I pre-ordered the "Pandan Paradise Cake" for my mom's retirement and everything about it was amazing! The website is easy to order from, and since my brother picks up the cake, the instructions make pick ups very simple between the two of us. The first thing my family and I noticed was that the pandan was very aromatic, but not overpowering. The cake and mousse cream didn't have an artificial colour to it, and there was a very nice balance of fruity flavours with the mango compote and coconut graham base. The mango compote was different (texture-wise) but delicious nonetheless! Most importantly, my mom enjoyed it and as "every Asian parent" says, this cake is definitely not too sweet nor heavy, and the portion was great for 4 of us (we got the 5"x3" cake [6 servings]).
Daan Go is always a great spot for asian desserts and cakes for birthdays! I love how their baked goods aren't too sweet. I ordered these limited edition mooncake set for mid autumn moon festival and it was delicious! I loved the use of unique flavours like white peach. The staff are friendly as well with lots of parking in the area. The shop is small though.
Located at a corner of a very small plaza. I just wish they had one open in Markham. Came here on a weekend to pick up two slices of cakes. I love their cakes, they offer a variety of flavors. Got their mango cheesecake and 3:15 which is one of my favorites. My kids love their mango cake as it's layered with fresh mangoes and jelly. 3:15 is hong kong milk tea and I could certainly taste the hint of milk tea, not too sweet. Most of their slices of cakes are $7.75 each which is a little bit pricey so I don't get them too often just on special occasions. I'm not a big fan of macaroons but I've purchased them before to give to friends. They make them super cute, highly recommend checking this place out if you love macaroons!
Earlier this month, I wanted to get some macarons for a friend. It was a Saturday morning. I ventured out to a different place and noticed that it only accepted orders by appointment. Bummer. Plan B? Daan Go Cake Lab. This store was roughly a block north from the closed one. This cake lab is in a plaza with one-way traffic. I was pleased that I found a spot fairly close to the main entrance. I backed into this spot and headed inside. I was happy to see so many cute macaron varieties. Yay! It was tough to decide what to get. I went with six macarons. I got two each of the following: - Roasted milk tea (panda) - Black sesame (octopus) - Salted caramel (lion) I got the nicest woman who helped me with my order. She asked if I was a rewards member. I wasn't, but I signed up for it. You give your phone number every time you order anything from here. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and all was done. She placed the macarons in a nice box, and then placed the box in a paper bag with handles. I thanked her and left. My friend loved the macarons. Her favourite was the roasted milk tea. She had visited Paris a few months ago. For her to say that they were excellent was a good sign. I didn't realize that it came with a booklet of all macaron flavours until I ordered a box for my friend and me to share the following week at work. Yes, I visited this store twice in less than five days. I'm in macaron mode. I still am! I got the following flavours (two each) for us: - Roasted milk tea (panda) - White peach (cat) - Salted caramel (tiger) I am the only one in our group of three friends who has not been to Paris. My friend and colleague was there in September. He asked me what he should get when he was in the city before he left. I said macarons and anything in a bakery. He did get macarons and loved them. We ate all our macarons before lunch... haha! We loved all of them. I especially loved the white peach. So good! This place makes excellent macarons. It also has cake. I wouldn't mind getting one. You can also get slices if you don't want to devour an entire cake. A few years ago, on a Monday, my manager sent me an instant message and asked me where he could get a cake for his daughter's birthday that day. I wasn't thrilled that he waited till the day of her birthday to get a cake. It was also a Monday. Many bakeries like taking Monday off. Thankfully, this place was not. I suggested coming here because I've always wanted to get the tiramisu cake. I don't know what he got for his daughter. He told me that it was an excellent suggestion and I should suggest good eats for a living. I always had a feeling that this place was special. Christopher Siu won Masterchef Canada. It shows in the macarons and the care that he took with everything that he made on that show. I have finally tried the macarons and they are divine. I'll be back for cake (maybe not the durian one) and more macarons soon! (417)
