It was smooth, and so very indulgent. I was about to treat myself a little more to a piece of cheesecake, as it looked so good, but realized a latte was already too much for me. Next time for sure. They had a lot of treats on display and I was given free biscotti with my coffee which was so yum. Who knew yuzu and biscotti would go so well together? There's two tables so the seating is limited, but I would just grab a drink and take it along the waterfront as nothing beats that view. Such a great new addition!

I was looking for a cheesecake for a birthday celebration since I know they love cheesecake but…read morewanted something a bit more special and not from a grocery store. Found this spot and they had a good selection mid afternoon to pick up on a Sunday. The person at the counter is super helpful in helping describe the cake. They have basque cheesecake which is richer and the flavour I'm sure the person I'm gifting would confidently enjoy but I wasn't sure if they would prefer the lightness of their popular options over the classic. She explained the glazed popular cheesecakes they have aren't regular New York style cheese cake (despite their Uber Eats describing it as such for their Yakult flavour cheese cake). It's more like cheesecake mousse. I didn't want to get the basque cheesecake because it didn't look as nice. So she said the black sesame is in between the classic basque / New York cheesecake and the popular glazed mousse cheesecake. It's also made of marscapone and layered with matcha and not too sweet. It's also her fav so I went with her recommendation. I notice the black sesame cake isn't shown as available on Uber Eats delivery. I decided to pick up in person to make sure the delivery goes smoothly. The price difference is just $1. However, Uber Eats does charge tax and other fees whereas there's no tax at all on pick up. I eventually tried a piece and it does taste like a hybrid cheesecake in texture though the middle thin layer is a bit soggy, though I didn't mind that part. However, even though I love matcha I'm not a fan of the matcha and black sesame combination. I think I would've like a layer with more intense black sesame as the cake itself and the black sesame very subtle. The matcha is more intense creating an imbalance and over powers the black sesame flavour in the cake. Still a tasty cake especially for someone that prefers lighter not too sweet cakes. Note the staff does hand you the payment and there's a tip option of 10% as the lowest suggested option, which I found kinda excessive for just putting a cake in the box. They don't even make cakes at this location. It's all made in the Sauga location and she didn't even write the happy birthday on the cake. I know it's optional but it's just the consumer experience, I tipped but I feel like the tipping culture is a bit excessive to pass onto the consumer to tip on an expensive cake. Just price the cake fairly to compensate the employee or waive for pick ups and have it for only dine-ins. Unlike the previous review, it seems like they do provide a little free happy birthday topper and also a complimentary skinny candle and you're also welcome to buy extra candles if you want. They also sell some $10~ decorative helium balloons to make your celebration a bit more festive. This is their second location. The main one being in Sauga, which I've been told has been in operation for over 25 years apparently. This one I was told was opened in the last 2 years.

Their specialty is subing--traditional flaky Chinese pastries with thin, crispy layers. They cost $1.99 each (or $18.99 for 12) and are on the smaller side (about 4 bites).

MQ has the best Wintermelon Cake I have eaten so far in Markham. It reminds me of the Wintermelon Cakes from New York City back in the 1970-80's. Lots of filling with a thin & flakey outer shell. MQ sells one for $ 1.39. Other Markham bakeries sells theirs for between $ 2.75-$ 3.25. My go to place for these has been Aroma Bakery in Peachtree Mall next door. Aroma's version is flatter with lots of fillings too but at almost twice the cost of MQ's. MQ has other "Subing" cakes. I was quite surprise of the quality of the others ... the Black Sesame one has a nice texture of crystals, the Dates and Hawthorn ones has a unique mixing texture that's NOT dried. Surprising how this is when the outer shell is dried and flaky. Nt daughter loved the peanut flavour. They have 12 different flavours and sell a dozen for $12.00. My only suggestion is to mark the different flavours with English signage so the counter person doesn't have to point out each flavours to each customers. They also had their brand of nuts in cute silver tins. The Macadamia nuts one cost $ 10.95. I have to point out that their packaging is the most modern of any bakeries. The box and square cardboard box/bag is a nice gift-like version to bring to parties. My daughter brought the $3.75 raspberry egg tart. It's didn't taste like the traditional Chinese egg tarts. The texture of MQ's was more like a semi-hard custard. Not as soft and bouncy like the ones you find at other Chinese bakeries.

They have a good selection of Chinese style baked goods, such as egg tarts, portugese style tarts, pineapple buns, and some different varieties not seen in other bakeries. I tried a few items, if you buy 6 items, tax will be included and they were generally pretty good. The service was also quick and efficient and also very reasonable. The toppings on one of the filled cheese type buns I tried were a little too sweet for my personal preference but it is common for Chinese style baked goods. Parking is easy and abundant so it's a nice spot if you want quick baked items to go. They also had a small table with two chairs if you wanted to eat in.

We tried their mousse (I forgot what the name was) and it was layered with cream, chocolate cake, brownie bites and chocolate sauce and tasted so good! Their cafe mocha is also quite delicious and I was surprised that it was only $5.5 - much cheaper than what you get downtown. The ice cream sundae was my boyfriend's favourite. It was loaded with brownies, vanilla ice cream and even a cone stuffed in. This was such a great find in Scarborough and I highly recommend people to try it!

We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.
