This is the place to go for old school HK bakery items that won't break the bank. True to the very…read morefaded price list out front, the prices remain reasonable. Counter service, in and out type of place. Displayed in standard bakery style cases are your HK bakery staples, some breads, and Western style baked goods. Place is big enough to fit a comfortable 6-7 people. No muss no fuss. Cash only & nothing to fault service on. They do package in brown paper bags only so i'd recommend bringing an old cake box or the like if you're planning to scoop up more than a few items as the bags do get oily from the butter/oils from the baked goods. Free parking on Hastings and some side streets. Food wise- only tried their pineapple bun & egg tart. It's $1 each, no tax. Both tastes fine. No major faults. Hope the pricing remains the same. I did wish that overwhelming baked goods smell would be present but maybe I didn't come early enough.

I haven't been to Kanadell in many years as it's quite far from me. I used to love it quite a lot…read more When I tried their breads recently, i was somewhat disappointed. Firstly, in today's economy, the prices have gone up; however, what I got wasn't really on par with the price tags. The melon pan had no filling in it which is the norm, however, i couldn't even taste hojicha. The "melon" part of the bread all fell off after one bite. I've not had a melon pan that was like this before. The beef curry pan was delicious but there was barely any filling in it. I remember there was more many years ago. It used to be one of my favorite items from Kanadell so it was definitely a disappointment. Lastly, the animal character with red bean filling inside, there was also barely any filling in it. The earl Grey shortbread cookies tasty but I found it a tad bit expensive because it was a small packaging .

A neighbourhood favourite with all the popular Japanese goods and freshly made Japanese food…read more The curry is a good generous help of rice and ground beef curry. Top it off with pork katsu for $3.50. The curry is mild and rich. The pork katsu nicely fried. I also purchased the Japanese egg sando which is far better than Canadian 7 Eleven Japanese egg sandwich.

I like this store especially when I'm hungry and needing a quick bite. My favorites are the bbq…read morepork and beef sandwiches. They taste good and are reasonably priced. Wish they had more fillings though. Be forewarned they have a lot of air, lol. But I know it's a high inflation environment. They also have plenty of bread options. They even have cakes. I tried the Black Forest Butter Cake and it was good, creamy and fluffy and would have gone well with coffee. I was satisfied! The place is clean. It's inside the mall. They take cash only unfortunately. So have to make sure you have cash with you.

They put a big piece of coloured plastic (black and red) to surround the 8" durian cake that I…read moreordered and they taped the plastic which made it difficult to remove it (usually the bakeries put a small transparent plastic to surround the cake without the tape because it is easier to remove it this way). Also, the coloured plastic was unnecessary for the kind of cake that I ordered (usually it is used to stabilize the mousse cake but mine is a cream cake). The coloured plastic made the cake look ugly, and it gave them an excuse to put less cream and decoration for the cake. Everything was tasteless - the cream (powder taste), the durian meat (weak taste mixed with cream), the sponge cake (minimal egg taste), and the fruits on top of the cake (they did not have the clear sugar glaze for the fruits; they tasted bitter and the kiwi still had bits of skin on - it was gross). The cake was nasty because the flavour of the ingredients was minimal and it was not sweet. It deterred you from finishing it. In addition, there was a small piece of debris (brown shell) in the cake; it was scary. They did a poor job for the cake (it was just big and heavy - quantity over quality); it was very disappointing. In terms of the service, the staff asked me to pay some deposit when I ordered the cake at the store. It was unusual for bakeries to ask customers for deposit because usually customers pay when they pick up the cake (e.g. when you order the cake by phone then you pay when you pick it up). When I went there to pick up the cake, the staff did not greet me, look at me, or talk to me at all; she just took my receipt and retrieved the cake. She did not even say 'thank you' and she looked annoyed. The staff should be happy to get the whole cakes for customers because the whole cakes are the most expensive item in the store and they are celebratory. The fact that she just taped one small candle with the plastic knife on the box without asking was unprofessional. Cakes are about happy occasions. But their cake made me feel terrible after eating it. They charged me $80 for the cake. It was not even worth half the price with the service. P.S. The bakeries always have a catalogue of cakes for customers because the store would not have all kinds of cakes available in the fridge. Then the staff would explain to customers of their design capabilities. That is service. The fact that the bakeries do not provide a catalogue to customers and just give customers a price list instead means they want to limit the choices for customers by just showing the customers the cakes in the fridge. That means they do not want customers to be happy. If the staff do not want to sell to customers, that means they do not want business.