I was gifted an amazing Daan go cake for my birthday, from my friend. I loved how realistic looking the bubble tea cake was. Flavor wise it was just as amazing as it looked. I love the way they provide unique cakes. I would definitely come back here and purchase these as a gift for others in my life. Thanks!
If you're a fan of Asian flavours in pastries, Daan Go is worth many visits. I've only ever ordered to go from here, and it's never disappointed. It's worth ordering in advance for anything larger, but the selection is abundant even when you walk in. The interior is very clean which allows you to focus on the cute baked goods they have in their display. Service here is efficient and welcoming; I'm always satisfied when I pay a visit!
It's Christmas time. My hubby gave me a great surprise with Daan Go cakes. We like their cakes because they always have new cakes and it always gives us surprised. It's not only a cake, but also delivers joy and fun. We like to guess what's inside and tear it one layer by another. This time Raman is the new one. The 2 pieces of chopsticks, Japanese decor on top are white chocolate, noodles tasted like mousse and some sweet pears at the bottom. The soup bowl is dark chocolate. Inside was a bit sweet, and dark chocolate outside could balance it at the end. We like to try again.
Macarons so cute and so good! Can't go wrong to pick a few flavours to try. We tried a few of their cake flavours as well (pandan, mount blanc and 3:15) - I like how their cakes are light and not too sweet. They all have their distinct flavours so it all depends what you like. Small note, the mount blanc has a grainy texture and it was our least favourite out of all the cakes we've tried. - their durian cake is worth a try too if you like durian One of our favourite cake is their strawberry shortcake! I hope they bring that back during the warmer seasons. I'm happy they're expanding and they have a location closer to me in Richmond hill!
Have to get in early otherwise the selection dwindles, or preorder what you want! My toddler loves the pistachio dragon and we've gotten 6packs of just the dragon several times. The staff are always pleasant! Their holiday selection are extra cute with festive decorations on the characters.
Do not come here if you want real mooncakes. Do come here if you want desserts shaped like mooncakes. We had coconut, sesame, hazeulnut, pistachio, sesame, and other flavours. These cakes were so tasty and had cute designs.
I ordered the durian cake for my birthday and it was OMG so amazing! If you aren't super into durian, this might not be the cake for you - they were really generous with the durian. I'm impressed by how they shaped it like a durian and layered the durian between the cake (it was a lot of durian - almost 80% of the cake)! Note it does taste (and smell) much stronger if you have it at room temp. For best results, pop it in the fridge and it will taste like you're eating frozen durian ice cream cake. Chef Christopher designs one of the most aesthetic cakes that cater to Asian flavours (or for those who don't like desserts that are overly sweet). This cake completely blew me away. Deserves another star for me.
Daan Go is the place to go for Asian flavored cakes, pastries and ice cream. They always seem to be doing something new and innovative which provides a fresh perspective and stunning desserts. The macarons were a beautifully and cutely crafted set. Make no mistake though, the flavor is spot on and just as good as the design. The cookies were light yet had a nice crisp. The filling is smooth and creamy with the flavors being represented accurately. Love the Asian flavors. We also had the chance to try their tiramisu in a cup. Super cute and eye catching design. Flavor is also on point. The marshmallow cat is the best part! Price: It is on the more expensive side but the quality and uniqueness makes it worth it!
The cutest packaging and presentation! I waited to preorder the gold thorn as it was sold out for a week (must be really popular). Also got a mango cheesecake slice too. The gold thorn was mindblowing!! 10/10. It was incredibly CREAMY and smooth with concentrate flavour. The flavour and aroma is so intense, it's like you're eating the real thing but in mousse form. Impressed that they use 100% durian puree. For $7.50, it's worth the price! And the rest of the layers were all light and delicious too. What a treat! The mango was okay. Smooth too and yummy, but taste more like a mango mousse than a cheesecake? I was confused to where the gold flakes were... Tip: check into Yelp to get 5% off your order!

