danishes and macaroons. Great for eating for yourself or as a dinner party gift. Although the baked goods are a little pricy the quality and taste makes up for it. The workers behind the counter were friendly and gave great suggestions; especially since I didn't know how big I wanted my cake to be. The hype is worth it. read more
This review is just based on their cakes. I have yet to try any of their pastries. I love cute things in general so will try to get my hands on all things cute and edible if I can. But so far, only really enjoyed the cactus cake (Firms) that was super rich and decadent and the bathtub one with the ducky (Lucky Duck) which was light, not overly sweet and with a nice tang to it. However, I've noticed the shape of the cakes (I.e. the chocolate ducks and the carrot cake rabbit has been going downhill). All the other cute cakes and 3:15 has been a bit on the average side so far for me. Their coffee flavoured stuff is especially not pronounced enough for me. Tried both their latte and milk tea once. I don't think I'll be coming here for any drinks specifically. Once again, not terrible, just had no "wow" factor. read more
Doesn't get better than this! Gorgeous decor, open space, super clean, and of course the food is amazing. Super creative and adorbs!!! Looks so good you don't want to eat it! But it's so delicious, you won't be able to stop Definitely have to get the milk tea to go with your dessert. Perfect pairing and it's really really good. HK style, rich and creamy. All the food is delicious. I love matcha so I'll always grab a matcha item to go. Omg it's so good. They don't skimp on the ingredients, so you always know you're getting proudly fresh, quality, and flavorful bites of goodies. They put a lot of heart and creativity in their food, and also their restaurant, seating and packaging. Very immersed into the happy Daan Go brand from the second you pull up. Oh and if they happen to have burnt cheesecake, MUST HAVE. I'm so glad to see he's opened up another location!!! Wishing them all the best and may the bakery always be busy and bustling!!! read more

The cake is so cute, it doesn't matter if it's tasty. And it is!!!! 3:15 - Ya gotta be Hong Konger to know what it means. At work, 3:15pm is tea time, everyone will send the office boy to get milk tea and egg tart. The milk tea flavor of the cake was very rich. Loved it! Carrot cake - Delicious according to my brother who tried it. He said best he had. Vietnamese coffee - You can taste the rich espresso flavor. So read more

5 stars because this passed the Asian mom test for "not too sweet". Staff were helpful and the interior is super cute with tons of space to enjoy your treats. We tried the durian cake, Vietnamese coffee tiramisu, and chestnut cake. We also got the matcha roll croissant and tuxedo croissant (it was buy one get one free :). read more

Daan Go has wowed with its limited-time creations offered as a part of the 2024 Vancouver Ice Cream Festival. These delightful treats are as delicious as they are adorable, making them a must-try while they last! WHAT WE TRIED Korean Corn Dog Ice Cream Vietnamese Coffee Affogato The Korean Corn Dog Ice Cream is a whimsical treat featuring guava strawberry ice cream that bursts with refreshing tropical sweetness. It's enveloped in a luxurious Madagascar vanilla bean cream, adding a rich, smooth layer. Toasted chiffon cubes with a golden chocolate coating further contribute to the texture, and the entire treat is beautifully complemented by the raspberry "jam" and mango "mustard" adding a sweet and tangy kick. Overall, it's a wonderful symphony of flavours and textures in every bite. The Vietnamese Coffee Affogato is an indulgent treat with rich, robust Vietnamese coffee poured over creamy condensed milk ice cream. The coffee's deep, aromatic bitterness is perfectly balanced by the ice cream's sweetness, creating a harmonious blend of flavours. A subtle hint of olive oil adds a silky smoothness, and this combination of bold coffee and creamy ice cream delivers a luxurious and satisfying dessert that coffee lovers will adore. This luxurious dessert is a must-try for coffee lovers. Of all the treats I've savoured at this year's festival, the Korean Corn Dog from Daan Go is my absolute favourite. The unique blend of flavours and textures has me wishing it was a permanent menu item and I'm completely obsessed! Instagram Reel: https://bit.ly/4cfppxU read more
