But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

Whenever I have the opportunity, I make it a point to visit this place consistently. My usual order consists of honey lemon and a hotdog sandwich, which never fails to satisfy me. The service remains impeccable, just as it always has been. Additionally, they offer a limited seating area at the front and sell various snacks on the side.

Staff is usually fast and friendly so it's a quick in and out, and a few times I've come late in the day for rice rolls and they've made a fresh one for me if I'm willing to wait. They have a good variety of buns and dim sum, plus some homemade specialty items like put jai go and zhong zi. I like their pineapple buns, the custard one is always sold out by the afternoon so I'll get the red bean bun instead. They also mentioned they can do cake orders with a few hours notice if they're not too busy. I haven't tried their drinks yet since I'm always there for the baked goods. There's two tables inside and they're almost always taken by local seniors enjoying their tea time. Super convenient spot right by the 18th Ave D train to grab a drink or bite.

Each of us purchased at least $30 worth of bread and pastries, and I also spent about $20 on desserts and drinks. Our total purchase was well over $100. After sitting in the bakery for about ten minutes, one of my friends still had half of her pastry left. Unfortunately, we had already thrown away our utensils. She politely asked an employee for a plastic fork so she could finish the pastry on the way home. The employee responded in a very unfriendly manner and said that forks are not provided for takeout orders. We explained that the pastry had originally been eaten in the bakery and was simply unfinished, and that we had all purchased a large amount of food to take home. Nevertheless, she refused to provide even a single fork. What disappointed us most was not the fork itself, but the attitude. After spending more than $100, it was surprising to be denied a simple plastic fork and treated with such inflexibility and lack of courtesy. We have always enjoyed Wheatfield Bakery's products, but customer service is just as important as good food. I hope management will take this feedback seriously and remind staff that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in a customer's experience. A plastic fork costs only a few cents, but good customer service is priceless. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling unappreciated as customers. We hope Wheatfield Bakery will review its customer service standards so that future customers are treated with greater courtesy, respect, and common sense.

Mushroom and chicken boxed rice - lots of chicken bone shards and too little pieces of Chinese sausage slices. Mixed rice noodle with fish ball - the fish ball option was something I requested for over the phone when they notified me one item that I ordered ran out. The fish ball was really tiny and on the harder side. Really not good quality fish balls. The rice noodle was not silky and smooth. The sauce was the worst part. Not enough sauce and too watered down. The flavors that's usually in the sauce were very subtle. Pork floss cheese loaf bread - the slices of bread were thick and fluffy so I was impressed. The pork floss cheese could be better. Not enough pork floss. Sounded better on paper Steamed Custard bun - it was a big bun so I excitedly ripped it apart but I found some weird charcoal color particles in the custard filling when I did that.