This bakery is opened by a Master Chef Canada Winner so you already know the cake here is going to be BUSSSIN! I love how they celebrate and bring forth asian flavours and really taking Asian bakery cakes to the next level in taste and design! I know the durian cake is not everyone cup of tea but if you are - you definitely need to come check them out because it is DANK!!!! My mother loved her birthday cake and enjoyed every bit of it and you know that was was demolished really quickly! read more
Nice shop with a large display case with all the macarons and cakes. A good amount to select from with cute designs. The person helping us was friendly and wrapped up our order of macarons quickly. A box of 6 macarons for $20CAD. The macarons were creative flavors and they all tasted great. Kept in the hotel fridge during our visit and pulled them out about 15 to 20 minutes before eating them. Would recommend as well as go again next time I'm in Toronto. read more
I recently tried this desserts place again when I was in Scarborough as it had been a few years since my last visit. This location is further out in the east end compared to the Baldwin location in Kensington Market but the parking here is free since it's in a plaza in the suburbs and the overall experience is better. I instantly noticed how clean and open the space was compared to the Baldwin location, which is pretty cramped. The display cases here showed their many cake flavours and macarons nicely. Looking at these while waiting in line helped to pass the time. Off to the other side of the cash register was their selection of cookies and next to it was a large freezer of ice cream tubs. I loved how stocked this location was compared to the Baldwin location - probably because this is the original one. I came here on a weekday afternoon, thinking that it might be less busy - not too bad as there were about 3 people in front of me and 2 others joined behind me soon after. It took about 20 minutes though before I was able to get my cake slices as there was only one person working at the cash register and I had the misfortune that 2 out of 3 of the customers in front of me were picking up their cake orders. This meant that the one person working there had to retrieve the cake orders from the kitchen, then assemble the boxes for the cakes, and work the register. I wasn't in a rush that day but an extra set of hands probably would have helped to keep the flow of customers going. I had already tried their mango cheesecake at their Baldwin location the week before, so I came to this one specifically for their matcha crepe cake and 3:15 slices since these two were sold out at the other location. I also ended up getting the chips and chunks cookie while paying at the register. The cake slices were about $7 and $8 each and the cookie was $3. The delicious and not too sweet cake flavours made up for the wait! The matcha crepe cake was perfect for matcha lovers like my husband and I - strong flavour and loved the delicate crepe layers. The 3:15 cake had a more subtle milk tea flavour in comparison but we enjoyed it and it paired nicely with an evening tea. The chips and chunks cookie was a good balance of being sweet with some hint of saltiness from the chips bits in some bites. I'll definitely go back to try more of their cake, cookie, and macaron flavours! read more