There's a reason I'm giving these guys 4 *'s…read more Pricing. Hear me out. I don't eat this type of stuff on any kind of a regular baisis. Period. I don't really care about the small nuances in taste, texture, etc, etc... I'm basically in and out. I get what I want and I leave. First impressions. Family run and it's basic. No frills, Canto style. Duct tape on the air-con blower that was some beat up non descript unit. Canola oil all over the place. Depending on what you're looking for, these guys win on price, but maybe not in terms of what I mention above - taste, texture, etc, etc. I ended up getting a bunch of stuff. Pineapple buns, wiener buns, and a small baked tapioca pudding. The wiener bun was very "average", meaning nothing special and nothing great, That said, it was less than $2 each. The baked tapioca pudding 6", $6.50. I knew what I was getting into, the moment I walked in. It's a bit of a hole in the wall. It's not pretty, atmosphere wise, in any sense of the word. All of their products are not in the display case, so you may need to ask for it. Auntie was reasonably friendly to me. Cash only. Parking available on side street. 揮春 plastered all over the place. Recommended for cheap Asian baked goods.

They take credit card…read more Yep. Wonderful to find an Asian bakery that takes credit cards. Did not seem to have a minimum order. Food was fresh and just coming out of the oven it was 1 pm. Clean and spacious aisles to shop in. Plenty of selection and good amount of discounted items too in baskets throughout the shop and they offer ready to go drinks! Looked like some sort of juice or slush.

They tend to sell out quite fast but they do make couple batches a day. So no worries. Unfortunately, I sometimes wish they can open later. They closes early, so unless you come here right after work or you will just have to miss out. Their staff are friendly. I highly recommend this place.

This place has a ton of traffic right beside the Starbucks on the corner of 39th and Cambie. I see they have caught up with the times and now take debit. Usually my boss comes in here to pick up two box of treats for our office, and they are pretty consistent, and good. I do like the curry beef puff pastry they have here, I haven't run into their apple turnover, which I liked so much in their Burnaby location. In terms of Chinese bakeries, Anna's rates way up there as one of the best, not just for the individual servings, but also for their cakes made to order. Whether it is a birthday, or any other festive event, they have it covered, some popular favorites are chestnut (not my favorite, due to the paste), fruit toppings, and chocolate to name a few. Just remember that Anna's, because they also know they are rated high up there come with a price tag. They are not cheap, and you can go in here and spend a good chunk of change. They have sales of items after a certain time, I think 5, or it could be 6. With this place you know the cakes aren't too sweet, just right for my palate, and they have always been dependable for that. Usually they are open everyday too, even on Christmas, they just don't open too late.

Bakery Factory is a Taiwanese-owned bakery that really brings an authentic Taiwanese-style bread…read moreexperience to the area. There's a great variety of options, from classic soft buns to more unique and creative flavors you don't often see elsewhere. Everything looks fresh and beautifully presented, and it's honestly hard to choose because there are so many interesting selections. During their soft opening a couple of months ago, items would sell out pretty early in the day. But now things seem much more stable -- I've noticed that most of their popular items are still available even later on, which makes visiting a lot easier and more enjoyable. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety. They've recently started serving coffee as well, which is a nice addition. The dining area is clean, modern, and relaxing -- a great spot to sit down and enjoy your pastries. highly recommended if you're looking for Taiwanese-style bakery items with lots of variety and good value. I can't stop coming back for more!

We went to President Plaza to buy lunch so i hopped over to Baking Factory to see what else I could add to my lunch. The interior is well lit and clean. Not much welcome greetings from the staff. I wish they would have less of a poker face on. The bakery has a good selection of Asian bakery items. I took some time looking at all options before deciding on 2 egg tarts and a puff. The egg tarts were yummy and not too sweet. Baked to perfection - the pie pastry was crispy and the inside was soft and creamy. I didn't like the puff as much. It didn't have much of the hojicha taste and was a tad bit sweet. What threw me off was the cream inside kept oozing out of the puff. I ended up with no cream inside the puff as it was all on the counter top. I've never had such an experience in all my cream puff eating times. Not sure if it was because their puff shell wasn't sturdy enough? Nonetheless, i'll be back for other bakery items!