First of all, when you get to the plaza where the lab is situated, there are 2 sides of parking. One on the bakery side and the other on the cafe side. The cafe side very narrow in terms of the driveway and it's usually a bit of a mess. I prefer to park on the cake side but on the road if there are no spots available. I have now tried several of their cakes. Gold thorn - durian mousse. It turns out for my family, they like the fruit so much that they prefer to have the fruit over the cake. Nonetheless it was a very nice creation with a cute thorn top and nice spongey cake inside. diamond - dark chocolate ganache - this has got to be my favourite. It's decadent but not heavy and not ultra sweet. The small diamond is a white chocolate piece I believe. 24k mango cheesecake - I think this was our least favourite. It's not very cheesy and taste more like the dried mango fruit. Maybe just not our thing. 3:15 - coffee and ovaltine flavours - my family favourite. It's exceptionally done with HK influenced flavours and definitely a specialty you can't find anywhere else. tiramisu - one of the best you will ever try with a light crunch as the bottom piece. Most of the cakes have a crunchy base giving the cakes an exceptional balance of texture. By the way. Don't forget to check in on yelp to get your 5% off. You can also join their loyalty to get $1 per $20 to spend next time. read more

Love love love this Asian fusion bakery. Have tried several of their specialty cakes and macarons. Everything is really fresh and not too sweet. Macarons 50 box comes so cute packed in an box with a legend for all the flavours. So far we have have tried the lucky cat cake, ramen cake, durian cake and macarons. On the pricier side but worth it for a special occasion. Something different to try if you're looking for different ideas for celebration cakes and desserts. read more
****4.5 out of 5 stars**** After watching some good YouTube reviews about daan go cake lab, I had to order one for my birthday. Plus, on top of that he is Chinese and also the winner of Masterchef Canada! I ordered the 24K gold mango cheesecake through ubereats. The cake had 4 layers: cracker crust, cheesecake, mango filling and mousse on top. It also comes with 3 mango macarons as well! It was very delicious, not too sweet or tart. Perfect balance! The only minor flaw, is the cracker crust. Some the crust was still stuck on the box after cutting. So I couldn't get a clean cut for each slice. I had to scrape it out from a spoon. Next time, I will try the durian cake. It does look like a durian! Stay tuned on my next review! read more
Daango is my go to place if I ever want to grab some sweets whether for myself, as a gift or as a party favour. Their macaron designs are always so cute! And their cakes never disappoint! I recently ordered the Lunar New Year macarons and they were SO so cute, and they had special limited edition flavours! However, a few of mine were not as fresh so Im guessing they made and packaged them ahead of time so that was the only let down. None the less, I would definitely come back and order from their classic menu or whatever specials they are doing at the moment! read more

If you're durian lover then you must try @daangocakelab signature cake gold thorn! very nice creation with realistic thorn and very spongy durian mousse cake inside, literally melts into your mouth! real durian flavours no artificial! If you are durian eater you know what I mean $45 good enough for 4 servings They look like 2 little hedgehogs don't they? read more
I'm Asian and my wife is Caucasian so Asian style cakes that you typically get at other Asian bakeries are never our first choice because of the weird flavours and lack of sweetness...but these cakes are so different. This is our fifth cake from Dana Go and we love the flavours. Not only is the presentation of the cakes fantastic but the unique flavours and moist cake set a high bench mark. It satisfies my wife sweet tooth without being too sweet for me..and our kids love the cake not only for the cute design but also the flavour. We don't want to raise kids who only eat chocolate or vanilla so it is great that they are exposed to unique flavours that they really enjoy. If you haven't tried Dana Go- you have to try it. We live in Durham region but will drive the 40mins to pick up a cake for a celebration. read more

When I was trying to find where to buy my fiancée a birthday cake, Daan Go was recommended to me by several people and I've been hooked ever since. Their cakes are delicious and very well made - and my fiancée loved hers enough to get me one for my birthday as well. The prices are intimidating but I was happy with the results every time. The macarons also make good small desserts and gifts that anyone with a sweet tooth or affinity for cute things can enjoy. read more

Came back for Round 2 of their macarons! Definitely let the macarons come to room temp before eating them so the buttercream can melt/get creamier/not be like biting into a stick of butter. Some macarons are wayyy better than others in terms of flavour. Better Flavours: - Vietnamese Coffee - Blueberry - Passionfruit The other flavours really were not too memorable... Srsly, I honestly can't even remember what other flavours I got. You'd definitely be buying these as a novelty item because they are honestly so freaking adorable... breaks my heart eating them. read more

Yes in the same plaza we have the Daan Go Cake Lab! I placed an order for an afternoon tea set, pastries (2 cakes), and a box of macarons. It turns out that to pick up the afternoon tea set you have to go next door to the Cafe but you can pick up the other stuff at the Lab. This is where you can check out the really cute concoctions. I think they generally recommend ordering stuff ahead of time because they can sell out. When we got here at around 2:30pm, it looked like there were still macarons and cake slices in the window. Since I had pre-ordered, they had my order packaged in a different fridge. I had an order for the Tira-Meow-Su and the Cheese Fromage. Both are really a delight to the eyes. Definitely the perfect gift as a pick me up for someone. I'm not a huge fan of tiramisu in general but this one was pretty good. The cake didn't come across as soggy. It turns out the cat is a marshmallow! I don't know how they shaped it to be so cute. The cheesecake was lime flavoured. I didn't care for this one as much but it had interesting textures. The mouse itself was a chocolate shell that was filled with cream that was lime flavoured. read more
So glad to see that they joined the Too Good To Go app. Usually not a macaroon person, but but decided to give it a try with this app. Got 5 different macaroons and they were super cute. Liked that they gave a variety with different flavours. Favourite one was the milk tea macaroon. read more

Just wanted to say that the cakes are still superb. Diamond Cake - hazelnut chocolate with hints of passion fruit. The tangy taste from the passion fruit balances out with the chocolate flavours so well. Not overly sweet. Love this cake! Gold Thorn - if you are a durian lover, you will definitely love this!! This has real durian in it and tastes amazing. Real flavours of durian instead of the artificial tasting ones. Beware.... it does smell so if you have people that don't like durian, watch out for this one! read more
Delivery of beautiful cakes with unique Asian-inspired flavours? Yes please! Despite having seen their products at special events and on social media, it took all the way into a global pandemic for me to actually try their items for myself. I didn't go for the popular box of macarons and instead got two cakes to remotely celebrate Mother's Day at a distance with my maternal figures. I went with their Mother's Day special and the 3:15 cake, but unfortunately in the pictures you see how they did not survive delivery very well. The cakes had jumped in the box and suffered shift, slip, and crack which was significantly disappointing given the price paid for product and delivery. Fortunately when I reached out to them on this the DaanGo team was helpful and noted my concerns, and encouraged me to give them another chance! Eventually I went back for another cake to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. The longevity cake stood out as the obvious choice and the ability to choose the interior flavour was great to customize for personal preference. The decoration on top looked really good and was definitely photo-ready, with a bright red fondant layer that looked so celebratory. While the cake was delicious, the decorations were mostly fondant and a super thick layer too - served the purpose to hold shape for a long photo session but didn't taste like much beyond sugar. The peach shaped decor on top was also completely solid, rock-hard fondant that just get set aside and are not consumed - a real disappointment for their size as it became a huge waste after a few photos. I can't speak for all the cakes since they were gifted away, but I was happy with their unique Asian-inspired flavours. The cakes are relatively light and have a variety of flavour notes - not all of them are apparent but the effort is there and if you try different parts of each carefully you'll taste what you've paid for. The detail on each cake is meticulously done and a lot of effort is put into creating the product and ensuring it is aesthetically pleasing with consistent output. The house-made ice cream pints are a treat if you're looking for something unique. Flavours were easily identifiable and the ice cream was super duper creamy - a little scoop goes a long way! I'll be back for more ice cream in the future, but will probably hold back on cakes and macarons but for special occasions where I'm looking for a centerpiece dessert or showy gift. The flavours are great and unique but unfortunately this won't be my top bakery of choice in town because I still can't justify paying the significant premium for cuteness. read more
First time trying Daan Go and decided to go for their macarons because they look super cute!! Especially the Lucky cat one. There are variety of flavours to choose from and they all taste really good. However, It is definitely on the expensive side, I did think the macarons would've been slightly bigger :(. I would definitely come back one in awhile for special occasions though. read more
Oh man what a beautiful cake..(I'm talking about "Gold Thorn"- the durian shaped cake). It was a bit on the expensive side at $42 and I was a bit surprised by how small it was when arriving in store. But it fed a family of 8 quite nicely, albeit we had small slices, and I would probably opt for a larger cake for a group that size in future. The smell of durian filled the air shortly after opening the adorably patterned cake box, and the cake itself was absolutely delicious. They did not skimp on the ingredients - it tasted very much like durian in cake form with lots of durian puree/mousse. There is a crispy and crumbly base that was also very yummy - like the base of a cheesecake. I read another review that the stem of the durian was connected with a toothpick, which could be dangerous, but I think it is now connected using a piece of uncooked pasta, much safer. This was my first experience at Daan Go Cake Lab, it's on the pricier side but well worth it for the quality and artistry of the cakes! read more
4.5 because what on earth. Everything is SoOoO CUTE!!! Had a little dessert surprise delivered to my doorstep this week as a pick-me-up because I had one of those everything-was-going-wrong days. Safe to say, I not only have some of the most caring friends ever, but also received the cutest pick-me-up ever (aside from dog visits of course)!!! My friend is a dessert connaisseur. I'm pretty sure he spent all COVID trying different dessert delivery/take out spots, so his picks are always très délicieux. Because of some food allergies I have and the stock available that day, my friend surprised me with the Cheesecake Fromage and Ba-Na-Na. The Cheesecake Fromage (Arg so cute!!) is a white chocolate lime passion fruit cheesecake with a handmade lime ganache truffle mouse. I definitely tasted the lime part (though my undefined tastebuds thought it was lemon). It was light and refreshing. The Ba-Na-Na was so interesting! I'm not sure what I was expecting as I rarely ever get banana flavored desserts, but I definitely went bananas when I realized it tasted like real bananas and not some super artificial banana popsicle flavor. The dessert includes banana-chocolate macaron, caramelized coconut ganach, banana caramel, cheese mousse, crunchy base. Very interesting and worth a try, if not just for the absolute cuteness! read more

Amazing Cake Shop! I would 100% recommend ordering your cakes or macarons from here! Look at the details for each piece. No wonder Daango is known for the cutest pastries around town, they really didn't disappoint! I had two different cakes the 3:15 (HK Milk Tea) and the Mont Blanc (Chestnut). I would definitely get both of them again they were so rich in flavour and the presentation was so cute! The totoro macroon was too cute to eat! I pre-ordered this off Uber Eats and had it delivered to me later in the evening! Super quick and convenient read more
I love Daan Go macarons! This time I got the other 9 flavors (from left top to righ)t: - White Peach, Pistachio, Banana - Blueberry, Passion Fruit, Mango - Matcha, Pandan Coconut, Vietnamese Coffee The flavors are always on point! Not overly sweet. And some flavors like Matcha and Mango are in the Halloween design. However, this time I feel that the macarons are dryer than before. And it is best to eat it less than 24 hours. I also get the Tira-Meow-Su. Overall, it is yummy and love the Meow marshmallow. In my opinion, i wish the cake is more soaked. Other than that, it is so cute!! read more

I've been ordering cakes from Christopher for a few years now, and started even before he opened Daan Go Cake Lab. He has maintained the excellent quality of his pastries and cakes in his store. In fact, he and his team have developed some incredible and innovative pastries and cakes. The best part is that his desserts are not sickeningly sweet. Tobey and Terry Addington read more
Just wanted to drop by and say that the 3:15 cake from here is delicious! $40 might seem expensive for its size but the cake is thiCccCk and we were able to divide it into 8 slices. 3:15 has strong notes of HK milk tea and coffee and the cake itself is not too sweet. The 3 macarons that came with the cake on the other hand were a bit on the sweet side but that goes as expected. My mom, who usually doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, even helped herself to a second serving! Very happy with this cake that I got for Mother's Day and I definitely plan to order from Daan Go for our next special occasion. UPDATE: I decided to try out a pint of their mango and passion fruit ice cream for $10 and OMG - so good. The mango flavour was strong! It was sweet but naturally due to the mango - not in an added sugar kind of way. There were also bits of sago throughout, which really added that Daan Go flair. I can't wait to try their HK milk and coconut & taco flavour! read more

Ordered the durian cake thru Uber eat. I'm very happy about it. First look, I thought it was a durian. A lot of detailing in colour and shape. Taste wise, taste great! Very strong durian favour and smell. You will love it if you are a durian fan. Right amount of sweetness. Very creamy. Just order and try it. You will be impressed. read more
I watched Christopher Siu on MC Canada and was excited to hear about his bake shop opening up! We rarely go down to Scarborough so when we finally decided to make the trip down, it was a big deal. Pictures on FB made it even more tempting. The shop is on the north side of the plaza. The plaza itself reminding me of my childhood days (a LONG time ago). The shop itself is minimally decorated but you're drawn to the super cute macarons. I love the Asian inspired flavours like roasted milk tea and Vietnamese coffee. We also got a citron and strawberry for the kiddos. While the characters are super cute and the creams are quite delicious, the shells are disappointingly chewy in texture. We have yet to find a macaron in the GTA that is comparable to what we've had in Paris. $30 for 9 macarons... we probably won't go back for these unless we get them for friends? Even then, probably not because the texture isn't ideal. The cake flavours really intrigued us to try too. We ended up getting the 3:15 which is HK tea flavoured mousse? and sponge cake. We found the flavour to be good (a nice strong milk tea) but the mousse was too heavy and thick for our taste. We love chestnut so we decided on the Mont Blanc which also has a Chinese almond mousse too. Again, while the flavours mixed well, it was too heavy. I wish there was more chestnut too. The special today was the Zen for $4.50 (the other slices were $6.50). Black and white sesame and matcha cheesecake. I could taste the sesame in the biscuit at the bottom, but it was lacking in the middle. There wasn't much matcha flavour either. I was really rooting for this new cake shop but will have to say that we tried it and will stick to the other two up in Richmond Hill. read more

Came to pick up macarons for a friend's birthday so I can't really comment on the macarons. I did order a slice of 3:15 milk tea cake and it was good, not too sweet. It had a hint of milk tea. I wish it was a little stronger and at $7 a slice it is definitely a treat for me buy it. read more

Really, really, really wanted to love this place... but it's great marketing and cute macarons couldn't disguise: poor planning, and unmet expectations. The week it opened there was HUGE buzz: word of mouth, BlogTO video post - it was everywhere and everyone heard. Macarons are still very trendy (hello, THE macaron house, Laduree just opened at Yorkdale!) and combined with the craft of decorating them as Disney, Sanrio, and Studio Ghibli characters was a guaranteed win. Expectations were high. So imagine me and my friends disappointment (when we drove 45 mins to get there), to find that only 3 flavours of macarons, and 1 cake left... and a MASSIVE line. The line was expected, but the lack of stock was not. A week later, we finally got our hands on 15 of the 18 flavours of macarons. This time we called ahead and ordered in advance. They were, indeed, beautifully crafted. And for that alone, it's worth the price. But flavour-wise, only half of them were on point. The best were Vietnamese coffee, black sesame, pistachio, hazelnut, mango and all the tea flavours. Least enjoyable: salted caramel. In summary, great for photos and visual indulgence... but better taste can be found elsewhere. Would return to try more cakes. But due to their frequent lack of stock... it would be a while before I venture there again. Hope they adjust their business to meet demand (which is there!)... to avoid having more disappointed customers. read more
Picked up a quarantined treat from Daan Go Cake Lab. Hoping the vegan coconut cookie is a good pick me upper to fuel the rest of the physical isolation period. Unfortunately, it was cold inside. Perhaps it sat in the fridge? Perhaps it is not a fresh cookie? Regardless, I was slightly disappointed as I was really looking forward to this rare treat. read more

Baker Siu, Master Chef contestant opened up his own store. What a treat to the neighbourhood. By bringing his creativity to these wonderful desserts.... They tasted so good!!!! Okay, enough plugging and back to real review. DaanGo was opened a few weeks ago. This little store opened in north end of Scarborough in a slightly older and inconspicuous plaza. Unless you got GPS, it's not easy to find. However, thanks to social media, that helped a lot. The first time I came over, there was a huge line up. But I waited for my turn. I ordered 3 of pistachio, blueberry and black sesame. They tasted so good! I liked the black sesame the most. The second time I was here, I had to get the earl grey, citron, Vietnamese coffee and Hazelnut Chocolate. Earl Grey is now my go to flavour! I tasted the richness of the Earl Grey tea, and there wasn't a strong sweetness to it. Absolute drool! Now I am very eager to try other products DaanGo will sell. The products are definitely worth it. read more
Come to this place because of all the postings and noise that people talking about it. When I arrived they still have many choices left except for the 3:15 which I think it has milk tea, coffee, and pineapple bun cookies crumbs. Heard this is their most popular cake so I guess I will have to try that next time. I ordered the characters macarons of 9 and 2 cakes, which are the Montblanc and Zen. They are not bad but it's quite expensive for a piece and I am expecting more if I'm paying for that price. The macarons looks very cute which is their gimmick and I agree it's working for most people. In term of taste, it's not bad as it's not too sweet and some flavours are different, but the "cookies" part isn't moist enough. Also, they need to do a better job on putting the macaron together because some of them aren't put well, like one side is shifted a little and not align with the bottom. It just kind of ruin the presentation. Overall, this place isn't bad and they do have some decent desserts, and also girls and kids would love it. read more
Daan GO cake lab right now is my favorite place to order birthday cake. Their cake is beautifully design and delicious. This is my second time, and I pick tiramisu cake. The crunchy bottom is definitely the highlight of the cake. However, compare to the first time, the 3:15 cake. I still like that one more bc of the mixture of Vietnamese coffee, milk tea and Ovaltine. That 3:15 cake I believe there is no other place you can get a cake like this. Well done Daan GO cake lab read more

Normally I am really not one for the whole opening-day Instagram hype thing, preferring to let others test it out first before I decide if it's worth the pain. But I was in the area today, so why not? Had the blueberry cheese tart - it was good. I believe they make everything with reduced sugar, so if you like your desserts on the less sweet side (as I do), you'll enjoy this. Of course, visual appeal was completely on point :) I wanted to try the macaroons too, but those are a liiitttllleee expensive so I think I'll wait for a consensus on them first before I go for the splurge lol. read more
The grand opening looked like a success, very busy with lots of support and love from his fans. The staff was very excited and of course figuring out the opening day kinks but very friendly and positive even though the line up was almost put the door. They had complimentary Starbucks coffee, tea, roasted pork, and gave out 10% gold cards for next visit. Sampled: 1 blueberry and 1 rare(?? said the mature lady) cheesecake, which was a nice one bite tart. Great cookie crust crunch and not overly sweet filling. It was good but not what I came for. The HK Milk Tea cake - got a slice and it was delicious and unique. The flavour of tea had a bitter sweet note and not too sweet, which might be perfect for some. This would go great with an afternoon tea, but not coffee or espresso as it would get lost in mouth feel. I like my sugary treats and my coffee double double so it was just missing a touch of sugar for me. Cute character Macaroons- worth it! My favorite by far is the Totoro with the Vietnamese coffee filling, and not cuz I'm a Totoro fan but the filling combo is a MUST TRY! I got a 9 pack of mixed characters and it was hard not to take all these yummy characters home with me, even harder not to eat them as they are so cute! Fridge magnets was an idea my husband suggested Shells are well made with the perfect chew, fillings were all generally light as he uses fresh fruit instead of extracts and nothing was heavy like a ganache filling. I would have loved a tad more filling inside to really taste the some of the flavours. Stronger flavours a like the black sesame were more pronounced while the white peach got lost on the palette. The Strawberry was nice and fruity but the Strawberry-Yuzu another Yelper remarked was only a promo macaroon from another event. Parking- not enough for this small plaza, so come ready for a stroll. Great place, excited to taste whatChris comes out with next! read more

I ordered the durian cake for my mom and dads birthday. The ordering process was a simple call away. The cake was super cute and even got 5% off for yelp check in which was nice. Personally I am not a huge durian fan. In fact I hate durian and can't stand the smell. But even so I still wanted to try a tiny bit of the cake so I can write this review. In terms of the presentation it is definitely a 4.5/5! The reason for the -0.5 is because some of the torn fell. And I was able to see the green on parts of the cake. Taste and scent wise you can definitely smell the durian and it has a strong durian taste. The texture all went very well together. My parents and my boyfriend all enjoyed it. I've bought a cake from Chris before his opening of all his stores and I can definitely see that he has improved a lot. The cake may be small, probably can feed 5-6 people. Cost $37~. This may seem expensive to some but you're paying for the design and flavours. If you just want a regular cake that can feed 10+ people for under $30, go buy a Costco cake. I would definitely recommend the cakes and would like to try out the others They also have a rewards program! read more
